Wow! This place was great and just as described in the pictures. Neville was easy to talk to and sent great directions. The caretaker Paulette was very easy going, lovely and helpful. We stayed at an all inclusive before heading to the Guest house and we enjoyed the more authentic Jamaican experience of staying locally than at the resort. I am looking forward to going there again and highly recommend this place. The locals were are friendly and helpful. We did not get enough Jamaican dollars upon arrival but the local grocery store (just 2 minute walk away) was more than helpful with exchanging our american dollars but definitely wasn't set up for them. There was a pass to a private beach included with the rental and it was about a 15 - 20 minute walk down the road but well worth it. We even had a stingray show up in the waters out front. We had the most wonderful trip! Thank you so much Neville for opening your home to us and letting us enjoy this experience! :D

Todo salió muy bien con Neville y su lugar. Era un apartamento con excelentes vistas, especialmente desde el techo. No usamos el spa en el techo, pero que cuelgan hacia fuera hasta allí por las noches era muy agradable. La playa en frente de la casa no es ideal para nadar, ya que no es demasiado profunda y tiene una gran cantidad de rocas y algas. Bajamos por el camino a la playa privada, sin embargo, que Neville nos dio acceso a, y que fue genial nadar. Paulette, el gerente local, era agradable y servicial. Estacionamiento en la noche era un poco complicado, pero con la ayuda de Paulette, que salió a pedir de boca. Wifi era genial, y la cocina tenía todos los electrodomésticos. Hay un divertido, tienda de comestibles agitado a pocos pasos del apartamento donde podíamos encontrar todo lo que necesitábamos. Probamos los restaurantes que recomienda Neville y estaban bastante bien; Scotchies definitivamente ganó el primer premio. Neville era muy agradable y llamó a hacer el check in en nosotros después de que nos registramos, y estaba disponible para Paulette si necesitaba ponerse en contacto con él. Parecía más cómodo hablar por teléfono que el correo electrónico, así que tal vez en contacto con él directamente de esa manera. Al ver Jamaica por el alquiler de un apartamento en lugar de uno de los complejos conduce a una experiencia muy diferente a medida que salir en las carreteras y calles más y conocer gente local. Los turistas a volver a los barcos de crucero antes de que oscurezca, y usted tiene que ver el lado más auténtico del país. Sin duda, recomiendo Neville, Jamaica, y su apartamento.

Bel appartement propre avec une belle vue sur l'océan de l'appartement et de la terrasse du toit. J'y suis allé avec 2 amis (sans enfants) et a eu amplement d'espace. Il est un peu hors des sentiers battus ... dans une ruelle de trottoir à l'eau. Super pour un crash pad assez économique que vous explorez belle Jamaïque. A un bon restaurant bio, jerk cabane de poulet et bar juste un bloc vers le bas avec un personnel amical. La plage est naturel, pas trop vierge. chiens bienvenus autour de la propriété. Parking fonctionnait bien avec Rico qui a également aidé à nous guider dans la ville.

My family and I loved Neville's beach house. The views were spectacular. There is nothing better than waking up each morning to the sound of waves outside your window. Being able to watch the sunrise/sunset from the roof was breathtaking. The house was in great shape and the amenities made us feel as if we were home. The neighbors were very welcoming, friendly, and hospitable. The location of the house was perfect. A supermarket and restaurant within walking distance and about a 25 minute drive to Ochi. Paulette assisted us whenever we had questions or needed help. This is definitely a place where we will revisit in the future.

Great House and Location!!!

The house sites right on a really pretty beach that while not good for swimming still offers a beautiful view to enjoy your coffee by and to have a sunset beer by. It is very private with only fishermen in sight. The house was clean and comfortable with hot water, plenty of towels and all the small appliances we needed to make ourselves breakfast. The access to the local beach was perfect and an easy walk or drive. Runaway bay is very quiet with not much nightlife, but we had a great time hanging out at local spots such as Yummy Vegan restaurant, Sharkies and Flavours. It was a great spot for my group of non-spring-break friends who wanted to experience real Jamaica not some insulated all-inclusive resort! Nevill wa super helpful in our pre-departure, and Paulette made sure we were looked after while we were there.

Ungenau

Notre séjour était génial. Paulette était très serviable et sympathique comme cela a été Rico et une autre aide, je ne me souviens pas de son nom désolé. Il est très agréable et tout fonctionnait. La plage était belle mais pas bonne pour la baignade. La plage privée était ok, mais Flavors Beach était le meilleur. Le restaurant de l'autre côté de la rue était bon et bien trop cher. Partout où nous avons mangé était bon. J'ai vraiment aimé sentir comme un local et ainsi accueilli. Paulette et moi avons continué à parler sur (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) et son agréable d'avoir un nouvel ami.

