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. The government of Antigua & Barbuda introduced a tourist tax as of October 2021. As per this regulation, all tourists residing in paid accommodations are required to pay a daily tax of $5 USD (payable in US dollars, not EC) for anyone over the age of 6 years. Regardless of where you stay in Antigua as a tourist (a resort, guest house, etc.) this tax will be due. Since the tax is based on occupancy numbers, we cannot add it to our quoting system as they do not allow this kind of per-occupant levy during the booking process. Although we could theoretically add a blanket percentage to the price, this may not be an accurate or fair reflection. This tax is collected by our local host at check-in. We are responsible for submitting a monthly report with taxes due to the government. We will provide you with a receipt for your records.

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.

Just a perfect location and setup for a family. We stayed with our two young children (1 and 3) and were super happy with the design/ layout being child friendly and safe. The kids loved the bunk beds, high chair and crib availability, fencing of the pool, kids books and toys, and we always found ourselves running down the street to the grocery. So convenient for all of those little things you need over the course of your stay. Great restaurant at the corner. Not too hard to find. And the property manager was available whenever we needed. Perfect place for us. So glad we found it.
