Nice cabin directly in Porti. Good starting point to everywhere. Amazing view. But a lot of steps up there. Thanks for all.

Amazing in every way!! Rain and all this place helped make our trip magical. Definitely for the adventurer and free spirit. The view and accommodations are worth the 300 step trek... So very worth it! Owner even met us with umbrellas in the rain and had red stripe waiting in the fridge. One thing for sure is take advantage of the outdoor shower, I totally got my life showering out in nature's oasis. This is now our must stay place for Porti, we will definitely be back! It was 3 of us and we were very comfortable. The hammock in the room is cozy. Everything is simple living, an experience for all. This place is for your soul!

The most amazing place to stay in Jamaica! Definitly our best experience on our trip through Caribbean! Michael was a good host! We stayed for only one night, wish we could stay for 5 more. Will come back!

Michael's place is superb. He is a great host and the place is in a great location. Good vibes every time!!! Beautiful views and nice little houses.

Yes it's true... 250 steps! every day... two times... but guess what? It is worth it!!!! Go to Mango Ridge and enjoy the property as well the wonderfull sight over Port Antonie. You really feel like being in the jungle... Michael and his family will are lovely people. Go check it out! Bastian, Clara and Zoé

Our experience at the Sunrise cabin was really special. Mango Ridge is a hidden nature retreat right outside the town of Port Antonio. It's easy to walk down into the town and meet the local folks to have a more authentic experience of the area. Home was very clean, super cool and had a great view of the water and town. The accommodations are simple, but you'll have everything you need. It's wonderful to hear the nature and music being played by the neighbors and it's really awesome walk up the stairs through the jungle to get compound. Michael is a accommodating, interesting and kind person.

Mango Ridge is spectacular, a secluded treetop escape. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The reservation was canceled 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Irena was great and we really enjoyed our stay there. It is a beautiful location and we would defiantly stay there again.

Loved staying at this location. The owner was super helpful and very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again.

Irina was just the best host we could've asked for. She was so helpful with everything from the moment we booked the place. She gave us tips for getting around the island, things to do while we're there, answered all our questions and even found a local guide for us to hike Cockpit Country. She was also usually available while we were there for anything we needed/questions we had. In addition, the place was absolutely beautiful and exactly what was described. It's secluded in the sense that it's not directly in the middle of all the "touristy stuff" but it's close enough to walk to shops/food, or it's a short drive to a lot of activities. A great way to see how the locals live. Furthermore, if you're a dog lover - stay here! There are 4 of just the sweetest dogs here that will accompany you to the beach or on walks. Having puppy friends here was an added bonus to an already amazing stay. I am so glad that we picked Calypso Villa for our first trip to Jamaica - best trip ever! We're a little spoiled now though, it will be hard to find an Airbnb that beats it!

Calypso Villa is the perfect place to spend your holidays in Jamaica. Every morning, you wake up with the peaceful sound of waves. The view is marvellous and the host is a delight. Indeed, Irina will warmly welcome you and tell you everything you need to know about the country; the culture, the people, the food, best places to visit and all the prices. The villa is in very good shape and is well equipped. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a wonderful Jamaican experience.

I can't say enough about how great our stay with Irina was. The house was spectacular, right next to the ocean and down the street from your very own beach. Irina herself was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of activities and sights to see, as well as jamaica as a whole was nothing short of amazing. I wish I could meet and stay with people like Irina everywhere I travel. I would absolutely recommend staying here for anyone planning your next vacation to jamiaca!

Irina was a fabulous host-very kind and gracious. It was our first visit to Jamaica and she gave us the lay of the land. She recommended renting a car, which we decided against because we were nervous about driving on the opposite side of the road/car. Would definitely take her advice next time around as her home is not near many restaurants or attractions. She called me the night prior to our arrival to confirm plans for the driver she had arranged to pick us up from the airport-such a kind,unexpected gesture. Gorgeous view from the balcony. Clean accommodations, great wifi access. Irina even hung a hammock near the water and offered her personal scuba equipment for us to use!

Irina was great helping me find Calypso and was very responsive. It is a quiet hideaway by the sea. Enjoyed swimming in the ocean in the morning. It's really off beaten path in a way.

We had a very good short weekend getaway. Irina is very knowledgeable of the island and accomodating to all of her guests. She goes out of her way to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Genuine hospitality.

We had a great time as usual. The snorkeling was super the place was just cleaned and Oracabessa is our favorite spot on the island.

Keith was very accommodating and the villa was lovely. Ken, the gardener was nice enough to pick some mangoes for us and bring us some coconuts, delightful! Had a great experience and plan to recommend Keith to anyone I know who is going to Jamaica.

We had an amazing experience in Keith's Villa. Keith was very responsive and accommodating. He picked us up from the airport and made sure our stay was comfortable. We really had an authentic Jamaican holiday. The town and surrounding area was very welcoming and we were able to easily travel around the eastern side of the island with the car we rented from Salem Car rental. Mr. Wang (Ken the gardner) is amazing!!! Our trip would not have been the same without him. I can truly say that we made a new friend in Jamaica, and we will be returning to Oracabessa to hang with Mr. Wang. He showed us around and accompanied us on local experiences. Mr. Wang has a fruit stand at the front of the property where he provides jelly, sugar cane, and seasonal fruits. He introduced us to local foods and dishes, and he pretty much knows everyone in the vicinity. WE LOVE MR. WANG. Thank you so much for a great vacation. We will be back next year at the same time. Hold our spot!

A perfect getaway for us

Friendly host and property staff including 24 hour security. It was valuable to me to have full kitchen and clothes washer. I will definitely stay there again!

Great spot. Very happy we picked it. Peaceful, relaxing and clean

My girlfriend and I spent an amazing week at Villahi. Keith & Katy were fantastic hosts, and very helpful getting us settled in. The Views are unreal the water clean, clear, and warm. Oracabessa is a cool little town and you should check it out - we had zero issues and never felt threatened or uneasy. Its fairly close to Dolphin Cove Runaway Bay and Dunns River ect. cab rides vary but 20-30 U.S. should get you anywhere in Ochi. Don't bring very much Jamaican currency US dollars are preferred everywhere and you usually get a better deal. Ken the gardener is your every mans man ask him and he can get you rides or into Goldeneye resort which is next door and he'll even bring you coconuts and mango for breakfast. We had an amazing time and we'll be back for sure! Thanks guys

We found Keith & Kady to be great hosts, on call 24/7 for any problems (we had a couple of power cuts due to weather damage, and even after midnight Keith got the necessary done within the hour!) The villa is so homely, from the moment we unpacked it was a joy to just relax and enjoy the space. The outside space has wonderful views out to sea from the gardens and cliff top patio. The sea is accessible down some stairs where you can jump straight in to cool off and snorkelling there is great fun. We stayed for a month, during which time we were married, and found the villa our perfect honeymoon bolt hole. Would love to return in the future!!! Would recommend highly!!

