From now on, this will be our go to place in Jamaica. We were there for our daughters wedding at a local resort. Mr. Appleton (the owner) and Chris (the caretaker) were beyond accommodating and helpful during this time. We held a dinner at the house for 30 people, and there was PLENTY of space. The pictures don't do the home justice in conveying it's TRUE size. Only the bedrooms have a.c. (which worked wonderfully), but truthfully, the house is built so open to air flow, it was rare that it got very hot inside. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom, which are very adequate. Good water pressure. The bedrooms are comfortable, although the pillows do have a case on them that crinkle alot when you move. All the TVs work and have American stations. The kitchen is sparse, but you have everything you need to cook, including a full sized fridge and oven. There is LOADS of seating, inside and out of this house.
The grounds are gorgeous, and there was always somebody there working on things. The pool is wonderful, although I will note, it is not private. All guests staying on the property have access to it, and there are workman around almost everyday. It was maintained very nicely and had a hot tub (which we didn't use). Plenty of beach chairs and pool towels are available to use, just ask!
There is a back gate that leads to a short walk (maybe 300 feet) to the beach resort behind the house. There is a pass Chris can give you to go there. The beach is right there, along with multiple small restaurants and bars. A few souvenir shops also.
A few things to note: You must supply your own toilet paper after the first roll. There are no seasonings, sweeteners, coffee, etc in the kitchen to use. Bring plenty of bug spray and sunscreen. Bath towels and pool towels are provided, if you want to go to the beach, pack a beach towel.
If you have a reason to (or even if you dont), arrange to have Cleevis cook a meal for you. He is fantastic. Ask for the fried chicken!
We would like to say thank you to everyone who was so nice and gracious during our stay: Cleevis, best dinner ever! Chris, you are so helpful and always smiling. Thanks for all your help! Betty Anne, thank you! Baldwin the taxi man, thanks for chauffeuring around our crazy bunch over and over and over again. Mr. Appleton, thank you for having such a great house for others to enjoy!
Don't hesitate to rent at this property. You won't regret it!
