Charmig, tyst bergstopp villa: Upplev Jamaica som en jamaicansk

Ställ högt på ett berg, Spring Mountain Villa ger dig personlig integritet, en fantastisk utsikt och en semester som ingen annan. Green Island är en jamaicansk stad bara några kilometer från de vita sandstränderna och restaurangerna i den världsberömda Negril. Din värd Marvia bor precis intill och kommer att ge en genuin jamaicanska semester anpassad till din smak! Hon är tillgänglig för att laga mat (Marvia är en stor kock), vägleda och transportera dig till de många aktiviteter som finns lokalt. Hela 3 tunnland förening är inhägnad och höljet innehåller två villor, många inhemska fruktträd (mango, papaya, banan, kokos), och en köksträdgård. För en blygsam avgift kan du gå djuphavsfiske, flod fiske, rida, besöka fågelskyddsområde och även vandra till fallen. Negril stranden, bara 20 minuter bort med bil, är en sju mil halvmåne ringad med barer, restauranger och vattenaktiviteter.

Det finns ett biljardbord på plats med en bar, luftkonditionering och Wi-Fi. Det finns gott om lokala aktiviteter och vi erbjuder transport till Negril eller andra attraktioner.

Spring Mountain Benefit Corp är befriade från federal inkomstskatt enligt avsnitt 501 (c) 3 i Internal Revenue Code. Eventuella bidrag över marknadsvärdet för din vistelse på Spring Mountain Villa är avdragsgilla enligt avsnitt 170 i kodexen. Spring Mountain Fördel Corp är en offentlig välgörenhet i stället för att hjälpa lokalbefolkningen i Jamaica.

Marvia, som har två små barn, har många års erfarenhet som turist förkläde. Hon talar flytande engelska och vet sin verksamhet mycket väl. Hon är född och uppvuxen i området. Du kan känna dig trygg och säker i hennes vård. Hon kommer att eskortera dig till billigare affärer och butiker samt avskilda och avlägsna områden, om du vill, för en blygsam avgift.

Om du gillar stranden, det är rätt väg att gå: den vita sanden på Negril, solnedgångar, de nattliga aktiviteter står till ditt förfogande! Du behöver inte ta itu med besväret med turisthotell, med en myriad av regler och förordningar. Om du vill kan du koppla av på stranden varje dag och tillbringa hela tiden frekventera de lokala barer och restauranger. Varje hotell på stranden har en bar och en strandområdet som är öppna för allmänheten och de flesta har bekvämligheter som du kan njuta av (t.ex. hängmattor, en pool och solstolar) medan du nedlåtande deras etablering.

Om du gillar klippor, kan du tillbringa hela dagen Snorkel från klipporna på ett antal olika barer och restauranger med utsikt över havet. Du kan rida dit med bil eller ta en tur på en glasbotten båt runt stranden till klipporna. Du kan se de berömda klipporna från båten, snorkla på reven, simma till klipporna (och dyk, om du är modig!).

Det finns många glas botten båtar som finns i Negril att snorkla på reven eller för lunch på en närliggande ö, där du kan festa på hummer, fisk och kyckling (dryck ingår). Du kan gå djuphavsfiske eller älvfiske, om det är din njutning.

Du kan svalka dig och gå flod simning (sötvatten) vid vattenfallet. Det är en lätt vandring genom grönskande landskapet.

Om du är en utforskare, då detta är den semester du vill ha. Du kan vandra på Roaring River och Mayfield Falls eller ta en dagstur till fågelskyddsområde och njuta av naturen i din egen takt.

We loved the property! Marvia, the property manager was awesome. She went above and beyond to meet and sur pass my expectations. I didn't want to leave. The peace and serenity was wonderful. I will be back. However, if you are looking for a oceanfront resort type of place, this is not the place for you.

Beware! Tourist trap. No hot water, over charge, Wifi is very weak,. Lots lots of mosquitoes.