Jaca Paradise Villa, what can I say...What an amazing place to stay, the villa is so comfortable & homely. Large rooms with the most comfortable beds. My family enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the peaceful gated community. The neighbours were pleasant and welcoming. Arlene was great in communicating from the start & I will be sure to come back again soon, thanks to Alicia who was so pleasant in greeting us. Didn't want to leave..Love this Place

Alicia was very warm and welcoming and very easy to talk too. The house was gorgeous it was everything we wanted and more. The neighborhood was spectacular very well manicured landscaping. Very friendly and helpful security. I will most definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable, the whole entire family enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed all of the accommodations such as the pool and the mini-park. We also like the fact that the home had everything we needed. We will definitely come back again! Highly recommended.

My stay at the villa was absolutely wonderful, it was in fact a home away from home. From meeting with Alissa when I arrived to the day I left was a pleasure. The villa provided everything needed for my family. It was very clean, well furnished, comfortable and having air conditioning in every bedroom and the living area was wonderful. I would definitely recommend a stay at your villa to both family and friends - Alissa was welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I also had the good fortune of meeting the neighbours - they were very nice people. The villa was just the right size, everything I needed was close by including a very clean and well stocked shop.

The house is simply wonderful: spacious, modern .. almost Magazine. It has any accessory and if you decide to take advantage of the kitchen Alicia the lady who greeted us will be thrilled. We prepared for both days breakfast and dinner in full Jamaican style.

We got in late Tuesday night about 9pm, never drove in Jamaica before and had no problems finding the Villa. We got to the security gate and the guards were professional but friendly. They delivered my key and further directions to the Villa which was literally 1 minute from the gate. The Villa was very clean and spacious from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom. Place smells great furniture are all new and beds were very comfy. The price is unbeatable. My only issue was wifi was a bit choppy and could use a TV program listing. The next morning my wife and I were up at 6 for an early morning stroll. The landscape, the scenic views the fresh air just breath taking. The pool is very large and the water looks amazing. The close by grocery store is convenient but a bit expensive. However there are many more options in Priory and Ocho Rios. The location is about 5 minutes from the beach and maybe 5 to 10 minutes from major attractions . Definitely 5 stars. ARLENE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY FAMILY VACATION A SUCCESS. YOU'RE AN AMAZING HOST!! MY WIFE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN

Immensely enjoyable stay at Arlene's place!! The villa is so comfortable and well equipped for your everyday activities. Close to all the attractions of Ochi and if your adventurous A day trip to Negril is only a couple of hours away! We all enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa!! Arlene was so accommodating with the scheduling and Alicia, the housekeeper was AMAZING!!! I definitely will rent here again!!!

My 9 days stay at Jaca Paradise Villa was beyond awesome. We arrived on Saturday, July 23rd and was met by the attendant Alicia. The property was very clean, comfortable, secure and centrally located; walking distance to the gym and pool. I was pleasantly surprised that Arlene provided beach towels :-). The attendant, Alicia was very pleasant; she even got us some local fruits, and at our request, cooked a real nice dinner; curry shrimp and brown stew fish with veggie and callaloo. The food was delicious. I just love this place, and would certainly recommend it to anyone wising to staying in the Ochi Rios area. Much thanks to Arlene for being a more than gracious host. Your place is awesome.

Marcia and Richard made our stay so comfortable. They gave us useful recommendations on what to do while in Ocho Rios. The neighborhood was safe and close to the city center. Their home is lovely, and we loved having breakfast on their balcony while talking to them about Jamaica.

Nice area and a beautiful house. Marcia and Richard were nice and friendly. The room was nice and clean. We had a nice stay but too bad that the wifi didn't work when we were there. I recommend this place.

We loved staying at Marcia and Richard's. We lived like a local for two days and Richard gave us many tips on how to get around inexpensively and also an impromptu lift/ride into the town of Ocho Rios. Richard is man with a great sense of humour and we enjoyed bantering with him on the terrace after breakfast. Marcia is a lovely and gracious host. We shared common experiences of hosting on airbnb. Irie man!

Marcia is an excellent and attentive host. All interactions with her felt genuine and kind. Richard is gregarious, honest and caring. The two of them make a lovely pair. They offered a pick up/drop off from the bus station at no cost, which is really exceptional. I learned that they're longtime (successful) hosts of Airbnb, which completely made sense! The home is spacious, clean, with a beautiful view and a nice feel to it. There's a mini fridge in the room, which is great since you don't want to leave out food or fruit that may attract critters. The wifi has been mentioned on reviews before - but it feels important to reiterate that you cannot receive it in the room (especially on poor receivers like cellphones). Immediately outside of the bedroom and upstairs are best. Luckily this was a pure vacation for us and we didn't mind. Altogether, I just want to say that staying here was an absolutely wonderful experience. We went to Ochi after being based in another area in JA and had peace/quiet, laughter and adventure all wrapped into one small trip. Thanks to Marcia & Richard!

Marcia was a great host, she was very welcoming. She was very convenient and flexible, she picked us to the bus. The room was very clean and comfortable. And the place is good location. We enjoyed our stay there :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marcia and Richard at their lovely home in Ocho Rios. They were very willing to help us make arrangements for tours and help us in any way they could. The space they have for rent is perfect, spacious and private and very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again if the opportunity presents itself in the future.

My friend and I spent a little more than one week in Jamaica and thanks to Marcia and Richard, it was one of the most amazing travelling experiences! We had only booked to stay at Marcia`s home for one night, but as soon as we met them and stepped foot in their beautiful home, we knew we would spend the rest of our time there and this is what happened! Marcia made us a delicious typical Jamaican breakfast every morning and we ate alltogether on their terrace overlooking the beautiful hills. It really felt like a family, a warm comforting feeling of being at home. They generously took us to see Nine Mile and Dunn`s river falls and drove us around the town. They are an incredibly loving, generous, funny and open minded family. I will definately be coming back soon and I know that many more people will be blessed to stay with them. I feel incredibly blessed to have experienced Jamaica for the first time with them.

When i arrived in ochi i was quiet homesick. But marcia and rich made my stay just wonderful. They are so lovely and i can highly recommend to stay at their house.Thanks for making me feeling like home! Big hug

Alyssa's place is utter heaven. It's exactly as it looks in the pictures and as described, super safe, friendly neighbors and security men, beach is literally across the street, and RIGHT on hip strip where everything in MoBay goes down. It's also about a 10-15 min walk to downtown MoBay. Alyssa's attentiveness and eagerness to help us with any questions or give us suggestions on where to go, what to do, etc. was definitely the best part of our stay (besides the huge comfy bed). The balcony is super spacious and has a pretty good view of the happenings of the hip strip. Great internet connection, AC, and cable. Errol the cab driver is the sweetest and will do anything to help you. The fact the Alyssa leaves a phone for all guests speaks volumes of her hospitality. She even provides guests with an electric mosquito swatter...she's THAT great. Next time I'm in MoBay I know where I'll be staying :). Thanks Alyssa!

We had a great time in Alyssa's apartment- it looks just like in the pictures and is located near many good spots for dining and partying. We also liked the shared pool (free) and the option to book tennis lessons. Alyssa was very helpful in answering our questions, mainly about logistics, as well. All in all highly recommended.

-Best Air BnB experience ever- The listing was exactly as mentioned and pictured. All of Alyssa's descriptions were spot on from the building to the beach. While I did not interact with her once there, she was very informative and kind prior to my trip. She sent over very detailed instuctions and recommendations and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She also provided a local phone which I found extremely helpful, as I was afraid to take my phone off of airplane mode lol. Also, the housekeeper (oops I forgot her name) had the place looking immaculate. I thought the flowers were a very nice touch and when you walked in you felt right at home. You cannot even tell how nice the apartment is when looking at the building on the outside! I honestly would not hesitate to recommend staying at Alyssa's place and if I find myself if Mobay again, I am searching here first! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your very comfortable and stylish apartment!

