I stayed from March 4th until April 17th. I had specific reasons for being there and I needed a quite location. This is exactly what I got. The location was quiet and secure. The apartment was as described, and perfect for one or two people and in very good condition. Delores the manager was very helpful and was available any time I needed anything, which was only about once. And Michael, the property supervisor was excellent and always available. the property has great security. The kitchen was fully equipped with every utensil. There is not a lot to do in the immediate area but it is easy access to Ocho Rios if you feel like some hustle and bustle. Overall I would highly recommend this apartment if you are after a quiet place, safe and secure, away from the hoards of tourists. It was very good. There is a grocery store nearby ( very expensive, Look out Zurich and Tokyo! Crazy ) and there are a number of bars, best of all would be British Bulldog ( very cheap ) managed by residents of the apartment complex Trevor and Gayle.

The apartment was in perfect condition, the kitchen is equipped with everything you will ever need. As well the correspondence with Osburn was excellent. I truly recommend this apartment.

Osborn was a great host. He had two apartments in this unit and both are nice. They are just as pictured and are very secure. We were able to come and go any time of day. There are several shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. We also enjoy running and found the road to Beverly to be a great 5 mile loop with a nice hill climb. The beaches are a about 2 KM from condo and one can walk or drive there. Michael and Carlisle, the security on site we very helpful.

I loved everything about Murrice's place Thanks Murrice

This is a great home to stay in away from home. It is private, quiet and accommodating. Close to the public beaches. Ocho Rios and Montego Bay is a taxis drive away that you can go and enjoy night life if you so desire. I will always come back here.

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.

Great place!!

Very nice villa with a big pool, quit and relaxing and the housekeeper is a nice woman which was very helpfull and discret. We spend a relaxing holiday of 5 weeks with 4 of our children and we explored Jamaica from Mobay to Port Antonio, Kingston (less than 2 hours distance) and Nine Mile (in the mountains, but it is not worth to go there). One of our favorite places was White River - Blue whole waterfall jumping, which is 35 min. from the villa. We will definitely recommand this villa.

The listing is just as seen in the pictures. We were able to really relax and get some rest which was the aim of our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would look to visit again for a longer period.

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.

Walking distance to the beach, only 20 mins to Ocho Rios attractions. Its a nice private villa. The housekeeper is awesome.

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...

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!

We loved the vibes at Hotbox. Martell was very friendly and the place is a gem. We highly recommend.

Für jeden der eine gemütliche,saubere und technisch gut ausgestattete Unterkunft sucht, kann ich diese hier absolut empfehlen. Sehr nette Gastgeber und einen wunderschönen Garten direkt am Meer. Und das Ganja- Angebot ist absolute Klasse!

The place is super clean and right on the beach. We were staying in a dorm with 2 bunk beds and the shared bathroom was just across the hallway. We had hot water and there was A/C in our room. We did not even need air-conditioning, it was great with an open window overnight. The staff is amazing! We had breakfast at the property and for a fair fee you get more food than you can eat and the chef cooks yummy food (ask for porridge...delicious!!). The beach is narrow, but you can sit there and catch some sun rays and chill. They also have hammocks, but we fell in love with the wicker egg swing in the front yard. There are only 1 shop and 2 restaurants in the walking distance, but you can take a route taxi to St. Ann's Bay for a couple of bucks and get the supplies there (fruit, coconuts from the people on the street, there is also a supermarket). We also scuba dove, you can also arrange a trip with Martel to the countryside. They made sure we always had a spliff :)

What a absolutely amazing place. Great vibes, great people, definitely recommend to anyone who wants to have a chill time in Jamaica.

We really enjoy our stay there! The location is the perfect spot to escape from everything. It has a private beach but it is not exactly swimmable (too many rocks in the water). The backyard is perfect spot for sun bathing! We also went to the Ganja Farm. So gorgeous and amazing! However, we were hoping to see how ganja works but we did not. $125 might be pricey but worth the view on the way to the farm! The host, Martel, is awesome. He did a great job checking us in. Very reliable.

Martel was helpful, professional, friendly, and entertaining. He instantly made you feel at home. Location on the coast was awesome. Music was excellent. Great place, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Runaway Bay.

The place is well keep, the environment was peaceful I felt safe and I was able to get around smoothly

always check and double check everything including photos before booking. not how it seemed in photos. only a 2 star property

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.

