About this villa rental

Sweet House is a Caribbean getaway ideal for relaxing, loaded with amenities and high-quality furnishings for a perfect hassle-free vacation. Located on a very private fenced lot set back from the street, surrounded by gardens, the house has a private child friendly pool with a gate, new A/C throughout, a high quality dishwasher, and washing machine. Perfect location, just minutes away from a grocery store, restaurants, and amazing beaches and sunsets!

The house was recently renovated with a new fully equipped kitchen, updated bathrooms, new windows with insect screening/security glass, new air conditioning units and ceiling fans in each room, WIFI with fiber optic internet (the fastest available on the island) and new high quality bed linens and towels. The house can nicely accommodate up to 8 guests, with a maximum of 6 adults.

The house is very private and secure with a lockable gate at the street and a lockable garden gate at the house entrance. Up to 3 cars can easily be parked in the long driveway.

The gardens will bring peace of mind to parents as young children can play in a totally fenced area set back from the street. There are several varieties of palms on the property - including magical Foxtail Palms (hi-lighted with special night-time lighting) and several varieties of fruit trees including bananas, limes, and lemons.

The terrace offers a high-quality gas barbecue, a kids friendly fenced plunge pool, salt chlorinated, and several new sun loungers. The outdoor covered patio allows a rest away from the sun, a wonderful place for gathering with friends and family, and an area for outside dining with table and chairs.

The interior of the house is un-cluttered, simple, with pleasing spaces and a clean aesthetic with beautiful floor tiles and high-quality, comfortable teak, mahogany, and leather furniture.

The open-space kitchen, living, and dining area and high Caribbean style ceiling provide a relaxing, airy feeling for a perfect holiday spirit.

The kitchen is very nicely equipped with a new microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, utensils, cutting boards, tools, pots and pans, and plenty of dishes and glassware.

The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom while the 2 other bedrooms share the second bathroom. The house is very kid friendly with a child's desk and a few toys and books available in the children's bedroom. The kids' room has recently been equipped with a twin over full bunk bed aside from another twin bed.

All of the beds are furnished with high-thread count linens, pillows, and lightweight duvets. High quality bath and wash towels are provided, as well as plenty of beach towels and sand toys for the kids. An iron, ironing board, and hair dryer are also provided.

Guests have full access to the house, the garden, and the laundry room with a washing machine in the small garage.

Sweet House is ideally situated - only 2 minutes walking distance to one of the main grocery stores and numerous fine restaurants featuring both international and local cuisine, car rental, bars, club, spa, golf course and general shopping, while a further 5 minutes afoot gets you to one of the nicest beaches in Antigua with amazing west-facing sunsets over the splendid turquoise Caribbean sea. Four of the best Antiguan beaches are also within 5 minutes driving distance from the house. The main road is a minute's walk and there are bus services to St John's and other destinations.

The Sweet House is a perfect place to spend an amazing vacation with friends and family, or a romantic getaway with someone special, in a very comfortable and private house.

We wish you a wonderful stay in our Sweet House!

The Sweet House is a registered and certified rental accommodation. It is listed in the ABTA website under the name "Sweet House".

To ensure a comfortable stay for all of our guests, we only accept a maximum of 6 adults and a maximum of 8 total occupants. If there are 7 guests in your booking at least 1 guest must be 8 years old or younger. If there are 8 guests in your booking at least 2 guests must be 8 years old or younger. If occupancy totals are not respected any additional guests will be turned away. This policy is strictly enforced with no exceptions allowed.

In October 2021 the government of Antigua & Barbuda introduced a tourist tax. As per this regulation, all tourists residing in paid accommodations are required to pay $5 USD per night for each guest over the age of 6 years. Regardless of where you stay in Antigua as a tourist (a resort, guest house, Airbnb, etc.) this tax will be due. As a registered guest house in Antigua we are responsible for collecting this tax and submitting a monthly report with taxes due to the government. Since the tax is based on the number of guests and their ages, this charge cannot be added at the time of booking as VRBO does not provide the ability to add this kind of per-occupant levy based on age during the booking process. Shortly after your arrival at the Sweet House we will send you a payment request directly from VRBO for the total tourist tax amount due.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sweet House in Antigua. The home was immaculate, spacious, and beautifully furnished, providing all the comforts of a luxurious getaway. The location was perfect, easy access to pristine beaches and local necessities like a grocery store. The host was exceptionally responsive and accommodating, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a memorable and relaxing vacation in Antigua.

It’s clear that Eva and her local crew take pride in offering a well appointed, comfortable and clean house to enjoy Jolly Beach and surrounding areas. Communication was easy and any questions we had were answered quickly. We appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was (with All-Clad pots and pans) for our light cooking, the comfortable bed and a/c units to keep us cool while in the house. The pool was perfect for refreshing ourselves and hanging out if not going to the beach. The outdoor lighting was a great backdrop for relaxing evening meals. And the location was perfect to visit St. John, nearby beaches and walking to a well provisioned supermarket. We really enjoyed our time at the Sweet House and felt at home there during our stay. Thank you for hosting us!

We had the pleasure to stay at the Sweet House last week and it was fantastic. The villa is so beautiful and clean, tastefully decorated, peaceful and very well located. The owner Eva has been very kind and helpful to answer all of our questions prior to our stay. Our local host Mel has been very helpful as well, thank you for the warm welcoming. Perfect for our family with our little one, we would definitely recommend it to family and friends. We will be back for sure, thank you so much!

I took my son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandchildren for a holiday in antigua. The accommodation were perfect for the 5 of us. Each bedroom was seperate and very quiet. Everything was very clean when we arrived. Our host was in contact on whatsapp ahead of our stay for instructions on how to get there from airport and how to get in. She also met us at the house. We had a rental car. The beach is walkable but having a car we felt was necessary to visit different beaches and get groceries. Store is close for food. The pool was great for kids while we were home. I would stay there again.

There is a lot right about this property. We waited two weeks to write this review to allow our minor complaints to subside. For a young family (up to teen children) this property is perfect, if you don’t want the extravagance of an all inclusive. You are within a reasonable walk to the Jolly Beach resort. Although we prefer the short drive to other beaches further south. You are also within walking distance of several nice restaurants (a little expensive by Canadian standards), and again a short drive to many more. You have a short walk to the Epicurean grocery store and several vendors that I would place beside any small town Canadian grocery store. Our complaints are minor but irritating. We are VRBO clients for the past ten years. Common courtesy is if you consume the last dishwasher pod (for example) , you buy a new box for the next people. The same goes for the laundry detergent, and the tin foil, salt and pepper, and other consumables. By coincidence, we had to buy all of these as it would appear they all ran out just before we arrived. The house is good for children because the furniture is indestructible. Unfortunately, this durability also means not very comfortable. The cushions are very tired. We needed to sit on pillows at the dining table as the wood chairs were hard on the bottom. The pool is a really nice luxury. The photographs in the ad need to be updated as some amenities have succumbed to time, weather and overuse. (The sun shade is long gone) We did not use the air conditioning as the windows provided a beautiful breeze throughout the night. Full disclosure, you are near two busy roads and can hear them early in the morning as people start their day. Children probably would not notice this. When you go to Antigua, you go to visit the island and all it has to offer. You do not go to stay in the house. As such, this house is perfect for families who want to save a bit of money and still visit one of the best islands in the Caribbean.

We enjoyed our vaction because we had no problems with the house. Only real issue is the two sliders that you enter have broken locks, one on the outside and the other on the inside.