This is a beautiful property -- would love to stay here again! Pros: - Gorgeous view - Nice pool (although they were filling it the day we arrived, so I don't know what the normal state of it is) - Lots of space to spread out - There are a fun pair of lovebirds in a cage that is built into the walls of part of the house. - The housekeeper took us on a walk out back to see all of the various fruit trees growing on the hill. - The ability to take a hot shower is a bonus, for Jamaica. The master bathroom shower is enormous. - The two bedrooms with an adjoining door were perfect for my parents, who often have to sleep in separate beds due to health issues. - Most importantly, I have had EXTREME difficulty booking properties in Jamaica through this site and others, but Mr. Dussard was an exception and was easy to deal with, without canceling or messing up my booking. Things to be aware of: - The road is VERY bad (we had to convince our driver to keep going) - There was no drinkable water when we arrived. We were told not to drink the tap and there wasn't any boiled or bottled in the fridge, so we had to boil our own and wait for it to cool. So, pack water. - The caretaker and housekeeper were very nice but the hovering made it hard to feel like we had much privacy as we would suddenly realize someone else was in the house. For us, if we'd been asked if we needed a housekeeper during our one-night stay, we'd have said no. I'm sure future guests could communicate their desires about this.

Loved this place. Lots of room, clean , great pool, Lisa's cooking was awesome and Junior was helpful. Would like to return someday.

Just as was described ,beautiful home with a gorgeous (URL HIDDEN) family and I enjoyed our stay.it was a home away from home.Junior did a good job in keeping the yard in good condition .I would definitely return there in the future.

Lovely, spacious home, offering great views of the surrounding countryside. The home is beautifully appointed and the staff are excellent. Alicia the cook/housekeeper saw to our every need, going above and beyond in many instances to ensure our stay was enjoyable. I forgot my cellphone and Alicia rushed to get it to me at the airport traveling more than an hour and a half! Roger our host, was accommodating of our myriad, ever changing requests and extra guests. Take his warning about the state of the road leading up to the house seriously however, It's not for the faint of heart!

Roger's home was worth every penny and every bump in the road. If you are not familiar with Jamaica you don't really understand why the roads are not finished. However, once we got to the house it brought us a sense of security! Alicia was so amazing she treated us as family, she made everything we requested, was polite, and brought back all of our receipts for food and groceries! Her cuisine is better than any local restaurant you could go to. She made us tea several times and our friends got to try Corn meal porridge for the first time! JR picked us fresh ackee from the tree for breakfast and kept us knowledgeable about the currency and where to go! The experience over all was by far one that can not be summed up in words, we just anticipate the day we are back and visiting again! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND this house as your next place to stay.

My family stayed at the Pegasus villa for 1 month. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Roger is an excellent host and is very responsive and accommodating. Lisa the house keeper is good but needs to be given very specific instructions. Jumior the groundsman is also very good. We felt safe while staying at the vill. The road the villa is on is extremely bad as was noted in the listing but I was surprised to see just how bad it really was. This is of no fault to Roger as the town has not been maintaining the road. At the very least you will need a four wheel drive car to access the villa. The location of the villa is very good and the pictures are a true representation. The view is amazing! I would recommend staying there.

Roger's home is definitely a vacation home. It's big, open, and you wake up to an amazing view. The house was clean upon arrival and Lisa kept up with the cleaning throughout our week stay, and she did that for 6 people and a baby. Lisa also kept us well fed all week. My family and I had authentic Jamaican cooking all week! She's an amazing cook, and she even made the grocery store trips with us. Lisa definitely was like our sister/Aunty/friend Lisa while we were there, we even pulled her into our domino games lol. And Junior is amazing as well. He is probably the kindest man you will meet. He is beyond polite and helpful. And he's a great cook too! He helped my cousin make some "mannish water". Back to the house - it's beautiful with lots of character. It was a bit hot but we did visit in July so that's expected, but adding AC for these times of the year can make the stay even better. Fans can't do the job of AC especially in the downstairs bedroom, that room get absolutely no breeze. The best room is the one near the pool which I'm happy I claimed because it was the coolest. Be ware of the deep end of the pool if you can't swim, it's deep! But great for careful diving though. If your goal for your vacation is relaxation, eating some good food, waking up to a beautiful view, having attentive hosts, then Roger's place is definitely for you. We did have to have a driver for the week because we were about 20-30 mins from Ochi and all the amazing activities and that can get slightly expensive having to pay for each day, so plan for that, nothing is really walking distance. Our driver Phill did give us great rates though. The road to the villa is very very bad but that's beyond Roger's control, taxis are still willing to go there. All in all, this was an amazing trip and I'll definitely return to Jamaica and Roger's villa.

Villa Pegasus was ...words fail me. The photos don't do it justice. The balcony was long and expansive so that if I wanted to read quietly, while my family swam in the pool, I had a place for peace and privacy. We always ate at the large dining table on the balcony, which had wonderful views of green trees and ocean. We had to force ourselves to leave the house to do the tourist (URL HIDDEN) was TOO comfortable ! The grounds keeper, Junior, was amazing and always appeared when we needed him. Lisa, the housekeeper, was quiet and unobtrusive: we enjoyed her Jamaican meal of jerk chicken, beans/rice and coleslaw for a special event and agree with previous reviews that her jerk chicken was the best that we had on the Island. ( Scotchies a close second ). But back to the Villa: the layout of bedrooms at each corner is perfect. I stayed in the " garden apartment " off the kitchen and was amazed to hear, the next morning, that crabs were boiled and enjoyed ! I didn't hear a thing. The entrance " reception room " is spectacular. The love birds, the turtles, the games room and ...The Pool !! We always stay at homes with a pool but Villa Pegasus has the best pool. It's a regular size with a deep end for diving and we had many games of water volleyball. On a scale of 10, Villa Pegasus rates a 10+ ! Enjoy and spread the (URL HIDDEN) so great to be allowed to share a piece of heaven like this ! Pat ( Ian, Delores, Sarah and Carmen ).