We were lucky enough to get an upgrade from Alyssa to the two bedroom condo instead. And that was just amazing. The view over the ocean was just beautiful and could be seen from the bedroom and lounge area. The place itself was also beautiful so that it was easy to hang inside the house as well as use for a base to explore the adjacent hip strip. Alyssa was great with communication and answered any questions we had. I would definitely stay at one of her places again.

We had a very good week in the apartment of Alyssa! It is exactly like the pictures. Prior to our visit with an extensive mail facilities in and around Montego Bay. The good communication before and during our stay was a very positive thing! We enjoyed the view from the balcony. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at El Greco on the 14th floor with views over the hips Ruant trip and airport. Slept in the generously equipped apartment. Snorkel Sets are available in this beautiful apartment. There is even a telephone for local calls there! (Prepaid, so maybe just upgrading) Visiting Doctors Cave Beach on the other side of the road guarantees good beach, swim and eat / drink. We had a great time. Before our departure Alyssa has arranged a taxi that was even after two time changes right on time and took us to our next stay in Jamaica. If desired, they can also arrange that if you arrive at the airport. In the apartment balcony or bet you do not suffer from arriving or departing aircraft. Day no beach? On the 14th floor is a pool! A must therefore only 10 minutes from the airport and the famous hips trip Mintego Bay!

My husband and I stayed a couple of nights in Alyssas apartment and we would highly recommend it to anyone who considers it! A nice , clean and spacy apartment with a kitchen, bathroom and a super cozy balcony for lazy nights at home. In the kitchen you will find whatever you need to prepare food, cutlery and equipment. The apartment is across the street from the beach and in the second floor og the building you will find a little shop so you can buy water or food. Staying in Alyssas apartment was great! There is even a TV with American channels if you get bored and want to stay "at home". If we go back to MoBay this is the place we will stay at!

Alyssa was really responsive before and during our trip. We had a slight problem with the drainage in the shower (probably from all the sandy beach fun of past guests, since Doc's Cave Beach is so conveniently located right across the street!) but Alyssa immediately responded and sent a plumber out and the next morning it was all fixed. Loved that there was a cell phone and snorkel gear provided. The place was as described and clean. Very convenient location to the Hip Strip and local attractions. I would recommend!

This place is perfectly located across the street from the ocean overlooking the main strip and beach. Very clean and comfortable place with a private balcony surrounded by wonderful vegetation. Alyssa provided us with some great local eats and things to check out in the area. We used her recommended cab driver to get around and Stephen couldn't have been better. Got us everywhere we needed to go, always full of knowledge and even waited for us during our long excursion in the mountains. (cockpit country tours - see them on trip advisor, unbelievable experience). Would definitely stay here again!

Whaooo! Port Antonio is the best place to be in Jamaïca to enjoy of the nature and people. The colored Cottage was amazing, even better than our thought! In the morning you can enjoy the sunrise in a luxuriant vegetation, the view is the just incredible. The cottage is peacefull and you forget the 300steps... The kitchen is has all accomodations that you need. Perfect to cook local food and enjoy the sunset. The outside shower is a pleasure after a long day and the bed was comfortable! Special mention to Robin for his helpfulness and kindness... Thank also to Mickael even if we missed time to meet you and play dominos ;)! For sure we will come back! One love, Aurelie & Rod!

Mike made us feel welcome from the moment we reached and helped us with every question we had. We spent two wonderful days in Bamboo Cottage. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We hope to be back one day.

One of the greatest adventures I had in Jamaica! Beautiful view, the best host ever and neighbours/other guests awsomely fantastic! The cabanas are cute, comfortable and bring out the best of the country. Should've spent the whole trip in there! We climbed 270 steps everyday and they were all worth it!

Michael was a great host, very friendly and very knowledgeable about jamaica and that's the most important part when we are visiting a place! Right the first day we were invited to have a beer with him and play some domino (very popular in jamaica) We spent 2 nights at his place and he was very accomodating when we decided to change our plans. This place is a good spot to be in the nature but only 5 minutes away from the city! Yes you have to walk up 300 steps everyday and sometime just with the light of your phone but that was the also part of the fun for us ;) So overall its quality is good for it s value i would higly recommand to go there.

Bamboo is my favorite place in Jamaica. I've been to Jamaica 3 times, I stayed at bamboo 2 times and I hope to go back there asap. Michael and his friend Robin are the best!!

The most beautiful place where we stayed in jamaica. +beautiful view from bamboo cottage +very special and colourful cottages +michael is a very friendly and helpful host (told us good restaurants, amazing beaches and made our laundry) +beaches like frenchmans cove and winnifred beach and also the famous blue lagoon are very easy to reach by route taxis -if you are a backpacker, you would love to stay there, but if you are used to hotels rooms, it might not be that comfortable for you

Great place to stay, Michael was a great host. You have to be fit to hike up the hill but then you will be rewarded with the view!!!! Best view for Port Antonio! Stay at Mango Ridge! You won't be disappointed.

It was a great time here in the bamboo. The climb is a bit exhausting with all the luggage, but it is worth total! The view is beautiful and the rooms perfect for two people. Thanks Mike, we really enjoyed it here.

Jayne and Carlyle who own the place and live in another town and their "children" Marlene and Skip who live on the property really do a lot to make you feel comfortable and almost part of them. It begins with a safe and affordable ride from whereever you like to their property with the different rooms and the hut, it goes over yummy but not very cheap meals from lovely Marlene up to a trip guided by Carlyle with no extra guide fee which showed us an almost secret garden eden. And so on. They build the real estate with a lot of love to the details. In Mandela Hut you have to behave like a local not to be surprised by ants cats and other fauna. But usually that will work fine. The best beach for us was Old Wharf, quite a while to walk, a nice breakfast place is Smurfs around the Corner and a sunset dinner at Jack Sprat. We almost became real frieds and when ever back in Jamaica we would try to stay there again.

Jayne, I think you know that our stay in the Mandela Great Hut was more than memorable.

The Great Mandela hut was a beautiful place to stay. Jayne was extremely quick to respond to emails which made booking very easy and she thoughtfully emailed directions the day before we arrived which meant we found it very easily. The hut is very close to the beach (we recommend going there for the sunset!) and you can walk to some lovely restaurants in no time at all. Treasure Beach is very safe and friendly. The hut was very spacious and well equipped - especially as there were only 2 of us! We had breakfast on the first day which was delicious and we went to Smurfs the second day which is very close by and also delicious. We visited just after an unusual period of heavy rain which meant there were lots of mosquitos, even with the net on the bed so remember to take mosquito repellent and to cover up!

Very nice place, different than others. Owners were nice and helpful. We felt fine there.

