A slice of heaven
Submitted: February 17, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
I arrived late in the afternoon to find some brown stew fish, steamed veggies and rice, plus a jug of lemonade in the frig. It was delish! Paulette is really the "star" of the stay as well as the pristine view and spacious, gorgeous bedrooms.
She also made me, escovitch fish and a huge pot of porridge for three breakfasts. My taste buds were in heaven, and it was so convenient to have it all made up so I could eat, whenever.
I had one of the gigantic bedrooms, with a big walk in closet and a perfect bathroom with a tub. It was located right off the tv room. The huge picture window allows you the sea view from your bed. I read a lot, so it was very relaxing for me. I really was there to decompress from too much stress during the last 6 months of 2012. This is the place for that.
There are two wonderful verandahs. One off the kitchen and one off the common room between the upper two bedrooms (not the family suite) I LIVED in the upped verandah, and even dozed off a few evenings because there are two very comfortable chaise lounge chairs. The sound of the waves and the "police bugs", will lull you off into the most incredible sleep ever. I slept about 10 hours every night.
The private beach was lovely, and I sat and read, swam, floated, and just inhaled all the healthy sea air. This was what ended my bout with the sinus infection plaguing the North East, USA, before I left.
I had no problems at all with those selling things on the beach, next door.
Jamaica is the best place to heal from anything. Whether physical or emotional, you will find peace of mind and relaxation in this fine home Mia has decided to share with all of "we".
Her taste in furniture and the entire vibe of the house is just wonderful. The kitchen has everything you could need, even a blender. The WI-FI came in right away, and I played sweet reggae music instead of tv.
I feasted on soursop, mango's, pineapple, and papaya. I threw some of it in the blender with coconut milk and almond milk. Talk about a healthy lunch in a glass.
The yard has some tiers of grassy areas by the clothesline, so they sure made great use of the entire property. Ask John to carry down a chair to the beach in the AM, and then you can leave it there all day, even if you come up for a quick bite to eat or a nap. He will bring it back up for you at the days end.
This is truly a slice of heaven. You will not be disappointed. I promise you that.
Thank you Mia, for a very relaxing time in your home~

Owner's Response: Kristine, it was a pleasure to have you in our simple seaside home. I'm so happy it worked out and you were able to get the healthy food and sleep you needed to keep the healing happening. Paulette looks forward to meeting your husband and son on future visits - maybe I'll get to, too.
