Garden Apartment with large Swimming Pool
About this apartment rental
A lovely apartment close to Jolly Harbour and Jolly Beach. Enjoy inside/outside living with the spacious, private and covered veranda which is surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The living room includes a well-equipped kitchen with dining area and plenty of space for relaxing in the lounge, opening on to the secluded veranda from which you can stroll out directly into the gardens and to the pool. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning throughout. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, built in wardrobes and direct access to the veranda. There is also a comfortable twin bedroom and another full shower room. The apartment is serviced with a smart television and internet connection, a cot and highchair for little ones, full insect mesh on all the windows, and a charcoal BBQ for outside living. The large private pool and secluded gardens are shared by just the 4 apartments in this handsome, colonial style property, set back on a private road with off street parking. We are a leisurely 7-minute stroll down a country lane to the local supermarket, restaurants and shops of Jolly Harbour, and a further 7-minute stroll to the stunning Jolly Beach, where there is a host of water sports and activities. Hamilton House is part of Hamilton Estate, a private road of 3 villas, with the house of 4 apartments at the back. The beauty of the location is that you do not need a car because Jolly Harbour is a leisurely 7-minute stroll down a quiet lane which is almost opposite, and it contains a very well-equipped supermarket and an impressive range of shops and good quality restaurants. You go through Jolly Harbour to get to Jolly Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with calm turquoise waters and soft powdery sand. At Jolly Beach you can get involved in all sorts of water sports and excursions, or simply find a quiet spot at the end of the beach. Valley Church Beach is also walking distance and is a bit more laid back.

Hamilton Estate - Apartment 3
I had a wonderful time staying at the Hamilton Estate and so did my friends and family. However, the only drawback for me was not having a working microwave and the washing machine working for when I got there. My very first stay at Hamilton Estate three years ago everything was readily available and working, and I guess I was looking forward to the same convenience. This time around I stayed in Apartment 3 and it's was not until the fourth day of my stay I got a working microwave; throughout my entire stay there I had no washing machine it was a very Big inconvenience for me a family of four. Other than that, I had a wonderful stay and will come back again and I will also tell my friends, family and co-workers about Hamilton Estate is the place to stay when visiting Antigua.

Hamilton House is a 4 apartment (2 up 2 down) rental accommodation we had apt 4 on the ground floor. The pool is a good size to be shared with other 3 apartments. Large kitchen/dining/living room with 2 average sized bedrooms one with en-suite. Best part is the large deck, where we spent most of our time, relaxing, eating & bbq’ing. Less than 1/2 mile walk to Valley Church Beach one of our favorites & a similar distance to Jolly Harbour with shops, restaurants & another great beach.
The couple of minor issues that came up were swiftly dealt with so as not to detract from a great week. We will definitely return to Antigua & stay @ Hamilton House again if it is available. Thanks to Jenny for taking care of us.

We stayed in apt no’4 - downstairs. It was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious, spotless, very well equipped, with a shady veranda overlooking the garden. The lovely pool was steps away from our door.
Jenny arranged our transport from and to the airport and although our flight arrived 4 hours late, Cosmore, the driver was right there to meet us at Arrivals and let us into the apartment. Jenny (who was very friendly and helpful) had hoped to be at the apartment, but had another meeting which clashed with our late arrival. Even so, she rang us to make sure everything was ok and came over to see us in the morning.
There is a well stocked (if rather pricey) supermarket 10-15 minutes stroll away atJolly Harbour and four beautiful beaches within 2 miles. (Our favourite being Valley Church beach which took us about 15 minutes to walk to.) We had thought of hiring a car to explore further afield, but decided in the end not to bother as we were enjoying ourselves so much just wondering around locally.
Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming - we had a fantastic week and can’t wait to go back!

Sadly the apartment was not very clean, when you walked across the floor your bare feet were always dirty. The plumbing in the kitchen and separate bathroom was poor, very little flow on the kitchen tap and virtually non existent in the bathroom sink. No problem with the sink in the on suite, hence the 3 star rating.

Wonderful home from home in the Caribbean
This apartment is in a fantastic location, close to Jolly Harbour with its supermarket, shops and restaurants, and a few minutes by car or a short walk to some of the best beaches on the island. The apartment is very comfortable, the gardens are attractive and the pool proved wonderful after a glorious day on the beach. Jenny who looks after the guests really could not do more to make our holiday enjoyable. The Sugar Ridge Resort next door it is perfect for sipping your cocktails whilst watching the sun go down over Jolly Harbour. A lovely holiday enjoyed by all the family we would definitely recommend Hamilton House, and we are sure to return in the not too distant future!

