Outstanding Place

The "Great Escape" is a lovely place for a vacation. Far off the beaten (touristic) path, quiet, peaceful, with a large Pool and a lovely seaside terrace. Shane is a great cook, we enjoyed those meals so much.

Piece of Paradise

The house was a great place to wake up every morning. The views, the private beach and the pool were all great. We spent our nights on the beach side veranda looking directly at a perfect sunset. The house was clean, area is safe and would stay again. The owner was responsive and easy to coordinate with. Shane the property manager is a good guy, easy to work with, great cook and very help full. Thanks for the make the stay with my dad and friend memorable trip.

Truly a Great Escape!

From pick up at the airport to seeing the smiling faces of the staff which are fantastic! It's just an overall amazing experience. Nothing more relaxing then sipping a rum punch on your own beach waiting for the boat to pull up and take you down the Black River for lunch at Sister Lou's for crab and a cold Red Stripe. Quick stop at the Pelican Bar and you'll realize your in paradise. The pool is perfect for afternoon cool downs and the property is very well maintained. Mark is always quick with responding to questions and makes things easier then you can imagine. Highly recommend if you are looking for your own little piece of heaven for a week or two.

Perfect getaway

This is a great vacation spot if you want to relax!! It’s a perfect setting to get away. Special thank you to Shane for making it a memorable experience. He prepared world class dinners with local flavors. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in planning day trips to black river by boat with a few stops to include pelican bar and a local crab shack on the river. He recommended YS falls for a day trip, beautiful! We did leave the villa to grab lunch at Jack sparrows and spend some time with the locals at treasure beach. The home is dated but has all the amenities. Mark the owner was also very responsive before the trip to finalize any questions. The housekeeper and gardener were there every morning working efficiently and gave great conversation . Thank you for a wonderful Jamaican experience

Great Escape is a beautiful slice of Jamaica

and the beach house across the street is icing on the cake. You couldn’t ask for better sunsets, Red Stripe in hand! Mark was super easy to communicate with at all times. Shane was a great cook and conversationalist. He can seriously arrange anything you’d like to eat or do. He was kind and flexible with our early check in and grocery trips. Pansy left the house clean and smelling good each morning and Neville even took us on a tour of the yard with fruit trees and explained some of their uses. The kayaks were extremely fun and we spent hours hanging out on the small beach and snorkeling just offshore. The pool is huge and was always cool for midday swimming. The AC works perfectly in the bedrooms and each one has a TV. I worked a bit in the evening and didn’t have any trouble connecting nor any Wi-Fi speed issues. Shane arranged a boat ride to the Pelican Bar where we had fresh snapper with rice and peas that was heavenly. It’s definitely worth a trip with Captain Ted. Treasure Beach proper is a short ride away with shopping and more great food. Recommend Smurf’s for b’fast and Diner Delight for lunch. Calabash was our favorite of the idyllic beaches and Callaloo had nice souvenirs. Our last day we stopped by the Christmas Eve Market and caught a lovely rainbow over the yard after a short afternoon shower as we said goodbye to a wonderful trip.

A Five Star Experience

To be clear, this is not a 5 star resort, but does provide a 5 star experience, and great value for your spend. To summarize:Connections - flawless. You call the driver by cell (or text) when you clear customs, and he's there almost immediately to pick you up. Think twice if you plan to rent a vehicle; the roads in many locations are terrible. It's about a 2 1/2 drive from the airport to Villa.Accommodations - the Villa itself is a little tired. Reminded us of a well used rental cottage. But overall everything one needs. The deep pool was great , and we were in every day. The wonderful large covered deck is where we spent the vast majority of our time. Beware though that there is quite a steep path and steep steps to access the villa, and not great for the mobility challenged.Staff - pool cleaning and housekeeping were OK. The chef/manager was outstanding. We had many long conversations about the Jamaican culture, and he was great in preparing the meals. The owner was really easy to converse with, and answered all our questions upfront.Safety - the Villa has sliding latches to secure the doors overnight, as well as key code locks to secure the premises. We found the Jamaican people to be extremely friendly, and we felt totally safe at all times, both in the Villa and our trips outside.Value - excellent. This may not work for everyone, but it worked for us!

