Sugar Ridge is a private gated community nestled into a hillside where sugar cane was once grown.
Cotton House is situated on a corner lot midway up the hill. The one with the blue roof! It is a "green" house with (17) solar panels and 12,000 gallon cistern to collect rainwater which is sanitized for the house. The pool pump is solar.
It has two en suite bedrooms in the main house and a third en suite bedroom in the detached cottage at the rear of the property.
There are three window "walls" comprised of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors which recess into pocket frames in the living/dining great room. This creates a refreshing cool breeze that flows through the house all day long.
The large verandah pleases sun & shade lovers equally and is lovely for every meal of the day. You will have the hard job every day to pick which of the two lounging areas you are in the mood for.
The infinity edge pool is accompanied by a smaller lounging pool perfect for happy hour.
The courtyard is a nice, cool spot to relax in the late afternoon.
There is plenty of space to park a rental car beyond the remote controlled entrance gate.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, difficult to split our time between the beautiful beaches and the villa but a nice problem to have! Renting a car was necessary due to the steep hill but felt very privileged to wake up to such fantastic views each morning.Communication was seamless and would love to return at some point in the future. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Lovely house with beautiful views of Jolly Harbour

We stayed for 12 nights in Cotton House. The house is perched on the side of Sugar Ridge. Sugar Ridge is a secluded estate with security access. The house is as described with comfortable beds and AC in the bedroom only. The kitchen is well appointed, but we ate out most nights. The plunge pool has beautiful views towards the west. The house was nicely furnished. The hill is very steep but one can walk down to a supermarket, restaurants and even the beach. The walk up would be a challenge but there are taxis in the area. Our largest issue was with the building work just below us where a house was being built with hammering, drilling and general building work going on all day - Monday to Saturday. Also above are other houses being built with frequent large building tracks trundling past at a very slow pace due to the steepness of the hill. At the level of the house is a sleeping policeman which means the trucks have to do into first. The next door plot might be for sale as constant strimming work was being done and people were viewing this property. I’m sure the building work is a temporary and intermittent, but we were unlucky to have it every day. We were never informed of his potential building. I reached out to the owner, who was surprised of the building work starting so early, but at least it was only from eight till five! The videos taken are a “joy” to watch. So five stars for the cottage, but only two stars for the noise.

Wonderful holiday at Cotton House, Sugar Ridge, Antigua

We had a fantastic 10 days at Cotton house. It was everything it was described - a truly lovely luxury villa with large rooms, welcome pools and wonderful views. Renting the property was really easy and Jenn the owner and Mitty the manager were both so helpful. There’s a supermarket only 3 mins drive and it’s close to several beaches and restaurants. We rented a car - I don’t think I could have managed the hill to the villa on foot in the heat- and it made exploring the island much easier. Definitely 5 star.

Stunning!

We had a fantastic stay at the gorgeous Cotton House. The house is beautifully positioned with stunning views. Our favourite memories are sitting on the amazing terrace in the evenings enjoying the wonderful view of Jolly Harbour. Jenn (property manager) was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Her swift responses ensure we had a great stay in her lovely house. Although Covid is still preventing full access to all island amenities we had a great trip and hope return again. Thank you so much Jenn. Special thanks also to the lovely Sophie who kindly gave the house a clean and tidy (and provided lots of laughs) midway through our stay!

What a find!

Believe all the five star reviews that have been left for the Cotton House! What a beautiful spot - a spectacular property in a great location with a stunning (and ever changing) view. Hard to pull oneself away from it at times ! The Cotton House became 'home' for two weeks for our family of four with two teenage daughters and everyone agreed that we wished we had been staying for an extra week! We hired a car for the duration of our stay which was definitely worth doing - a combination of exploring the island but also making a point of spending time at the Cotton House as it was such a special place to be. Jenn was a pleasure to deal with throughout the booking process and she made it very clear that she wanted us to enjoy staying at her home. Thank you Jenn - the family vote is that it was the best holiday to date! Without question we will be returning !

Gorgeous house and views

We were two couples at Cotton House for a week. The house has everything you can imagine, including spices so you don’t have to buy them if you are going to do some cooking. Marisa, the property manager was wonderful. At one point one of the air conditioners began leaking and she had a repair person there within hours. We could have been happy to just stay at the house all day, but dragged ourselves away from the views to do some beach exploring each day. The only drawback was some construction noise, but hopefully that will be over with soon. We have stayed at many rental homes and this was definitely one of the very best.

