Nice open cottage. I didn’t realize the chef stays in the cottage too - not in the house with you but in a close by room. Chef was amazing to have. Lots of cute dogs and cats! Beach was great but it is iron shore. Great place overall.

The Yellow Canary Villa was in excellent condition. It is roomy, clean, and has all the conveniencies of home. Along with the assumed electricity and hot water, it has TV and Internet. Then there is an incredible hostess, Cassie. Cassie is an incredible cook, as well as friendly and informative. You couldn't ask for a better host. The villa is just steps from the ocean. Visit Julets. Great chicken, fish as well as drinks. It is quit and comfortable for a wonderful break in a warm and beautiful environment.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and gave me a great sense of freedom! Mrs. Cassie, the housekeeper is so nice and respectful of our space and wow is she an amazing cook! We had a delicious chicken meal when we arrived and it was plenty for leftovers which we enjoyed throughout our stay. The place is immaculately clean and the local people are a treat to be around if you get to know them! No complaints.

Miss Cassie is an amazing cook and has a beautiful personality. The whole family loved all her meals which were excellent and first class and we also enjoyed our grocery shopping trip! :) Host communications were great with no issues whatsoever.

The beach is about a one minute walk from the house down a short road. Its not "beachfront" as there are 2 houses between you and the beach but its very close. The property is gated and I never once felt unsafe. The place also comes with a chef - Cassie - who is a wonderful cook. How it worked for us is we drove to the supermarket and Cassie asked what we wanted to eat and bought supplies (at our cost of course) for what she would prepare. She would typically cook 2 meals per day.The only reason I give it 4 stars is that the house wasn't super clean. Our room had a pretty big dead cockroach in it and lots of mosquitos were in the house. Its a tropical environment so I expect there to be bugs but it made it hard to enjoy being in the house.Overall had a great time and if you come during the dry season (Dec-Apr) I'm guessing the bug issue won't be a problem.

A cool place to stay!

A wonderful villa, just steps from the beach. Tamara and Jasmine are excellent hosts and fantastic cooks. They gave us authentic Jamaican dishes every day. Eating locally is expensive, especially if you want fish, but do try Julet’s fried chicken. The beach is long and thin with fine white sands and warm blue sea but be careful on the rocks and reefs. To get the most from the area be prepared to chat and join in with local life and experience the laid-back Jamaican hospitality.

Bday trip

The property was exactly as described. Cassie met us as we arrived with a delicious welcome dinner. Both Cassie and Tiffany were very helpful throughout the stay. We enjoyed being very close to the beach. The driver from the airport took us to the wrong supermarket. I highly recommend going to Progressive supermarket in Montego Bay. They’re were a few days where there was no hot water but this was rectified. And the mosquitoes were vicious. Overall our stay was pleasant. Cassie is an amazing chef.

Disliked: Communication
Steps away from a BEAUTIFUL Quiet beach. Staff was kind and helpful. Would stay againA few things to note and would increase enjoyment would be: 1. If communication was a little better on what you need to bring since place is fairly remote. Like you need to bring cash to pay the cook for groceries, taximan, snacks, etc. 2. Also I think if there was a menu and choices to choose from for chef that would help. Because we had to plan our own menu, but then some items aren't available in Jamaica, and cook was unfamiliar with how to cook. Probably easier if you could just choose meals.3. Finally, just know that there is no a/c in living room and it is a hot place, but there's not much they can do about that.

The listing, including the pics, are accurate. My party of 5 adults enjoyed the quiet beautiful beach and clear water that was only a few steps away. Accommodations inside and outside were very comfortable. Cassie was a wonderful cook/housekeeper who did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. A perfect place for those who want security, beauty, peacefulness, and comfort. Veronica was prompt with communication and made very helpful instructions to neighborhood resturant owners.
