About this property

Luxury 5-Bedroom Villa with Oceanview Infinity Pool & Spectacular Sunsets

In the Old Road community in Antigua, you'll find two villas that are perfect for any kind of getaway. Between them sits a stunning infinity edge pool. You can pick either Cades Reef on the west side or Fairfield on the east side (this listing is for Fairfield), whether you're staying a few nights or enjoying a longer family vacation.

Inside these villas, there are five king-size beds spread out in separate bedrooms. Everyone gets their own space, and each room has air conditioning to keep things comfy. Plus, every bedroom has its own private balcony. For some extra relaxation, the master bathrooms are fitted with hot tubs. Downstairs, you'll find spacious kitchens where you can cook up your favorite meals. And if you want a break from cooking, we can set you up with a private chef. Outside, a spectacular view of the Caribbean Sea is available to visitors to clear up almost any thought that is weighing on you.

If the beach is on your agenda, Morris Bay is just a 15-minute walk or a quick 3-minute drive away. And if you're up for a change of scenery, Turner's Beach in Johnson's Point is a short 15-minute drive down the road.

Need some extras? We've got you covered with services like personal chefs, car rentals, drivers, and massages. Just let us know what you need, and we'll make it happen.

The rates listed are for each villa separately, so reach out if you have any questions about booking both together.

We had a great time at Fort Shelley. The staff was amazing. One night, we had a special meal prepared by the staff. They did a great job. House very clean. The view from the house and pool were incredible.

Awesome Place to Stay

I'm not sure if I will be able to accurately state how incredible the villa and the family that hosts this villa are. From the great communication and service provided to our family to the breadth taking views, our trip was made enjoyable by staying here. The hosts made our transition from the airport to the villa smooth. The ladies in our group had a spa day on site that was arranged by the hosts. It was well worth setting this up. If you are looking for a great place to stay on Antigua, this is it. There are many places to eat near by and the beaches are great. By far one of our top places we have stayed at. Highly recommended!

Spectacular Views

My family and I stayed at the villa and had the most wonderful vacation yet. Andrez and Nair were so helpful and accommodating! They were able to put us in touch with a driver, Shastri, whom we had throughout the week. He was wonderful and such a pleasure to get to know. He was so punctual and always made himself available around our schedule. The villa is situated way up on a hill and the views are incredible. As others have said, the pictures don’t do it justice. The view never got old! It was hard to leave when the car came to take us to the airport. The location is about 15 minutes from Jolly Harbour, where a couple of our excursions left from. We were about a 30 minute drive from English Harbour, where we also went a couple of times. Shastri gave us many suggestions on local beaches and restaurants and my entire family truly enjoyed every recommendation. It was such a wonderful vacation. We will definitely consider going back, maybe with a group and rent out both villas. Thank you Andrez and Nair.

Perfect location to explore Antigua

Words cannot begin to express how happy we were with our stay at Fort Shelley! This was our family's first trip to the island and we spent New Year's week exploring and enjoying as much as we could. The villa's location midway between Jolly Beach and English Harbor was perfect - there were lots of restaurants and groceries within easy driving distance.The house was clean and well equipped. The views are incredible - especially the sunset. The infinity pool is AMAZING. In fact, that is the only issue I have with the property - it was so nice it was REALLY hard to find the motivation to leave for our planned activities. :-) Our hosts were excellent and ensured that we had everything we needed during our trip. They also saved the day when I left our passports behind - making sure we got them in time to make our flight back home. I have never experienced such service and friendliness - thank you Andrez and Nair!!I have already recommended this property to several friends and family members and cannot wait for an excuse to return!

Gorgeous view!

Beautiful view! The pool is absolutely exquisite as is the view from every bedroom's balcony. House is not very well stocked if you plan to cook at all, but lots of good cheap food to be had nearby to eat home cooked food from outside. Hosts were incredibly kind, flexible, and responsive.

Amazing Birthday Week!

Pictures do not do these villas justice! The views are magnificent! The villas are huge & roomy. BUT…beyond the beauty of the space & views, the service was WONDERFUL! From Andrez, his dad & brother to the BEST COOKS…Ms. Heather, Adria & Paula. The food was magnificent! We were taken care so well! Love it!!!

Spectacular! Better than the pics!