Jane, I'm sure I said it already but it's never enough of good words: we just loved our stay in Moringa Ingadi, every single minut of it was a great experience. Treasure Beach is an amazing place with such a nice community. We had great time, we thank You once again for all Your care and commitment. Love from Poland! P.S. How could I not to tell You how I adore Your morrocan style? I'm crazy about it too, wish to have You as a friend to a Morrocan trip and shopping! :*

Jane's place is amazing, the hut is luxurious, clean and very special. The location is about 5 min walking from the main beach. It is part of a a communal space where you can interact with other guest on the property as well. Jane and her boys are the nicest of people and really take good care of you. great communication before and during our stay.

My short stay was incredible. The hut itself was comfortable with all the amenities you could want. The temperature was always right, never too cold or hot, just perfect. Our meals were delicious and reasonably priced. The chef was pleasant and accommodating. I felt like I knew Jayne before I met her in person so it wasn't a surprise when she greeted me at the gate as if I was here to visit my auntie.

Beautiful wodden cottages close to the beach. This quiet area with super friendly neighbors will make your stay an unforgettable one!! We will for sure come again

First time to Jamaica wanted it to be different so I looked to AirBnB for that experience for my fiancé and I. We found Antonia's listing and fell immediately for the thought of an amazing get away. It was exactly what I imagined and more their hospitality and property were better than that of any 5 star hotel. Hats off to an amazing stay thanks to Antonia and her family!!!

Great Place to getaway from everything .. Always helpful and very Kind ... Best view Ever over Kingston.. The dogs Are Lovely ... The House is amazing..

The pictures and description can't capture the true beauty of the property. Upon arrival we were impressed by the property and beautifully decorated, modern cottage. It felt like home and their two loving dogs were just a bonus. Antonia made communication really easy and her and her beautiful family were very sweet and welcoming. Marlon, the groundskeeper, was super helpful and answered all of our questions. The ride up the hills is not for the faint of heart and I definitely do not suggest driving if you aren't experienced. Their suggested taxi driver Roland was really convenient and came at a moment's notice, it was rather pricey, but not astronomical. Make sure you plan for a full day out so you don't have to make the long trip back up and down the mountain multiple times a day. The cottage was stocked with food + beverages and Antonia's father insisted we have more beer, probably the best welcome ever! Don't miss Scotchies in town for the best jerk we've had on the whole island. Make sure you get out to Fort Clarence Beach, it was amazingly beautiful and worth the 40 minute drive. Be caution at Hellshire Beach as the local hustle is real, and be sure to pay up front for anything you're buying, namely food. The only concerns we had were that the bed was rather uncomfortable and there are no shades/blinds in the entire cottage so sleeping-in past sunrise was almost impossible. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful landscaping, breathtaking views, and fresh mountain air! Lovely hosts and the perfect start to our Jamaica adventure.

Without a doubt the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. Nestled up in the Blue Mountains near the chic Strawberry Hill and other luxury lodges, Antonia & Roger's place offers a unique slice of serendipity that is more tranquil and relaxing than any resort. The staff are a reflection of the oasis they keep so beautiful; everyone coordinated in order to create an unforgettable experience for us during our short stay. Thank you Antonia and co for the recommendations, the genuine hospitality, and for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Antonia and Roger were extremely welcoming and helpful. Antonia called us while we were on the road to make sure we were okay and were happy to host us! We were their first airbnb guests and we feel honored! They made some recommendations for dinner which was incredible. This place is a gem and will absolutely be back!

We completely recommend this house. We came here for our honeymoon and on the very first night we got to Jamaica we had some complications with the car rental and couldn't get to this guesthouse until 11pm. Roger stayed up and helped us locate the house. They are helpful and kind as are their workers and dogs. The view can't be beat. It's peaceful and secluded. This is the perfect get away.

Antonia's beautifully appointed cottage was the perfect weekend getaway and escape from the Kingston summer heat. We had a lovely time engrossed in Lilly & Snoopy (Antonia's dogs). The cat's were pleasant also, although we didn't exchange names. The luxuries of the property rival the best all-inclusive hotels. Our experience was the epitome of when the luxury of a vacation meets the comfort of home. It was easy to find and hard to leave. Antonio was very accommodating and facilitated us getting to the property and settling in seamlessly. Marlon, the caretaker, was pleasant and very helpful also. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend the overall experience.

Trevor's place was awesome! Trevor was awesome from the time I booked until the moment he dropped us off. It was just my friend and I and Trevor convinced us to rent one of his car, which was the best thing we could have done. We were on our own time and liked it that way. We felt very safe and Trevor was just a phone call away.

The location of this home in St Ann's was a perfect central location for all of the things we wanted to see in Jamaica. The house was modern and Trevor was there to greet us upon arrival. The home is in a gated community and was very safe. There is a grocery store right at the entrance to the neighborhood that had everything we needed for our stay.

Our stay was great. Pick up to and from the airport was a breeze. A most gracious host. Clean house, grocery store on property similar to Whole Foods, smaller operation. Great location, close to attractions.

Trever was warm and friendly. He was there when we arrived with keys and a smile. He drove us to the beach and the country store so that we could get a sense of the am enemies and surroundings. He even bought us a round of beers! The house is SO clean and nice. Kitchen is well stocked so we did a lot of cooking. There are three big bed rooms and a loft upstairs with two more small beds. You could fit many people comfortably. The pool was great!

Trevor was a fantastic host and took great pride and care in making us feel welcome. He made sure we had groceries and dinner upon our arrival. His pick-up from the airport was a breeze - communication by phone, text and WhatsUp app were all easy options. The home was in a great residential, gated community and delivered on the promised accommodations and cleanliness the photos tell on the website. The pool was a great way to spend a lazy afternoon in the community. The beach an easily accessible option and well kept as well - highly recommend spending time there. I would stay here again without question. I've been recommending this place (and Trevor!) to everyone since I returned home. We rented a car from him and took every opportunity to gallivant around the island. We drove all the way west to Negril and spent time at the Seven Mile Beach and then jumped off the cliffs at Rick's Cafe - well worth the trip! Dunnes River Falls is an easy drive from here as well and highly recommended.

Lovely and quiet area, not far from all major attractions. Basically home from from. Easy to locate. Trevor was very friendly contractable during our stay.

Trevor's place is very clean, cozy and close to everything. The gated community was icing on the cake. I will definitely book with Trevor again!

Trevor is an excellent and accommodating host, willing to help where he can! The house and surroundings are also excellent, it's really a home away from home, fully equipped and very comfortable. Only thing we misted was some comfortable outside furniture, but inside was just perfect. The pool and playground are very nice and it's quite comforting to be in a 24/7 guarded community. It's close to Ocho Rios or attractions but still nice and quiet. We would strongly recommend this house!

We stayed in the lower suite which was nice, fully furnished, and comfortable beds ( though I hear upstairs has a bed and pillows to die for:-)). Location is gorgeous and Irina and everyone there were super warm and welcoming! Irina went out of her way to help us when we were departing, not just giving us better transport information but taking us to the Juta location we needed to go.

