I almost didn’t want to write a review because I’d rather not let anyone else into what I consider to be the gem of the Caribbean, but at the same... read more time everything from the view, pool, rooms, ocean access, and definitely our hosts, were amazing. Maudrina, whose attention, care, and cooking really rounded out our stay. As we left we were already considering our next trip back.

Actually the description of the place does not do it justice. Liz made us feel right at home & was very helpful. Maudrina was like a member of our family... read more & cooked us a delicious meal. We already miss the place & are trying to plan our next trip! Really a special vacation for our family.

This is a spectacular home. Communication with Liz was easy before arrival, checking in, during the stay and I’m sure if needed after checking out. Assistance was readily available for... read more recommendations, reservations or taxi bookings, as needed. We also had a rental car and it was easy to park/leave at our convenience. Maudrina was a wonderful help during our stay. Always keeping the place tidy and providing wonderful meal during the stay. The beds were comfortable, the in-room AC’s great for sleep at night and the paddle boards, kayaks available were fun to use, the grill was put to use as well. Excellent location for birthday celebrations and friend/family reunions. Would definitely look to stay here again. Highly recommend. The pictures are great, but it’s even better in person.

I can't begin to describe this beautiful place!!
The pictures are beautiful but once you get there, you will be amazed. Liz, Maudrina, and Roger were wonderful and... read more made every effort to make us feel comfortable.
Liz made our stay wonderful from the time we booked to our arrival with prompt communication.
Maudrina made a fabulous meal for us and was so pleasant every day when she stopped by to check in.
And Roger was a great driver and arrived promptly every time we called to show us the island.
The house, staff, people and island are ALL beautiful. Book this dream vacation house immediately...and thank me later!!
WE LOVED IT!

Ocean House is a dream come true! Our group of 5 had a wonderful time and were very comfortable throughout our stay. We made use of the pool everyday and... read more appreciated the built in sound system. The kitchen was well equipped for our daily hot breakfasts and smoothies. The home has many beautiful design elements that you have to see in person. Maudrina helped tidy the home each day and was delightful to have around. We can’t wait to come back!

This house was incredible. Beyond the decor and space, the amenities (paddle and kayak) were incredible and allowed us to explore untouched beaches. It is wonderfully designed for groups or... read more families and Maudrina is the best - definitely opt into her cooking. Could not recommend this place enough!

The house and grounds are absolutely stunning! Our hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. We used the pool, kayaks, abs paddle boards every day. Travel to the rest of the... read more island is easy and very doable. You could just as easily spend a whole week hanging around the Airbnb or traveling the island beaches and restaurants.

Where do we start? Our stay at The Ocean House has been incredible, made all the more special by having our wedding day here. Kat, Liz, Maudrina and Roger worked... read more hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The house itself is beautiful and we will miss the breathtaking views over the water and morning/evening swims in the infinity pool. A special mention to Maudrina who made us a delicious dinner one night and is always so warm and friendly. Liz is always accommodating and quick to respond to emails - she booked several things for us, often last minute.
It is hard leaving this place, that's for sure. We would definitely love to come and stay again in the future.
Thank you again for a truly wonderful stay.

If I could give this place a million stars I would. Like what everyone else stated the pictures does this place no justice. The pictures are nice but everything is... read more even nicer in person. The views are to die for. Ive gone on many many vacations and this was hands down the best place that I have stayed at while vacationing.
Mrs. Elizabeth was very nice and helpful, with suggestions on places to eat, booking excursions and booking a COVID test before we left. The house keeper Maudrina was also very sweet and adorable.
The place is clean and well maintained. If you book The Ocean House you will fall in love with it

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Ocean House! The villa is stunning and kept impeccably clean. Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with both before... read more our trip and during our stay. She went above and beyond booking excursions, making reservations and ensuring we had everything we needed. The housekeeper, Maudrina, was also lovely – always kind, kept us tidy, great with recommendations, and an amazing cook of local dishes. Liz also provided a recommended driver for the week, Roger, who was reliable, professional, and a great guide to the island. We booked amazing excursions for snorkeling and sailing on a catamaran, ziplining through the jungle, and a guided hike to the Pillars of Hercules, each time using Liz’s recommended vendors. We already can’t wait to go back and stay at the Ocean House again!

This villa is an "oh my!" experience as soon as you walk through the front entrance. As other folks have commented the pictures do the place no justice! It is... read more simply a magnificent work of architecture and the interior and exterior design are so well done. From property manager Miss Kat to the wonderful house manager Miss Maudrina (you simply must have her cook a dinner for you, wow!) we received top-notch service every day. We hired the "house driver" Sir Roger to drive us around for the entire trip and we felt safe and secure with his services. You should check out beachfront restaurants Salt Plague and Jacqui O's for a nice eat and lounge on the beach experience. All in all, you cannot go wrong staying at Alex's villa during your Antigua visit. I WILL be back! 🙂

