I didn't like the distance from everything. But when you get there it a very beautiful house. The view was nice and the house was very clean. Over time the driving distance grow on you. We had a great time. We love everything about the house and parking was plus. Had to check out one day early because of the timing of our flight. We will stay again and would recommend to others. Thanks for having us

About the host
Hosted by Betty Scott
We are a professional couple who was born in the Caribbean and have lived in 4 different countries. We have travelled, experienced different cultures, enjoyed a variety of cuisines and have hospitality in our veins. When offering short term or long term accommodation, we remember all the things we wished we had while renting (in our earlier years) and so we strive to have those items/things in all our rental accommodation. Our management team for Villa Retreat is made of 2 people (in the USA) and 2 people on the grounds there in Jamaica. Although you have this entire house to yourself, our Jamaican managers are only 50 minutes drive away. We are highly connected in Jamaica (which means that) we know people who operate tour buses/tour vehicles including JUTA, MegaBus, chartered tour services, chefs, wedding chapels, bridal stores and restaurants (so just in case you need a referral to those services, just ask us)
Why they chose this property
Villa Retreat (at Tranquility Glades in Retreat, St. Mary, Jamaica) appeals to our fascination with height. This newly constructed hilltop residential community offers a combination of lush hills, greenery and a view of the Caribbean Sea. It's rural (which is great for tourists/visitors wanting to be off the beaten track but still close enough to tourist attractions). This villa is kissed by the winds that flows through the house itself.
What makes this property unique
Fully furnished 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom vacation home/villa, Villa Retreat offers a home away from home, relaxation and tranquility. You and your group of 3 - 6 people have this whole house to yourself. There is a full kitchen waiting there for those who like to practice their culinary skills or learn to make popular Jamaican dishes (such as Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, fried plantains etc.). This full sized kitchen offers a refrigerator, a 6 burner gas stove, microwave, a mini refrigerator, a dining table with 4 chairs, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, glassware, dinnerware etc. The living room area boast a comfortable sofa set to lounge in and watch movies on a very large flat screen TV or simple sip a glass of wine while enjoy the cool mountain breeze that flows through the house.
