About this property

Caribbean Dawn - A Large family Villa With Access to a on-site Private Beach

Caribbean Dawn is located in Mammee Bay Estate close to Ocho Rios town centre. It is a private area of holiday villas and residential homes with access to Mammee Bay's private beach club. Our villa is spacious, comfortable and well presented with good quality furnishings, artworks and plants. We want the place to feel like home from home. So come on in, and check us out.

You enter via a nice patio into a huge lounging area that is separated by two archways at the centre. A well equipped kitchen leads off from here which was built by a local craftsman. There is a separate dining area that leads out to a courtyard area.

Villa Caribbean Dawn, is located in a secure gated community of resort villas, that has a beautiful private beach, which has a restaurant and bar and a gift shop.

The vista from the beach is amazing. Your gaze can follow the curve of the bay all the way down to the cruise ship pier in Ocho Rios. (Take a look at the photo that my husband took). The beach is protected by a coral reef just a few strokes from shore. All this is just 10 minutes walk from the villa.

The villa has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which is ideal for families and friends to share. There are two master bedrooms that can be booked separately. These are situated at the opposite ends of the villa, so you will have all the privacy you need.

For those who want a longer stay, we also offer a Winter Snowbird package. Guests have the opportunity to spend some of the winter months at a private villa. This could be your home from home where you can just relax and forget about the cold weather and simply enjoy the Jamaican sun.

The Bamboo Master is a large room with a smart television, a private kitchenette and en-suite shower room. This room has direct access to the patio.

The Mahogany Master is a large room with a smart television, walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. This room has direct access to a courtyard garden. Both Master rooms have full use of the entire villa and gardens.

The large lounging area has cable television, music system, and a games area. The Lounge leads to a ¾ acre garden with tropical fruit bearing trees such as Mangos, Coconuts, Breadfruit, Ackee, Banana, and tropical flowers.

Great location, helpful staff and spacious accommodation

The villa was wonderful and spacious, we were 3 couples and another adult. The grounds around the house were beautiful and we enjoyed the privacy this gave us, as well as the fresh coconut juice we had from the the trees. The octagon table was great for our evening meals. Kay and Tyrone, the owners, were readily available to answers any of our queries. Jean the helper was friendly, informative and very helpful. She came 3 times a week and changed our towels and sheets. Jean also did our washing ( as the washing machine was temperamental). The Mammee Bay estate was very beautiful, well kept and felt very safe to walk around. The Mammee Bay beach was a 10 minute stroll away with free sun lounges and a lovely cafe selling delicious food and serving cold drinks.

It was truly AMAZING! Spacious with a Caribbean feel.

Every room was so lovely and the home has great character. Short walk to an awesome beach with small coral reef and fantastic restaurant on the beach. The only reason we didn't give the home 5 stars is that we would prefer air conditioning throughout the home, it's only in bedrooms but those are nice and cold for sleeping. The fruit on the grounds is absolutely delicious. The pictures are completely accurate. If you want an authentic old Caribbean feel, with ceiling fans and open concept, this is the place for you. We plan on returning.

Lovely spacious villa

Caribbean Dawn is a lovely spacious villa within the safe and well maintained Mammee Bay estate. The Villa has four seizable bedrooms all with air conditioning. There is a very large living area divided into different areas all well laid out. Large double doors look out onto the beautifully maintained garden that includes two mango trees. The villa also comes with a pool table and that most important of modern requirement wifi. A short pleasant walk along a coconut lined avenue takes you to a private beach with a beach bar. It's not cheap but then you a paying for good service and a view to across the sea. There are various activities available or just enjoy a cold beer or cocktail. We were met by Audrey who introduced us to the villa as well as Nellie who comes in each weekday and will cook for a small payment. Her ackee and saltfish went down a storm. Without doubt Nellie is a gem. A short drive along the coast takes you to the busy town of Ocho Rios which contains a number of restaurants. We would recommend Miss T's just past the amazingly busy clock tower on the left. Good quality food at reasonable prices with a number of vegetarian options. Just watch the car's undercarriage when you go into their car park. Evita's is up the hillside and a little more expensive but definitely worth a visit. For those who prefer quick food then try the Island Grill and Juci Patties. There is now a new toll road just down the road from the villa that takes you into Kingston and Spanish Town. State of the art road which goes through some stunning countryside. The national art gallery in Kingston is definitely worth visiting. So for those looking for a good safe family sized villa in a lovely setting, near to the beach and within easy access to Ocho Rios then like us Caribbean Dawn could be the place for you.

About the host

Hosted by Kay Porter Whyte

We love our home in Jamaica and visit often. It’s really lovely to be able to share it with our family, friends and guests. We’ve lived in London for over 40 years but now we spend 3 – 4 months a year enjoying the Jamaican sun.
After enjoying 3 family vacations in Mammee Bay Estate, we finally bought our Jamaican home from the family of Bryon Lee, who was one of Jamaica’s premier music pioneers. Byron Lee and his group the Dragonaires brought Caribbean music to the attention of the world.

Why they chose this property

This is a nice comfortable villa that is home from home with lots of space where you can relax and enjoy the space.

We bought our home mid 2000 and it looked very different than it does now. It has been a labour of love bringing it up to date with new bathrooms, kitchen and fixtures and fittings. But you can still see that the bones of the property is a mid century home.

Our villa is just 7kl on the outskirts of the Ocho Rios town centre.
Ocho Rios was once a sleepy fishing village but it has an outstanding water feature. Dunns River Falls is a beautiful, natural waterfall which is fed by a underground spring. Thousands, most probably, millions have enjoyed climbing this amazing waterfall. It has a rock formation that terraces down with recess pool areas. The water just cascades beautifully, more than 54 meters down to the Caribbean sea.

In addition to Dunns River Falls, we have Mystic Mountings, and Dolphin cove on our door step. So why not climb a waterfall; take a cable car ride up a Mystic mountain; bob sled down again and have a refreshing swim with Dolphins. Later, you can just chill on Mammee Bay Estate private beach and watch the sun go down. With a sundowner of course!

What makes this property unique

Villa Caribbean Dawn is a place where families can come together and share the space in comfort. The photographs of the huge living area does not do it justice. It's wonderful being there with my family - four generations have spent many happy times there.
