This property comes fully staffed with a housekeeper also a caretaker and gardener. All the above will help make your vacation a romantic, lovely experience. One of the best beaches on the island of Jamaica Mammee Bay Beach has a very good restaurant/ bar also gym This is a honeymoon and wedding rental why because everything is so beautiful the studio is a contemporary rental also the surrounding area impressive It even has its own personal fitted kitchen or for those lazy guests why not get a full catering service for $30 USD per day Champion Chef is $30 USD per day please inquire for details if you require his services ask for Cleavy upon arrival All you would have to do is buy the food that, you and your family like to eat. We can have our chef who will purchase all the items on your behalf, therefore everything is possible. There is also a full-sized swimming pool, with classy alfa loungers that cruise liners use with outside shower for bathing before and after pool use. Children under 16 must be supervised at all times around the pool area Gazebo this is a favorite area for our guests who love to dine outside while observing our fruited gardens. Barbecue Pit is located next to our swimming pool. Spa Retreat is another favorite for our guests it is a private place where the guests can relax with their loved ones There is also horse riding facilities within 5 minutes of the villa. Guests are able to use the washing machine, dryer. Guest will need to purchase their own washing powder There is also a great nightlife within the area with clubs like Amnesia, Just Chairs, Margeriterville, Shades and Priory beach has an event and dance. There are the best tourist attractions on the island a short drive away from our villa an example of this is: Dunn's River Falls the number one tourist attraction on the island. Where people climb the famous falls with this is a fantastic day out. Only 10 minutes drive away from our villa. Dolphins Clove. Where you can swim with the Dolphins - 10 minutes drive away from our villa. Perfect for children or Couples even singles great day out Mystic Mountain: Where there are cable cars. There is even a great restaurant at the top of the Mountain. The above three, in my opinion, are the top tourist attractions on the island of Jamaica with the exception of Bob Marley's Museum in Kingston. The nightlife is fantastic with a lot of clubs and events just ask our gardener Junior walker who is up to date with all the latest events that are happening in the area.

We normally stay in all-inclusive hotels, but this time we wanted to stay longer in a villa for a bit more privacy. Patiently waiting, the villa was everything. we expected and more. Chris, the manager, and Alvin, the owner, were the perfect hosts; we couldn't ask for any more, and the villa was perfect and great value for money. ##### DON S.

The host also told us to cut the air off when not in the room, which is crazy as it takes twice as long to cool it back down. We also had roaches running over my feet when using the bathroom at night, ants were coming through the huge gap under the front door but we never said a word as was more aggravated with the damn pool rules,,, really??? as we were the only ones who even used that pool in the 8 days we were there? Loved the location, loved the young gentleman who took care of the yard as he works very hard to keep it beautiful, but no, we will not be back for another stay at this villa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya H.

We have stayed at many places on the island and “Waiting Patiently” is private, yet situated optimally. We always like to swim at the bottom of Dunn’s River Falls like the locals. In addition, the caretaker, Chris makes you feel like family and everything from the pool to bed linens and kitchen appliances are perfect for a laid back, relaxing vacation or get away. I’m very particular about the bed linens and blankets; lots of places in the same price range have low quality. Thank you so much! I highly suggest people visit - they received the 2018 award of excellence from Travel Advisor! ##### Dona O. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Crystal H. Jan 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful getaway Great location close to the beach with very well maintained beautiful gardens. We stayed in the studio apartment which is very spacious and had everything we needed to have a little home away from home. The caretaker Chris was there to help with anything we needed and the property manager Alvin was also there during our stay. He was welcoming and agreeable. We enjoyed eating fresh ackee from the trees on the property and spent some time refreshing ourselves in the pool. Only one small caveat, once a new group moved into “the big house” they refused to have anyone else use the communal pool as it is indicated on the site. I think they should learn to read and be aware that this is a shared pool amongst the multiple (5) rooms/apartments on the grounds. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us. ##### Crystal H. Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 30, 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Be careful the owner double books the Property When we arrived at the property at 10pm there was no local number to contact the property manager. We drove up and found a gentleman outside who we discovered was the property manager. We asked him about our room and gound out the room had been booked and provided to someone else. I called the owner in the UK. He said the room was not double booked and was available. The property manager confirmed to us that he is not in charge of the booking and the owner double booked it. It was a nightmare. We tried booking another property but it was late. We eventually got another unit at the same property much smaller than the original one we booked. Plrase stay somewhere else the owner is exceptionally rude. The proprty mamager was pleasant and courteous. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mrcjameskeith Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### mrcjameskeith Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### angela m.

It stretches across lush greenery, has crisp white walls and a bright red roof. Within this house are three rental apartments; our studio, the “Big House” (which would be amazing for a large family to use) and a two bedroom apartment. We had a fully functional kitchen, excellent internet service and a large television with a full line up of channels to view. Our studio was bright with light, pleasingly decorated and housed two very comfortable beds. The property was beautiful but the heart of our holiday were the people who took care of us. Thank you to Chris, who handled any of our requests from excursions to seafood; to O’Neil who tended the grounds and always had a smile and a wave and to Betty who tirelessly tended to the housekeeping. We were sad to say goodbye. ##### Evelyn C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara S.

The entire staff is constantly working to make your stay a great experience and to keep the property clean. Thank you for everything Chris Ludford, your hospitality will definitely make me come back to this property 😁 ##### Barbara S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I like The property because it is private, peaceful, hatred with security and clean. The street the property is location on is very quaint, and has an historic feel. The street is next to the Riu resort with tall palm trees, and large beautiful properties. The staff was also available no matter what time of the day, evening, or night, the will go above and behind for your comfort. Property manager Mr. Christopher is always professional and courteous. The property has a pool however just 5 mins walk around the corner there is a private beach with a restaurant that is available for your use, also we were give a card to take with us for a 15% discount at the restaurant on the private beach. Beach was clean staff is very friendly. The drain in the kitchen has an issue, it smells a bit but the property manager came right away to take care of our concerns and everything was back to normal. What I don’t like about the studio are the bedding very uncomfortable, creates lots of lints on your clothes not ok, the mattress and pillow protectors make you hot ( it’s like plastic), called the property manager about the issue he explained that the covers are in place to protect the mattress and pillows, however he changed all the bedding to our comfort. Overall I would stay at this studio again, because everything you needs is accessible in the area, we ate local, food was inexpensive, area felt save, amazing supermarket was just minutes walk down the street. Great staff and beaches. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019
