We had a wonderful 14 day stay in the Penthouse apartment at Reefview Apts. Apartment had everything we needed for our stay,cold fridge,comfy bed,extremely clean and comfortable overall. Great hosts,Karoll and Nick were extremely accommodating and friendly,we felt right at home,you couldn't ask for more knowledgeable host's. The location is centrally located with plenty of local charm and vendors nearby,Karoll will fill you in on all the nearby vendors restaurants and beaches.I was also fortunate to pre-book and fish with Nick,the islands premier inshore fishing guide,landed my first Snook and Tarpon...amazing.If you have any questions or concerns you should reach out to Karoll as I did. Karoll was able to book a rental car for us in advance and have it delivered to the apt.
We felt very relaxed and comfortable during our stay.If your looking for a real taste of the island life with local charm and hospitality,don't hesitate to give them a try.

I'm writing this review missing Antigua so much! We had a fab time at the Reefview Apartments and I feel like I found a real kindred spirit in Karoll the owner. Such good fun and super knowledgeable as an ex-pat who has been in Antigua for over 30 years. We really like snorkelling and there's a beach just two minutes away on foot with a great reef so it was ideal for us. Also close to the Jolly Harbour area and the various beaches and bars along the road on the way there such as the great Rum Bus Beach Bar (created from old London buses).
Karoll was able to give us lots of local tips, and we highly recommend the local restaurant/bar Chappies for a real taste of authentic Antiguan life and GREAT food. The apartment had everything we needed and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Hi Lorraine & Andy,
It was indeed our pleasure to host you both at our tropical hideaway down by the sea here in Cades Bay. We are so glad that you enjoyed our coconut thatched cabana next to the waters edge and managed to relax and enjoy the great snorkeling right off our home beach here in the coves. I know you had a brilliant day snorkeling as well on the boat trip, Antigua looks so beautiful from the water. Our rescued scarlet macaw really enjoyed all your daily interaction with her. Have a great year enjoying all the grandchildren ~ hope to see you back here soooooon! sunny regards Karoll & Nick

When we began to plan a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, we wanted to find a place that would be memorable and personal. We especially wanted to see more of Antigua than a resort would offer...we wanted to explore and enjoy the simple pleasures of the island. We found the perfect place! From the moment we met Karoll (she picked us up at the airport and took us grocery shopping), we knew we were in for a treat. Her knowledge of the island is extraordinary and every recommendation she gave us resulted in a wonderful experience. From Sunday night at Shirley Heights to the Creole Cruise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment had everything we needed for rest and relaxation and provided a good location for driving our rental car all around the island to see the sights. Karoll's personal touches make it feel like home and her friendly presence made it difficult to leave. We will never forget our trip to Antigua!

Room tip: The penthouse has views of the garden and the water.

As a family of 4 we travelled to Antigua for a wedding. Our Reefview apartment was perfect for us, enough space, lovely and clean with a fully equipped kitchen. The outside space perfect for morning coffee. Our host was attentive, informative, helpful and welcoming and with the beautiful rescued pet dogs/cats/parrot we felt right at home. Lovely location near to a beautiful beach, with lots of other beaches and bars easily accessed by a short drive.
Loved our stay in magical Antigua.

We stayed in the Penthouse Suite in March 2019 and loved it.

We were collected from the Airport by Karoll which was welcome after the flight from the UK and she gave us guide of the local area on the way.

Karoll pointed out the local bakery, shops and and eating spots in the local village all of which we tried.

The apartment was just perfect, extremely clean and very well equipped. Things we were not expecting but were provided were beach towels, hairdryer, cool boxes, sun chars and the fully equipped kitchen. Everything you could possibly want or need in the kitchen and if there was something possibly missing Karroll would have lent it to you.

The area was perfect for us and close (by car or bus) to all the best beaches in Antigua (in our opinion!)

The Bakers (Tudor and her brother Jefferson) with fresh bread, cakes, meatballs and more snacks was great and worth the walk each day. Golddeens for her fried chicken, johnny cakes and lovely smile is a must for Friday and Saturdays and Chappys restaurant and bar perfect and very close for dinner (fresh fish a specialty) all close enough to the apartment to walk to and plenty more in the surrounding areas.

We had an amazing stay and would recommend to all. Karoll and her family made us feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We will be returning1

Room tip: We loved the Penthouse with the great balcony and views

This is a little piece of paradise on an island paradise. Karoll has created a tropical retreat in a location that is close to everything but off the beaten path. The loft apartment is a unique little gem that provides everything you need in a special style but doesn't overdo it. The kitchen is small but provides all the basics. I was concerned about the lack of AC but quickly realized that the ocean breeze was a much better source of cooling than a noisy AC unit. It is located just off the main road so you have easy access to public bus service but no traffic noise. I went for a week without a car rental. Some of the best beaches on the island are 5 minutes by bus. Karoll is a gracious and knowledgeable host who is generous with her help but never intrusive. For an independent traveler who wants to avoid the resort scene and integrate with the local community this is a great place. My thanks go to Karoll and Nick.

Room tip: I was in the "loft apartment" that is not as fancy as the other two units.
