We have several levels of security that start with a gated entrance to our neighborhood of about 12 houses. Once inside, the private road leads to our house where we have a keyed gate to enter the property, then another locked gate and door to enter the house areas. Within the house and garden are there is wire. We have owned the house for 2 years and have never had a break in.
Having rented houses in Antigua before buying this home, we stayed in some lovely places but they were either very noisy, had poor ventilation, lack of security, impure water, too far from town or just not comfortable. We have made this home as comfortable and convenient as we can for ourselves and our guests.
Airport pickup can be arranged. We recommend you using our driver since he know the house locations and is in regular contact with the manager. If you are staying for a month or more, we will provide airport pickup free of charge. We can also arrange groceries to be in the home when you arrive and a cook if you need one.
Hotel Soleil is close by and has pool access for a fee. There are also other hotels with pools that are available for a small fee.
When staying for a month or more, we will pay the first $75 a month of the electrical bill. Electricity is expensive here so we encourage renters to conserve. A months electrify can run about $150- $175.
