Our vacation at Rendezvous was one of my favorites ever! We have been traveling to Jamaica for 20 years, and this has to be one of the most well kept, well staffed, nicely decorated, and private villas we have visited. Miss Tiny's meals were delicious. She would prepare anything we asked. Miss Betsy kept the villa spotless. She is such a nice lady. Lawford is so proud of the villa. He keeps the grounds and the pool looking beautiful, and he is quite good grilling!! The plants he tends make the villa property feel like a jungle atmosphere. There are some lovely flowers and plants surrounding the pool and driveway. The golf cart was an added plus to the villa. It is only a short ride to the private beach on the cart. Lawford was always happy to take us whenever we decided to go. We will surely return to Rendezvous Villa.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much for reviewing! It makes our day to know our guests had a great vacation, and we love sharing your kind words with the staff!!

We loved Rendezvous Villa so much last year, that we returned for TWO trips in 2013 - first trip with a group of friends, second trip a return visit with our grown kids and grandchildren. Both times, we were delighted to find that "our" villa was even nicer than we remembered! The villa is a spacious, lovely and comfortable private home with a cohesive staff that has worked together for many years. The house, courtyard and gardens are tended to with great care, and the meals are terrific. The beach is nearby, and within walking distance, but Lawford is usually available to give a lift in the golf cart. The pool with a view is divine.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

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.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

New York State Extended Family Falls in Love with Rendezvous Villa

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.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thanks so much for the kind comments, the staff had great things to say about you too. All the best.

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.

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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
