Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Saint John

We (a couple) stayed at the Hummingbird Villa April 2025 and had a great stay. The villa was very accurately described by the photos and was modern and clean. The two decks had a beautiful view of the sunset - watching the sunset each night was our favorite part of the trip! Debbie was very communicative. We had a super minor maintenance issue, which Debbie resolved quickly and easily. The condo is about 10-15mins outside of St. Johns, which makes for a peaceful surrounding, but you will definitely need to rent a car to stay here. Our favorite beach was Deep Bay beach, which was a 5 minute drive further down the road on which the condo complex is located. Definitely worth checking out and make sure you get a fresh grilled lobster from Just Grillin'!

Our stay at Bernard’s place was awesome. The home is exactly as described and looks just like the photos. Literally 5 mins from the airport ..I mean it’s walking distance!! Thoughtful amenities and very clean and comfortable. We saw lots of thoughtful things there that you won’t normally find at an air bnb and I’ve stayed at many! Like for example there was an umbrella hanging on the door in case it rained ..small little things like that do not go un- noticed. They set the bar real high for others. The host is super responsive and nice. There was a water issue and it was resolved in leas than an hour even though it was at night. The plumber came within 30 mins … now that is impressive!! Plenty of linens and clean towels - even a washer and dryer. Plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware if we decided to make a meal. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. Don’t walk-run to reserve this home. It’s well worth the money you will spend. Not overpriced either!!!

We had a lovely stay. The place was quiet and clean. James was responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend anyone looking for a beautiful space close to Jolly Harbour and the town.

Jamila was readily available ensuring our stay was comfortable. House was clean and light Atmosphere was calming and relaxing. Peaceful and quiet environment, loved it! Very modern space and furniture. Greatest outdoor space. Close to town, grocery stores, runaway beach and restaurants. Overall excellent. We highly recommend this place to stay in Antigua. We would definitely stay here again as our first choice.

Blanka made our stay very welcoming and allowed us an early check in and Kate check out because of flight issues. We were very appreciative of Blanka’s hospitality and will recommend anyone to stay there. The home was very well kept and easily accessible.

I had an amazing stay in your home! The host was incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. The property itself is surrounded by breathtaking scenery, making it the perfect getaway for relaxation. One of the highlights was the proximity to stunning local beaches—just a short trip away. The area also felt very safe, giving me peace of mind throughout my stay. Overall, this Airbnb exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and scenic escape!

Our stay at the shell cottage was great! The location was private and had private fencing which made it feel safe. The house was clean and cozy! Saveena was helpful with all communication prior to our arrival. We didn’t need anything additional during our stay, but Alyson and Tony were readily available and responsive once we arrived. Check in and check out were seamless. They provided some local recommendations for restaurants. I would recommend staying here and look forward to returning in the future.

The villa and the view were even better than we had hoped for—and we had high hopes! So private, like a personal paradise. Having our own bbq and pool to ourselves was worth every penny. Didn’t see many options on the island for a private pool. Simonetta and Skep were wonderfully attentive and responsive. There’s a book of all the information you’d need to know, too. We would absolutely recommend and we hope to come back one day! Don’t hesitate to book this stay :)

We loved Charlene's place and would stay again. A quiet, safe neighbourhood, 10 mins walk to the supermarket and a lovely bakery 15 mins walk away. St. John's is a 30 min walk away. For those not feeling the walking, there are plenty of car rental places and the apartment has a driveway. It was a great base from which to explore the island. Charlene was really helpful from the moment we landed until the taxi ride back to the airport. Warm and friendly, couldn't ask for more. Thanks Charlene.

For anyone looking for a place to stay in Antigua , Paradis Tropical Suites is the place . Everything you see on the website and the descriptions are just as describe. Nice surrounding, almost everywhere I wanted to visit is 23 min or less from location. Place was very clean and cozy. Make you feel right at home

Initially I was booked to stay at a hotel but decided that I wanted a different experience so I decided to rent a car and look for accommodations close to where most of my business meetings were scheduled. The White Hibiscus Studios turned out to be a delightful find and Edith and her husband Probyn were wonderful and accommodating hosts. The space was clean and well appointed with everything that I needed for a one week stay. The basket of toiletries as well as the complimentary coffee and condiments were a thoughtful touch. There was also plenty of clean linen. I appreciated that there was a washing machine available so I could do laundry while in residence. A rental car is necessary for this area if one intends to move about at their leisure. There are several great restaurants within a 5-15 minute drive of the apartment and Dickenson bay beach is a 9 minute drive. The supermarket and gym are also within close proximity. Good value for money and felt like home away from home.

This was such a beautiful place to stay at. Pictures don’t do it justice at all. It’s truly at the top of the hill and you get an amazing view of the island. Mackie was extremely helpful and it was such a great tip to get a car to be able to move around easily. The utilities are top notch and definitely so glad to spend time there.