Irina and Evgeni's place is everything you can ask for when you are in the Mobay area. The location is on top of the sea, with stunning views and a small beach within walking distance. Their house has everything you need, with their lovely dogs and seabreeze in ur bedroom as a bonus. Be aure sure to listen to Irina's tips. You might find yourself enjoying some amazing jerk chicken :)

Our stay was pleasant. Host was helpful

Don't be fooled by the highway as you approach the turn off to Calypso Villa because away from the road down a small dirt track the wide open vista to the sea opens out in front of you, to the left the main house both grand and palatial, like the holiday home but from another bygone era and to the left a tiny patch of paradise where a hammock sways gently beneath the Akee tree. There we we're greates by Candy and Cookie the resident dogs who are as friendly to the guests as they are not so friendly to the uninvited. Great friends and protectors. Then there is Irina, she has a great knowledge of the island as well as being one of the warmest hosts I've encountered in all my travels (and I travel a lot), she cannot do enough for you and we we're always delighted whenever she called in to see how we were doing. The facilities are excellent, with a supermarket down the road we cooked most nights and on the nights we didn't we grabbed jerk chicken from the roadside cafe (which has the best hot sauce). If you want a taste of real Jamaica stay here, a home from home.

Irina was a great host, flexible with our last minute complications and quick to respond. She was very helpful and tried to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We had a nice stay, enjoyed the water the most, hammock and lounge chairs on a little private beach were amazing for relaxation and reading. We had only few days so we did not rent a car to explore the island but we were content with the beautiful sea, sunshine and no crowds around us! Thank you

Irina was an amazing host when she was there! very welcoming. gave us a phone to use albeit it stopped working. sat diwn wiith us and informed us of all the great places that in JA that we can go to. introduced us to a driver who turned out to be great as he arranged for us to get around. wifi was also very good. the dogs were friendly and followed us around ensuring we were ok.

We had a delightful week at Calypso Villa. Our favorite part was the beautiful scenery right outside our door. We ate breakfast out by the ocean every morning, practiced yoga on the sand, and read in the hammock. The apartment was comfortable and clean. We rented a car and hit a number of Irina's suggestions--her tips were spot on. As parents, we felt like we were able to share an authentic experience with our kids eating local Jamaican food and visiting a number of sites. Of course, we also spent some good time just relaxing at the beach.

Irina is a fantastic host. She is super knowledgable and friendly and will make sure that you have all the information that you need to have a great vacation. We stayed at the apartment for a week on a work-away vacation, so we spent most of our time actually at the apartment and it was suitably equipped for all our needs. The AC in the main bedroom is sufficient to keep the whole house cool if you keep all the windows and doors shut. The best thing about this apartment is that it is right on the beach, you can hear the sea all day and you are just a 5 minute walk to a beach (or 30sec if you don't mind scrambling down some very sharp rocks). Towards the end of our stay we discovered that if you turn right out of the house past the "no trespassing" sign... there is an abandoned house with a nice grass area and a low hanging tree that's really nice and secluded, perfect to sit and read a book with the dogs. You can also walk practically all the way to the Iberostar this way if you are happy to climb over some rocks, and it's a much nicer route than walking down the highway. Speaking of the dogs, Candy and Cookie were a real highlight for us. Whenever we went for a walk, they were sitting on our porch waiting for us to go on an adventure. They love to get pet and play around in the sand in front of the house. I miss them already! A++ Would play with again ;) We spent the majority of our time in the apartment, but if you are planning to do more sightseeing, I would definitely recommend getting a car as the route taxis are an experience, but if you want to do any real exploring, a car is a must.

Had a lovely time. The veiw was fantastic and apartment very nice and comfortable. Great place to snorkel. Wonderful staff.

Susannah is great - communicated well, and her apartment is lovely. We rented her unit VERY last minute on Christmas Eve, and she still responded to messages within minutes and made sure the complex's security guard had the key for us. The unit is wonderful - has a balcony overlooking the sea, and the building is right on the edge of the land such that the balcony is actually out over the water. Beautiful, and a very cool effect. Also the beach is literally a 1-minute walk away! I highly recommend Susannah's place.

Simply amazing! Stunning view!! The condo had all of the amenities we needed and we felt very safe having 24/7 security. Mavis and Mr. Nelson were very helpful but not intrusive. It was great to have Brandon on the beach as he took care of us. Susannah quickly replied to all of my questions during the booking process and entire stay, which made our lives much easier. Overall, we appreciated experiencing real Jamaican culture staying here.

This place has the best view ever and located near everything. Super safe and just beautiful helpers.

Susannah's place was really great, highly recommended. The balcony and ocean views are amazing. Centrally located - we had a very pleasant stay.

It was a great stay in Ocho Rios, and Susannah was great! The location is pretty good, and the view is just perfect, right above the blue ocean. Mr Nelson & Ms Mavis will take care of everything to you during your stay, so you can feel safe and relax drinking few Red Stripes.

Susannah’s place was an enormous disappointment. It was certainly not as advertised. While the view is spectacular, the condo itself is old and run down. Plates, glasses and cooking utensils are worn out and sparse if you are planning to cook. The condo was dirty (e.g. hair in shower, dirty floors, cobwebs on ceilings, etc.). The linens are worn and thread-bare. Tears are hand-stitched on the pillow cases. There was no extra toilet paper, no clean sponges and only two bath towels for two people (no spares and no soap for the washing machine). The beach is small and crowded with people from cruise ships. Beach chairs are broken and unusable. I am not a stranger to Jamaica. I grew up there and have visited frequently since. However, Susannah’s place was difficult to relax in and enjoy. We cut our visit short by two nights and went to seek accommodations elsewhere. Finally, the couple who take care of the condo (Mr. Nelson and Mavis) are quite elderly. While they had good intentions, their help felt intrusive. Mavis insisted on walking the aisles with us at the supermarket, commenting on our food choices, and ultimately helping herself to candy bars at checkout without our knowledge. At the open market, when we balked at paying $21 for five mangoes and two papayas, she again insisted we follow her around the market seemingly intent on proving that she had better bargaining skills than originally demonstrated. This might seem like a kindness, but it certainly did not feel like one. It ate up hours of our morning and left us feeling quite uncomfortable. Nevertheless, we tipped the two for their time as Susannah suggested. In short, I would not recommend this condo. There are others in the complex for half the price of this one.

The apartment has an amazing uninhibited view of the ocean. Snorkeling the coral right out your door is not to be missed! Also the blue hole was tricky to find but was certainly well worth the excursion. The apartment was described very well in the description. Miss Mavis and Mr Nelson are two of the most genuine people you will meet. They helped make us feel welcome in Ochie, one of our favorite spots in Jamaica. The beach right down the hill features friendly locals who are willing to help you change a tire or just hang out. If you want to go scuba diving, contact Garfield Scuba Center. They can pick you up at this beach. The restaurant next store is amazing. It is easier to get there by water - that place is well hidden from main street. It was worth the wade. Being right in town allowed us to experience the real Jamaica by shopping in their grocery stores and eating in small cookeries off the main drag.

Thanks for everything.. James is an iron chef! Great food, company and amazing views overlooking the island from 800 feet above sea level that will have me wanting to come back again in the near future. Thanks again! 10/10

My stay with James and his family at their beautiful villa was amazing. They were very welcoming helped me find everything without a problem. I would definitely stay my next trip to Jamaica. 10 out of 10 experience!