This was our 7th visit to Antigua, but the first time at the end of season. The villas we usually book were too expensive, but the cost here was very reasonable. The booking experience was extremely straightforward and our host, Jenny, was very helpful.
Hamilton House Apartment 4 is on the ground floor of a large property with 3 others. The garden is well maintained, with a full-size outdoor pool with a sundeck, canopy and loungers. The accommodation is spacious, fully equipped and relatively clean. There are air conditioning units in each room, fast internet, cable TV, as well as a large cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. These apartments are 10 years old, but most of the fixtures fittings and appliances are near their end of life, with signs of age, wear-and-tear and corrosion. Some parts would benefit from a deep clean, but the overall standard was perfectly acceptable and clean bedding and towels are provided. There is no backup generator, but we only had one short power cut during two weeks. There is also an outdoor veranda and barbecue area exclusive to the apartment.
It is very close to the Jolly Harbour, with a small, well stocked Epicurean supermarket. However we still did our main shopping at the Epicurean near St Johns, as it is much bigger. There are several very lovely beaches nearby, such Valley Church beach, and Coco beach with its excellent snorkelling. There are many more fantastic beaches just slightly further afield, such as Darkwood, Deep Bay and Hawskbill. There are plenty of restaurants, although we did not try any of them because one of my family suffers from serious food allergies.
During our stay, we also hired a 19ft self drive motorboat from Paradise Boats for a day and we had a fantastic time visiting Five islands, Cades reef, Hermitage beach and Rendevous Bay. We were saw a shark, turtle and sting ray during this trip, as well as plenty of beautiful fish! It is best to have some previous motor boat experience though, as it was choppy in some places the day we went, plus the reef is extremely shallow.
At this time of year, the weather was a wetter and cloudier than earlier in the year. However it was still lovely with plenty of warm sunshine on many days. The sea water was particularly warm, the hottest we remember it!
If you are looking for good value, well equipped, spacious self-catering accommodation set in one of the best locations on the island, then Hamilton House Apartments are an ideal choice.

A great location and ideal setup
We booked this appt as a base for a week in the sun watching the cricket. Having looked at many of the properties in the Jolly Harbour we liked the look of Hamilton House. The location is a short walk from the harbour location, but there are a few restaurants and bars across the road and on the way to the main resort. Booking the villa was painless and also included collection and drop off for the airport. We continued to use the transport service (the local taxi driver) for our trips to the cricket and this was made so easy by the owners leaving a local payg mobile so we easy access to the mamangement company and the taxi driver. Overall a great find for us and we'll look to return for the cricket in two years time

Excellent and as described.
Most enjoyable. Probably our best holiday ever. Close to beaches, supermarket and restaurants. Having a car proved to be an excellent decision as if one beach was crowded we drove to another. All in all a wonderful holiday with outstanding customer service.

Excellent location and good value
It was probably the busiest we have found Antigua but that was not a bad thing. The island was buzzing. We noticed a huge change at the local beach - Valley Church. What was once a quiet locals' beach has now become a cruise ship stop-off. It did mean we tried more beaches and therefore a car is essential. All the beaches in the local area were good with excellent beach-bar facilities. You must, however, take a trip to Half Moon Bay on the other side of the island - less busy but idyllic.
The apartment was fine, comfortable and well-equipped. You are aware of your neighbours and it obviously does not give the privacy of a detached villa but the pool was quiet and a good option. The apartment was well managed by Jenny who was excellent. She was there to greet and always available to assist. The whole operation was well managed and slick - transfers were spot on. The apartment itself was fully equipped with two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a variety of eateries just two minutes away and the supermarket is a ten-minute walk.
We have stayed in hotels in Antigua in the intervening years but on balance this arrangement worked well. I tried to work out how the two compare in terms of cost. Food was definitely more expensive and Brexit has not helped the UK holiday market but a self-managing apartment was pretty much on a par with a lower end all-inclusive. The car hire - which is essential - gives a more varied itinerary and I think this will be our way to go in the future. You will not be disappointed and there is a good range of accommodation options in the portfolio.

Beautiful aparment
Could not fault this apartment, great position close to supermarket and restaurants and 10 mins walk to 'picture postcard' beach.
The apartment was well equipped with everything a family of four would need for a holiday, the pool and gardens were well maintained and Jenny who looks after the guests really could not do more to make your holiday enjoyable.
Would recommend Antigua as an Island as the locals are fantastic and the beaches sunning.