This property is spectacular! Better than the pics. I rented both villas over '23/'24 New Years for my wife's 50th birthday celebration. We had a group of 15 adults and everyone had a fantastic time. A highlight was the 5-piece steel/pan drum band the hosts helped us arrange for sunset b-day at the pool. 1) The view is amazing. Sunsets (and sunrises) are incredible. 2) The Roberts (Andrez, Nair and family) are extremely friendly and helpful. 3) The house is spacious, comfortable and clean. The master bedroom in each villa is massive. Every room has an ocean view. 4) Chef-prepared meals can be arranged, but we chose to eat most meals out. The hosts were extremely helpful in stocking the house with basics (breakfast, drinks, etc). 5) The location is great and convenient. There is 1 nice beach within a short walk, but we chose to explore different beaches and areas on the island each day. Many great beaches within a 10-15 min drive. We used Craig Lake's 'Get There' cab service (He could accommodate all of us in 1 van) We rented 1 car, too, which the hosts arranged for us. 8) Shirley Heights is 30-40 min away and is well worth the trip for the BBQ/Steel Drums on Thurs or Sun!! 9) A very popular snorkeling spot (Cade's Reef) is directly offshore from the house. It's too far to swim, but you can book trips from nearby. We rented a catamaran out of Jolly Harbor. I would absolutely stay here again!! (Others in our group are already planning it.)

Wow - just wow!

This was one amazing stay. First of all, after our booking, communication before our visit with the Roberts family was prompt, friendly and helpful. When we arrived, there was a welcoming committee who welcomed us like royalty! Mrs. Roberts even made us a rum cake that was amazing. This property is perched up on the hillside on the southwestern side of the island with a simply breathtaking 180 degree view of the Caribbean ocean and Cades Reef just off shore. The infinity edge pool is simply awesome and we spend much time there. The property itself is like driving up to a castle. It is a newer home protected by a stone wall all around and a security gate. We felt so safe and sound all the time. The home itself is huge, just so much space so sprawl out and enjoy friends and family. With 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, all with air conditioning and walk in showers by the way, we had plenty of room for our group. Every room has its own balcony with great views. A soft trade wind is almost always present and welcomed. But, the biggest selling point of this property isn't the property itself - it's the family that owns the property who are local and live just down the street. They are so helpful, go out of their way at the drop of the hat to assist any and all needs and are genuine in everything they do to make your stay amazing. We were lucky enough to have many interactions with Nair and Andrez. They helped us secure our required USA covid tests at the house so we could return home. We loved the opportunity to share a meal and drinks with Nair one night. He shared so much information about Antigua with us. And, after our departing flight was canceled by American Airlines, they took us right back in when the airline was unable to secure rooms for stranded passengers. If you get the chance to stay here, do it. You will have a stay that will leave you with friends and memories for a lifetime. Thank you Roberts family!

Picturesque Views

This property’s design is amazing; it is positioned so that you get beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea from every room. The Villas are located up the hill from the main road with a paved drive way, therefore, access by vehicle was smooth. The double security gates that enclose the property were wide enough to accommodate our tour bus and the circular driveway was large enough for the bus to make a full turn comfortably. The private setting was ideal, we rented both villas. (You can rent one at a time if you have a smaller group) My family and friends enjoyed being away from the crowds of the larger, noisy, impersonal, resorts. We were able to be festive without worrying about disturbing neighbors. Although we were a large group we never felt cramped. The two main buildings are connected by a beautifully landscaped tropical garden walkway, but are far enough apart that if you only rent one villa it would still feel private. Next time I may take walkie-talkies to communicate with people in the other Villa, because even though wifi is included, the service was inconsistent and my cellular service was international so I was trying to avoid using it. The infinity edge pool had umbrellas for shade, sun lounges for those who didn’t want shade; as well as, sitting chairs and tables for pool side card games and snacks. We spent much time there in the day and at night playing music and enjoying the deck. Near the pool deck is an outdoor shower which was helpful for washing sand off when you return from the beach, we didn’t want to track it into the Villas. The villas high ceilings kept the us cool when the doors & windows were open so we could enjoy the Caribbean breeze; but we also had the option of using the AC if we wanted. The common areas were laid out so well that the loud sounds of laughter from our late night game night didn’t disturb the group members that went to bed earlier. These villas were really a great space for bonding & making memories. Mrs. Roberts even made us a homemade rum cake that tasted spectacular!!! This very personal touch was another reason we were happy booking with a local family. There was a private chef option, but our group chose to visit Ojs Beach Bar, Miracles Restaurant, Turner’s Beach Bar, Al Porto’s for Pizza, Dennis Restaurant, and Aunty Carvelle’s at Darkwood Beach because they we all so close by. Overall we had a great stay. Thumbs up.

Why they chose this property

Fort Shelley Villas has the perfect combination of tranquility and awe-inspiring views.

Guests will be on the southwestern side of the island in a remote community away from the city, making you free from the typical day-to-day busyness of local life in Antigua. Additionally, a few of the most coveted beaches on the island will be within a 15-minute drive and the elevation at Fort Shelley exposes guests to cool breezes off the Caribbean Sea.

The pictures do not live up to the experience of walking out onto the pool's deck and gazing into the horizon. It is something that must be witnessed first-hand. Spending only a few days here will undoubtedly relax and unwind you from the most hectic lifestyles.

What makes this property unique

- Family owned
- Elevated view of the Caribbean Sea
- View of Montserrat's volcano