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

Cynthia was so kind and welcoming we felt like we were staying with family! She really made us feel at home. We were visiting friends in the neighbourhood so were out a lot and didn't see much of the immediate surroundings, but the house was wonderful, spacious and quiet. Thank you Cynthia for making our short stay so pleasant.

We had a short but extraordinary nice stay at Cynthia's beautiful home. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable and we were a bit sad that we could only stay one night. We highly recommend staying with Cynthia!

Cynthia was a wonderful host! She communicated everything accurately and was very accommodating during my stay. Her beautiful home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. If you want a place to relax, mediate, and just enjoy Jamaica’s inner beauties, I would recommend staying Cynthia!

Great stay. Clean place.

Cynthia picked us up from the main road, took us to the grocery store and to money exchange first day. She was amazingly helpful during our stay, getting us local self phone, finding rental car, local taxi and guided us how to get around. House was really clean and really spacious. Walk to beach ca. 30 min. Taxi $4 and ca. 5 min. By bus also very easy and great experience to get around. Great place to stay in case you want to see also come local life. Area is really calm.. and got location related to rest of the island (pretty much in the middle) and can do day tours to get almost anywhere at the Island. It was my first stay with AirBnB and couldn't expect for a better host. I can highly recommend her! Bring also some mosquito repellent with you, there are just few around now and then.

This is a very clean and spacious home. As for the location if you need to be in the center of Runaway Bay, it works. It is about 1.5 hours from MBJ airpiort and about 2 hours to Ocho Rios. The home is a bit difficult to get to because of the condition of the roads in that area where the home is located. For that reason I would recommend it for person's who are familiar with the local terrain. Driving there could be a little intimidating for an out-of-towner. Would recommend for locals or someone travelling with a savvy driver.

Wow we stay a short time but so wonderful Cynthia made us feel like at home ,she is friendly help us a lot we feeling like if we visit out aunt i recommended everyone be in cynthia home will feel welcome

From my initial message up to departure Cynthia has been absolutely amazing! As my first experience with booking a room on Airbnb I must say that I could not ask for a better host. The house was beautiful both inside and out, was spotless and was also well furnished. The room was cozy and suited my needs quite well. Although I loved the property I would have to say hands down that the highlight of my stay was interacting with Cynthia. She is a Super Host in every sense of the word and made me feel right at home even before I arrived. The next time I have any business to conduct in St. Ann I will definitely book with Cynthia at her place, and I will be recommending her place to my clients and friends as well.

My stay was well worth it. I loved it. Convenience meets comfort and style.

It was a lovely apartment suitable for one person or a couple. Spare towels and bed sheets were available. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, plates, glasses, utensils, and gas to cook for your duration. The room was kept cool at all times with both AC and the fan. I am very familiar with the local area so I found getting about pretty easy and the locals are very friendly. All amenities are to a good standard. When next visiting Jamaica (summer hopefully) I will definitely be booking back with this apartment.

The room is very spacious and clean I enjoy my stay. The owner was very nice to me and friendly I'd definitely recommend anyone to stay there.

Joe and Marva were great. Awesome communication, and Joe picked me up and showed me around. I just had to cover his gas. He's a super fun guy, gave a lot of insight about Jamaican culture and cooked up some hot breakfast everyday! Just thought the place would be easier to walk to through the main road. The place is huge and I felt very comfortable there.

My host Mr James was very friendly and helpful, he made my stay very relaxed and comfortable. The accommodation and my room succeeded my expectations; the house is spacious and clean with modern facilities (air conditioning, wonder shower, large comfortable bed and ample storage space), which were really appreciated. The surrounding gardens are very delightful with fruit trees and beautiful plants, it was very relaxing and peaceful environment.

Out of 10 years visiting Jamaica this B&B was a cut above the rest. Excellent hospitality! Great location with access to shops, supermarkets, public and private beaches! The host was very accommodating not only for breakfast but more than happy to cook meals for you. The rooms are very spacious & very clean! The host also had suggestions for hot spots or tourism. Treated more like a family member instead of a tourist. Taxi service is available right in the neighborhood. A most awesome Jamaican experience.

Great place to stay, Anna Kay and Camilo were great with communicating and were very generous to share the fruit on their land. Very nice and reasonably priced studio.

