The Long House - Luxurious ocean front villa with stunning views - Sleeps 8

* * * WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR 12 YEAR OLDS AND YOUNGER *** (all year except over Christmas and New Year)

The house covers over 7,000 sq ft of both indoor and outdoor living space. The immense and well kept garden, which runs all the way down to the sea, flourishes with an array of tropical plants and palm trees. Shady pergolas on both the east and west sides of the villa provide the perfect spot for some afternoon reading away from the intense sun. Sunrise and Sunset views are a bonus of this east/west facing home.

As you enter this home you will be taken aback by the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, the glassy bay, the nearby uninhabited smaller islands, reefs and the unspoilt greenery in the distance. Designed to harmonise with the environment, the villa allows you to become one with nature as a large veranda that extends the length of the house connects all the rooms and offers the experience of indoor/outdoor living every step of the way. On the extended veranda is a court yard style garden, separate seating areas and the infinity edged pool.


Bedrooms 1 & 2: All bedrooms are en-suite and have ceiling fans, although the area enjoys constant breeze. The first and second bedrooms are on the right of the main entrance to the villa. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a four poster queen size bed, night stands with lamps and a spacious walk-in closet. The bathroom is furnished with top quality bathroom fittings and an open air shower. The second en-suite bedroom is located close to the first but with ample space between rooms for privacy. These two rooms also have between them a linen closet / storage room. The second bedroom is fitted with a king size metal frame bed, night stands with lamps and a spacious walk-in closet. The bathroom is identical to that of bedroom one.

All of the four en-suite bathrooms are identical in character; they are all very large with open roof showers covered by a mesh.

Dining and living area: Returning to the main entrance of the villa, a stroll under the covered veranda leads to the kitchen, dining and living area whilst walking past the court yard style garden and pool. Although the kitchen and the dining and living areas are separate, there is a feel of uniformity between the rooms similar to that of an open floor concept.

The living room is tastefully furnished with imported Italian sofas, side tables with lamps, a coffee table, television cabinet and other elite tasteful pieces. The dining area is furnished with a hand crafted rustic wooden dining table with two rustic wooden benches and traditional chairs placed at the short ends. The living and indoor dining area have custom made folding wooden doors to allow the house to be kept fully open on both sides or closed for privacy as one chooses.

The kitchen is just few steps away; it is fitted with professional grade stainless steel appliances including a double door refrigerator, five burner stove, convectional oven, microwave oven and dish washer and other small appliances. The cabinets are Italian and are pure white in colour and topped with marble which was carefully chosen to enhance the space. A large island unit with butchers block adorns the kitchen and includes stools for enjoying casual breakfast or coffee. Adjoining the kitchen is a large pantry.

Bedrooms 3 & 4: Further down the large veranda from the living area is the master suite which is accessible from both sides of the Villa. This room has a king size four poster bed, night stands with lamps, lounge chair, walk-in closet and other delicate touches. The bathroom compliments this room as it is decorated with white vanity, walk-in open roof shower and other elegant touches.

A little further is the last bedroom; this room is perfect for children or two sharing.
Make yourself comfortable in this villa, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great location
Nicely remote, very open house, beautiful pool, comfortable beds. No ice maker in the fridge but our escort to the house told us that so we bought ice. The house does not have air condoning which we knew when we made the reservation but we didn't know we would have extreme heat during our visit which made us very hot and unable to escape the heat. Otherwise, we enjoyed our visit.

Serenity!
What an absolutey beautiful home! At first we were taken aback by the location which seemed "way out somewhere" and then no air conditioning but soon fell in love with the home and grounds and the beautiful island breezes that flow throughout the home. We often laughed that to "turn on the A/C" was just to simply open the gorgeous mahogany shutters and let the breeze cool the house - it was so relaxing...what a gift! The house is in a very secluded part of the island away from the hustle and bustle of St. John's but still within 30 minutes to Nelson's Dockyard where we enjoyed an amazing lunch at "The Boom" - highly recommended! Other than that venture we cooked at home as we love to cook. The kitchen is fully equipped - we did have an adventure learning to cook on a charcoal grill which was new to us but fun! The grocery store experience resulted in a bit of "sticker shock" but this is an Island that has to import everything so just be prepared$$$ I cannot say enough about the house - it is appropriately called the "Longhouse" because it IS! LOL - but the heart of it is the beautiful living room, dining room, kitchen and outdoor covered patio overlooking the MAGNIFICENT WARM INFINITY POOL! It is the most amazing pool we have ever enjoyed in 15 years of villa rentals. And to sit and watch the hummingbirds, finches & doves working through the landscape was just a treat! Nick (via messaging) & Mossy (on island) were fabulous hosts and responded to every request/concern!

