The place is in a good location and what really makes it great is that we got a card for free access to the local beach. It was very clean when we arrived and Chris, the superintendent was very helpful and accommodating. He even lent us his umbrella when it rained! The grounds are well kept and create a nice clean setting. There's even a swimming pool!

A Wonderful Stay in a Charming CottageMy daughter and I had a lovely stay in this charming cottage, set in beautifully maintained grounds. The peaceful surroundings, combined with access to a swimming pool, made it a perfect getaway. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away, and Ocho Rios town is only a 7-minute drive—very convenient for exploring the area. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return the next time we’re in Ocho Rios.

Second time around

We rented this cottage back in January for 5 weeks. We're back for 2.5 weeks and are still loving it. Chris the property manager is great and always comes through, whatever you need. The beach is 5 minutes walk away and has a wonderful restaurant with great food and service.

Private and quiet! Exactly what I was looking for.

Great place short walk to beach. You had to share the beach with the big resort guests spilling over from next door but there was always a lounger or spot available. Restraunt in beach had great food. Just a nice spot for some quiet relaxation.

I stayed in the small cabin at Patiently Waiting in Drax Hall, and while the property itself is beautiful and had everything I needed pool, hottub, security. What truly made the experience unforgettable was Chris, the property manager.From the moment I arrived, Chris went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. He was incredibly accommodating, always available to answer questions, and quick to provide anything I needed during my stay. His warmth and genuine hospitality made me feel completely at home — it’s rare to find someone who cares so much about making a guest’s experience special.The cabin itself was cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for a relaxing stay, but Chris is the reason I’ll remember this trip so fondly. He turned a great stay into an amazing one. If you’re looking for not just a beautiful property but also the kind of care and attention that makes you feel truly valued, this is the place.

Family reunion

My brothers stayed in this cottage as the larger of the family stayed in the main house. It was great being close to everyone. It was as advertised. We hung out mostly at the main house with our extended family. Chris was great! He assisted us with transport, cooking and whatever was needed during our stay.

This beach is only used by Mammee Bay Estate residents, RIU residents also people who visit Jamaica by the Cruise Ships.

It is a very airy rental also very private, the property also has a fully-equipped outdoor spa right next to the property

This property is different from other properties on the island due to its location there is a sense of beauty that is unexplainable.

The sea water is a great medical help also great fun for the children, this is within 5 minutes walking distance away from our Cottage.
