A place in paradise - family villa on a peninsula directly by the sea

Villa "Bolthole"

At the top of the small, densely overgrown rocky peninsula right by the sea is the family-friendly wooden house in colonial style. All around lush, tropical green. Palm trees, mangoes, oranges and papayas sway in the wind.
Nothing disturbs the view of the Caribbean sea. It changes color as quickly as the clouds move over the coast. When darkening, the water turns gray or olive, but shines the sun, it shimmers azure or turquoise blue, as in the holiday brochure. The waves break rustling on the flat reef and then roll gently to the shore. This unique spectacle is experienced by anyone sitting on the terrace of Bolthole, a first-class box seat.

Feel good, let go and immerse yourself in the Caribbean holiday world begins with a warm welcome from our employees. A team of four looks after the well-being of guests and the care of the house and garden all year round - a garden to discover, framed by the magical backdrop of the rushing sea, which is constantly changing in color and wild beauty.

The house itself, with its white-painted wooden construction, fits in ideally with the natural surroundings. The bright rooms are all very spacious and the bedrooms each have their own bathroom. A tried and tested ventilation device ensures fresh air at all times; no air conditioning is necessary in this house. Fans on the ceiling of the rooms also provide pleasant cooling. The stylish interior is adapted to the simple architecture and yet Bolthole is a first-class and luxurious accommodation in the abundance of its properties and equipment.

The showpiece outside the house is the covered veranda with the sea water pool and the undisturbed view of the open sea. Here or on the adjoining seats and loungers, life takes place from breakfast to dinner by candlelight in the mild Caribbean air. The private bathing / boat dock and sandy beach is protected from the high waves by the reef. With the kayak they row together with their snorkeling friends inside or outside the reef.

In addition to the "Bolthole" villa, there is a cozy cottage built and furnished in the same style on the large estate. 2 bedrooms with private bathrooms, living / dining room and a covered veranda can comfortably accommodate 4 people. The first morning coffee or afternoon tea can be prepared in the small kitchen.

The cottage (apartment no. 2870188) can be rented together with the villa or separately; it is equally suitable for short and long vacations.

Lovely place
We stayed at the Villa for our wedding in Port Antonio. Centrally located to the town centre. Very secluded and quiet with plenty of space so unlike a hotel you do not feel enclosed.

Portland's Perfect Place
The stay at this Villa was perfect. The saltwater pool, the dock, the small beaches, the daily visit from a baby sting ray and the amazing staff all made our stay great. We had family members ranging from 6 to 80 staying on property and everyone enjoyed themselves. The best aspect was the staff, they were kind, attentive, kept the place clean and safe and fed us the most amazing food. I'd be thrilled to come back here on my next visit to Portland.

Our stay was amazing. The dock to the ocean was perfect! We loved snorkeling in the front yard and we’re surprised by how much seaside we were able to see. The pool was great. The rooms are simple but spotless. Would highly recommend this property.

1st vacation in 13 years!
As one review said the pictures don't do this place justify. It was amazing! From the house to the pool, everything was absolutely stunning. The staff, Donna, Calysha(sp), Errol and Dan were great and absolutely made the trip that more enjoyable. This was our 1st time in Jamaica and they were very helpful in every way. Thanks also to the owner for the great recommendation on transportation from and to the airport. Taryl went above and beyond, and waited for us despite a 8hr delay in our flight! We will definitely be back hopefully in a less heat-filled and rainy season though!:)

Our Dreamy Stay
What an incredible place this is. It is so much more beautiful than we imagined. The location is private and magical. Once you pull into the driveway, you are transported to a secluded oasis of tranquility and beauty. The house itself is tastefully decorated, very clean, and comfortable. The views of the ocean are incredible. You can choose to just lounge about or swim in the pool, swim and snorkel off the dock, visit the small private beach, or explore all of the beautiful parts of the property. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The meals that were prepared by Donna are some of the best we've had in a very long time. We are already looking forward to coming back to this magical spot.

Great staff!
The staff was very attentive, welcoming, and great people to be around. My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Bolthole, and would definitely return. Finding the property was rather difficult as it was our first time staying there, so look for the first hidden driveway on the left.