Sherie's place was indeed a home away from home. The place was just as pictured and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. It was quite easy to get around. Taxi's were available at the entrance to the community which was only a 1-2 minute walk from the property. Everything from shops. supermarket, beaches were close by. This was one of our best AirBnB stays.

I really enjoyed the feeling of living in a neighborhood and coming home every night to my own little piece of Jamaica. We loved our stay here. Ms. Althea was a gem! She gave us directions and was a really great guide and wealth of information! It was close to the main road and perfectly placed between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. There is plenty of room and we never felt cramped. I would see that 4 people could stay in the place and never feel cramped. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a home away from home feel to stay here. We really enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Sherie and Ms. Althea for being such wonderful hosts!

I really liked Sherie's place. Myself and my guest felt very welcomed and had a very pleasant stay. The host really put a lot of work into making the accommodation very cosy and modern. Would recommend to other persons :)

My family enjoyed their stay at Sherie's home. The house is renovated beautifully and was immaculate upon arrival. The area is very quiet and safe and within driving distance to beach, shops, and resorts. Sherie and her father were very friendly and accommodating and we would recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the Runaway Bay area.

El lugar de Sherie es precioso y muy impecable. Todo está cerca, lo cual fue genial! Me encanta que la playa estaba cerca, así como restaurantes y actividades. Los globos para mi cumpleaños fue una sorpresa encantadora! Su casa estaba bien surtida y tenía todo lo que necesitaba. La cama era muy cómoda y su casa es un gran ambiente, me sentí muy seguro. Sherie era fácil de comunicarse y se apresuraba a responder. Además, wifi era genial! Este es sin duda un lugar maravilloso para alojarse realmente disfruté de mi viaje a Jamaica! Feliz que elegimos aquí en vez de un hotel, una gran experiencia!

J'aimerais pouvoir donner une critique de 10 étoiles. La maison était très belle et confortable au milieu de tout ce qui était proche du transport. Vraiment ressenti comme une maison loin de chez soi. Je voudrais certainement utiliser cet endroit à nouveau. L'hôte était incroyable et très accommodant comme si j'étais avant 10 étoiles.

The host is great and her family are amazing! They all made me feel so welcome and I soon became part of the fun with the two dogs and the one-eyed cat. The ad was accurate but it was initially described as being close to a private beach. The beach is a good 15 minute walk away and the private section is a further 5 minute walk to access it. I never let that stop me and spent hours there regularly... The neighbourhood is fine, feels safe despite not being in a gated community. It's a lovely house, a massive plus is the reliable Internet which is provided, the brand new shower and the comfortable bed.

Ally e la sua famiglia sono le persone più belle! Erano davvero disponibile durante il check-in e ci hanno fornito con un elenco di luoghi da visitare e cose da vedere. Il frigorifero era fornito con un paio di cose per aiutare a iniziare bene che è stato sicuramente apprezzato. La guest house è sorprendente. Era pulito e aveva tutto avremmo potuto mai avuto bisogno. È una casa a cielo aperto così c'erano anche piccole lucertole che ci ha tenuto compagnia durante la notte. :) Consiglio vivamente questo posto a chiunque vada a Jamaica!

Very comfortable pleasant hosts, very clean all amenities provided "spot on". Quiet location and near enough for exploring the island, and sampling the local cuisine . I would come again......a fantastic place just to unwind. A small sign at the gate would help with location. .....

I highly recommend this place to stay. Very helpful and friendly.

place Ally est très propre et confortable. Il est dans une communauté résidentielle sûre. Il est à environ 1 mile ou 15 min à pied de la plage. Ally avait des œufs, du beurre, du pain, du fromage etc pour nous dans le réfrigérateur. Cela a été très gentil et attentionné de son. Ils sont venus nous chercher à partir du dépôt de bus et nous ont ramenés à un dépôt de bus pour une taxe. Ils nous ont conduits à la plage et épicerie qui était une distance de marche (1 mile) de apt ... sur le chemin du retour de la plage. Les chiens voisins étaient très bruyants.

Very pleasant hosts, nice area, very peaceful. Enjoyed my stay:)

Keisha was very helpful during the booking process. Sharon and Michael at the house were very nice & helpful. Good location, and very good value for money. One pleasant surprise was how well the home WiFi was setup - coverage all over the house and outside - impressive for a house that size. Would recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Olcam Lodge! Sharon and Mikey were very hospitable to me and my family and went out of their way to give us a true Jamaican experience. We arranged for Sharon to prepare traditional Jamaican meals for most nights and it was delicious! With the help of the owner (Keisha) and Sharon, I was able to organize a birthday surprise for my partner and have an authentic Jamaican black (rum) cake and all! Although you'll need to pick up some of the basic (typically complimentary) items like water, coffee, tea, sugar, etc., Mikey was more than helpful with organizing a cab ride to the local market. We used the pool and hot tub every night although the jacuzzi in our room was not in service. We would definitely return to Olcam Lodge and recommend to others. Thanks again to Sharon and Mikey!