Breathtaking Views from the Cotton House in Antigua!

My husband and I and his cousin and wife stayed for 14 days in this beautiful home. We are from Michigan.When you enter the home, you are immediately drawn to the verandah to check out the amazing views! we had several mornings with big, beautiful rainbows!The house is just as described, and pictures do not do it justice at all! The beds are very comfortable! The kitchen was put to good use as the guys cooked majority of our meals! It was nice to have a washer/dryer as well, so go ahead and pack light!Restaurants that we ate at were: Miracles; Big Head Lobster; Basilica, Sandra's and Smilin' Harry's and they were all very good!Definitely recommend renting a car! we were able to get out and go exploring the island... the Devils Bridge and Shirley Heights are a must see.If you are a boater, go down to Jolly Harbour, to Paradise Boat Sales and rent a Boston Whaler for the day...it was the highlight of our trip!We will rent the Cotton House again, for sure!

Dream Getaway at Cotton House: Your Private Paradise on Antigua

Our stay at Cotton House on Antigua was simply perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness of the house—everything was spotless and impeccably maintained. The furniture is not only stylish and modern but also chosen with great attention to detail. Each room exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, further enhanced by the tasteful décor. A true highlight is the breathtaking view from the terrace, where we enjoyed spectacular sunsets every evening. The positive vibes that Cotton House radiates made our holiday truly unforgettable. The entire staff, from the friendly housekeeping team to the gardener, the pool man and the ever-helpful agent Marisa, was absolutely fantastic. Marisa was always available to assist us with anything we needed, making our stay even more pleasant. Finally, we must highlight the warmth and kindness of Jenn, the owner of Cotton House. She made us feel truly welcome and ensured that we lacked nothing during our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful vacation home and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect stay

The property and home is beautiful. Gorgeous views of Jollly Harbor. The home is beautifully decorated and has just about anything you would need. The beds are very comfortable. It’s an easy distance to the beach, restaurants, bars, and the food store. While Sugar Ridge is under construction, you do still have access to the gym if need be. We used it every day. We met some great people. Went to a Karaoke bar with some locals. We really enjoyed Basilico down in the harbor. The pop-up beach bar on Jolly Beach was our favorite place for snacks and cocktails during the day. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Couples Trip

We enjoyed our week at the Cotton House. Great communication with the owner and property manager. The house is close to the grocery store, multiple restaurants and beaches. The water went out one morning and they had a plumber there to fix it within an hour. (turned out one of the houses that are being built nearby turned off the main water line). Antigua is an amazingly beautiful country with extremely friendly people. We hope to be back to visit soon.

About the host

Hosted by Jenn

Host profile image
I am from Pennsylvania and I love to travel! Owning our own businesses had afforded us the freedom to explore the world with our two children when they were younger. We are very grateful for this. Throughout our travels we kept returning to the sea, whether on a boat or on a coastline. We knew living near the ocean was inevitable and in 2015 it finally happened.

Why they chose this property

On our initial visit to the island of Antigua we stayed at the Sugar Ridge resort. During our stay I noticed building activity up above the resort and inquired what was going on. The response was a new housing development. That peaked our interest and we asked for a tour of one of the houses. I'll never forget the awe I felt once we entered the home, turned the corner and saw the most incredible view of the ocean (any ocean). We were speechless after a big Wow! And so our big decision to have the same thing for ourselves & you the renter started with that view.
The next year we rented that same house to experience "life" on Antigua & loved every minute of it. During our stay we met with the developer & sealed the deal a few months later. It is truly a dream come true and I hope you feel a little dreamy staying at Cotton House too!

What makes this property unique

I am amazed by the sense of total relaxation that just seems to happen the moment you walk in the front door, open the sliders & stroll out onto the verandah. Normal hectic life back home just fades away. You sleep better, eat better, laugh more. You realize no stress is a good goal to have. I hope my home has the same effect on you. I don't want you to worry about anything. The lovely staff at Antigua and Barbuda Sothebys International Realty will take care of anything you need during your stay as they do for me when I am here.
