About this property

Set within two acres of private gardens with astounding views towards Pigeon Beach and Montserrat beyond, The Garden House offers a peaceful, comfortable retreat for between 2 and 4 guests, but is just a few minutes walk from all the bars and restaurants in English Harbour and 5 minutes walk to famous Catherine's Cafe on Pigeon Beach. It is entirely self-contained and has its' own pool and terrace area with a barbeque and sun loungers.

The Garden House is a beautifully appointed 2 bedroom villa with 2 en suite bathrooms and private pool. The main living room flows naturally onto the covered balcony through 2 large screened patio doorways. There's a fully equipped kitchen with large fridge/freezer, dishwasher and plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware.

Both bedrooms are air conditioned (and have ceiling fans too) and are configured as a king in the master and the second bedroom can be either twins or a king.
The covered balcony stretches around 2 sides of the villa, both of which have great sea views. The pool deck is built out to allow full enjoyment of the trade winds and the view down along nearby Pigeon Beach.

There is so much to do locally - from sailing and kayaking at The National Sailing Academy, Riding at Springhill Stables, snorkelling at Galleon Beach - you'll find buzzy "Loose Cannon" here too - perfect for lunch or sundowners, tennis just down the road - or why not go on a boat charter around the island. Rum in the Ruins is a wonderful historical talk given by the National Parks Professor - fascinating and informative.

We are happy to help and advise with any aspect of your visit and have on-island house managers who can help arrange an airport transfer and liaise with the driver to meet you at the house on your arrival to show you around. They are also very much around to help and advise during your stay and can provision the house too - always nice to arrive to a full fridge!

There's no need to hire a car but it can be done easily in English Harbour on a day by day basis and would be a great way to explore the island.

Climate Resilience and Development Fund: Please note that there is a US$5 per person per night (not applicable to those aged 5 and under) tax which is payable locally on arrival to our house manager.

Totally beautiful

The location is simply amazing. Fabulous views, lots of restaurants within walking distance. Even Nelson’s harbour was only a short walk away. I would be nervous about taking little kids there though, as there are drops off around the pool area.

We have just returned from an amazing week at The Garden House and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to be based in English Harbour. Both the Owner of the property and the Management team in Antigua were extremely helpful and friendly. It’s a short walk into town where there are several good restaurants and a short walk the other way takes you to Pigeon Point beach which we visited most days and loved. The view from the terraces and pool are amazing and you couldn’t wish for a better place to watch the sunset. We definitely plan to return to this property.

Charming and Authentic Villa

Garden House is a charming villa close to Falmouth / English Harbour / Nelson’s Dockyard which are probably the most interesting attractions on the island. Great pool. Lovely, friendly housekeepers and an efficient management company.

Amazing house in great location

We stayed 1 week in Garden House. House has everything you might need for the vacation. View is great. There is a lot of outside living space, plus swimming pool. It is really close to the beach, but it is on the hill and walking back will be uphill- please keep in mind Beach itself, my opinion is one of the best beaches. Calm, clear water with great view. Communication with property manager Nathan - immediate response to every question or need. Overall, if I ever decide to go back to Antigua, this house will be my first choice

About the host

Hosted by Isobel James

We fell in love with English Harbour eight years ago and have been enjoying sharing our home there with friends, family and guests ever since. We are based in the countryside in the UK, with three children in their 20's who love taking their friends there - and the proximity of all the bars and restaurants!

Why they chose this property

We were bowled over with not only the private, hidden location but the outstanding 270 degree views over Falmouth Harbour, Pigeon Beach and Montserrat. The sunsets are incredible. We love the interior and outdoor space that Bluff House, The Garden House and The Pink House offer.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!
Bluff House ,The Garden House and The Pink House really are in the best location in Antigua - just 5 minutes walk to Pigeon Beach, home to famous Catherine's Cafe and to all the bars and restaurants in both English and Falmouth Harbours. There are wonderful delicatessens, coffee shops and a great supermarket, all within walking distance. There is no need to hire a car unless you wish to explore the island.