4.5 Stars!

This was our 1st vacation rental & while it wasn't perfect, we would definitely do it again! Mark (the host) is very responsive & answered my numerous questions quickly. The staff - Shane (property mgr/cook), Pansy (housekeeper), Neville (grounds keeper) are all wonderful, friendly people. Mark & Shane were accommodating for our late arrival (7pm) and late departure (2pm). Shane is a good cook & didn't even let on when I asked for something unfamiliar. He also went grocery some for us every 3 days or so. There aren't any keys, but locked gates with keypads to access both the house & the beach side club house. You're in the country, surrounded by nature, so there are bugs and other wildlife. The bug spray we brought didn't help lol. The house is close to the road. Even with the shutters closed and the a/c on, you can hear the trucks & motorcycles. The pool isn’t heated & needs to be repainted but it’s lovely to have a large pool to yourself. The deck/patio area is huge & we dined outside for all of our meals. Even though there’s a breeze, we should have taken a fan outside to divert the mosquitos. Pros - It's a large space all to yourself. It's your own private resort! All bedrooms have a/c that works very well & their own bathroom (not ensuite, but not a big deal IMHO). The property is wired for sound! We used the wireless speakers by the pool and the beach. The beach club house is very cool!!! With a bedroom (that has a/c & tv), bathroom & bar! There’s even a portable speaker if you want to take it down to the water. This makes the property unique and ideal for a group of friends or a few couples. Sunsets from the club house are beautiful and it’s fun to watch the birds fishing! Cons - The beds were hard for us. I would have liked to have gotten more sun & spent more time on the beach. At the time we were visiting (Jan), the sun wouldn’t reach the pool loungers until 12 pm & beach side, there was a tree partially shading the sun. The tides were high during our visit, so there was no beach to enjoy. The tide would eventually recede, exposing some wet sand. Mark had advised the beach varied in size. Can’t blame Mother Nature and we made the best of our stay by the pool. If you’re looking for the Ritz or Sandals, this isn’t it. If you can look past the tiny flaws, it’s simply amazing! It was the perfect first experience for us. Thank you Mark for hosting us and thank you Shane, Pansy & Neville for taking care of us!

I definitely won't say this is luxury, this place is so filthy dirty! Every surface in this place was disgusting, this place reminds me of a frat house, the smell was nauseating, made my stay here seem like forever until we were leaving. The door handles, the TV remotes! smeared with who knows what, whomever painted this place piss poor job, paint droppings everywhere. The kitchen was absolutely disgusting and filthy, the rugs are so gross and dirty, everything smelled so bad! You're forever away from any kind of mart to get supplies, which means it's will cost you $$$ to get there. Unfortunately no beach it was taken by Hurricane Melissa, you can't get into the water because of all the rocks completely unsafe. Shane the property manager was ok, as helpful as he was capable, no maid service at all. The place would be beautiful if it were taken care of properly and maintained. Would I recommend NO! This place is good for a bunch of frat boys to come and party!

Perfect Honeymoon

We stayed at Great escape from 9/12/22-9/19/22 for our honeymoon. The property is well kept and the staff is amazing. We spent our days lounging at the private beech or on the pool deck. Mark our driver was timely in airport transfers and taking us to excursions. The house staff was kind and Shane was absolutely wonderful. He arranged excursions for us as well as cooked the most fabulous meals. We felt like we made wonderful friends. We cant wait to go back in 2023 for our anniversary. Mark ( the owner) was also easy to communicate with!

This is our second time at Great Escape. I didn’t think it was possible for it to be better than the first time (2015), but it was. I love the staff, the house, the beach, the location. As I said five years ago, this is the Jamaica you won’t find in a resort. It is wonderful.