If without host Marvia, I would give this property 1star. The host Marvia is living next door on same lot, she is very helpful and nice. And tried her best to help us. But there are lots of thing beyond her ability. The house in rental is in serious need to be updated and maintenance to be just livable. The house description says 4 bed rooms sleep upto 12 people. Actually it has only three bedrooms has queens. total 4 beds. The 4th "bedroom" is unfinished basement, nothing inside. Our group has 6 people , have no problem here. The biggest problem is NO HOT WATER in the whole house!!! we was told first it is solar heated, will have hot water 2nd day when sun comes out. But 2nd morning , still no hot water, we have to cancel the trip and leave earlier. When I contact with owner Megan, she claim the water is not so cold, we still can take shower without hot water???!!! We absolutely can not accept this excuse. We are family with two senior and two kids, I can not believe owner ask us take cold shower after whole water playing. Another big issue is the wifi is very very weak , on and off from time to time. I ask owner by message before booking, whether the wifi is working and can stream the football game since we have very important semifinal game that night. I only go ahead booked after getting confirmed information. But reality is the wifi is working, but very very very weak, can barely load web-pages. We missed that game, can only see short clips afterword. Beside these two unacceptable conditions, the whole house are in very bad conditions, exposed wire in the living room, open outlet box everywhere. No any cooking utilities . ( Marvia is great cooker, appreciate her great meal with reasonable price). Even with all this hassle, we still tried to communicate with owner, unfortunately Megan does not admit any of the above . And she even suggested us took cold water shower, which is not cold in her standard !! Beside all this issue, we paid $225 which is more than one day price, she refuse to refund the overpaid potion. She claim the payment will help local people. But that is not the reason to over charge customer with unlivable condition house. But it needs to be win win solution. Not only help local people but treat tourists like nobody. And not a good way to do business. You can cheat guests once, but no one will come back again. This stay is the only bad memory we experienced in two week Jamaica vacation. Stay away!

Great Time

I had a great time visiting Jamaica while staying at Megan's place. I travelled by myself and always felt welcome there, starting with Marvia picking me up at the airport. She and her friend brought me to the a local place to eat which was wonderful. It was a short stay for me (5 nights) but we packed a lot in while I was there. We went to the beach in Negril, we went fishing with Blacks, went on a Catamaran ride where we went snorkeling and visited Rick's, and also visited some local places to eat. It was great because Marvia set them all up and drove me around when I needed it. The area is also beautiful where Megan's place is - not only the immediate landscape but the view from the mountains. The place itself is nice in a simple way. For me, I didn't want to stay at a resort - I wanted to experience and mix in with the people of Jamaica. This trip did not disappoint. Stayed 3/31 - 4/5

Greatest vacation my husband and I have ever been on. If you want to live and see the real country

It's out there but it's so worth it. You need to be looking for the real Thing. The people of Jamaica are a lesson in love, peace and respect. Our host Marvia is one of the jewels of Jamaica. She is an angel. She Loves living on her mountain, doesn't want to live any where else. If you're looking for are adventure, off the grid, the real thing. Felt safe and secure in her care. Peace, love and respect. Can't wait to go back. love u Marvia

An unforgettable experience to live like a local

We stayed for 3weeks during the Christmas holidays with our two adult children, it really was authentic Jamaican country living. Marvia is an amazing cook and host. The villa is clean, and maintained to the best of their ability. She did what ever she could to cater to us. Her two children and family pets (dogs, pig and goat) enriched our stay. We felt very safe and welcome in the community. Marvia was able to show us the real Jamaica with many personal custom guided tours to waterfalls, beaches and local towns. We would recommend this place to a friend that is looking for a cottage like holiday in paradise.

Nice!

