We stayed with our kids ages 9 and 11, this was the perfect location. A short walk to the beach, boardwalk, Belmont Park, shopping, and food. The host and locals were very helpful with suggestions. The home was equipped with everything we needed for the beach. We had a great time and would love to stay here again!

The location just outside the main tourist area was key to our enjoyment of staying here. Excellent communication with the owner, rather than an agent, was another key. The washer/dryer made our 3 week stay a breeze. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to TCI.

Ten days of Bliss

We loved staying at Jamaican A Good Time. The accommodations had everything we needed including Beach towels and chairs And a well stocked kitchen as well as TVs and games. We were a stones throw from the Wonderful beach, And not far from many activities to explore. We loved going to Balboa Park and listening to the free concerts. Don’t miss that San Diego zoo and also the safari animal park. Our host Evan was supreme!

We returned for our second visit to this awesome retreat. It was just as great as the first. Everything was as described in the listing. Great food all around us, and beach chairs and umbrella to help us enjoy the beach. I wasn't sure the sequel would match last year's trip, but it did! Would definitely recommend and we hope to make another trip back in the future when we can stay even longer.
