VILLA BY THE SEA - Few steps from Beach -Family friendly -chef included in price

My Wife and I and 16 year old Daughter were looking for a place that was not touristy and we sure found it here. This place is located on a very short street that leads to the beach. The 3 bedroom Villa has 2 bedrooms with AC units that we loved to turn on at night for a good sleep. This place is located on a very quite street that has about 6 beutiful villas.

Joanne is the person who is hired as part of the cost of staying there who can do the cooking if you want and keep the place very clean every day. She is very nice and knows how to really cook a great Jamaican meal.

We went for 10 days during July 2018 and although it was really warm some days, we still had a lot of fun. This place is located on the North shores between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios and is only minutes away from the Luminous Lagoon. We rented a car and was at the Villa in about 50 minutes from the Montego Bay Airport. We will be back for sure and will hopefully be able to book this Villa again!

If you want fresh fish and lobster, just talk to Ashley who maintains the villa next door and he will go to the local fisherman "3 minute walk and come back with what you want". He also knows the Island very well and will be glad to help out if you like. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a real taste of Jamaican culture with friendly people right there making sure you are well taken care of and make you feel like family.

Can't wait to go back and thanks to all of you down there!!

We loved our stay!! Our teenagers loved being able to walk to the beach. We felt safe enough to let them head down during the day with out us. The food that Joan cooked was fantastic! It was our first time staying at a home that provided a housekeeper/cook, Joan was so Wonderful. Thank you for making us comfortable in a new situation.

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!