NO one made us feel welcome

Schöne Heimat und eine sehr schöne Erfahrung. Carl war ein ausgezeichneter Besitzer, die kaum sichtbar war, die wir mögen. Das Haus und der Pool waren erstklassig. Ich empfehle dieses Hotel.

Meine Familie Aufenthalt im Olcam Lodge war wunderbar. Wir waren für 5 Tage im August 2016 und genossen den Komfort von zu Hause. Die Kinder liebten den Pool und Frau Sharon Kochen war der Mutter nach Hause Kochen erinnert. Alle Probleme, die wir hatten, waren schnell und zu unserer Zufriedenheit abgewickelt. Meine Familie wird auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten.

The overall experience was great. We were warmly greeted upon arrival. The house was clean, spacious and kid-friendly. The only negative was the lack of a/c and fans in the living room and dining areas. The pool and Jacuzzi were a great amenity! The house is about 1/2 mile from the main road where shops and the beach is located. We felt safe and very comfortable here. This was a great experience.

This was a dream come true ! Keisha was so easy and communicative with the booking process. Sharon the house manager is incredible and an amazing chef that i wish we could have had more meals from ! And lovely to talk with ! Michael the on site security is so kind and helpful! The house is a museum of history and a beautiful home. We were in shock. Plus the outside area is gorgeous with lots of native fruit trees etc. ! We will definitely stay again. as we travel there often !

It was lovely house and had an old English home feel (I guess because the owner is English) the kitchen was huge I had preparing my meals in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the living had me cuddled up just drifting off due the comfy sofa. All in all it was a great place will recommend to friends.

immer überprüfen, und überprüfen Sie alles, einschließlich Fotos vor der Buchung. nicht, wie es in den Fotos zu sein schien. nur ein 2-Sterne-Unterkunft

place was clean communication with host was wonderful. I was allowed a very late check-in and out will definitely stay again

Ms. Gee's property was very nice and quaint. The property is located in a very beautiful and rural location, only 15 minutes from Ocho Rios The beach is within walking distance. The apartment has all the necessary appliances and is very clean and comfortable. My fiancee and I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Der Ort ist gut zu halten, die Umwelt wurde ruhig fühlte ich mich sicher und ich war in der Lage um glatt zu erhalten

My family and I really loves the place. Even though Sarah wasn't there her care taker was wonderful and the place was awesome.... We would definitely love to go back again soon. The villa was just as she described it...

my stay was very enjoyable i had family for all over Jamaica pass through and they all had a wonderful time especially enjoying the pool.

Great place!!

It was a pleasure staying at Reef Winds. There was 1 issue, but taken care of quickly; correspondence with Sarah was good. Miss Cislyn, the house keeper, is awesome; kind, welcoming, pleasant. The place is clean and well kept (including the grounds). It had a secure front yard with nice landscaping. The backyard was huge with nice big trees with a swing, which was a plus. The house itself needs some work (roof - I was told there is a plan to re-roof, microwave needed, fridge doesn't cool as good as I would like - seal is broken at door) but the place was very clean and comfortable and safe and that was great in my book. It was a quiet, relaxing, tucked away oasis. I LOVE that each bedroom opened directly to the pool area; and the folding doors that opened up the large living area to the pool deck was GREAT, one of my favorite features – this allowed the breeze to pass through and cool the living room. The master bedroom was a nice size and the 2 smaller bedrooms were adequately sized for other guests or kids. The bathrooms were very clean and recently remodeled; being very clean was an added level of comfort that I like. I would definitely stay here again!

The house is exactly like the pictures with a big backyard, a pool and mango tree, and theres a swing under mango tree that I loved so much. We didn't really like the location, not much happening around there. Ocho Rios is the closest place for fun or tourist attractions. In the house there were some huge bugs that scared me so much. I would say its not really safe, some weird guy was walking in our backyard a couple times. But Sarah was very nice and helpful, even though we didn't get a chance to see her. The housekeeper is a wonderful woman and came every morning to clean the house, and the "pool boy" is a great guy who came sometimes to clean the pool and backyard. So, the house is very clean. So, if you really want have some fun, this is not the place you are looking for. But if you want a quiet place to spend time by yourself or with your family, this place will be great.

Très belle villa avec une grande piscine, cesser de fumer et de détente et de la femme de ménage est une belle femme qui était très serviable et discret. Nous passons un séjour de détente de 5 semaines avec 4 de nos enfants et nous avons exploré la Jamaïque de Mobay à Port Antonio, Kingston (moins de 2 heures de distance) et Nine Mile (dans les montagnes, mais il ne vaut pas y aller). L'un de nos endroits préférés était White River - bleu saut cascade entière, qui est de 35 min. de la villa. Nous allons certainement recommandez cette villa.

