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. The grounds boast a variety indigenous fruits and flowers. Landscaped gardens boosting 5 different Bananna trees 3 different Mango trees, 2 Beardfruit trees Nessbury also Sour Sop, Ackee Trees Aloe Vera bed plus Lemond Grass to name a few of things that grow in our garden 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. Car rental at around 30 GBP or 48 USD per day Airport pickup is around $40 USD per person if two or more are traveling if it is only one person then the cost may increase.

We found this property and decided to book. Communication with Alvin was good and Chris the property manager was very helpful and made the check in process very smooth. The place was just as described and we definitely enjoyed hot peaceful and quiet the area was. The only issue we had was that we wanted to stay 4 days but there was only availability on VRBO for 2 days. However, overall we enjoyed the stay and would definitely book another stay. ##### Nicoy R.

Thank you Chris for being a great host. ##### angela m. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ola A., Wilmington NC 7 Mar 2019 #### We always have a great time in Jamaica and this trip was no different. We were unsure what to expect from “Patiently Waiting” but we’re pleasantly surprised. The location is about 6-7 mikes Ocho Rios so be prepared to take a taxi into town if you don’t rent a car. We were picked up at the airport by a driver arranged by Chis Lundford by driver “English “. English was not just a driver. He was a historian, , tour guide and generally a wealth of knowledge. Chris was available to answer questions promptly. The property is pretty basic but a great location with the beach only a few min walk. There is a nice beach restaurant that serves lunch and dinner -NOT breakfast so make sure you have supplies for breakfast or go into Ocho Rios. It’s a good idea to pick up some items from the supermarket before arriving or shortly after. Pick up bath soap if you didn’t bring any , toilet paper, paper towels and snacks. If you want coffee in the morning get some instant coffee, cream and sweetener. We stayed in the smallest unit called the cottage. It was cozy and clean. There are other units you may want to check out if you want a bigger space. The area was super safe even walking back from the beach at night. It’s gated and Chris is always a text away to answer questions. The beach was beautiful!! You will get two beach chairs for staying at Mammee bay estate so ask and show your MBE card to get into the private beach and get the chairs. All in all we had a great time and you can too! ##### Ola A. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Warren R. 5 Feb 2019 #### Excellent! Will definitely be back. Beautiful environment and accommodations. Extremely friendly people. The property manager, Chris Lundford was wonderful! He made sure we were taken care of and checked frequently if we needed anything. We were pretty limited on places to go since we did not have a rental car. If you are ok with left lane driving, I would suggest a rental. But Chris got a taxi whenever we wanted to go somewhere. A we plan to visit again. The price is excellent. ##### Warren R.

I had a issue with a leaking ceiling, the crew was in there like a navy seal surgical team, and took care of it right away, and moved me to another building. I would go back there again, in a heartbeat. ##### Neil C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay B. 5 Feb 2018 #### We really loved our apartment!

The studio is exactly like the photos and is quite spacious. The private beach and restaurant were great and the service is wonderful. Maurice, the groundskeeper is a wonderful host and was always there when needed. The owner made regular checks to make sure all was well. This visit will be well remembered. Hopefully I can return soon to enjoy these wonderful accommodations again. Thanks again. ---