My husband, three teenage kids and I stayed here over Christmas. One of the most interesting vacations ever! So nice to not be at a resort and be able to experience a bit of life with the locals. We were still able to enjoy the beach at Negril so it was really best of both worlds. The rental property is on top of a hill next to the home of Marvia and Jocko and their 2 young children who you can't help but fall in love with. :) My favorite thing about staying here was waking up in the morning and having a wonderful cup of coffee while sitting on the front porch feeling the warm sun and taking in all of the sounds. Chickens, goats, horse, dogs all roam around the property. You could often hear a radio playing from a neighbor across the valley or the sounds of someone out working. It was wonderful. Marvia is a gracious host and was brilliant about all of the local floral and fauna. We were able to sample many of the local flavors, right from their property. Fresh coconut right of the tree, gungo beans, turmeric, breadfruit and the best bananas ever. We were there for Boxing Day and they had a party, so that was a unique experience too. The accommodations are rustic but we embraced it and had a great time. Not only did we have a nice time enjoying the warmth and sun but we made new friends! :)

Great time! Unlike the usual Jamaica experience.

My wife and I recently stayed at Marvia's guest house and had a blast. This is definitely not like the typical "all-inclusive resorts," and we were delighted with our experience. The quiet country area offered sublime views. We woke up early every morning and basked in the sunrise - which was amazing from the back porch. Sunsets were equally epic from the front. Marvia's family and neighbors were all super nice and friendly. The house is a 20-30 minute from the nearest "touristy" city - Negril. Marvia organized a driver to take us wherever we wanted. The driver that she used was punctual, polite, friendly, and professional. We most enjoyed going to the Half-Moon beach/resort. We weren't bugged by the parade of "hustlers" that we discovered at Negril. Marvia always knows about a lot of other hidden gems that aren't typically frequented by tourists. In particular - ask about the place with her favorite coco-bread and patties. Marvia is also a great cook. She prepared a couple dinners for my wife and I and they were delicious. The house was exactly as advertised and really we wanted for nothing. I really can't say enough good things about our experience. I'd be delighted to serve as a reference for Marvia and talk openly about the details of our experience

Beautiful location and great hosts

We stayed on the upper half of this house for a week. We were in town for a wedding at Beaches Resort in Negril - about a 20-25 min drive away. The host Marvia is wonderful and an amazing cook. All our favorite meals were the ones she prepared - delicious! So much better than the restaurant food in Negril. The upper half of the house has a very large bedroom, living room, bathroom and kitchen. It was more than enough space for our family of three. The view on the front and back porches is breathtaking (mountains in the back & ocean in the front). My daughter loved playing with Marvia's sweet children and seeing the baby goats and other occassional livestock that happened through. Marvia drove down to meet us in Grand Island when we first arrived. It took us a couple tries to learn the route up the mountain, but people were always very helpful if we missed the turn. The road up to the house (Marvia's neighbor's house) is a quite rugged but my husband managed well in our rental car. It was so nice to stay in this town away from the tourist trap of Negril. We were at the resort for a couple days for the wedding (day passes) but on the other days, there is a public beach (parking ~$4) right next to Beaches that was lovely. This was a great spot to stay and really enjoy Jamaica. Thank you Marvia for being such a wonderful host!!

breathtaking views

what a marvelous vacation location! set atop the mountain, one has views of the mountain range from the back veranda and of the sea from the front veranda. spacious home with living room, full kitchen and 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. tv and air conditioning! private, quiet, secure. only a few miles from the glorious beach of negril. this experience is memorable. see and "feel" the real jamaica as few do. if you choose the "meal plan", you won't be sorry! the food is authentic jamaican and delicious. transportation to any destination is available. the "host" family next door is as attentive as you want them to be. warm and personable. an eco-vacation rather than a typical tourist trip.

Marvia and I built this property in 2005 in order to allow tourists to experience local life in Jamaica, and to bring much needed money to the area. Spring Mountain Benefit Corp, the nonprofit, uses all proceeds from rentals to benefit local people in the area. I've been going to Jamaica for over 30 years and have been 'sisters' with Marvia since 1998. I have always loved the place, the people and the culture and want to help in any way I can.

Marvia's major in school was agriculture and she is very well versed in all types of plants and animal care.

Varför värden valde detta boende

The location of this property is fantastic. You can see the sunrise from the back veranda and the sunset from the front veranda. It is secluded, high on the hill, and surrounded by farm land to ensure privacy. It is a beautiful location.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt
