Wonderful trip in a dream setting! I stayed at the Guava apartments for four nights and it was the most memorable experience ever. Gerald, his dad and mom made sure I had everything to be comfortable. The apartment was very clean, and spacious, the view on the patio was spectacular, I had the opportunity to bask back and enjoy the ocean view as well as the garden view which was perfect. I literally cried on the last day because I didn't want to leave all because of the warm, friendly greetings from people. I will definitely return and I urge others to please try this apartments it is worth it. Thank you so much to you Gerald, as well as your mom and dad for making this trip extra special. See you soon!

I stayed for 10 days on my holiday. The ambience was exceptional. It is operated by a lovely family and has a great location. The property was well maintained and was extremely clean. They constantly ensured that we were okay with everything. They even invited us to a gathering they were hosting, but we were unable to attend. The view was extremely beautiful. The host also has a car rental service. Their is a complex only 10 mins walk away, which also has a gym.

La Bellevue Benjamins is situated on a hill over looking the sea. Upon entering the compound you are met with tropical plants and trees well manicured and laid out throughout the grounds. I felt like I was walking through a botanical gardens. Then I enter my room aptly called the Lime Room. The word lime in Trinidad vernacular holds a whole lot of currency for a good hang out. My room felt like a hotel room in the manner of which your towels were all wrapped in a plastic bag and neatly placed on the bed. The room is impeccable and tastefully decorated. Modern amenities and lighting fixtures. Who gets an air fryer as part of their kitchen appliances? This is a five star Hotel treatment at an air bnb facility. Can't say no to a return to this location at all. Then there is the awesome host Gerard who is hospitality personified. Nothing is too big or too small to respond to. Thank you brother. You made me feel very special. Thank you!

This accommodation was great for us. We felt very safe and were very much welcomed. Nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely recommend this property and host.

Wonderful place to stay. Modern design and clean, well appointed for the rather small size of the room (fyi the fridge can be found in the closet!) but as a solo traveller it was perfect. Plus you won't stay much in the room anyway, I highly suggest renting a car to explore the beautiful beaches of Antigua and parking is widely available on property. I absolutely loved the perfectly manicured garden and beautiful views of the sea and sunsets, one of a kind experience. I also had the pleasure to meet Gerard and his parents, very kind people and he showed me around the property, which was appreciated. A great place to stay and I highly recommend!

This was easily one of, if not the best, stays I've had in my 7 years using Airbnb. Gerard and his family were immediately welcoming and helped to make sure that as a solo traveler, I had plenty of opportunities to socialize, find things to do in the area and have this month long stay feel like a home away from home. The residence is cozy & situated on top of a hill so that you've got endless views of the ocean and their well-kept large garden. It's nearby everything you'd need in terms of restaurants, beaches, grocery stores, a cinema, etc. I'd recommend if staying for a longer period of time renting an electric scooter through EV Rentals in Jolly Harbor because it's a fantastic way to see the island and gets you everywhere you need to go (without any gas)! Waking up every morning to enjoy yoga and breakfast on the patio to the sounds of birds & the ocean was my favorite. Very thankful to have left Antigua with a many great new friends, Gerard, Gerry & Sonia included!!!

An exquisitely prepared studio apartment space, ideal for two people. Lots of thought has gone into the supply of core equipment and resources to ensure our experience at the apartment was as enjoyable as possible. The hosts not only welcome their guests but also lay on all essential and desirable amenities and suitably modern equipment accessories and resources that meet all your needs for a perfect stay with a beautiful island sea view.

This has to be one of the better equipped and clean places I have stayed. The location is somewhat hard to find if you’re new to Antigua, and a 4x4 vehicle will make your life easier, but besides that, you can see they put a lot of effort in having a cozy and funcional place to compensate for the size. I highly recommend it.

Our stay by Gerard’s place was just the most awesome experience. The place was exactly as advertised and even better. My early morning sit downs on the porch with the sound of birds, the calming effect of the garden and the ocean in the background was just amazing. The apartment is clean and modern and very well designed. Gerard was present when needed but was totally out of our way. Really grateful for the experience.

Well what an experience! Staying at Gerard's place in Crosbies was the perfect stay for my friend and i. Welcomed with open arms, great knowledge of Antigua and a bright new renovation, Gerard made the stay feel warm, safe and most of all enjoyable. The room we were allocated was spotless, clean sheets, perfect sized and structured kitchette, very well thought out and had the most incredible view i have ever seen. Peaceful and serene, this is the perfect place for a getaway and a place to work remotely. Gerard insured there was strong WIFI as a remote worker this is very important for me. I would definitely encourage any remote workers around the world to stay if you like peace and quiet. Whilst quiet, there are lots to do around the area as well as the rest of Antigua which Gerard was very knowledgable about, shared ideas, events and ways to navigate the island. I would revisit in a heart beat. Such a wonderful place, lovely host/s and and an experience i am looking forward to again!

Where to even begin regarding our stay with Gerard. We knew from the get go that we made a great decision staying here—we were immediately greeted by an eager, smiling face. Gerard was quick to show us around the property, pointing out amenities, and answering any questions. His place was newly remodeled in 2021 and was clean as a whistle. Since there were two of us we chose to add a twin bed to his studio. The studio had more than we needed for a ten day stay. The kitchen included a full-size fridge, a dual hot pad, toaster, toaster oven, rice cooker, coffee maker, and all utensils, pots, and pans to make food there (would recommend if you want to keep the cost of your vacation down.) The bathroom was super clean with plenty of space to get around. Coming home to shower everyday was a god send. The location is beautifully situated in Crosbies. As kiteboarders it a less than ten minute commute to the main kite beach, Jabberwock. Nearby there are plenty of beaches, restaurants, markets, etc. to chose from. And Gerard is a huge help, making sure you find all the hidden gems around. Additionally, being situated 15 minutes from the airport was a bonus. We cannot express how amazing Gerard was as a host. Him and family are a very welcoming group. Gerard is quick to answer any questions you might have regarding your travels and the area. Their presence added so much value to our stay. We learned a lot about Antigua and it’s culture thanks to Gerard.

We had a great holiday in Antigua. Our host was very welcoming and very helpful whenever we needed assistance during our stay. The view from the property overlooking the Caribbean is amazing. The property is modern and spotlessly clean. Would thoroughly recommend to fellow travellers and would happily stay again.