After being one of the very first visitors in 2016, this was my second visit to the Ocean House but this time with a different group of friends and we... read more weren't disappointed.
This family run villa is amazing with the most incredible sea view and sunset. There's even a family of pelicans nearby that you can see fishing several times a day. The four en-suite bedrooms are well sized especially the very spacious master bedroom. Along with the rest of the villa, it's very well kitted out.
The photos on Airbnb in no way do them justice ... it's so much better in reality! The infinity pool is fantastic especially at night when the lights are switched on. It has a depth of 4' 10" so it's safe even for novice or non-swimmers.
What made our stay extra special was the hospitality of Liz (site manager) and Maudrina (maid). Liz was more than happy to help us find the right places to eat and even made the reservations for us. Maudrina cooked us a lovely traditional Caribbean meal (extra charge) and she's so friendly.
Antigua's a very small island so it's easy to get around (hire a car). The Ocean House is in the very north but you can get to Shirley HeightsEnglish Harbour in the south in a little under an hour. Dickenson Bay is the closest big beach but I recommend you go to the beach at the back of Beachlimerz. This is a restaurant with a very small and private beach behind it and it's only a 15 minute drive from the villa. The Cedar Valley Golf Course and Zip Line is also a short drive both of which we did and are recommended along with a Catamaran (book Cool Cat in Jolly Harbour).
Antigua are doing very well with the Covid threat - the airport checks are very stringent and everyone in public are wearing masks and sanitizing ... it's extremely safe.
Overall, the Ocean House makes for a great party venue and you won't be disappointed if you booked to stay here. All of our group had an amazing time and I know I'll be coming back for a third visit.

I initially got a little nervous when I couldn't find the address on (Hidden by Airbnb) maps since I have been scammed before and the pictures looked a little too... read more perfect. But Liz sent great directions and she met us at the beautiful home and walked us through. First time doing that for an airbnb but that was a testiment to how warm and welcoming Liz was. She gave us great tips and answered all my emails and random questions quickly.
The pictures do not do the place justice. Truly Paradise! Maudrina was so delightful and was there to maintain the home and make our vacation that much more relaxing! The living room and kitchen was a little warm since it only had ceiling fans but walking into the bedroom with the great a/c was heavenly and that bed in the masters bedroom was heavenly as well. It just forced us to relax poolside more!
The pool was everything! Always warmer than I expected it to be. We were able to take late night dips since it was lit!!
There is a security system but we never used it, we felt very safe!
Thank you Liz and Maudrina for your hospitality. We will definitely be back!!

An amazing stay at The Ocean House. We could not have asked more more. Between the excellent commutation before and during our stay we werewe not forgotten. Liz and Madrina... read more made us feel like we’re we’re a part of the family, always suggesting things we could do or ordering us fish for our fish loving son. We will go back on a heartbeat. Clean, well appointed. The best Villa we have stayed in ever.

The Ocean house was very beautiful just as the pictures show. I had an amazing time hosting my friends and family during my stay in Antigua for my birthday. The... read more pool is a nice infinity pool overlooking the ocean, perfect view for sunsets. The house keeper was also very nice and helpful. Will love to visit again!

The villa was clean, perfect, and just a top notch luxury experience. We were able to get the perfect amount of fun and relaxation the communication was amazing before and throughout the trip, and the staff was amazing. I would absolutely stay here again and again and again and all of my friends are sure to know about this experience.
Make sure you guys have Maudrina cook for you at least once. You won’t regret it!!

This house is absolutely stunning. From the first step inside the house, you see the most amazing views of the pool and the ocean. The photos do not do... read more this house justice. It's perfect in every way. The home and interior is very comfortable, immaculately clean, and well appointed. The outside is perfect for lounging, eating, and staring at a view you can't beat! The pool was great, the perfect temperature, and the dock was a great spot to watch the sunset each day.
We were met by Maudrina and Liz when we arrived to the house. Maudrina cooked us a delicious chicken dinner and Liz showed us around the house and suggested things for us to do. Both were extremely warm and lovely with our 2 young children. We saw Maudrina every day, she was so helpful and pleasant to be around -yet never imposed. Both checked in to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The service was excellent.
This was our first experience with Airbnb, and the bar has been set extremely high! We plan to come back to this house many more times. Everything far exceeded our expectations, thank you for the most wonderful place to call home for the week! We'll be back soon!

A stunning property in a fantastic location. The pictures are great but they don't do justice to how beautiful the villa is. We particularly enjoyed the layout of the property,... read more with lots of outdoor space, and the well-sized pool. The outside dining area is fantastic and conveniently close to the kitchen. A++++++. Will definitely try to visit again.

My family and I stayed in this house for a week over Christmas this year and had an absolutely wonderful time. The pictures do not even begin to do the... read more house and view justice. Everything in the house is great quality and incredibly clean. Liz went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special. She had a Christmas tree set up and decorated for us for the holiday and helped us organize a private chef which turned out to be our favorite meal on the island. The place was so incredible that we think we will be making this trip an annual family event.

We had a really great stay! The house is fantastic and the ocean view stunning! The villa is nicely decorated and equipped with everything you need. Liz and Maudrina hosted... read more us in the best possible way. If we go back to Antigua we will for sure try to rent this house again. Thanks for a great week!

The pictures truly do not do this place justice- it is absolutely incredible. The house is beautiful and spotless and Maudrina was wonderful. If you choose to take... read more advantage of Maudrina's cooking, a private chef (amazing!) or to turn the heater on in the pool ($30/ day), make sure you have cash on hand as they do not accept credit card or check for these services. We did rent a car, which we were glad to have- we made a few trips to the grocery store and adventured to the beach one day. The whole stay was fantastic and we loved our stay in paradise!

From before we even arrived, we received the best service with working with Liz/Alex. They were able to assist with any question, and were so helpful with recommendations before/after... read more we arrived to their beautiful home. The house has breathtaking views from the second you open the front door, and every detail will not go unnoticed. Liz arranged the house to be stocked with our groceries and a meal prepared for us to turn our long day traveling into a relaxing one. Liz greeted us with Maudrina when we arrived, gave us a detailed tour & perfect suggestions for our trip to Antigua. We rented a car, but I would recommend not to, as driving was stressful if you are not familiar with the island. Our stay at the Ocean House is one we will never forget- and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in traveling to Antigua. Thank you Liz, Alex & Maudrina for treating us guests as family and for everything for our trip!