I felt like I was received by relatives : the whole crew were so nice to me, chatty and welcoming. Heart on hand. The place was lovely, well arranged and clean. The gate system made me secure and at ease, was easy to use. Location was good, close to the beach (if you are on foot), and easy drive to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Their three dogs and one cat were sweet and asking for pets, it was adorable. I stayed my last few nights in Antigua there and I really had a blast. Can't recommend enough. Got the best wifi there ;) Thank you again to you three, for making my last days here a bliss. Wish you the best!

I had an amazing stay at Eiysha's Airbnb! The place was absolutely lovely—immaculately clean, well-decorated, and incredibly comfortable. It felt like a home away from home. Eiysha was a gracious host, ensuring everything was perfect for my visit. The location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was so relaxing. I am already looking forward to a second visit and would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay!

I really enjoyed my stay at Bill’s place. The location was great. Having an access to the beach and multiple beach bars for food was a life saver. The place was clean and the staff was so responsive and helpful. I had no issues other than the mosquitos! But he has no control over that 🙂. I would definitely come again.

Leif’s place was perfect for a stay in Dickinson Bay. Just a few minutes walk to a quiet part of the beach, with provided beach chairs. Down the beach from a few major resorts and hotels, so plenty of activity and restaurants in walking distance, but in a spot to enjoy the beach essentially by ourselves. Leif was responsive and his advance tips were helpful, just a wonderful host. We didn’t rent a car/take any taxis, so a few tips for those like us: - There’s an ‘EZ Mart’ in walking distance that had a few essentials (sparse and expensive, but worked in a pinch) - A few of the boat tours pick up in front of the Royalton Chic on the beach, so we were able to get to a boat tour on foot without going into town (we did the Excellence Circumnavigation and it was a bit choppy but great) - We used the AllMart app for delivery which was great when we didn’t want to eat at one of the restaurants on the beach. - Fort James was a good long walking adventure, definitely a workout in the sun.

I can only add more praises to all previous good reviews. What a great place! It's very clean, comfortable, private, and well stocked too. The location is really good, very close to the beach (what we were after). The hosts are very responsive and always ready to help with tips and advice. Would highly recommend it.

Spacious, clean apt with relaxing patio view of water. Short 3-min walk to beach restaurants. Car recommended at nights. convenience store also close by. Great time at this place. Sarah was extremely accommodating.

This villa is perfectly located right on one of the best beaches in Antigua. The setting is absolutely stunning-just steps from the soft white sand and crystal-clear water. The villa itself is modern, spotless, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. There are a couple of restaurants on-site that are convenient and enjoyable, but Gayle also provided some fantastic local recommendations that were absolutely brilliant. Gayle is an amazing host-warm, helpful, and incredibly responsive. She went out of her way to make sure everything ran smoothly, and even accommodated a late check-out due to my evening flight, which I truly appreciated. This place far exceeded my expectations-it's truly heaven on Earth, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Arian was such a lovely accommodating host who made our trip run smoothly! The Airbnb looked like the pictures and was very close to the beach - just what we needed for a week of sunshine :)

Looking at photos is one thing, but opening the door of Lorraines flat and actually being there was somehign else. Omg!!!! I cannot wait to be back . Lorraines flat is just perfect , the loaction , the decor, the comfort, the space , the facilties to cook . Lorraine left water and snacks and coffee and tea and milk ready for me . The balcony opens up and the whole kitchen and sitting area and balcony become one big open plan area. The view is breathtaking. Lorraine is always present , and replies immediately. Thank you Thank you Thank you . Everything was so nice . The gardens , the pool , Atta the gardener is lovely and tells you all about the garden and the big avocato tree. I could go on and on here but I will let all of you discover the wonders of Lorraines place by yourselves . I will definitely be back very soon . Thank you Lorraine for being and amazing host . And Raymond , too

Great location, it’s right on the beach. Also there are taxis readily available to move around. Would definitely stay again

The location is amazing....Literally, steps from the beach! We had everything we needed, minus food and drinks. The bed was comfortable and the porch was perfect, we spent most of our time on the porch! We visited the pool a couple times and it was very clean. The landscaping was gorgeous and well maintained. The office staff was very nice and helpful. The Starfish bar at Sibonny and Anna's were within easy walking distance of the unit. Kay was amazing and actually stopped by for a quick visit. Our biggest complaint would be the attitude of most of the islanders, they seemed very bitter and angry. My wife got jumped on by security at the grocery store trying to buy ice and the driver we hired for a tour was very gruff and very bitter. We had a very good time despite this. We highly recommend the Mystic Cruise catamaran snorkeling excursion as we had an incredible time and it's only a short walk away. Overall, we really enjoyed our trip despite any hiccups!

Elinor’s Airbnb was wonderful and in a beautiful, private location with just a few steps away to the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, addressed all our needs during our stay. Highly recommend Elinor’s listing if you want a quiet, peaceful stay by a beach.