Beautiful remote location overlooking a lagoon. The property is idylic. Well appointed and has everything you need for a chilled out holiday, comfy beds, outdoor dining, barbecue and lovely pool. Amazing sunsets.Hosts are superb and will take good care of you on arrival etc. Can't recommend enough. You need a car to go places and see the island.

Our happy place
Love the Longhouse. 5th Stay in 7 years and would have been more if not for Covid. The perfect blend of a quiet out of the way tropical oasis but with all the comforts of a great resort and only minutes away from some great beaches and fantastic restaurants. The views are the best, and the breeze off the sea along with a great pool makes the Longhouse a wonderful place to spend a hot lazy day or days. Communication with Nick and Mossy is top notch and the maid Mercedes is a pure delight. Home a week now and can't wait for our next visit.

Christmas in paradise
We booked The Long House for the festivities this year and spent the most glorious week in this very special house. Made even more perfect with the Christmas tree that Nick so kindly arranged for our stay. The house is spacious and airy, with gorgeous views, spectacular sunsets, and sunrises for the early birds. With a small baby joining us on this trip, we spent much time in the house enjoying the pool, and watching him learn to swim, but the beaches are just a short drive away, half moon was our favorite. Kayaking with turtles on the still waters by the house was another highlight. Nick and Mossy are on hand for any questions and responses are pretty much instant, they are amazing hosts, and Mercedes the house keeper is a gem. We can’t wait to return!

A week of fun
My family of 4 (two under 10) stayed at the property for 7 days and had a wonderful time. As you can imagine, most of our time was spent by the pool, which they thoroughly enjoyed. My husband and I spent the nights gazing at the stars. Mossy met us at the airport and guided us to the home (we rented a car). Mercedes, the housekeeper, is wonderful and very funny. The home is well equipped, with the exception of a few kitchen amenities. The host was very responsive when we had any issues. Overall we enjoyed our time at the Long House.

Perfect girls getaway
We came for a relaxing vacation away from everything and this house was the perfect fit. The house was clean and spacious. The view from the pool area was wonderful. We spent all our time by pool watching the birds, the changing sky, laying on the daybed and swimming. The house was well equipped for our needs, the only "issue" was the internet connection is slow but that didn't effect our stay in anyway. It in fact help us turn off even more. We dont generally revisit an island or vacation spot twice but we would definitely come back and highly recommend booking a stay at the Longhouse.

Peaceful Vacation
Even before we got to Antigua, I knew that this vacation was going to be exceptional. The owners communicated with me from the beginning and during our stay. The thoughtfulness that they showed us went beyond anything I’ve experienced. They even had a cell phone available to make local calls. The rooms were beautiful and the bathrooms were so luxurious. The house was so open and located on a hill that we were always feeling the wonderful ocean breeze. The infinity pool was the icing on the cake for us and we enjoyed relaxing in it in the evenings. 10/10 experience and we will definitely do it again.

All the bedrooms were spacious with a large walkin closet and a cool bathroom and shower. We bbq’ed and ate, found very little reason to explore although we visited the beach at Long bay and Devils bridge. Nick and Mossy were great, and Mercedes helped us settle in. Iwould come again!

Wonderful home. Peace and quiet
The home is located in a quiet place with incredible ocean views on both sides (pictures do not do justice). The house is high on a hill. It got a nice breeze while we were there so the temperature in the house was perfect. The pool is amazing. The house is extremely well kept and well equipped. Nearest beach is a 10 min drive. The two supermarkets they recommended had everything from fresh produce to gluten free items (recommended to stop in one of them right upon arrival as those are in St John’s). Smaller convenience shop 8 min drive. Host Nick and Mossy were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We highly recommend this property.

