Exactly as advertised; Great house; Great Staff

We were 5 adults and 1 18-month old and everything was so well done. Kadine, Andrew, Anthony and Kevin handled all our needs and the result was a most relaxing vacation. The payment challenge for groceries in earlier reviews has been solved. Easy to settle up via online app. The house, pool, beach, food, service, etc was all outstanding. The setting is remote, but Andrew was ready to help make arrangements for outings. Overall, A+.

Excellent Stay

I stayed here with my husband, 10 year old son, adult sister and my parents. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house was always spotless and the staff were amazing. It was so nice to have a beautiful home, large patio, pool, gazebo, backyard and private beach all for us!

Kid-friendly Villa

Our three-related families of 9 just returned from a fantastic time at the Sleepy Shallows villa. The grounds are filled with tropical plants and flowers overlooking a quiet, shallow bay perfect for kids and adults. Young kids will like the sandy beach and gentle slope and smooth waters, while older ones will enjoy the views, kayaks and paddleboards. The grass lawn, wide enough to throw a football, and hammocks provide an outdoor break from the beach. The house is good sized with nice views and with master bedrooms well separated. The pool and adjacent eating deck warrant multiple hangouts throughout the day. The furnishings are very nice and clean with a stylish and interesting decor. Our group required two high chairs and pack-n-plays; good ones were available. The four full-time staff were superb, with Keno (gardener and water guy), Kadine (housekeeper), Anthony (chef), and Andrew (butler) becoming part of the family; all were great with the kids and us. Andrew will take care of all requests and island visits and arrange shopping, and Anthony outdid himself with 3 delicious meals daily that kept getting better through the week. Oxtail stew, jerk chicken and snapper, fried chicken, curry goat, and lobster and ceviche were favorites, always with fresh fruits and vegetables and great sides, but seemingly any request was welcomed and proved tasty. Andrew's deserts were special toppers, with cocoanut and key lime pies flying high. Afternoon cocktails of multiple sorts were pleasant options daily. We loved the last night tradition of a dinner on the beach with bonfire. Travel is a challenge. We opted for transportation arranged through the villa, and were glad we did not rent cars. Still, it was not a good fit for the size and ages of our group to take day trips, was expensive, and casual errands were a last consideration. Fortunately, there is a great tubing and float trip on the tropical river with one terminus next door, and the activies at the villa and water and other sports at hand kept our group happily entertained without the need to travel distances. Ask Jacquie about tipping policies in advance, and take plenty of cash, US dollars welcomed. Of course all food and drink expenses are by the guests; budget accordingly. A helpful service would be for the host to set up some sort of electronic transfer account, such as Zelle or CashApp, to facilitate payments or tips, given the difficulty in obtaining cash locally.

The best vacation ever!

Our families had the best vacation ever at Sleepy Shallows! We had 4 adults and 5 kids, ranging from 11-16 y.o. The memories we made here will last a lifetime! Andrew, Anthony, Kadine and Keno were absolutely amazing and made our stay so comfortable and easy. They thought of every detail- the meals, drinks, turndown service, sparkling clean house, beautifully manicured property and help with planning excursions and drivers all made for the most relaxing vacation. We learned so much about Jamaican culture, food and vegetation while we were there from the four of them. They truly treated us like family and made our stay so wonderful. The house itself is beautiful, spacious and very clean. The outdoor living spaces are so comfortable and large enough to fit our group of 9 comfortably. The yard is filled with beautiful flowers and bushes and tons of fruit trees. The beach had soft white sand and the clearest water. Set in Bengal Bay, you are perfectly protected from the big waves of the ocean which makes for great kayaking, swimming and even some snorkeling not far from shore. We played beach volleyball a ton and there is plenty of yard space for games and running around. We we went on several excursions nearby (Blue Hole, tubing on the Rio Bueno, Luminous Lagoon). Andrew was super helpful in planning these trips and arranging for transportation. This took all of the guess work out of it for us which was great. We highly recommend this villa for your stay! We will be back!

Review of stay with family and friends

We rented this beautiful property for a week. There were four adults and four kids ranging from 11 years old to 15 years old. The house itself is beautiful as well as the property. It was kept sparkling clean by the staff everyday. Our cook Anthony made delicious meals including authentic Jamaican food which was the most appreciated. Andrew our butler took wonderful care of us and was very attentive. A few things to note: 1) the water in the bay is very calm and shallow. My kids were looking for something a bit deeper to do some swimming and some gentle waves which we finally had on the last day 2) there is construction going on right next door which can get quite loud at times and difficult to sit outside and enjoy a drink and conversation when there is a power drill in the background. When I made the owner aware of the situation she did try and contact the owner of the villa that was being constructed on but the last two days we had this construction on and off which was very distracting 3) there is a busy highway right beside the house and it can get quite loud. Bring earplugs for nighttime and be aware that even during the day it can be noisy All in all a lovely stay which is really made by the staff of the house. They will take extra good care of you. Just be aware that it isn’t as quiet as I thought it would be.