What a hidden gem!!!Highly recommended!!! This is a great, well maintained house, spotlessly clean, very spacious, comfortable, and located in a peaceful area, up in the hills of Montego Bay. We were doing a trip all over Jamaica, starting with runaway bay and negril, our final stop was in Montego Bay and we stayed at the Water field Retreat for 2 nights. We loved it here so much! The pictures do no justice to this place just truly how beautiful this place really is. James and his family are great people and host; their 2 dogs Vibes and Cookie are very nice as well. Cookie makes you melt and it was a treat to have her around. We needed these two nights just to be at peace and this place provided that to us. The best part is in the evening to watch the sunset that’s just simply beautiful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. There is no greater value.

This place was wonderful. I stayed there with my sister and 2 friends. It's a very cozy and secluded location with amazing views. With it being secluded, transportation became our biggest expense. James and his wife were pleasantly hospitable and welcoming. I wish I could have stayed a little longer!

Pictures can't do this place justice! Such an amazing place with very accommodated hosts. If you are looking for a secluded villa retreat that's away from the loud scenic of Jamaica then this place is for you! The view is a jaw-dropping scene that you will never get tired of looking at which overlooks Montego Bay. Very relaxing place to unwind. It is a rocky road up to the villa but at the end, it is totally worth the wait. Arrange with James to have him pick you up so you can relax and not stress on how to get there. The villa itself is breathtaking, the mountain view from your balcony is stunning. James also has a top notch menu that you can order from $10-30 US for any meal prepared by James, as an added bonus you always receive extra items with your meal! I had such an amazing time with my husband and we can't wait to go back, We couldn't ask for anything more!

My husband & I docked in Montego Bay from the Carnival Freedom cruise ship. We had a desire for a quite, private day, away from the other 4,000 people on the boat. The ship excursions were pricey, so we thought outside the box! "Wonder what AirBNB's are available?" We found a lovely agritourismo, as they say in Italiano, where a family of 4 from the UK lives & works the land with the help of a few Jamaicans. James picked us up at the port & took us on an informative drive up the mountain to their break taking 180 degree views of "Mo Bay", as they call it. From their terraces you are able to see both sunrise & sunset. Their awesome dogs Cookie & Vibes greeted us & gave us our "dog fix" while we were away from our own. De served us fresh fruit from their garden & coffee as we took in the views from the deep-seated leather furniture & were refreshed by the ocean breeze & ceiling fan. We quickly changed into our bathing suits in the clean & well-decorated apartment & went for a refreshing swim in their large, deep pool. James served us drinks of Red Strip & Ting, a grapefruit Jamaican soda - it was delicious! A a storm rolled in over the mountain we realized in their custom & locally made white oak patio chairs & dozed off as the wind blew & the thunder rolled. James, a sought after chef from London, made us a meal of garlic rosemary chicken and 7 side almost completely sourced from their own land! We sat at a custom made white oak table that overlooked the huge picture windows as the rain came down. We swam in the rain & curled up on the sofa with good books & a cup of English tea served by De & James' 14 y/o son after he returned from school. We also had great conversation with James, De & Ty, their 16 y/o about life on the island, business, politics & their vision/plans for their 20 acres atop this beautiful mountain. Far too soon, James drove us down the mountain & delivered us to the port gate where we joined the thousands of sun burned & intoxicated guests, knowing that we had a far more relaxing day. We can't wait to return & see how De, with her interior design background, makes this oasis even better!

This is the place! The place you want to be at for some real relaxation. I could make a long list of all the positives, but I think the pictures speak for themselves. James and De are the perfect hosts, together with their lovely dogs. We couldn't have asked for more when passing through Mobay.

James' place had amazinggggg view! Although it is hard to find and can be hard to drive to, the view is worthy. Perfect for a relaxing vacation. Guests can ask James to cook for you. You then can enjoy delicious fresh self-harvested vegetable and roast chicken with the stunning view. They only have wifi in the common living room area but you are there to relax so it shouldn't be a big deal. Cookie, the dog, is cute and will follow you around wherever you go :). My friend and I had a great stay at James' place and we will stay there again!

The apartment is gorgeous (and very clean) with an amazing view! Raquel went above and beyond the duties of host. I highly recommend the rooftop pool at sunset!

Raquel was wonderful and very accommodating. I didn't notice the neighbor's dogs that had been mentioned in previous reviews. My husband and I ate dinner at Peppas across the street from Raquel's place. The food was great and reasonably priced. We had breakfast at the hotel which was a less than 5 min walk. Raquel also arranged for us to travel to Trelany(sp) at Martha brae river for water rafting. Overall it was a great calm relaxing two days. Wish we could have stayed longer. We also enjoyed sitting on the roof and enjoying the view.

Raquel is a great host and is very responsive. We arranged it with her to meet her at the airport, that's really kind and helpful of her, we really appreciate it! Anything we needed to know, we just sent her a message and within no time we had a reply. We needed to make a change to the booking and this was done without any problem which helped our plans loads. The apartment is spacious and bright and equipped with all you'll need such as beach towels and bath towels. The rooftop terrace and pool is such a nice thing to have so central in town. The view over the lush hills and to the sea is lovely! This was a great base to see Montego Bay. We walked twice to Doctor's Cave beach which is around 20 mins walk. At night we took taxis from the main road down to the 'hip strip' to eat. Peppa's restaurant and bar opposite the apartment is a sweet place to go. It's an outdoors restaurant with a tree bar and covering. All in all we had a great stay!

Peaceful Jamaican Oasis With A Great View!!! Raquel's place is amazingly relaxing for those looking for something totally different than the hustle and chaotic fun of the all inclusives (not a knock on those places!). If you like a "room with a view" just sitting in the living area watching the planes cruise across the blue water heading to land is a very peaceful activity. We spent a few hours a day in that room with the windows open and the Jamaican Breeze filling the place with total freshness. Paul, Raquel's driver was very accommodating to our lack of scheduled activities! He was also a great source of info on many things and even made me a CD of some older Reggae I wanted from the 80's! How freaking cool is that? We've traveled to Jamaica many times since the mid-90s and this was by far the most relaxing and satisfying trip. The place is extremely clean and nicely appointed. Clean and line fresh linen and towels. Not fussy or congested with to much furniture, which is what we prefer. If you have a desire to invite friends over, not a problem. There is enough room for a small gathering and the pool area carved into the hill is a great place to congregate - with another amazing view! We spent some time across the street a Peppa's for a couple of meals in the evenings and once for lunch. Great food - try the whole red snapper! We also got great advice from Paul on places to get great jerk chicken, ox-tails, and other local favorites. Joan, the housekeeper was very nice and accommodating also. Although we did not need her once we settled in, she made it clear that if we needed anything or could not connect with Paul to give her a ring on her cell. Yep, great service all the way around! I highly recommend Raquel's place for those just looking for a place to get away and truly relax island style without interruptions! Can't wait to return!! Herb & Onzie

One of the nicest spot i've been so far. The house is clean an lovely! The spot is Perfect!!! We felt in love with this place. 10-20min walk to the Beach. Restaurant just arround the corner. Raquel is a kind and caring Person and will do her best to make your stay as great as possible. Thanks a lot and see you next time:)

This place is really wonderful. My girlfriend and I stayed for five nights and had a great time. The apartment is very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The view from both the living room and the rooftop pool is breath-taking. The pool was very well kept and a great place to lounge without other people bothering you. Right across the street, Peppa's restaurant was delicious and had a really cool atmosphere (almost all outdoor seating). We made the walk to Doctor's Cave beach a few times. It's about 20 minutes downhill, very doable, and lets you walk through the hip-strip. You have to dodge salesmen, but that kind of comes with the territory. People will try to sell you things, but if you respectfully decline, they will respectfully back off. Doctors Cave Beach is as advertised, beautiful. The walk back requires a little more effort (uphill), we did it twice but then had a taxi take us a third time. Can't say enough good things about Raquel. She is such a gracious host. She sets you up with anything you need, picked us up from the airport, was incredibly easy to communicate with, provided a phone for use in the country, recommended all the best excursions and restaurants, she was really a pleasure. Same goes for Paul the taxi driver. Paul is a rasta and lives by it. He's incredibly friendly and will take care of you. We chose this place in an effort to avoid the "bubble" of the all-inclusive resorts, and we got exactly what we wanted. We got to interact a little more with Jamaicans and the actual atmosphere. We felt safe the whole time and had a wonderful vacation. Thanks Raquel and Paul!

