Nice open cottage. I didn’t realize the chef stays in the cottage too - not in the house with you but in a close by room. Chef was amazing to have. Lots of cute dogs and cats! Beach was great but it is iron shore. Great place overall.

The Yellow Canary Villa was in excellent condition. It is roomy, clean, and has all the conveniencies of home. Along with the assumed electricity and hot water, it has TV and Internet. Then there is an incredible hostess, Cassie. Cassie is an incredible cook, as well as friendly and informative. You couldn't ask for a better host. The villa is just steps from the ocean. Visit Julets. Great chicken, fish as well as drinks. It is quit and comfortable for a wonderful break in a warm and beautiful environment.

Thank you so much for a well deserved review after hurricane Melissa. Lots of efforts were put in to clean up the area, beach and beach lawn by local residents and their workers. I am also grateful that you were able to explore the area and enjoyed the local foods.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and gave me a great sense of freedom! Mrs. Cassie, the housekeeper is so nice and respectful of our space and wow is she an amazing cook! We had a delicious chicken meal when we arrived and it was plenty for leftovers which we enjoyed throughout our stay. The place is immaculately clean and the local people are a treat to be around if you get to know them! No complaints.

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!

Relaxing and quiet place.

Excellent location to relax! We spent our days reading our books and lounging at the villa or at the beach. Villa was clean, well kept, and very charming. Miss Cassie is an amazing cook and has a beautiful personality. The whole family loved all her meals which were excellent and first class and we also enjoyed our grocery shopping trip! :) Host communications were great with no issues whatsoever. Would return in a heartbeat.

A cool place to stay!

A wonderful villa, just steps from the beach. Tamara and Jasmine are excellent hosts and fantastic cooks. They gave us authentic Jamaican dishes every day. Eating locally is expensive, especially if you want fish, but do try Julet’s fried chicken. The beach is long and thin with fine white sands and warm blue sea but be careful on the rocks and reefs. To get the most from the area be prepared to chat and join in with local life and experience the laid-back Jamaican hospitality.

Bday trip

The property was exactly as described. Cassie met us as we arrived with a delicious welcome dinner. Both Cassie and Tiffany were very helpful throughout the stay. We enjoyed being very close to the beach. The driver from the airport took us to the wrong supermarket. I highly recommend going to Progressive supermarket in Montego Bay. They’re were a few days where there was no hot water but this was rectified. And the mosquitoes were vicious. Overall our stay was pleasant. Cassie is an amazing chef.

Tranquility

The listing, including the pics, are accurate. My party of 5 adults enjoyed the quiet beautiful beach and clear water that was only a few steps away. Accommodations inside and outside were very comfortable. Cassie was a wonderful cook/housekeeper who did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. A perfect place for those who want security, beauty, peacefulness, and comfort. Veronica was prompt with communication and made very helpful instructions to neighborhood resturant owners.

Better than advertised!

The Yellow Canary Villa was an amazing getaway for our family! The proximity to the gorgeous beach was so incredibly close it was hardly believable. Clear water and soft sand made up one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever enjoyed, certainly the best we visited in Jamacia, and it was hardly ever occupied . The villa was well appointed, and Tamara was an amazing chef! Our picky eater found a new favorite dish with her Brown Chicken Stew – it was sooo delicious! She was incredibly helpful and was always ready to give advice or assist with anything at the villa.

A family treat …

Yellow Canary is a beautiful property, well maintained and my family (aged between 4-89yrs) enjoyed the locality as it is slap bang next to the beach. Tamara the housekeeper is exceptional, we were out a lot of the time but found her cooking was better than any restaurant we bought from. Veronica, the host was very welcoming (thank you for the welcome mangoes again which were appreciated). My granddaughter doesn’t understand why she had to leave, and the rest of the family already want to return.