Mir hat es gut gefallen. Vor allem, dass man auch selbst etwas kochen kann. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich, aufmerksam und sympathisch.

Anna kae and Camillo are great people. Very hospitable.Great location.

Anna kae and Camillo where very good host. They are available for informations and help. The place is up the hill from the A1 main road (20 min walk) so it is very calm. I was there with a friend to attend the Rebel Salute Festival and it was just perfect! Thank you guys!

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.

What an amazing experience Villa Pegasus was! If we could rate more than 5 stars, we would! Villa - clean, breathtaking view, spacious, beautiful gardens, safe Staff - Junior and Lisa were amazing. Attentive but provide us our privacy. One of our concerns from past experiences is having staff on site hovering around constantly making us feel uncomfortable. (The feeling you are in someone else home) Junior and Lisa did not make us feel like that at all. They took care of the cooking and cleaning and allow us to focus on relaxing and enjoying our vacation. They were always around when we needed something. We felt safe at all times and having Junior and Lisa around provided an extra sense of peace of mind. Lisa made sure when we went to the market that we werent getting "tourist" prices. Food - The food is a must and so delicious. Lisa cooks all authentic Jamaician food as well catered to our Western taste as well. On our last night, Junior and Lisa set up a jerk bbq by the pool for fresh jerk chicken! Host - Roger was delightful to work with. Booking was so simple and Roger was very easy to get in touch with. Roger cares about his guests experience. He made sure we were welcomed and also offer to take care of any requests even before we got there. We enjoyed every minute from booking the villa to being there. We will be coming back! Highly recommend host and villa!

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

Roger was one of the best air Bnb hosts I've had so far! He was very communicative before our stay and made sure we had everything we needed upon arrival. The house itself is exactly as depicted but even more beautiful. The views are breathtaking and it was so reenergizing to stay in such a nature filled area Junior and Alicia were amazing hosts as well. They kept a tidy household and always went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Alicia is a killer cook! Make sure to take advantage of her ability to make the most delicious and authentic Jamaican food. Junior kept the pool crystal clean. Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone and am looking forward to coming back next year :) The only one note I have for this place is when Roger says the last 400m of road is bad he is not exaggerating. Imagine dirt gravel roads with many large pot holes - going uphill on a curved hill. Keep this in mind when/if you rent a car. This strip of road definitely requires a skilled driver!

Roger was a pleasure to deal with and had fast and reliable communication with us throughout the trip. The villa was nicely appointed and Lisa and Junior (cook and caretaker) were wonderful as well. Great views and nice breezes. A pleasant little gem.

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 ).

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.

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.

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. .....

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.

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

Ally's place is very clean and comfortable. It is in a safe residential community. It is about 1 mile or 15 min walk from the beach. Ally had some eggs, butter, bread, cheese etc for us in the fridge. This was very kind and thoughtful of her. They picked us up from the bus depot and took us back to a bus depot for a fee. They drove us to the beach and grocery store which was walking distance(1 mile) from apt...on way back from beach. The neighbors dogs were very noisy.

Ally and her family are the nicest people! They were really helpful during our check in process and they provided us with a list of places to go and things to see. The fridge was stocked with a few things to help get us started which was definitely appreciated. The guest house is amazing. It was clean and had everything we could have ever needed. It is an open air house so there were even little lizards who kept us company at night. :) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Jamaica!

I had a wonderful stay Jacqui's place. The apartment was clean and was just as described. Jacqui was a great host and anything I needed she was quick to respond. The fan broke and the gas for the stove needed to be filled and she fixed the problems within hours! The location is great close to everything you may need for your stay. The groundsman were also a great help if you had any questions about the area. The pool is older but very clean! The guys cleaned it everyday and night. The grounds also felt very safe, as there isn't much traffic in and out and you need a key to enter or exit the property. If you are looking to relax this is the place to go, very peaceful and quiet. I will definitely stay here again!!!!

