Location
Vanora Villa is situated on a beachfront / waterfront property in a very private location at Brown's Bay. This bay is located on Antigua's east coast and is part of Nonsuch Bay. The villa is just footsteps away from the water. Contrary to what one would expect from the Atlantic side of the island, the water at Brown's Bay is calm, as it is protected from the open sea by a reef
For this reason swimming and kayaking are good and safe in this bay, and also off-shore snorkeling is good fun..

About Brown's Bay and the East coast in general:
Antigua's east coast is the unknown gem of the island. It's the more quiet part of Antigua, unspoiled, idyllic and lesser developed.
Lesser developed doesn't mean lower quality. On the contrary: Several Celebrities have chosen this part of the island for their holiday homes. The prestigious residential Mill Reef Club is located on the east coast. Membership at Mill Reef Club cannot be obtained with money - membership is by invitation only!
Also the beaches are not of lower quality either. Just think of Half Moon Bay, which was voted one of the world's Top 10 Beaches by the US Travel Channel.
And - last but not least - another famous "institution" in Antigua: Harmony Hall. This superb Italian restaurant with art gallery, located on an old Sugar Plantation property is a MUST-see, when visiting Antigua. And as you know, all good things come in small numbers, and therefore Harmony Hall (regretfully) is only open during the winter season, and this only for lunches.
Insider-Tip:
Restaurant guests at Harmony Hall can enjoy a complimentary water taxi ride to close-by uninhabited Green Island for a few hours of swimming, snorkeling, exploring and basking in the sun.

"Busy" English Harbour with its Yachting Community, bars, restaurants, shops, etc. is approx. a 30 minutes drive away.

Villa walkthrough
Vanora Villa is perfect for a group of friends or a family with children of any age, who are looking for a quality and secure seaside vacation home in a private and tranquil location, which is off the beaten track. If you like to take maximum advantage of your holiday villa, relax by the pool or seaside, and don't wish to go out for meals every single day, then this villa is certainly a very good option for you.

Vanora Villa was built on one level and offers several verandahs and decks, so that you can be in or out of the sun and in or out of the sea breeze, whatever suits you best. All 3 bedrooms are air-conditioned, enjoy ocean views and have direct access to the sundeck with its private Pool.

The kitchen has been fully equipped with modern appliances including a dishwasher. The kitchen's serving hatch with breakfast bar opens up to the living room / TV lounge. Adjoining to the TV lounge you have your ocean view, indoor dining room with your private drinks bar.

For outdoor dining there is a large covered verandah, which faces the tropical garden and is being accessed from the
kitchen / living area. For outdoor entertaining you may choose between the covered ocean view verandah or the seating area on the sundeck. We don't know, whether Antigua really has 365 beaches, meaning 1 beach for every day of the year, but Vanora Villa surely has enough verandahs / decks for (almost) every member of your group....

Harmony Hall (open during winter season), one of the best restaurants on the island is within walking distance
and provides a complementary water taxi for its guests to close-by Green Island for a beautiful day of swimming,
snorkeling and basking in the sun.

Just a 5 min drive away located is the Nonsuch Bay Resort. Enjoy a lunch or dinner at The Club House Restaurant.
Or go sailing or kite surfing within the protected bay. Sailing and kite surfing are lessons available!

Good to know !
The waters at Brown's Bay are sheltered, and therefore you will find sea grass beds in the shallow parts. While it's just like normal grass, but under water, guests who are not familiar with sea grass might prefer to wear swim shoes.
Sea grass plays a very important role in the food chain, as for example fish and turtles do feed on it.

   
Reviews
 
Dale H. the villa was great.
   
Kevin G. we had a great time, and many thanks for your assistance overall

It is what we were looking for in terms of private water frontage. Wow.
Vanora Villa offers a lovely setting, complete with sailboats, yachts and pristine water views. 
Additionally, the 10 minute drive to Half Moon Bay beach was delightful.  Please mention this spot to future renters.  We went on several occasions for the white sand and spectacular bluff views. A small store for convenience items was only a few minutes away, too.
We enjoyed Falmouth and English Harbor area, beautiful, historic. 
The size of the home was perfect for our family of 5, offering comfort and space for all of us.   
I would also like to thank you for the arrangement of services from Calvin Francis and his cooking crew.  We hired them for an additional night of dining, for a total of 6  dinners.  It was well worth the cost, so that we did not have to drive in the dark! The food was great for both adults and kids. 
I would recommend the home to privacy-seeking families, like ourselves. We were away from the bustle of the other side of the island. It was just as described and perfect for us.  It is a glorious waterfront property which would be wonderful to own!   
You have a lovely island, with welcoming and friendly people.  We would love to visit again someday.

Many, many thanks Eva. It certainly made the first evening much easier having the groceries already there since the flight was delayed by nearly 4 hours!
Great property, wonderful location; would love to return sometime soon!
