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.

The villa is gorgeous, very tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The location is ideal for Jolly Harbour/beach and many local amenities. The hill to access the villa is steep and quite a tough walk but then it affords the most wonderful views. On top of all this, the owner Je accommodating, helful and
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.
Incredible views and sunsets from the villa. Nice open feeling. Comfortable beds. Great showers. Perfect location to the best beaches and restaurants. Would definitely rent again
The pictures don't do it justice... The view was incredible, furnishings modern, beds extremely comfortable, outdoor space mesmerizing. If we come back to Antigua, we are definitely staying in this house again!
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!
This house is stunning with incredible views. The host was great and we had zero issues during our stay. There is a reason for all of the previous great reviews. Highly recommend this property.
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!
Great home with an incredible view and central location. The property has all the essentials and amenities you could need. Host and property manager were great and attentive before and during our stay!
Our family stayed for 5 nights and had the best time reconnecting with each other. The property provided all we needed to feel comfortable away from home. Ample amount of space and wonderful amenities. 10/10
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!
The Cotton House has an AMAZING view and is very comfortable and has a home away from home feel. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. It took some getting used to not having ac in the main living area but took nothing away from our stay. Jenn and Marissa were very helpful, accomodating and easily reached for all of our needs. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
We had the best time!! This house is beautiful, the views are amazing, the pool and hot tub with the views are perfection. Would absolutely stay here again!!
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.
Cotton House is beautiful! So many times I have wished our rental had full length mirrors, makeup mirrors, more coat hangers, etc. No detail is missed at Cotton House. The view is exactly as pictured and we spent hours on the deck. Bring binoculars!
We had an amazing time at this house! Everything was very clean and the house was beautiful. The views from the house were stunning. There was a slight issue with the AC in the cottage but the property manager and owner were very helpful and easy to get ahold of and the AC was fixed.
Jenn was great and her local team and check in process were professional and flawless. Cotton House is a beautiful property and we will be coming back soon.
The villa has great views and is very well appointed. Quite clean and organized. Jenn is very responsive. We spent every morning and late afternoon on the covered terrace. Views of Jolly Harbour, Pearns Point, rainbows and sunsets can’t be beat.
What a view! Just a stunning view and a beautiful home. Jenn, the owner, was very helpful and responsive. She gave me a lot of tips that made planning this trip easier. The home is decorated beautifully and is very comfortable. The beds were all super! The kitchen was nicely appointed and made it easy to cook in when we wanted to. Marisa, the property manager, was very helpful letting us in and getting us introduced to the home. She was also responsive during the week of our stay when we had a few questions. I can't recommend this home enough. Our family all had a fabulous vacation here. Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home.
Although we arrived late due to an airline delay, our house manager Marisa was there to welcome us and show us around the property. Our host had provided some snacks and coffee and water for our first night/morning. The property was clean and exactly as described in the listing. Marisa was prompt throughout our week to answer any questions we might have or to make suggestions for folks to call for taxi service or even lobster delivery! The veranda was a great place to hang out before and after out sightseeing adventures. The pool was beautiful but we didn't use it. It was too cool in the mornings and we were gone in the afternoons. The house was beautifully decorated. The beds were super comfy. I would definitely stay at Cotton House again. Thank you Jenn for sharing your beautiful home with us.
From the moment that I booked till the day that we left, we had a great experience. Jen made everything easy and explained everything fully and was willing to help with any questions or things that we needed. Marissa made the check in and check out process simple and helpful. The beds are very comfortable and the view is amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone. The house is in a great location close to restaurants, some great beaches and grocery store.
My husband and i took our adult children and their spouses. It was a great space for all of us.
I love that is was a gated community, since it was our first time on the island it gave us a little bit more security.
We would definitely go back.
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.
Our stay at the Cotton House was wonderful! The pics say it all! Gorgeous views! We enjoyed the area as well. The home is located close to restaurants and stores so it is very convenient to get around. We rented a car from Pete’s and he was so nice and accommodating.

About the host
Hosted by Jenn
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.
