This house is a 1 minute stroll downhill to Galleon Beach. My family and I snorkeled, swam, and kayaked here. Everyday we saw sting Ray's, sea turtles, and various other colorful fish. There is also a private beach hut with chairs and a palapa for guests of Byam house which was a plus. At night the beach was perfect to walk down and star gaze. It's also a close 8 10 minute drive into Nelson's dockyard. The overall layout of the house was amazing with great views of english harbour and perfectly private,clean, and spacious rooms. The house keeper Miriam absolutely made our stay so much more enjoyable. She recommended things to do and any other island info we needed. Our family of 7 really enjoyed our conversations with her daily. pigeon beach is an amazing 10 minute drive away with really calm waters perfect for floating,families, and picnics with palapas. Also Jim was quickly responsive to any questions I had and I had alot.Our wifi went out twice and it was fixed within the hour. When your here you want wont wifi very much anyways. The views at anytime time of day will make you feel completely removed from your life back at home.This was a delightful vacation and we could not have asked for a better location.

Our stay at Byam House has been everything we wanted from a Caribbean get away. The layout of the house is great for people holidaying as a group. Everything you need is here and Miriam is an absolute treasure providing advice on everything local. The English Harbour area is great and we particularly liked Nelson's Dockyard.

We recently returned from our stay at Byam House. There were 8 of us & we had a wonderful time! We loved the location, only a 2 minute walk to the beach. The view from the pool & upper deck was breathtaking! We loved watching the sailboats, catamarans & yachts anchored at Galleon Beach or coming & going from Nelson Dockyard. All the bedrooms had a beautiful view of the beach. The kitchen was well equipped. The housekeeper, Miriam was a real gem. Just a lovely lady. She offered advice when asked about restaurants, where to get groceries & general knowledge about the island. We used the free water taxi frequently to go to Nelson Dockyard. What a great service! Be sure to visit Shirley Heights. We hiked up there in the day time to check out the view. Don't forget your camera. The view from up there is amazing! Also the barbeque & entertainment on Sunday nights there is a lot of fun. The sunset should not be missed. Our favourite beach bar, The Cheeky Marlin has great strawberry daiquiris. Jim Prentice was wonderful to deal with. He promptly answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this house.

This was, by far, the best tropical vacation getaway. The Byam House is absolutely gorgeous, with just the right amount of elegance and still maintaining a lot of charm and Caribbean feel. Now that we are back home, I can't get that incredible place with it's perfect location out of my head. We felt very at home and enjoyed the presence of Miriam, the housekeeper, who felt like family. The island itself has endless exploring opportunities and the islanders are warm and friendly, unlike some other islands. I wish I had part ownership of the home, I want to keep returning to it.

Have just returned from a wonderful weeks family holiday to Antigua. 6 of us stayed in Byam house and we never felt on top of one another. The house is something I couldn't even dream up from my desk back in the UK, fully equipped and super clean (I would know I've work in 7 star service). The property immediately felt like home and with in hours the stress I carried from the UK seeped away as I swam in the warm water from the beach at the bottom of the driveway. Loved the island of Antigua and the tourist guides left around the house helped us plan which beach to drink our rum on the next day :) Can not wait to go back to the island and there will be only one place I will stay!

I visited Byam House During Antigua Sailing week and was so impressed I vowed to take my family there in the UK winter. We were not disappointed. we had a wonderful time. The House was well furnished and equipped -very comfortable-in very good condition. and we were looked after so well by Miriam the house keeper. The 4 Bedrooms were air conditioned-had mossy nets all round the beds- and ceiling fans . The veranda with its views was the center of activity. Getting about was easy by water taxi in daylight and road taxi by night, easily arranged by the reception at the Beach Club Resort. We walked the Shirley hts Trails, visited Jolly Hbr- Pigeon Beach- Willoughby bay and dinned in several good local restaurants. Thanks very much- A great Success Byam house is in the best Spot on the Island. Our intention is to return

We spent two woderful weeks at the Byam house. The property is very well kept with an elegant and relaxing tone. The location is superb. The owner Jim is a pleasure to deal with and the housekeeper Miriam was very helpful at all the times. We are planning to return to such a beautiful property.

The idyllic location brought us back to Byam House for the 3rd time in February. We were delighted to find so many improvements to the house. The new nets over the beds are not only practical but make the newly refurbished bedrooms look stunning. It is just a 30 metre stagger to the beach where swimming and turtle spotting provided our entertainment.

Arrived hot and tired from the airport but spirits soared on seeing the pool and all the rooms opening up to breezy sea views. Air conditioning units worked well and surprisingly quietly but the french windows gave plenty of natural air to the bedrooms. Mozzi nets around the beds meant that doors could be left open at night. We found no mozzies (couldnt understand where they'd gone), just a bit of ankle attack in the evenings from noseeums. Highlight of the house for us was the veranda with it's big dining table and separate comfortable seating area - perfect for long evenings of carousing, and the views - this really is the best location in paradise. We walked early mornings around the clifftops and up to Shirley Heights and found some stunning trails, cooling off swimming from the private beach. Loads of restaurants available nearby ranging from economy to grand either a short taxi ride or take the water taxi across to English Harbour. We'll be going back as soon as we can.