We had a 14day trip to jamaica and spent most of the time at the nice house with its beautiful garden and clean and refreshing pool. The house and the garden offer a lot of privacy. Our housekeeper and gardener/pool cleaner were very friendly and helpful. Thanks a lot for this awesome stay! We totally recommend the house!

It is very clean and quite house ideal for families. The location is perfect to visit the main spots in the north cost of Jamaica. The swmming pool and backyard is a plus.

Hot-Box ist ein wunderschönes Haus, mit schönen Menschen und ich bin immer noch traurig, dass ich gehen musste. Das Haus ist makellos, mit modernen, sauberen und geräumigen Zimmern. Ich fühlte mich von dem Moment begrüßte das Tor geöffnet wurde und hatte keine Sorgen für meine gesamten Aufenthalt. Ich vermisse Hören, Riechen, und jeden Morgen auf das Meer zu sehen und wird sehr bald wieder. Martel ging jeden Tag aus dem Weg, um sicherzustellen, dass ich war komfortabel und nichts brauchen. Die Lage ist praktisch mit einer Vielzahl von vernünftigen Ausflüge zur Verfügung.

Hotbox aus Jamaika fühle mich wie ein zweites Zuhause. Gute Lage mit einer entspannten und sicher fühlen. Martel war ein toller Gastgeber und sehr zuvorkommend.

Abi era un ottimo padrone di casa! Molto cordiale e accogliente. Se vuoi stare vicino a ocho rios, questo è il posto dove stare! Bar / ristorante carino vicino anche.

Wir waren für ein paar Nächte und waren begeistert. Martell war unglaublich hilfsbereit und haben unseren Aufenthalt etwas Besonderes. Der Ort liegt in der Nähe ein paar Restaurants und ein wenig Supermarkt, aber es ist nur in einer kleinen Stadt. Der Strand ist ein großes Plus auch :)

Wow I will miss HB Jamaica. The house was clean and well kept. My room was comfortable as well the AC in the room was nice and cold when needed. Martel was was ever present to assist with anything I needed. Sometimes I wouldn't even see him but he was in the background making sure my stay was relaxing and wonderful. Mama, God bless her, the true expression of Jamaica. Kind, hard working and always focused on on making sure that I was taken care of. Passion kept me well fed with authentic Jamaican food.

Smooth place to stay. Clean and well equiped rooms! A great location to hang around and relax.

Come stay, relax, let your hair down, smoke, sleep, and smoke some more. Hotbox isn't fancy. The rooms are simple, but if you're like me, you won't spend much time there. The property has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is safe and so is the property. Nothing like having the ocean steps away from where you stay. Let me tell you about the swing in the front...um, it's mine, keep off, lol. Just kidding, you'll love it! Make sure to take a tour or two with Martel and Smokey will give you great conversation when he's not working. Step outside your comfort zone and enjoy!! I did!

Abi's place is a secret gem. We stayed here two days prior to meeting a wedding party at an all inclusive resort and I'd say this place was cleaner than the resort. Communication via email was clear and quick. Our host was accommodating and available for anything. Martel made us the best tasting omelette I've ever tasted! Not even a 5 minute stroll down the road is a local grocery store and ATM which we got good exchange rate (don't exchange at airport!). This place is real chill. You can have as much privacy as you like or be social is the common areas. I think the best part our stay was the beach. It literally is beachfront - steps away from the private beach. We brought our beach mat and just enjoyed the waves of the ocean. Compared to the typical resort stay, this beach was couple of feet from our room, private, no one bothering you trying to sell you something. Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing.. this is how I'll remember this place.

Amazing house, could comfortably sleep 12 people with AC. Right beside a scuba shop and seafood restaurant less than a minute walk down the beach. 2 grocery stores withing 5 min walk. Odette made amazing meals for 9 people and it was very affordable. 24h security was very friendly and helpful. Large private beach was our favourite part of the house! The pool was great as well. Would highly recommend!

Oh, where do I begin-- Come with me as I take you through an adventurous thrill that was beyond anything I could have visioned; but, a higher power saw my great need and Answered: 'Odette'. Firstly, have you ever tried planning a funeral or any event while three thousand miles away from the venue? Well, with my sympathetic nervous system into high gear; I had such a task -- plan my beloved soul-mate "Going Home Rites and Burial". When I booked the 'Retreat' I had no idea the tremendous force my host, Merlyn, played when she dropped a hint about having the best cook in the world for an additional charge, 'Odette', her GoTO resource at Runaway Retreat". Well, was I in for a shock, not only is Odette the absolute best cook in the world; but, oh, she is so much more - a one-stop consultant/solution provider, planner, organizer, group leader with an abundant command of the needed business savvy to steer any project from inception to implementation. Odette singlehandedly took the rein in hand and didn't slow until she had constructed and laid out the blue-print of what had to be in place, making the arrangements as well as all of the details that went into making the events as highly organized and smoothly executed as they were. Just minutes after first speaking with her she put together and sent me a Budget for the events as well as an organized itinerary for all phases of the events along with delegations of the appropriate personnel to head each phase with duties, responsibilities and resources. Odette made what no doubt would have been an otherwise anxiety laden experience one of such elation and awe that though not stopping for sleep or rest for three days we all moved with pep and vigor swaying to the conscious lyrics that flowed from the musical department. To witness Ms. Odette in operation as she command the respect and support of the entire Runaway Retreat staff and all those who played a role; be it from the fishermen with whom she made arrangements to obtain the fishes, folks to buy a goat or two from as well as the hundred of pounds of chicken, down to obtaining the many pots needed along with rental of tents and tables, etc was in itself a most valuable lesson. Odette, thank you for taking my plans a couple step up the ladder in a flawless and perfect "So Long" to my Soul Mate(URL HIDDEN)Finally, without Merlyn's Runaway Retreat adding the ideal setting where the various team members assembled to put it all together was icing -- This afforded my young grandson a rear and up close moment whereby he actively participated and witnessed the ritualized cruelty-free slaying of the goats, chickens, breadfruit roasting in the open air under the evening twilight skies of the breadfruit tree and a host of other essential culinary delights that were simultaneously taking place to the pulsating rhythmic musical vibration.