Raquels place have the best pool in town I am sure! The pictures does not lie! In fact it is even better in person. Raquel was very helpfull with everything we might need, she even picked us up from the aurport, drove us to a local restaurant and drove us shopping before we went to the apartement. Paul the driver is a rastaman and he was extremely polite and funny! But remember to discuss about prices for driving before you go. All in all it was the best stay we could imagine and jamaicans are friendly and warm. There is even a really cheap and good restaurant right across the street Where both locals and tourists eat. The pasta there was the best I had in a long time! Thank you Raquel and Paul!

It's was ALL great and I will be back !!! Raquel was awesome

Hans was very helpful and responsive throughout the stay. The house has a gorgeous view and refreshing ocean breeze, and is nice and spacious. Two factors we overlooked were no internet and no warm water, but you can get by without both and we had a wonderful stay. If I go back to Treasure Beach, this is where I will stay!

This house is just amazing, we were looking for somewhere to relax for a few days to stay somewhere rural and quiet and that is exactly what we got! Sara is really nice and welcoming, we even got to go out Lobster Fishing with her boyfriend Roneal which was really different.

When we came to Jamaica we had booked the Hilton in Montego Bay. But I have to admit that it was such a relief driving down to the Southern part and find the Barukambe house, the staff and people managing it are super kind, answer questions, help out with shopping and cooking. We bought fish and lobsters from local fishermen, went swimming at the local beach and you'll find great restaurants like Jack Sprat and the Jakes which are less than 5 min away from the house, there is also a great beach 10 min away in car called the Cove. We have 3 small kids and only reminder is to encourage that you bring bug repellant or your own mosquito nets since you are close to nature :) We are already looking into another Jamaica trip in May and will definitely be back.

Barukamba stunned my girlfriend and I when we saw it in person. The views are perfect and the home had everything. We had a fairly rough journey on our way to Treasure beach, but as soon as we arrived Sarah greeted us very kindly and Hans even stopped by to talk to us. I can't recommend this place enough for getting away from a busy city. Cooking dinner and drinking wine on the patio every night with more stars than this American has ever seen in person. Everything was provided as far as towels, bedding, cooking supplies, and the list goes on. Make sure you listen to Hans' directions if you're making the drive yourself; (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)maps won't help you too much outside of the big cities.

My husband and I absolutely loved Barukamba and Treasure Beach! This house is amazing and the area is too! We have been to Jamaica 4 times and the last few trips have been to Negril, which we also love. We ended our last trip with 5 nights at Barukamba and it was amazing! We loved the house, the views, the goats, the kids running around and the people of Treasure Beach! And of course, Sarah and her family were wonderful! Sarah was very friendly and helpful. Our only regret is not having her cook for us more. We had her cook for us on our last night and it was delicious! Next time we visit, we'll definitely have her cook more often. Actually, I feel like I should give a bad review so it will be easy to keep coming here in the future ;) Our communication with Hans was always pleasant and he was helpful answering any questions we had. If you are not a person who enjoys being "one with nature", this is not the place for you!

We were picked up at the agreed as Mobay airport and transferred for the agreed amount to the property. Has everything Hans governed entirely unproblematic. we were welcomed by Sarah on site and they showed us the accommodation and support us in all and helped with everything. Alone Sarah is a dream of a people. They make you feel right at home and we have experienced three fantastic weeks there. We can only recommend Barukamba all who want a great vacation, far away from mass tourism spend.

Really enjoyed our stay! The house is so interesting and different. It was very well ventilated, which makes a big difference in summer! We certainly got a very warm welcome and Sarah often checked to ensure we were ok. The location is great, right opposite a lovely long beach, which we had entirely to ourselves. It very quiet, but perhaps a bit far from town if you dont have a car. Will definitely be back soon

Everything was amazing...the house is straight out of a Game of Thrones (URL HIDDEN) original and breathtaking...built right into the cliffs and a view to die for on the deck! Will def be back!

I really like this place it was like my home away from home. It was modern and updated. The free wifi and the International calling was very good for me to stay in touch with my family. The book had all the information we needed about stuff we would need. I would definitely stay here again.

lisa marie and ann marie were very nice and helpful!!! always available when needed!!! the stay was great!!! looks just like the pictures. nice quiet area close to local supermarkets and eating places... I will book again in the future!!! thanks again for everything.

I'm a skeptic when it comes to the unknown but was pleasantly surprised with my Pemberly experience. The apartment is picturesque and an exact replica of pictures viewed. I arrived a bit later than expected and was greeted by Nick (exceptional host) who gave me the tour and was always just a phone call or text message away. All amenities needed are on location (refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer, wifi, cable, phone etc.). Restaurants and entertainment are at most a 5 - 10 mins drive. The value is definitely worth it. I've stayed at all the top hotels in Kingston and Pemberly would definitely be my overall choice. It is a home away from home and I look forward to my next trip.

Our host was Anna Marie. She was very friendly and informative. The apartment was very cozy and spacious and very efficent. The stores and resturants were within walking distance and very accessable. The area is very quiet and peaceful. It was really a home away from home.

My stay at the Pemberly was awesome, Nick was an excellent host the area was very quiet and secure. The apartment was very clean and inviting, it had all the amenities that one could want in a vacation rental. The free WiFi and international calling was also a plus. I felt like I was at home away from home, looking forward to my next stay.

Wow is all I can say, excellent location, excellent staffing, pics don't lie can't wait to return. Thank you so much.

It's my pleasure to say that my time at Monique and Nick's apartment was wonderful

The apartment was great. The description of all aspects of the apartment were accurate and Nick was very responsive when called upon.

Better than the pictures! We weren't sure what to expect but it was better than we could have imagined. Serene was extremely helpful and made sure we always had transportation to and from restaurants and nightlife. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Serene's place was amazing. The villa is located in a gated community giving us a beautiful view of the beach and surrounded by great restaurants (walking distance). The home itself is very beautiful and clean just as pictured on the site. Serene not only welcomed us upon arrival but was there any time we needed her helping with activities and even making reservations. The Villa is accompanied with glass sliding doors to a beautiful spacious back yard comfortable couches not to mention the bed with fresh white sheets and comforters that's as soft as cotton and the half glass shower door is amazing. WiFi, washer/dryer, cooking supplies, teas and snacks are all available. There's a gym, yoga class and playground for children on site. We'll definitely stay here our next trip to Jamaica!