Live like a millionaire

I am never going to be a millionaire but I just spent a week on my own private beach with a full staff so I am getting an idea of what it might be like. The trip started with our driver, Rambo, picking us up at the airport. He is such a great guy. He knew just where to take us and we headed out to get provisioned. Once we had our needs for libations satisfied he suggested that we head to the Jerk Shack. This is Jamaica at its best. It is on the way to Great Escape and a must stop. We arranged to stop on the way home, it was that good. Once there, we were greeted by Shane, our majordomo for the week. He had already planned the menu and shopped per our instructions. Another wonderful experience. We were in his hands and it was not long before we got to experience his culinary skills. But not before we ran down to the beach, Red Stripe in hand, to observe the first of many glorious sunsets on OUR OWN PRIVATE FREAKIN' BEACH. There is a bedroom and full bath on the beach with a great deck and outside bar. The sound system is first class. The pool and deck at the house is great but the beach is its own private world. We spent a lot of time down there. Great Escape is very well situated for local sightseeing. The Treasure Beach community is something the people who populate the all-inclusive resorts will never get to experience; real Jamaicans, some of the nicest people we had the good fortune to meet. But there was so much more, YS Falls, the Appleton distillery and Lovers Leap all put together with Shane and Rambo as our guide. Rambo knows everyone and got us all the VIP treatment. We even stopped by his local watering hole on the way home one day. That was very cool. The rest of the staff, Pansy and Neville, were friendly but very discrete. The grounds were groomed, the beach and pool were cleaned and the house was always immaculate. I could definitely get used to this. We are already searching our calendars to book our next trip. I would give Great Escape 6 stars if I could.

It was ok

The property is absolutely stunning. Beautiful landscaping, beautiful private beach. It would have been nice to know ahead of time we would be nickel and dimed for everything. I was not happy we spent so much to stay at the villa and had to provide all of our basic living needs. We had to purchase our own toilet paper, ($4 a roll by the way), dish soap and sponges for the cook, household cleaning goods for the cleaning lady, paper towels, even our drinking water. We had to go grocery shopping every 3 days which cost the two of us $170 a trip including $20 to the driver. We tried to talk the cook into not getting so much food so we could save our money for excursions, but this seemed to be an inconvenience for him so our hands were tied. The beds in the bedrooms were so uncomfortable it stated effecting our trip. We would wake up in so much pain because of it. Our trip was supposed to be 10 days but because of American Airlines messing my wife's flights up our trip was cut short by 5 days. It would have been great to receive a partial refund for the villa, but as it was the airlines fault and not the property's fault I do not see this happening. Minus the negative feedback I provided, it was a great experience overall. Playing on the beach, swimming in the ocean, etc.

Ok,My first three star review in 20 years and it is upsetting but obviously my guests were not happy.My policy is that I take care of all basic living needs so I will gladly reimburse you for all of these.I have addressed this with my staff and it will not happen again.This is why I leave my property manager a check book for my Jamaican checking account.I supply a Pur pitcher with filters for water and some guests do buy a five gallon water jug because of consumption.Again, I will gladly reimburse you for your water expense. Food is not cheap in Jamaica and the $20 fee for close to an hour round trip to Black River in my cooks personal vehicle and own gas is reasonable.I have never had a complaint on the beds but a mattress is a very personal choice and I apologize that they were not comfortable.I am close to replacing all of my mattresses which I plan to do on my next trip in late May.I always keep the villa up to date and replace air conditioners,refrigerators,stoves,washing machines,etc. when required. I was aware you had flight issues on the way down and I turned my driver around and he picked you up on the following day.After speaking with Shane I understand you ended up staying 7 nights [Thursday to Thursday] instead of the 10 you paid for and I will gladly give you a credit for three free future nights.I will point out that I paid my staff for your entire stay and the staff is what the villa is all about. I help support three families and in 20 years I have never made a profit on this villa venture. I was told by Shane that you went with him to do the shopping which you could have used a US credit card to pay for if you did not have enough cash for excursions.The cost of toilet paper is $.85 - J per roll which is about $.68 - US.I have a system in place that if my guests are not happy to talk to Shane and if he can't settle it to have my guests or him contact me.I have been at this 20 years and have several guests come back 8 times. I wish you would have contacted me directly with your grievances rather than post them on line with a possible outcome of hurting my rentals and more importantly affecting my staff. I am a very reasonable,fair and peaceful person.