Total relaxation
It’s fair to say that the photos of the Long House don’t do it justice. It’s a stunningly beautiful home and property that offers total peace and quiet. We were looking for something more private and relaxing than an all inclusive resort, and could not have asked for anything better than our experience at the Long House. We really appreciated being met at the airport by Mossy, and being guided to a grocery store and then to the house. It got our trip off to a great start and was a gentle introduction to driving in Antigua. Nick was always very responsive and replies to our questions were answered quickly. We look forward to returning one day soon.

We had a wonderful weeklong stay at the Long House! Having Mossy meet us at the airport and following her back to the house via the grocery store was a godsend. Definitely load up on groceries since they can be sparse on the island. The house is even more beautiful than the photos and the views from every corner are stunning! Long Beach, the Devil’s Bridge and Stingray City/Tortoise Island are a must and are very close to the house. Four wheel drive is highly recommended on the often bumpy roads. We look forward to coming back soon.

Just an amazing holiday at The Long House
My husband and I have recently returned from Antigua having spent the most amazing 10 nights at The Long House. Nick’s house really does have the WOW factor. It is set on a peninsula, so you have the view of the ocean on both sides of the property. The location for us was absolutely perfect, it was quiet and very private and the views were spectacular. We both felt very safe and comfortable in our surroundings. We had beautiful weather during our stay, a constant 28C with a wonderful warm breeze. Communication with Nick was fabulous, he kept us well informed throughout our booking, provided a welcome pack which was extremely helpful, and responded very quickly to any questions or concerns that we had. On arrival at Antigua Airport Mossy (Nick’s mother-in-law) was waiting for us with a lovely warm and friendly welcome. She waited patiently whilst we sorted out our hire car and then we followed her by car to the house, which is about 35mins drive from the airport. She gave us a tour and showed us how everything worked, which was so helpful and appreciated and it made us feel completely at home. Mossy also left contact numbers and a mobile phone in case we needed to contact her. As our flight was in the evening, Mossy very kindly did a small shop for us, to get us started and enabled us to have a cup of tea that evening, after a long flight, and the following morning. The house is very clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable with so much space inside and out. There were only 2 of us, so we only used half the house, but there was ample space to accommodate 4 couples. The swimming pool is amazing and so clean, we were never out of it, just being in the pool and being able to look out onto the ocean was priceless. Mercedes the house clearer was lovely and so friendly as were the pool guys. To enjoy Antigua I would definitely recommend hiring a car. There are some beautiful beaches and great places to visit. This was a very special holiday for my husband and I, and one where I celebrated my 60th Birthday. This was a truly magical holiday for us with so many wonderful memories. There is honestly no other place I would rather have been to celebrate !

Paradise in Antigua
We truly enjoyed our time at the Long House - it is a very unique property and beautifully laid out for a group to enjoy the outdoor space together. The pool was amazing when it was warm out during the day. It is only 15 minutes from a lovely beach - Long Bay and Mama Pizza was really good for lunch. It was always cool and breezy and not at all buggy. We cooked most nights after a very expensive shopping trip to Epicurious in St Johns! Because we arrived later than expected Mossy picked up some groceries for us to start us off which was very lovely. We highly recommend the new restaurant Rakuni, and also loved Island Fusion Cafe and The Fox House in Jolly harbor. Also recommend Gaddaboat for a sailing charter. We also loved the Stingray and Tortoise Island tour and that was close by. You must have a 4 wheel drive car and expect terrible roads and a lot of driving to get anywhere - that was the only downside but well worth it to enjoy the lovely views and space.

The Long House
Thanks to Mossy, Nick, Mercedes, Navi (who hooked us up with live lobsters and showed us how to cook them) for making it a very enjoyable and memorable trip. The villa has all the appointments we needed, and views for miles. Dr. Benjamin Bridge was able to send a mobile nurse to Covid test us at the house the day before our return, which made that whole process extremely easy too. The weather is pretty constantly perfect and breezy, so with fans we didn’t miss AC. Do take note you’re living in a very open space, so keep your counters clean and food locked away, or birds (or other animals) will go after it. We grilled most days, which was a great option. You will need a car, though, as trips to the store or anywhere else will require it.