Hamilton Apartments were perfect for our family!
Our family of four arrived June 25th, 2016 to begin our vacation for 14 days! We got picked up at the airport and driven to Hamilton Estates. It was exactly as the picture displayed it. The apartment was nice and clean when we arrived and half way through our holiday, housecleaning came in and changed all the sheets and towels. The towels were hanging dry on the line. I did laundry as I like things to be clean so I had washed some towels earlier in the week. The apartment had all the comforts of home...wifi, TV, air conditioners in each room, large ceiling fans, nice fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and plenty of pots and pans. My only complaint was that there weren't proper utensils or plastic storage containers. I almost bought a can opener as the one there isn't working.
The pool was nice and clean! We had the entire complex to ourselves for a week and a half. Being that it was July, there weren't as many guests. I am sure it is not always like that. The area was very quiet and felt safe. We didn't rent a car until three days before we left. We are a very active family so walking didn't bother us. We walked to Jolly Beach, Valley Church Beach and even home from Ffryes Beach. We walked to get groceries and my husband would carry large bottles of water while we carried the other groceries. Just a note, they have banned all plastic bags on the island so either bring cloth ones or buy them.
The grocery store was about a 5-10 minute walk door to door. If you don't have a car, it is pretty close. The bus is very convenient to each of the beaches and into town. Once we rented a car and drove to the other side of the island, we realized how fortunate we were to be staying in Hamilton Apartments. We really are on the most beautiful side of the island with beautiful beaches.
I would highly recommend Hamilton Apartment #4. I am sure they are all very nice. The furniture was lovely, especially in the master bedroom. The mattresses were VERY comfortable, as were the pillows. You will NOT be disappointed. If I could ask for a few things, it would be better utensils, more plastic storage boxes to keep dry food, can opener, and maybe replace the bathtub or fix the rusted section. Just all minor issues. Very pleased!!!!

Great Location and comfortable accommodation
This apartment is in a fantastic location (particulary in the off season) close to Jolly Harbour with its supermarket & resturants and a few minutes by car or a short walk to the best beaches on the island (Valley Church, turners and ffyes) It was a good value option for us travelling as a family of 4. and was a described on the website having everything you needed ,including some extras ,which are an added bonus like a dishwasher.Booking was quick and easy and having transfers included was great. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We were the only guests there which was lovely. We were a little disappointed with the food at some of the resturants Miracles on the corner was one of the better ones and we had a final meal at Sheer rocks which was more expensive but delicious! Hiring a car is easy they deliver it to the apartment although you don't need one as the bus goes by the end of the drive and walking is easy too!

Quality accommodation in quiet setting
The apartment was comfortable and very well equipped. Nice quiet setting with pool which was perfect for cooling off after a hot day at the cricket. Transfers and introductions were seamless, really top notch accommodation.

Home from home
Hamilton house is well located being close to Jolly Harbour and some beautiful beaches which lie within comfortable walking distance, or local bus journey, though we did hire a car for a few days so that we could see more of the beautiful island. The apartment is very comfortable, the gardens are attractive and the pool is a real bonus after a hard day on the beach!! We had a great week and would stay again without a doubt. Howard is very helpful and efficient during the booking process. Thank you also to Yasmine.

Beautiful, calm and relaxing house
We had a simply wonderful time at Hamilton House. A big, well-kept property with a lovely living area and nice bedrooms - and a great terraced area to eat breakfast on! The pool is lovely and, although shared with the other properties, we often had it to ourselves. Lots of nice places nearby for food and drink. Would definitely recommend getting a car while you're there - although the nearest beaches are a short walk away, it's a bit of a hairy walk down roads without any pavements! Other than that, we had a great time and would love to go back.

Wonderful family friendly vacation
This was our first trip to Antigua and we chose the perfect place to stay! The location cannot be beat. We did rent a car and got to drive to a different beach every day. Most of which were close by to the apartment. Jolly Beach was literally a minute's drive down the road and we went several times to the grocery store. Lots of restaurants were nearby as well. The pool was great for the kids with a nice mix of sun and shade. Our two bedrooms were a great size with ample size closets and dressers to fit all of our clothes and luggage in. We ate all of our meals outside on our covered porch. We loved watching all of the birds and geckos! The manager even lent us a coffee maker for the week! The washing machine was great to have as well as the dishwasher. A perfect place for a wonderful vacation!

Breakfast with the Humming Birds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hamilton House. The apartment was every bit as good as it looks in the photographs. The rooms were spacious, clean and well furnished: the kitchen more than adequate for our needs. The veranda was a delight throughout the day: in the mornings for breakfast watching the humming birds and at twilight to review the day and plan for the next to the sounds of the tree frogs and night herons. The pool provided both a welcome end to a hard day’s exploration or the base for a lazy day at home! The location could not be improved: beaches, shops and restaurants all within easy walking distance: we tried them all and could fault none. The bus to St Johns (and connections onwards) stopped at the end of the drive. Our friends hired a car to get to the more remote parts of the island and attractions that are off the beaten track but we survived for three weeks without one. Howard ensured the booking arrangements went smoothly and Yasmine that all our needs were met.

Best Value and Location
Our stay at Hamilton Estate was outstanding! The property was exactly as pictured. The little things we usually take for granted is what made the difference for us (Internet, local phone, washing machine and 110v plugs). The landscaping was well maintained and truly added to the tranquility of the property. All staff members were cordial and helpful. Even more unforgettable was the thoughtfulness of providing refreshments. They were welcomed by us, especially since our flight arrived much later than anticipated and we were starving! I adore the location of Hamilton Estate, close enough to Jolly Harbour to enjoy the conveniences but far enough away to feel the benefit of a private estate rather than an overly congested tourist area. I would enthusiastically recommend Hamilton Estate and will book here for our next visit to Antigua.
