A private pool villa on Antigua's west coast
Relax at Sweet House, a 3-bedroom private villa with a pool and outdoor living areas set within lush, shaded gardens, close to Jolly Beach and Jolly Harbour with easy access to beaches, dining, groceries, and the marina.
Dive right in
One of the few private plunge pools in the neighborhood — yours for the whole stay, no sharing a deck.
Self check-in
Arrive on your own schedule and let yourself in with the lockbox — no waiting around after a long flight.
Unbeatable location
A two-minute walk to groceries, restaurants and the marina, and a five-minute stroll to the beach. 100% of guests in the past 4 years gave this location a 5-star rating.

Book direct and neither applies, plus returning guests get a discount over the Vrbo and Airbnb nightly rates.
A quiet garden retreat, made for slow mornings
Sweet House is a private, landscaped villa just outside the gates of Jolly Harbour — secure, secluded, and built for families, couples, or small groups after a relaxed Caribbean pace.
Outdoor living is the whole point
The private terrace centers on a plunge pool surrounded by palms and tropical garden, with a gas barbecue for evening cookouts and a large covered patio — ceiling fans included — for shaded lounging any time of day.
An outdoor shower tucked among the palms is the perfect way to rinse off after the beach. Most guests end up spending more time out here than in.
- Private plunge pool & sun deck
- Covered patio with ceiling fans
- Gas barbecue & outdoor shower
Dinner under the palms
As the sun goes down, the covered patio table becomes the heart of the evening — string lights, candles, and the palms lit up around the pool deck. It's a small touch, but it's the one guests bring up again and again.
From morning coffee to breath-taking sunsets and evenings under the stars.
Recently renovated, thoughtfully equipped
Inside, clean lines, teak and mahogany furnishings, leather seating, and high Caribbean-style ceilings open onto a bright kitchen, living and dining space.
The kitchen is set up for real cooking — a Miele dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, blender, toaster, All-Clad pots and pans, and plenty of dishware for a full house.
- Air conditioning & ceiling fans in every room
- Fiber-optic Wi-Fi — the fastest on the island
- Laundry room with washing machine

We've enjoyed vacationing in Antigua for over 15 years, with dozens of visits to this most perfect of tropical islands, and stayed as guests in the Sweet House several times. We loved everything about the house so much that we purchased it as our special vacation spot for our family and friends! We live in Maine and spend several wonderful weeks each year at the Sweet House.
