10 of us stayed at this villa for a family reunion. It is very spaceous for a large group with a spectacular view. Although you are not right on the beach, Lawford is always available for a quick golf cart ride down and was wonderful with the six children that we had with us. He also makes great ribs on the barbeque! Miss Tiny's cooking was delicious. The staff are truly gracious people who made sure we were well taken care of. We rented a car for the week which was great and Mike our driver was fantastic with his suggestions for places to go and general information about the island. A great trip with wonderful memories! Thank you Doug and Nicole.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind review. All the best to you and your family.

We had a great stay. The staff was wonderful and took very good care of us. The house is large and there was plenty of room for our group of 10. We did hire a driver for the week and would suggest that to anyone. Our driver was very helpful and it was like having a local show us around. Ms. Tiny, Ms. Betsy and Lawford were all great, the food was good and. The beach was just down the hill, the kids loved the golf cart ride there. Not sure what else to write that others haven't already wrote, but we hope to go back again soon.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind review. All the best to you and your family.

New York State Extended Family Falls in Love with Rendezvous Villa

Date of Stay: 02/17/12 Review Submitted: 02/26/12

Rendezvous Villa was everything we hoped for and more. The photos are an accurate representation ..but everything was even better "in real". Staying in a private home makes the Jamaican experience much richer than a resort vacation. The staff were wonderful - very low key and comfortable to be around - yet they managed to anticipate - and fill - every need. It was an amazing vacation and we hope to return again next year.

Owner response:You are very kind and thank you for taking the time to send in a review. Doug.

We had never been to Jamaica or stayed at a villa with a staff. It was great and we would suggest it to anyone. Thanks for a trip that we will all be talking about for years. Lawford makes great rum punch and has the best BBQ, Ms. Tiny's Jamaican Beef Stew was the amazing and Ms. Betsy, kept the villa spotless. Thanks Doug for helping us set up our driver, grocery order, etc. You made it easy. Can't wait to see everyone again.

Owner response:Glad you had fun. All the best.

We had lots of fun and I would suggest this type of vacation to any family or group of friends. We did hire a driver for the week and he was a huge asset to our trip, I would suggest that too. We thought we would eat out at night, however after the first night, we decided not to. Ms. Tiny is a great cook.

We had a great stay. The villa and staff were wonderful. The food was great, everyone was nice and we can't wait to go back again. I would suggest that you put a better picture of the view on your web page, I can't tell you how much we enjoyed looking at that view during breakfast, dinner..........all day. Thanks so much for making this a wonderful vacation.

Excellent Villa and staff

We have stayed at this villa a few times and always come back. The location is great, the staff wonderful and home incredible. We bring our children and love that the villa is very kid-friendly! We love every minute here. It's a very convenient location for so many of the surrounding activities, including rafting, zip line, Dunns River Falls, Ocho Rios, golfing, etc. Simply the best we've stayed at in Jamaica!

Wonderful Vacation in Jamaica

Date of Stay: 06/30/10 Review Submitted: 07/22/10

I stayed at this Villa 6/30-7/7. Thanks so much for opening your beautiful home to me and my family. It was only three of us on vacation, my 16 year old son, a friend and myself. We loved our relaxing holiday. Thanks so much to Miss Tina, Miss Betsy and Lawford for making us feel like family. The meals were wonderful, but the friendship that we developed are priceless. I hope to visit again next year.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the kind comments, the staff had great things to say about you too. All the best.

I loved my time at the villa and am excited to go back. The pool, beach access and home are all first rate. Staying at the villa is truly a fun and relaxing vacation. The staff will treat all guests like family and the food is delicious. I am confident that all guests will love their time in Jamaica. It is a unique and relaxing vacation.

We've been doing vacation villa vacations for many years and can't believe we found Rendezvous. Thank you to the Schmidt family for making this wonderful place affoardable and available for us. The view, location, house and staff are all under stated in the description they give. The pictures don't do it justice. WOW!!!!

Owner response:Thanks for renting with us, hope you come back again. Doug and Nicole

We had a wonderful family trip and the villa and staff were great. Honestly the pictures on the Internet don't do the villa justice, we were very happy upon our arrival and couldn't believe the view. The food was great, the villa was great and the location was perfect. Ms. Tiny and Ms. Betsy kept the villa spotless and the food was great. Lawford made the best ribs we have ever had and was a great golf cart driver for our trips to the beach. We hired a driver for the week and would recommend that to anyone. The villa is in a great neighborhood and only an hour to the airport. Only 20 minutes to Ocho Rios. We went to Ocho Rios two times and enjoyed Dolphin Cove, Margarittaville and did some shopping. Dunns River Falls was ok, however I wouldn't recommend that for smaller children.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind comments. The Schmidt Family.

An amazng stay at a Great Villa!

The photos don't do justice to the view or the quality of the villa, we have stayed multiple times at this villa and have enjoyed each stay. With each stay we come to appreciate it more and more. The staff is amazingly friendly, the place is spotless and well cared for, the food is to die for and the atmosphere is awesome. The owner's description is correct I don't think you can find a better place to spend your vacation, whether it's with friends or with your grandkids - as we have done both. We were never disappointed with our stay or villa - until our plane ride home!

Everything the owner says is under-stated---Residence, view and staff are the best we've seen---have made it annual plan for our family/friends.

We were so happy at the villa. The staff is wonderful, and extremely accomidating. The villa is beautiful and we truly enjoyed the pool, and the interior decorations. The food is delicious, and gives you an authentic taste of Jamaica. We would highly reccomend Rendevous Villa, as an excelent vacation destination.
