Great location

Went with our adult kids and a couple of grandkids. 7 in all.It's a little rustic which suited us perfectly. Spotless accomadations! Pauline makes sure of that. Awesome lady!!She cooked for us and it was excellent.Tony and Jullie at the bar were wonderful as well.Our favourite though would probably Wanda (Wander?).She's the household dog.We all fell in love with her!My favourite about her is she barks and chases the local police. Laughed my butt off!!! Was safe in the area. I wasn't out but my kids were out almost every night.Never a problem : ).

Wish we were still there!

Traveled with 9 of us, including 3 tweens! We spent 5 wonderful nights in this "home" FAR away from home. Loved the access to the beach, the upstairs suite for the tweens, the large kitchen, bathrooms in each room, and the outdoor space to play dominoes. The company of Tony and Pauline make it feel like "home". The property is in the middle of 7 mile beach and provides access to everything that is Negril: sunsets, rum punch, waves, vendors, music and the best dog too. Wanda is a love! Property is not 5 star perfection - if you are wanting that, but we loved it! We ALL wish we were still there! It is more than a VRBO - it is an experience of community, people, and culture that make up this beach vibe! Tony's Hut is so great! Thanks for everything! We can't wait to return!

Little Piece Of Heaven

Absolutely loved this place 💞 We did not want to leave! It is right on the beach and Oh the sun sets are breath taking! The host Alison was wonderful! She was easy to get ahold of & very quick to respond! We flew into Montego Bay airport & had previously arranged for Taxi driver Banton to pick us up. Alison recommended him & he is absolutely wonderful!Highly recommend him for any errands. I did have to down load the Whats App to communicate for free with the locals there, so it didn’t cost an arm and a leg on my cell phone bill. The house, I’m glad I read the reviews before going as someone said the house is not a five star hotel if that’s what you are looking for, Which I was not, it was exactly what I was looking for just basic & 🤔 down to earth lol! Nothing fancy. A few tweaks would make it perfect for us & that would be an a/c in the kitchen it was warm in there during the day & when cooking on the gas stove, it really got warm in there. The bedrooms down stairs have an a/c but the one with all the big windows didn’t cool as well as the other bedroom it would run you out of the room lol. We did tour the upstairs bedroom that didn’t have an A/C for future stays with More family 🤗 & it was pretty warm up there. A small outside grill would be nice for cooking on to help keep from heating up the kitchen. Pauline has such a kind & godly soul! I wanted to bring her home with us! Things didn’t think to get at the store before we got there were salt/pepper, oil,paper towel

Best parts are the location, people on site, and beach!

You can’t beat the location of this house - right in the middle of beautiful 7-mile beach! The house is part of a property that includes the quintessential little beach bar run by Tony the bar owner (bar is Tony’s Hut) who is also the caretaker of the house. It was so much fun being able to stroll out of the house, swing by the bar to grab a drink, and slide into the beautiful ocean. Bar isn’t super busy which is nice, just a few folks every hour or so. It’s very quiet by 10pm and you cannot hear bar guests from the house rooms. Julie is the other bartender when Tony is taking care of the propane she is kind and very knowledgeable about the area. The house isn’t perfect, as the owner says, but it has everything you need. Best part for our two families was a full bathroom with every bedroom. 3 of 4 rooms have AC that works very well even in the higher temp months. Other great part of house is Pauline who comes to tidy the house, replace linens, and keep it neat. She is a lovely human being who exudes kindness and we loved meeting her. Tony makes you feel well cared for and very safe. He has his trusty family dog Wanda that just hangs out around the bar and 2 dogs in the front near the street. Those 2 dogs add little extra safety measure at night feels extra secure. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the house was as described, beach was better than I imagined, and people were really great.

Like Home Away From Home

If we could have stayed forever everyone in our group would still be there. The house is fantastic and the location phenomenal! We had the absolute best vacation of a lifetime. Pauline took such good care of us and is the sweetest of ladies, we actually had tears when saying goodbye! And Tony, well he was like having the coolest dad looking over us the entire time, such a great man and full of happiness and laughter. We have no complaints at all. Internet was a little spotty but we didn't really care because who has time for phones when in paradise! We had a very full itinerary of adventures so did not get to take advantage of Paulines cooking but she would have if we had had time! We were in a group of 8 aged 25 to 52 and had the most memorable vacation ever. Rudy the driver is full of surprises and will take you anywhere you wish to go, his son Damien also drove us and they are both truly wonderful people. Everyone there is beyond friendly. Take your bug spray, the mosquitos liked us alot lol and only pointer I would add to the description is that the town limits the water at night from about 11pm to 6am so get your showers in early! We will be back!