The host was not present to meet us, when we arrived a security guard allowed us entry, two of which I tipped 100 .00 cad at hello( saftey 1st) I was quite put back as to the cleanliness of the place, faucets , sinks were thick with gunge in both kitchen ( pots rusted out bottoms )and bath area's. I made a trip for cleaners before unpacking, linen was clean, smelled of soap!! Pillows were missing a ton of batting. The lighting is lacking so if you plan on reading bring a lamp. Security well 2 out of 3 you can guarantee you feel safe as for Dwayne I found him passed out at the security gate more often then not and on one occasion woke him and an hour later took a picture of him sleeping on the cement near a lawn chair pool side?AT NIGHT!!! I had a travel companion who literally felt so uncomfortable with this particular so called guard because he would follow her to Jerky's where she would feel obligated to buy him breakfast and listen to him hint that his phone needed credit>> He was so over the top in his advances suggesting they should get together after she repeatedly told him she was in a long term relationship , she actually opted to stay in ochi Rios after our pre planned weekend there. I was left to my own on return because double booking was not an option. I fortunately had some ex pat friends close by and felt confident I could remain relatively at peace and meet up with my travel bud later. Funny how half way during my stay I receive this out of no where email stating that if the host found that my use of utilities were over her liking I would be charged later, that was not mentioned in the initial booking anywhere ( nope you get this email later) yes I'm Canadian and shower with hot water, ( always shut it off after and AC also if not in the place) how I was raised so its a given. It was also included like the add says? right? Now that my friend is in Ochi I'm there alone the security guard Dwayne is asleep beside a lawn chair AT NIGHT!! and I'm female yessss damned straight I had a night light on and TV especially after learning from a former resident of this gated security condo that not one murder had taken place in the past at this very location but two... I'm serious , usually I'm prone to leave a 5 star review put the small things n a bubble and blow it away...not this trip NO WAY! I wish we could post pics , In Jamaica we tourist are the economy , they will laugh until were broke,, I do not recommend booking here if your looking for a safe comfy sleep at night ! IMO research...i didn't sign up to go to heaven and...

Great value here! Small, quaint, clean and comfortable with a full kitchen and wifi. After the initial checkin there were some issues (clogged drain, loose sink) but all was fixed fast. The complex is close (walking distance) to restaurants, grocery, liquor and bars. I recommend that you clarify what is included in the rental as I was told that we would have one complimentary cleaning that did not happen, with some fine tuning this place would be considered 5 stars!

Apartment is in a great location. Convenient for groceries and beach. Comfortable bed and kitchen is equipped to prepare and serve meals. Security people are pleasant and helpful. Quiet area ...great for relaxing on balcony or by the pool. Other guests and residents polite and low key. It was perfect for us..better atmosphere than hotel. Not for someone that wants hotel services. Basic supplies like toilet paper paper towel and soap are provided to start but you need to replenish what you need..just like home. Not the most comfortable couch but we were not spending alot of time inside. Jacqui was pleasant to deal with and called to make sure we were satisfied with everything after our arrival. I would stay here again when I want to be in Runaway Bay.

Fantastic stay look foward to staying theee nx year. Security tight but polite. They will be sure to keep you safe and Dwight will make you laugh till you cry . Jacqui comuncated every step of the way . Her apartment was a home away from home x

This loft two floor sweet with breezy balcony, full kitchenette sleeps and houses four comfortably with nice green and light blue colours complimented by comfortable decor. Our host Jacqui has a great set-up going and is responsive to all your needs by phone and/or email. She is able to do everything seamlessly through onsite property manager, Michael. The security staff here including the man Michael make everything no problem, ire mon! The pool is outside directly down one flight of stairs from your loft with a "Dreamy Heaven" view of the courtyard and looking up to your south up over the rolling emerald lush green hills of the beautiful "Garden Parish" of St. Ann's Jamaica. If you come here once, you'll want to return as we do. Everything you need to cook your own meals/or have a local cook come in is steps away with many supermarkets/liquor stores. Local fisherman will sell catch of the day fare which can include lobster and shrimp ... we made one such deal for $10 dollars American which is roughly $1200 Jamaican Dollars. Flavours beach is an easy 15 minute or so walk or can be reached by taxi (120 Jamaican dollars per person one way/set your price with the driver before getting in the taxi tip 15% for good service) and or local bus (120 Jamaican Dollars). Flavours Beach is one of the most stunningly beautiful and accessible I have seen in the Caribbean! I have been all over the Caribbean with four stops in Cancun/Mayan Riviera and Cozumel Mexico; a week in Aruba; a week in Puerto Plata/Punta Rusia s loft

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.
