Villa by the Sea - Jamaica's Finest in Duncan

It was my first time in Jamaica, and my husband and I took our 7 month old daughter. We really had a great time. The place is absolutely great - very nicely decorated and great vibe. It is a beautiful house - nice rooms and excellent garden. Joan and Curtis are amazing. They are very kind, highly professional, and extremely thoughtful. Joan is an excellent cook - her food is amazing - healthy and tasty. This was also my first time to stay at a private residence/villa instead of hotels when I travel abroad (I travel a lot for my work) - after this experience, I feel that in Jamaica, I will definitely choose a private residence like Yellow Canary than hotels. For food, Joan will go to markets and get ingredients as per your request. Curtis - who is a gardner - also helped us set up an umbrella in the beach and was always helpful. They also had a pack and play (we brought ours but they have it there) - my daughter loved the space and slept like a baby throughout our 5 nights of stay! Veronica (the owner) is also very responsive and accommodating - and I enjoyed interacting with her. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a low-key and relaxing family (or couple) holiday near the ocean - I feel also safe around the villa as well as the house is located in a residential area only a couple steps away from the beach.

I stay at the yellow canary, for 4 days. My stay was great and our cook ms Joan was amazing. She helped with our groceries and her cooking is superb. Only complaint I have is no air conditioning in living room, so couldn't was the daybed at night. I recommend bringing bug spray, lots of mosquitoes at night. The beach is steps away from the house and is beautiful. The outside decor is very relaxing to I sit outside. I would definitely stay again on my next visit.

I stayed at The Yellow Canary for a long weekend and it was wonderful. The villa is beautiful and very comfortable. Joan and Sandra prepared delicious meals. Johnny and Curtiss were great, welcoming and helped show us around. The beach is less than a block away. Just perfect!

My family enjoyed a perfect long weekend at Yellow Canary! Iris was an amazing hostess and cook and Curtis took wonderful care to make sure the property was in great condition every day. We felt so taken care of and loved seeing their smiling faces everyday.

We were able to use a pack and play and highchair for our 9 month old son which was great so we didn't have to bring our own. The beach was spectacular and Leroy's bar was a perfect place to spend Saturday evening listening to live reggae music.

Johnny and Turbo drove us to the Blue Hole and Martha Brad River Rafting which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to be back!

Thank you!

I loved everything about my stay at Yellow Canary. The house is even better than pictured and just steps from an amazing beach. Picture yourself taking a deep breath on a beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear water because this is what you get just steps from your front door.

Veronica has created a very peaceful place. The beds are comfortable, staff are reliable and friendly, excellent wifi, ac and ceiling fans basically all of the comforts of home. She has some really amazing gardens, very well tended by Curtis. Everything was so easy. We will definitely be back.
