Overview
Byam house nestles in a beautiful hillside just above the white sands of Galleon Beach. There are four separate and very private bedrooms each with its own shower room. There are two double bedrooms featuring their own private balconies with stunning views across the bay towards the caribbean sea. All bedrooms have A/C, ceiling fans and mosquito nets over the beds. Tucked beneath the house there is a laundry room with a large capacity washing machine.
The house has benefitted from recent refurbishment, including new kitchen units, fridge / freezer, washing machine and soft furnishings. The kitchen opens onto the verandah where there is a large dining table. The kitchen also opens onto the garden at the rear so there is always a cool breeze blowing through the house. For those preferring to shelter from the sun indoors, there is a comfortable sitting room that has views over the bay.
The house boasts its own private swimming pool surrounded by a large area of decking and sun beds. The two twin rooms have large french windows that open on to the decking beside the pool. The garden at the front of the house leads down to the beautiful unspoilt sand of Galleon beach, which is a mere one minute stroll, where guests may also take advantage of a private beach area with ample shade, they may also make use of beach chairs, and kayaks, which are available to guests free of charge.
Just across the crystal clear blue waters of English harbour sits the historic Nelson's Dockyard which is as rich in naval history as it is in local culture, food and hospitality. You can discover the forts and cannons that once protected the harbour, and you can't fail to spot the odd anchor still resting in the very spot where it was once laid down by Nelson's fleet. The dockyard itself is a triumph of restoration, incorporating local shops, bars and restaurants, which blend beautifully into the Georgian elegance and grandeur of one of the most historically important and prestigious dockyards in the world.
The unbeatable location and surroundings of English Harbour mean that the elegance of Byam house, with it's stunning verandah, pool and balconies, is only the beginning....

A true "home away"!
This was, by far, the best tropical vacation getaway. The Byam House is absolutely gorgeous, with just the right amount of elegance and still maintaining a lot of charm and Caribbean feel. Now that we are back home, I can't get that incredible place with it's perfect location out of my head. We felt very at home and enjoyed the presence of Miriam, the housekeeper, who felt like family. The island itself has endless exploring opportunities and the islanders are warm and friendly, unlike some other islands. I wish I had part ownership of the home, I want to keep returning to it.

Dream accomodation and location
Have just returned from a wonderful weeks family holiday to Antigua. 6 of us stayed in Byam house and we never felt on top of one another. The house is something I couldn't even dream up from my desk back in the UK, fully equipped and super clean (I would know I've work in 7 star service). The property immediately felt like home and with in hours the stress I carried from the UK seeped away as I swam in the warm water from the beach at the bottom of the driveway. Loved the island of Antigua and the tourist guides left around the house helped us plan which beach to drink our rum on the next day :) Can not wait to go back to the island and there will be only one place I will stay!

Superb Location, Very well maintained.
I visited Byam House During Antigua Sailing week and was so impressed I vowed to take my family there in the UK winter. We were not disappointed. we had a wonderful time. The House was well furnished and equipped -very comfortable-in very good condition. and we were looked after so well by Miriam the house keeper. The 4 Bedrooms were air conditioned-had mossy nets all round the beds- and ceiling fans . The veranda with its views was the center of activity. Getting about was easy by water taxi in daylight and road taxi by night, easily arranged by the reception at the Beach Club Resort. We walked the Shirley hts Trails, visited Jolly Hbr- Pigeon Beach- Willoughby bay and dinned in several good local restaurants. Thanks very much- A great Success Byam house is in the best Spot on the Island. Our intention is to return
