The only issue we had was there was air conditioning in the bedrooms, but not in the kitchen/ diningroom, which was where we spent most of our time. We had to open the windows but there was no cross ventilation and is was hot, especially when using the stove.
All in all, a great place to stay!

Ms. Jamilia was exceptional and responsive all the time. Her technology in the home scared me but I warmed up to it. She was gracious even with my faux pas.
I will steal ideas for my own home renovation.
Top notch! Definitely another stay in full order with a longer time so that I can truly enjoy the kitchen and the refreshing home.
Admittedly white is boring for me but I appreciated this.
Very sophisticated without feeling that you can not touch anything.
Even if it’s a business stay as it was for me or family stay, Idyllic truly lives up to its name.
Thank you Ms. Jamilia for sharing this exquisite property.
June 19, 2024My siblings along with our spouses came to visit our family and participate in the Carnival festivities. Jamila’s place did not disappoint. The cleanliness of the Air BnB was pristine.... read more I usually am the one to Lysol everything and wipe surfaces when I stay at hotels/airbnb, however I didn’t feel the need to do so here. That’s an idea of how clean Jamila’s place was. Jamila was very accommodating, allowing us to drop our bags at the property before check in. Although there was a slight hiccup with the complimentary items, Jamila rectified the issue swiftly and apologized for the inconvenience. The amenities and attention to detail in the various supplies provided around the home made us feel at home. This was a truly amazing property. I would definitely return on our next visit to Antigua.

My family’s recent sojourn at Idyllic Escape, was certainly a delightful and refreshing experience! The safe and quiet neighbourhood, clean surroundings with comfortable outdoor seating, play areas topped... read more with the variety of fresh, delicious fruits from the trees enhanced our stay.
Its interior white theme was a superb choice and promoted a sense of tranquility that supported our quest to temporarily obliterate the stresses of daily life. Your theme also complimented the spacious bedrooms as well as the comfortable living room. The kitchen/dining areas were adequately equipped and was the place of choice for my family conversations and for enjoying family meals, especially breakfast.
As you refine and enhance guests experience, I suggest you add blinds to the bedroom windows so that one can sleep in late undisturbed by the early rising sun.
Idyllic Escape is a marvelous rejuvenating getaway nestled in a peaceful and adorable environment.