Beautiful isolated spot that is truely a great escape. Really relaxing with wonderfully kind staff.

Would definitely go back again. Despite the fact it’s an old property (not for someone wanting luxurious slick all mod cons) you can very easily relax and the place feels homely and comfortable. The ultimate must-have here is the amazing private beach and beach house with beautiful gardens and total privacy. Golden sand and warm gentle sea. And then there’s Shane who looks after you (& his housekeeping team) - such a charming gentle man (& great chef) who goes out of his way to make sure you have everything you need, The internet is pretty erratic so tv programmes are affected but in one way, having peace and quiet ensures you relax with few distractions. Take some food drink and toiletries for your first evening as the shops are a drive away. If you can’t make your own entertainment you’ll need a Rambo ( the driver) or a car if your own (& the roads are bumpy). The staff and owner make sure you have everything you need - beautiful peaceful place to chill

Well Maintained, beautiful property.

The Property owner and Staff do an excellent job. Mark makes sure you know what to expect and the staff takes care of any needs you have during your stay. What ever you want, or where ever you want to go, they are happy to accommodated you. The best part is the true chill factor and private nature of this property. Private Beach, private pool and the scenery is beautiful. There are many things you can go do, however my choice is to hang out and unplug. The Black River Tour with Captain Ted’s team is a good choice and you are picked up in a boat right on your private beach. Sisters Lous is a must stop along the way for the best Crab you can imagine. You will also Enjoy the Pelican Bar. I would say one of the most unique bars in the world. If you want to see “Jamaica”, The Great Escape is the place. Thank you Mark and Staff!

DEFINITELY A GREAT ESCAPE!!!!!!

A truly pampered vacation from the beginning to the end. Mark provided explicit details regarding the Villa and staff as well as sights to see . The Staff provided above and beyond personal attention and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Shane was awesome, not only providing three meals a day at the main home or at the beach house but also fulfilling any other request. Rambo was available to provide transportation at any time. Both Pansy (housekeeping) & Neville (grounds keeper) were very willing to assist with any request we might have had. This was definitely one of the most memorable vacations we've EVER experienced, the beautiful home and beach house on the ocean, the private beach, the kayaking, snorkeling, YS Falls, a boat trip on Black River (pick up is at the beach house), the Pelican Bar and a very unique hike to the extremely unique John Deer museum :) The entire experience is absolutely phenomenal and unforgettable

Truly Paradise

My wife and I did a destination wedding at the villa and it was great. The staff is top notch and the villa itself was perfect. It really felt like a home, not just a hotel. I highly advise going. My wife and I are going back this year to renew our vows.

Unforgettable trip. Already planned on a return trip.

Woke up everyday and said "this is paradise". Wonderful trip. Wonderful place. Wonderful people. My teenage daughters had a wonderful time snorkeling, kayaking and cooking with Shane. It's hard to put into words the beauty of the land and people. Have to go on the black river trip with Captain Ted and first mate Garrett, it's a must. Already scheduled a return trip.