Nous avons eu des vacances en famille avec nos enfants adultes. C'était parfait. La maison était spacieuse et confortable. L'eau tellement relaxant. Notre une fille se sont fiancés et il était parfait. Nous avons adoré Odette. Sa cuisine était incroyable. Merrik et serita se sont bien occupés de nous. La seule chose qui est arrivé qui était fort était partie au bar loin deux maisons. Ils avaient un artiste très populaire et le parti a duré jusqu'à trois heures du matin. Merlyn a aidé à tous les autres besoins que nous avions et ce fut une semaine merveilleuse

Merlyn was a great host for us. Seven of us came on the trip for four days/four nights, and we couldn't have had a better time. We were able to mix up our days between relaxing on patio/by the pool and going on adventures in the mountains; we were able to mix up our evenings with quiet time with other friends in the area and going out in nearby Ocho Rios. The property was lovely and the only drawback was the rocky sea, for which we should have had water shoes. Otherwise, a great host and support staff, and a wonderful location.

Our family vacation was quite memorable in Runaway Bay. We loved the pool at the house and the close proximity to the beach. Our days were spent relaxing , swimming and lounging by the pool. Our most memorable day was horse back riding to the beach which was awesome! Odette was an amazing and wonderful cook. I would suggest bringing mosquito repellent ..alot of it! and also pre negotiating your transportation costs. Amenities could be upgraded a bit ( new refrigerator with ice maker and perhaps tv's in each bedroom).

Wir hatten so eine wundervolle Zeit! Das Haus und die Anlage sind wunderschön und haben unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Haus liegt direkt am Wasser und hat einen wunderschönen, sauberen Pool, große Terrassen zum Aushängen und große Schlafzimmer mit bequemen Betten und AC-Einheiten. Das Haus ist etwas älter, aber sehr sauber gehalten. Eine Sache, die ich stark vorschlagen möchte, ist, den Chef zu mieten. Wir waren auf dem Zaun, weil wir normalerweise gerne lokale Restaurants probieren wollten, aber wir haben uns gezwungen, die Mahlzeiten zubereitet zu haben. Odette gekocht erstaunlich Essen einschließlich Ruck Hühnchen, Curry, Fisch und Hummer und es landete als einer der besten Teile unserer Reise. Unsere Gruppe war 9 Freunde und wir alle haben die ganze Erfahrung absolut geliebt.

Könnte nicht warten, um meine ausgezeichnete Bewertung für Runaway Retreat zu verlassen! Unsere Gruppe von vier Paaren und ein Freund blieb für eine Woche in Merlyns Villa. Die Aussicht war spektakulär - der Pool war sauber und erfrischend. Der Strand war direkt vor unserer Tür und wir schwammen jeden Tag im Meer. Es war ein sehr kurzer Spaziergang am Strand zum Restaurant / Bar Sharkies und ein Ort, um Glasbodenboote, Schnorcheln und Tauchausrüstung zu mieten. Wir waren zu Fuß zum Lebensmittelgeschäft, Geschäfte und ein paar Bars. Wir hatten alle unsere eigenen Zimmer und Bäder. Das Haus war wie unser Zuhause. Am schönsten war unser Chef - Odette! Wir wachten mit hausgemachten Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf das Meer. Traf Fischer, die frisch gefangenen Hummer direkt an unsere Tür zum Abendessen am Abend gebracht haben. Was auch immer wir fühlten uns zu essen, sie arrangierte und kochte es für uns. Merrick der groundskeeper war ein all-around guter Kerl und half mit was auch immer wir brauchten. Shericka die Haushälterin hatte immer frische Handtücher, saubere Bettwäsche und ein Lächeln. Merlyn, der Villenbesitzer, traf uns, als wir dort ankamen und uns von unschätzbarem Wert bei uns waren. Ihr Haus war genau das, was wir erwartet hatten und mehr. Wir fühlten uns immer sicher und stressfrei. Wir entschieden uns beim nächsten Mal, dass wir noch ein paar Tage bleiben mussten, um mehr Abenteuer zu nutzen. Wir haben mit großen Umarmungen, neuen Freunden und einem Ziel zurückgekehrt, um zum nächsten Jahr zurückzukehren !!

