Fabulous villa with a great pool

We were 2 families visiting Jamaica for the first time. The villa has a great setup for 2 families with 2 rooms on either side of the main living area, providing privacy and space. Each room has its own bathroom. The pool area was wonderful, many hours of fun were spent swimming and playing. The property had a large garden area which was well maintained. The kitchen wasn’t huge and can get hot but had all the essentials needed, Jennifer was great and cooked a few meals for us, yummy Jamaican food and lots of it. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, communication with the owner was very quick and he was super helpful in organizing groceries, meals and a private driver for the week which made it so easy to get around and much less stressful. I would highly recommend this villa and would definitely return!!

Amazing Vacation at an Almost Amazing Villa

The grounds were amazing with multiple fruit trees, we even had a few julie mangoes. The villa was the perfect size for us, but we had issues with the toilet and shower in one of the bedrooms. Not a big fan of flying roaches inside the villa and spiderwebs coming down from the high ceilings. With my few negatives, I would definitely stay there again.

Amazing

My family came down for a wedding and decided to stay here instead of the resorts. Osburn was amazing, answered all my questions and with a quick response. Chis was also amazing, friendly and my husband and I enjoyed our conversation with him. Brittany the Chef was also amazing. She cooked breakfast and dinner for us. Everything she cooked was to die for. If you stay here you must hire her and the price is very reasonable. We also used Julious for transportation Amazing as well. The pool was so relaxing, the property is private, plenty of space, seating inside and out. Will stay again.

Great

My friends and I stayed here for 2 weeks, had a great time. Pool was awesome, house very comfortable. Jennifer and Chris were great, anything we needed they were there. You really need to rent a car, we spent a lot of money various rides. The local taxis are cheaper than the tourist ones and are great. Overall we had a great time and would not hesitate to visit Whistling Villa again.

Total privacy in a beautiful and spacious setting

We loved this villa. Total privacy and security. There was plenty of space in which to move around. The pool was lovely and the grounds maintained to perfection, including the mango trees. The manager answered every question and phone message promptly and cheerfully. Everything functioned and lots of hot water in the shower. We had a great time with no worries.

your very own private resort

excellent communication starts before you reach the property. Dedicated staff welcomed us into the house and showed us everything inside and outside. 4bedrooms each with its own bathroom and A/C unit. huge sitting/living area. Several dining tables and more than enough comfy chairs and chaise lounges. Fully stocked kitchen that enabled us gourmet cooking and even baking. Very private, quiet, peaceful property and neighborhood. Easy to arrive and close to major roads and public beach.

The Tribe of Van Dorn

Our new Jamaican Home Away from Home!!! We came as visitors, we left as family!!!! In short.....The stay was ABSOLUTELY wonderful!!! Christopher, the humble grounds keeper, greeted us with a warm, heartfelt welcome as we entered the property through the solar powered double gates. The picturesque garden, with a variety of fruit trees, flowering bushes, and palms, can be enjoyed as you take the short drive to the property or as one sits enjoying the fresh crisp morning air. Christopher (or Adam, as we quickly nicknamed him) was able to share his love for and knowledge of the harmonious plant life in this wonderful little imitation of the Most Highs’ great Garden of Eden. Delores, the house manager, was polite, funny, and full of energy. She ensured we were comfortable as she assisted in the coordination of services and activities. Though not physically available on-site, she was surely just a phone call away. Ms. Jennifer was careful not overwhelm us with her physical presence. Luckily, she couldn't care less about overwhelming us with her love of cooking and hospitality. She could (should) teach a class on hosting, cooking, hospitality!!! We opted for authentic Jamaican dishes that she would routinely prepare for her own children or grandchildren. Needless to say, she delivered!!! The food was more than AMAZING!!!! (This is coming from the “picky eater” of the group) The communication before, during, and after our stay was excellent. The property owner reach out via the messaging application on the booking website and the telephone to ensure every aspect of the trip was given the proper attention. I recommend without hesitation!!!

First VRBO rental

We spent 2 weeks at Whistling Villa and it was amazing. We arrived much later at night than was anticipated but was still made to feel welcomed by Delores and Chris. The villa had a homey and private feel. We felt very safe at the location. The Manager, Delores was very responsive whenever we needed to contact her. The housekeeper, Ms Dorothy was very pleasant and Chris, the caretaker felt like a part of the family. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating without being intrusive. The grounds are well kept, the AC units worked well (and it was really hot), and the pool was beautiful and clean. My first VRBO rental experience was very pleasant and we will definitely be telling our friends about Whistling Villa.

One of the best places I've ever stayed.

I have just returned home to the U.K after spending 1 month at whistling villa August 2018. Where should I start well the two members of staff there Chris the grounds keeper and Miss Curry who was our cook/cleaner are two of the most nicest people I have ever met, nothing was too much trouble for them both to help out with. The food that Miss Curry prepared for us on a daily basis was second to none it was absolutely delicious. The grounds keeper is always there to help out at a moment's notice, he kept the grounds and the pool exceptionally clean and tidy on a daily basis. The villa itself is very spacious and comfortable, the living area is very big and each of the bedrooms are very big and comfortable with the added benefit of Air Conditioning especially after spending days out in the red hot sunshine or just lazing around the pool, which is very nice just to be able to open the doors and have a cool refreshing dip in the pool. The villa has got fruit tree's where you can just go and pick a piece of fruit from which are delicious. The private beach in which the villa has exclusive use of which is only a couple of minutes drive away is beautiful or you have the public beach at the bottom of the road. The villa's location is close to local amenities and tourist attractions like dolphin cove where you can swim and interact with them which I definitely recommend in doing, you have mystic mountain and bobsled which is another fabulous place to visit. You can purchase day/nighttime passes at local hotel resorts like Jewels resort in runaway bay which has a small but very enjoyable water Park attached to it, with the passes you get full access to entire complexes except for the room's where all your food and drink are included with the passes. Whistling Villa is located up in the Cardiff Hall Estate area which is very peaceful after spending days out in like Ocho Rios or Montego Bay. Ocho Rios is a lovely town to visit for the day where you have a beach loads of shops and places to eat like Margherita Vil. We went to the Kool Runnings water park for the day which is approximately 2 and half hours drive. The villa has the added benefit of having a driver which you can hire for days out to take you places. We hired a car for the full month which i would definitely recommend in doing to allow you the freedom of going places when and where you want I would definitely go back again and i would recommend this villa to anyone. Overall a beautiful place
