About this property
Home away from home in the heart of St. Mary!
Classic extraordinary old-world luxury meets contemporary elegance. This serene sanctuary will become your home away from home on your idyllic vacation. This abode offers you opulent living space in sophisticated luxury.
The Big White Villa is the perfect base camp for all your holiday adventures! The property also includes 2 Double-bedroom self-contained studio apartments for guests that want to have their private accommodation.
Boasting 9000 square feet of high ceilings and porcelain tiled floors, this accommodation comfortably sleeps 14 guests, managed by suitably qualified friendly staff.
A prime location steps away from the beach. This is ideal for large groups or family getaways.
THE PROPERTY
This beautiful modern home is secured by automatic gates and is accessible by two drive ways and a walking route to the main entry.
Walk through the front doors to find the spacious living area filled with natural light, plush leather sofas, a 60-inch 4K flat-screen Smart TV and a most exquisite designed bar, ready to be stocked with all your favourite alcoholic beverages.
The updated and fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, making it easy to entertain guests.
Prepare your favourite home-cooked meal using the modern gas/electric cooker indoors then eat at the 4-person dining table on the veranda or why not go alfresco dining poolside.
Each bedroom in the home features a comfortable queen-sized bed and en-suite bathroom. The master suite is complete with luxurious bedding for your ultimate comfort. Wake up feeling rested each morning as sunlight illuminates the entire room.
The master bedroom en-suite bathroom hosts a hot-tub, double sink vanity unit and shower.
The other full bathrooms feature a shower and generous counter space for getting ready each day.
The ground floor bedroom is suitably adapted with special equipment for assisting individuals who are elderly or mobility impaired.
THE LOCATION
This amazing vacation home is located 5 miles from the centre of Ocho Rios, in a gated community, giving extra security and peace of mind to our guests.
The villa is situated on a historical heritage site, Rio Nuevo Battle site which includes a museum and park. Ask any of the neighbours and they will only be too happy to tell the stories associated with this site.
The area is peaceful and quiet enough for you to enjoy a relaxed environment, but near enough for you to travel to the hustle and bustle of Ocho Rios town centre if you so desire.
Follow the pathway next to the home and you will stumble onto Rio Nuevo beach that joins the river. This beach is quite stony and rugged and more suitable for the adventurous type. Walk along the coastline, you will see all the beautiful silver sandy beaches that coast is famous for. There are several other nature parks and beaches just minutes away, such as Bamboo Beach or James Bond Beach.
Take a 10-minute drive north to the town of Ocho Rios and all it has to offer with its trendy boutiques, antique shops and delicious restaurants. Be sure to stop by Fisherman’s Point to buy some fresh lobsters straight from the boat.
TRANSPORT

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Lusack

Welcome to The Big White Villa! My name is Cynthia and I am so happy that you have found my home.
I am a Jamaican grandma who currently resides in the UK with my children, granddaughter and fur-baby.
I love to create beautiful spaces inside and outside the home, hence why The Big White Villa is not your ordinary rental property.
As a proud Jamaican, I want to ensue that everyone gets the opportunity to embrace the culture and the wonderful land that I call home.
I cannot wait to host you!
One Love, Cynthia x
Why they chose this property
My family moved to St. Mary over 50 years ago and I wanted to find a special place to retire close to my family memories.
The Rio Nuevo Battle site is soaked in history and beauty, whilst giving breath taking views from my home.
What makes this property unique
Spacious rooms/studios which can bring a family/friends together, but also give you space for when you want to be apart.
We can lock off two of the bedrooms in the main part of the house leaving 3 bedrooms
This can house up to 6 people
Cost would be £250 per night
Cleaning £60
The view of the River and sea are breath taking.
As the villa is located within a secured gated community it is very peaceful which can be a sanctuary after visiting the live spots of the island