Het was een zeer ontspannende ervaring, de plaats is mooi en het personeel is vriendelijk en aangenaam

Iedereen die betrokken is bij de Kling Kling huis liet ons zeer welkom en thuis voelen. Ze waren ook erg behulpzaam, aangezien onze mobiele telefoon niet werkte, en onze partij werd gescheiden. we genoten van ons verblijf hier, met inbegrip van de gerechten en verse coconut water en fruit !!! Winsome en Pable was GEWELDIG !!

Laura, op slechts een kort bericht om te bedanken voor de fantastische voorbereiding en welkom tijdens onze families recente verblijf in Kling Kling Cottage in de buurt van Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Het hele gezin volledig genoten van een periode van ontspanning, met een fantastisch, ondersteuning, bedrijf en entertainment van Winsome en Pablo. Het huis overtrof de verwachtingen en het koken en welkom van Winsome was de beste die we ooit hadden kunnen hopen. Pablo hield ons volledig vermaakt met zijn snelle humor en charme, en zijn krabjagen expedities die ongeëvenaard zijn. Totally, totaal genoten en kijk ernaar uit om met uw team opnieuw in de niet al te verre toekomst. Geef dan ook onze dank en waardering voor zowel Pablo en Winsome. Joyce & Martin

This house is idealistic...breezy, roomy, tropical. Winsome and Pablo will treat you like family and all you need to do is relax. Ery' ting irie.

Great weekend. Loved every moment. Thanks again.

Mijn man en ik verbleven in het Kling Kling Farm gedurende vijf dagen. Het huis en de gronden zijn net zoals ze worden gepresenteerd in de foto's. We hadden van tevoren gevraagd om Winsome de huishoudster om te koken voor ons. Het eten was heerlijk. We kocht zelfs vis uit een speer visser die was afwerking vissen voor de dag in de buurt. Pablo de tuinman kunt u op de hoogte van alle grote lokale plaatsen om te bezoeken. Ze waren beiden geweldige mensen die echt geholpen om ons verblijf nog beter. Er is een kajak op grond van het feit dat we nam in de oceaan om te controleren of het rif en het nabijgelegen mangroven. Het was een geweldig verblijf!

Wow. Quelle expérience... Nous avons adoré notre semaine en compagnie de Winsome et Pablo. La maison n'est pas luxueuse. Mais elle est très confortable. Très bien entretenue par Winsome. Il n'y a pas d'air climatisée mais chaque chambre a un ventilateur et un filet au dessus du lit pour nous protéger des moustiques. Et de belles fleurs sur le bureau. Il y a 4 chiens sur la propriété. Ils sont responsables de la protection des visiteurs. Nous nous sommes sentis en parfaite sécurité! Et ils ne sont pas dérangeants du tout. Les repas sont pris dans la cuisine qui est ouverte sur l'extérieur en permanence tout comme la salle familiale. Winsome a préparé les soupers pour nous. Nous avons ainsi pu connaître la vraie cuisine traditionnelle de la Jamaïque. Elle tournait autour lors de la preparation des autres repas aussi. La cuisine, c'est son affaire :-). Toujours de façon agréable, bien sur. Il est facile de faire les achats dans les épiceries. Mais attention, les marchands de rue en profitent pour faire payer les touristes beaucoup plus chers que les gens de la place. Winsome s'assurera de rire de vous lorsque vous vous serez fait roulés :-D. La plage sur la propriété était moyenne lors de notre passage. Beaucoup d'algues. Mais baignable quand même. Il y a une plage tout près en voiture (Flavor Beach). Dwigt vous trouvera 2 parasols si vous demandez gentiment. À la maison, vous pourrez profiter du kayak et du petit voilier si vous vous y connaissez ainsi que de chaises de plage. Et Pablo vous préparera un feu de plage mémorable. Pour vos sorties, Laura a laissé 2 sacs de plage et une petite glacière. Merci Laura! Elle vous proposera de faire vos premiers achats à distance chez Nathalie. Allez-y sans vous inquiéter. Et demandez à Nathalie comment vous rendre au Blue Hole. Une série de petites "piscines" naturelles dans une rivière. L'activité est exploitée par des gens de la place et nous avons tous beaucoup aimé. Je garde un souvenir très particuler de notre visite et j'espère revenir très bientôt.

L'endroit est paradisiaque! Nous avons eu de grands jours à ce bel endroit. Winsome et Pablo sont si loveley et serviable, ils font Oure séjour parfait. Nous reviendrons!

OCEAN MOUNT APARTMENT Crown Jewel of Discovery Bay exceptional place. It's hard to express in words. Doreen as a host was accommodating met me when I arrived at the apartments; friendly and I was made to feel like part of the family throughout my two week visit, everyone went out of the way to make me feel welcome, and I just loved Cleave who shared his great knowledge of traveling in Jamaica and other countries in addition to the different languages that he has mastered. Doreen recommended a driver in her advert which I took her up on, I was picked up at the airport on time then taken to the apartment which was a great help. Andy the driver was very reliable, friendly, and took me all over Jamaica at a great price, and saw me safely back to the airport for my return journey to the UK. Staying at Ocean Mount Apartments exceeded all my expectations, was absolutely perfect. A first class, distinctly low key and highly polished apartment cleanliness and ambiance/style/safety/peacefulness with fantastic views. I’m already looking to book my next Jamaica holiday to stay at Ocean Mount Apartments as I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

We had a good time at Doreen's place. Owner is friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and fully equipped with everything you need.

When you stay at Doreen's place you have everything you need! She is such a great host. She drove into town and picked us up from the gas station and then took us to the local supermarket to go grocery shopping then proceeded to drive us around town showing us where everything is which made getting around much easier. As for the apartment, it was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be staying here in the future!

Everything was perfect, absolutely no complaint at all. I'm so thankful we stayed here during our special time. I felt at home, 5 stars for everything. It's very quite here, you'll feel at home on vacation. I would definitely book here when I visit Jamaica again. So affordable, such a beautiful scenic view, this place is more than worth the value for the price. I loved the view from the pool side, such a beautiful sight to see during sunrise and sunset. Our host and her husband was very helpful, and also respected our space, I definitely appreciated that. Why go to a expensive hotel when you can rent this airbnb?..If you're simple and like things lowkey no stress, this is the right place, everything you'd possibly need is provided.... Again I would definitely book this place again. Thank you Doreen and Errol, God Bless.

Had booked this place for my parents to stay for a weekend. They enjoyed their time there and spoke highly of how communicative and accommodating Doreen was. The location offered up a very relaxed setting while also allowing quick trips to many of the natural attractions the north coast had to offer.

We love this place so much we are staying in one of these apartments for a month. Thank you for everything!

Doreen was very very helpful and also picked us up from the gas station, so we can find the apartment. The apartment was very spacious and had an extra door to the pool. If you like swimming in the morning, this is the place to be! The only drawback was that the wifi was down. However, Doreen tried everything to make it work for us. Luckily the neighbor gave us his wifi password and it worked for a little bit.

Whistling Villa était exactement comme décrit sur le site. Osburn était facile à contacter et a répondu rapidement aux e-mails. Il est une belle villa spacieuse et son emplacement était agréable et privé! Nous avons été accueillis par le Deloris, Christopher et Faithlyn avec un accueil chaleureux et convivial ... oh j'ai presque oublié de mentionner «Brownie» le chiot sympathique! maniérisme douce Christopher nous a senti en sécurité et il était toujours accessible pour répondre aux questions tout en Faithlyn nous a préparé quelques «repas jamaïcains» bien mérité et gardé l'impeccable Villa. Deloris était également facilement contactable et disponible pour répondre à toutes les questions. Nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité autour de la zone et n'a pas hésité à aller pour les promenades du soir après le dîner. Nous avons aussi passé relaxant fois paresser dans la piscine qui a été impeccablement tenus par Christopher! Malheureusement, l'Internet est en baisse qui était sans faute du propriétaire. Nos enfants ont pu donner leurs doigts un repos de textos lol! Nous avons eu un temps merveilleux et j'y retournerais sans hésiter. Nous ne manquerons pas de recommander Whistling Villa à nos amis ici au Royaume-Uni. Merci à Lennox qui ont voyagé loin pour nous et pour son aide dans la prise autour de nous ramener en toute sécurité à Spanish Town recueillent. Son attitude heureuse nous a sentis comme si nous étions de la famille, ce qui était bon!

Das gesamte Personal hat meine Gruppe gemacht und ich fühle mich wie zu Hause. Alles war wie beschrieben und besser! Platz war bemerkenswert. Nachbarschaft war weit von allen touristischen Bereich, das war schön, aber auch in einer sicheren Gegend! Wir hatten unsere eigene Gated Area, die wir hatten die Schlüssel zu entsperren / lock, wenn wir uns freuten. Ich würde wieder hierher kommen! SEHR EMPFEHLENSWERT!

This trip was amazing. Lennox Chris and Delores really made us feel at home. For a short trip they really made everything perfect for us. The house was beautiful, the pool was lovely and the weather was amazing.

The house was exactly as advertised, spacious, inviting and a great place to enjoy Jamaica. My only complaint were the beds were not comfortable. Chris and Delores were great hosts! Brownie (the dog) was so friendly :) I would recommend the home to anyone that wants a reasonably priced home in a great location.

Villa Anansi was the ideal setting for our family gathering. We were looking for a place that was safe, clean, quiet, attractive, comfortable and suitable for an elderly parent and young child. Anansi delivered in spades. The villa staff – chef/housekeeper (Jackie) and house manager (Owen) – are wonderful and went above and beyond to meet our needs and make our stay comfortable. Jackie’s meals were delicious. The grounds are lovely. The house is a short (8 minute) car ride to a great public beach and close to shops and other amenities. This was one of the best vacation stays I’ve ever had and I look forward to returning soon.

Great place and good value for money. The place was clean. Martel was very helpful. My wedding party had fun.