Serene was a great host!!! Not only did she pick us up from the bus station but she took the time out to show us around the area as well as the complex. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner and made sure we were well taken care of. The place was exactly as pictured, a beautiful gated community with an amazing air conditioned room, an infinity pool, and on the marina. The place is very clean, peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for! Conveniently located by the new Hard Rock Cafe with beach access as well! Love this place and would highly recommend!

Serene was waiting to welcome us - even though it was late - and took the time to show us around the apt. Decor, condition, amenities - were all top-notch. Pool, gym, play-ground all got used, and enjoyed. This was my first time booking via Airbnb and the experience was pleasant, painless, efficient. Thanks Serene, we will be back.

Serene is a great host. The apartment is beautiful, very clean, well kept and I felt very comfortable. Serene was very responsive at all times and made several suggestions for food and things to do. I was very impressed with the entire experience. I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend to others.

Serene is a great, great host and her place is so nice, clean and quiet. Very nice pool area and a terrace perfect for a late night drink. She helped us with everything we needed during our stay. Will recommend the restaurant Magic Thai, that delivered to our door. She fixed us a driver who took us to Blue Hole Falls by Ocho Rios, a great day! Hope to come back to Mobay, and know where we gonna stay!

I loved Serenes place and the location. It looked exactly like the pictures exactly. Serene was very helpful and coordinated our pick/up drop off to have dinner at the boat house restaurant. I would definitely rent this place again.

The unit is just as pictured. The unit was immaculate and the most comfortable place we have ever stayed. It felt like home to us!

We have been welcomed very warmly by Jennifer and the rest of the staff. Travelling for 2 weeks along the northern coast, we are able to say that claudias property has been the nicest and most comfortable air bnb accommodation we could find. the rooms are comfortably furnitured and lovely decorated. Complimentary snacks and drinks were provided and the food made by jennifer was overall delicious. we had a great time relaxing at the poolside or just hanging around and enjoying the beautiful outlook onto the sea. Sometimes During the night the adjacent road was a little noisy. but as earplugs were provided we could sleep right away. All in all we definately recommend to visit this beautiful cottage. Unfortunately claudia has no vacancies for the end of our trip. otherwise we would have come back right away. Thanks for hosting us!

Unbelievably wonderful experience. Better than any five star all inclusive hotel. Host makes you feel so special that I was amazed this was not some big name hotel or villa. The accommodation was also excellent and so was the food. I will definitely tell others about this wonderful experience because this place deserves to be visited by all. Well done and keep up the fabulous job!!!

Claudia's place at Boscobel is lovely. The nice studio has everything you may need and more to feel at home and super comfortable. The garden is beautiful as well as the gallery area. Most importantly all the help and kind attention that i received from Jennifer. Sandra's cooking is worth of a 5 star restaurant and the best i had during my week in Jamaica. They recommended Dave, a great local driver that showed me around and had the nice idea to take me to Firefly (i highly recommend visiting Noel Coward's house) through the hills so i could see the most beautiful countryside. I travelled solo, and this was a great place to be where i got to visit the area but also spent time relaxing and doing some work at Claudia's. Thanks so much!

I stayed at Claudia's for a week in early March on a solo trip to Jamaica and I couldn't have done better. Claudia's staff Jennifer and Sandra and John are all so friendly and thoughtful and they helped me get along on the island and prepared one of the best meals I had on the island. The place is truly idyllic. The cottages are clean and safe and the garden is filled with a lush variety of exotic fruit and flowering trees. And I was lucky to have the place all to myself during my week there.

We cannot recommend staying at Claudia's warmly enough! Impeccable communication before arrival, delicious dinner when we arrived after long flights and first mornings super tasty breakfast included. Jen and the rest of the team at the property showed so much warmth and care throughout our stay - helping us find our way around the North Coast, travel onward to Kingston, brought us patties, fruits and even picked up meals when we came home tired after a long day out and about. Also, we were greeted by a welcome basked packed with local goodies and got a sweet farewell gift! The cottage is beautiful with stunning views of the ocean, a nice pool and hammock to enjoy although we spent most time at the lovely balcony. James Bond beach is just a short route taxi ride away - be sure to check it out, rent a SUP board or kayak and have local food from the main road. Thank you so much for making our first week in Jamaica so memorable, we definitely hope to come back!

An absolutely incredible stay. I felt welcomed, safe, comfortable, pampered, and relaxed the whole weekend! We spent four nights here with my parents. My husband and I were in one villa and my parents in another. We had the whole place to ourselves and felt absolutely spoiled, and wouldn't have picked any other place on the entire island to stay! It felt like we were staying at our own private resort. Jennifer, the hostess, was an incredible person who was there 24-hours a day, ready to greet us, answer any questions, make us coffee, etc. She even helped put together a little celebration for my husband's birthday; we planned for just a cake but she put together a whole meal! I was really blown away by her generosity. We will probably go back one day because it was just such a relaxing getaway. Unfortunately it rained the whole weekend and was very windy, we were dealing with the tail end of Hurricane Otto, but it didn't matter. We still enjoyed the view and the breeze coming up from the ocean. Dinner and breakfasts were on the enormous verandah that overlooks the ocean and it is a spectacular location. The whole property is immaculate, it has a beautiful layout and looks brand new. Everything must be well-kept because there was no damage or decay of any kind: no cracks, no mold, no wear and tear anyway, I was really surprised! It is supremely well-kept. Unfortunately, no beach access and you MUST have a car if you plan on going anowhere. Highlights were Dunns Falls, James Bond Beach, and an hour and a half drive to Frenchman's Cove. A word to the wise, everything is FAR... but we didn't mind and had a lot of fun exploring the North East part of the island as much as we could, especially since we like to do a little driving around when we travel. After a long, two-hour drive from the airport to what seemed like the middle of nowhere, we weren't sure what to expect for our weekend stay when we first arrived in Jamaica, but when we pulled into the house and saw how fantastic it was, it really made the drive worthwhile. In fact, I think this place really made our whole weekend special and worthwhile, and would highly, highly recommend staying here.

This is one of the best places that I have stayed. The room looks better than the pictures. The view is amazing. The pool is wonderful. And best yet, the hospitality is incredible. We loved the special touches of the welcome basket and the complimentary dinner on arrival and breakfast. Jennifer is a gracious and welcoming host on site. We enjoyed talking with Lucien as well. We always felt welcome, safe, and relaxed. I truly wish this were my home! I cannot recommend this place enough. You will be very happy to have stayed here. I was!

The name is really fitting for this property. The physical beauty of the place is only surpassed by the exceptional, warm, enthusiastic treatment that Mrs Claudia, Ms Hamilton and the rest of her staff provides. Everything is exactly as it appears on the pictures, they are so caring, understanding, and will go above and beyond to please and satisfy their guests. The only regret is not having planned enough days at this property. The few days we spent there were by far our most relaxed, comfortable and pampered days of our trip on the island. Without hesistation , idyllic cottages is highly recommended if you want to experience courtesy and heartfelt, and genuine treatment which makes your stay superb. Thank you so much from the innermost depths of our hearts Miss Claudia and Miss Hamilton. We can't wait to return as soon as possible.... Roland and Anika