Beautiful place, Great Staff

We arrived in Jamaica and was picked up at the airport by the driver Rambo (excellent driver and the cold beverages was a nice touch), it was a beautiful drive and seen so much of the beauty of the country, the stop at the jerk shack a must, we liked it so much we stopped on the way back to the airport. The house was what I was looking for...my very own paradise for 8 days!! We had a blast on the boogie board, and it was nice having the outdoor shower, and the grounds keeper Nevil kept the place immaculate, everyday there would be fresh water on the top of the steps to get the sand off your feet, again a nice touch!! The beach is very private and the beach bar area is AWESOME!! We even had a dinner served down there, and speaking of the food....Shayne and his wife are amazing cooks and servers!! We arrived to an amazing shrimp dish on our first night and then he sat down with us and took our request ( and we requested to eat Jamaican style, so we pretty much gave him the control, and he did not let us down!!) We tried lots of different foods it was absolutely perfect!! We went on a few excursions with Rambo at the wheel, he was very informative! We also (tried, actually got a ride half way there from the locals) walked to Treasure Beach, and went to Jakes for pizza...took a long time but was worth the wait! Also I would suggest the boat tour, fun way to spend the day, seen dolphins along the way VERY COOL! All in all we had an amazing time, one thing to remember you are very secluded so if you want snacks or beverages get before you go to the house! Also one day the housekeeper (who also did an amazing job) had a friend come to the house to sell us local crafts, got a hand crafted wood fold down fruit bowl, very neat!! Thanks Mark for sharing your piece of paradise!!

Can't say enough about how awesome Great Escape is!

If you want a vacation surrounded by beauty where you can visit a Jamaica that you will never find in a resort, with staff who are kind, genuine and, well, simply wonderful, then this is the place for you. This was our third time in Jamaica, but our first outside of a resort. Mark (the owner) was great. We actually had to change our dates due to medical issues, and he had no problem with that. We only went on a few excursions that Shane arranged for us. Highly recommend Captain Ted for a Black River tour with a stop at Sister Lou's and the Pelican Bar. Also did Lover's Leap with a late lunch at Jack Sprats. Rambo did the driving for us. We definitely plan to come again. Hopefully for our son's college graduation in 2017. Shane said he'd show him fishing Jamaican style. :)

Perfect Birthday Getaway!

My 60th birthday was at the end of December and we spent a wonderful week at Great Escape. What an awesome way to celebrate this milestone. My husband and I met friends on 12/28 at the Jamaica airport and thanks to Mark's tip, we were expedited thru customs by VIP Attractions (the extra $50 was SOOOOO worth it). The ride to Great Escape was a treat, with Rambo driving and being an entertaining tour guide. We made quick stop at the market in Montego Bay to stock up on snacks and adult beverages and then a stop at Border Jerk for some great chicken. What a wonderful start to an amazing vacation. The Villa was even better than we expected. Two bedrooms and two baths and a great pool (expertly maintained by Nevil) at the main house and the clubhouse at the beach was PERFECT for watching the sunset!! And Wifi!!!!! Shane prepared delicious meals for us and his rum punch should be bottled! We took a few (not many) trips to nearby attractions -- Frankly, being at the Villa was so perfect, we really didn't feel the desire to go anywhere. We did take a boat trip to the Pelican Bar and down the Black River to Sister Lou's......Captain Ted was amazing! The sea was quite choppy, but he navigated the small boat expertly. Pansy cleaned for us every day and even did some laundry for us. All and all, the combo of the villa, the staff and the laid back Jamaican culture made for a PERFECT birthday!!!

I first traveled to Jamaica when I was 19 and fell in love with the Island.I proposed to my wife Carolyn at the top of Dunn River Falls and we were married in 1991.We continued to travel back to the Island and upon a day trip came across the Treasure Beach area and shortly thereafter started our search for a property in the area.We purchased the property in 1998 and spend as much time as we can at Great Escape. Both of our boys have been to Jamaica since infants and have come to love Jamaica as much as we do.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We stayed at a nearby property during our search and the opportunity arose to buy a house already built along with a ocean front parcel and additional acreage.We refurbished the house,added a pool and built the 'clubhouse' on the ocean.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

We love the location being a few miles out of Treasure Beach and the quiet surroundings. Gorgeous sunsets,star gazing at night and a staff that is off the charts!
