White House · 整套民居 · 2室4床1.0卫 · 可住3人 · Jim's Place-Master Suite, Whitehouse, S/W coast
The Master Suite has a full service kitchen, a large great room, a master bedroom [double] and guest bedroom [3/4], 1 bathroom with a unique indoor/outdoor shower [rain off the roof option], a utility/laundry room and a large veranda with a "million dollar view" looking south west to the Caribbean Sea. Elevation - 240 feet above sea level, a 10 minute walk to the local beaches. Please note that the swimming pool is currently not in service.. The design of our villa is a unique, artist driven "rustic" space, but with many comforts for a relaxing experience. There is no A.C. nor any glass windows, as the building is designed with louvers throughout to take advantage of the fresh, cooling breezes off the sea. All beds have insect nets and using repellent after sunset is recommended. At 240 feet above sea level the south west view to the sea is spectacular over the well treed gardens. You will have WiFi and/or internet hook up direct to the modem and use of the house phone for local calls.
Vue exceptionnelle, accueil chaleureux par Paul. Grande maison. Apportez un filet contre les moustiques pour la nuit, bien l’insérer sous le matelas. Aucun restaurant, sauf petits locaux. Le chef Marc est venu avec nous au marché, il nous a cuisiné un diner et un souper. La piscine n’etait pas fonctionnelle, bien dommage. Pas d’eau chaude non plus dans la douche demie-extérieure, mais avec la chaleur c’est correct. J’ai adoré mon expérience, je voulais du calme. Merci Jim
The only positive point is the caretaker, Hepburn, who is unfortunately able to properly get the whole place tidied up due to his medical conditions. He was friendly but the place is clearly abandoned by the host. Everything was dirty, the pool was green and this for a while. You will not hear the “sound of the jungle” but the sound of herds or dogs in the neighbor house. And the place is clearly unsafe : located in a rich gated community in the middle of a poor town, the appartment cannot be properly closed and secured. Plus, the “gate” of this community is not closed and there’s nobody to check entrances. It’s far from everything and you’ll depend on overpriced chartered taxis offered by the host. Please secure the house, hire properly someone who will not sleep in the pool storage local to take care of your house and it will be a 10/10 … We stayed in many places in Jamaica but never dirty and unsafe like this
Sehr zentral gelegene, gemütliche Wohnung. Alles war sauber. Gastgeber gibt zeitnahe Antworten. Alles hat super geklappt.
Read the reviews and bring mosquito repellent. Stop at a grocery store and buy food/supplies before arriving. We only slept at the house and went to Sandals to see friends. PROS: The place is beautiful, the views alone make it worth staying. The groundskeeper (Hepburn) and the caretaker (Shantel) were great, took care of our needs (rides). Lots of games available. Comes with a washer/dryer! CONS: Mosquitoes. On our arrival there were a few dead mosquitoes on the furniture and on the bed in the smaller bedroom/office. Pool was not the cleanest and we didn’t use it. We didn’t ask for pool and office to be cleaned, I’m sure Hep and Shantel would’ve took care of it. Cold showers, not an issue for me but for my wife it was. Main bedroom needs a new mosquito net. Wifi, almost nonexistent. I would definitely stay again now that I know how to be better prepared for the reality of Jim’s Place. I know my cons list seems long but come prepared and you’ll love staying at this place.
We are located on the relatively undeveloped south west coast, 1 mile west of the fishing village of Whitehouse. You will NOT find the tourist hustle common in more developed areas. However, there are many restaurants for take-out, sit in, "rum shops" or even fine dining by the sea with a glass of wine. Our home is in a community comprised of about 240 large villa lots overlooking the sea to the south west. [Read: Amazing sunsets!] About 1/2 of these lots are developed so far. Walking is encouraged and our long-time 24/7 caretaker Paul makes and excellent guide to the local community.
We can pre-arrange a pick-up from the Montego Bay airport through our regular licenced and insured driver [Dorando]. His current rate each way is US$80.00 for the 60 minute ride over to the south coast with stops along the way for food shopping and/or refreshments. We can also suggest good car rental agencies and provide directions if you prefer to drive yourselves.
Local, inexpensive taxis are easy to find on the main road or Paul can arrange one of our regulars for you; handy for day trips further afield. We are just a 1 mile walk from Whitehouse, for food shopping, dining and banking, or a 10 minute walk down to the local beach. Our caretaker, Paul will show you around and introduce you to all the community can offer.
自我介绍
I am a semi-retired designer/artist with a 45 year career in architecture, stage, film and television design. Designing and building "Jim's Place" in Jamaica was a labour of love... beginning in 1998 with an empty 1 acre hillside lot, 240 feet above sea level and a dream of creating an artists' retreat. We began hosting non-family guests in early 2014 and have enjoyed sharing our home away with folks from many countries. We can't be there as often as we like and are lucky to have found two special people to welcome guests. Navolee is our housekeeper and excellent stand-by chef and Hepburn is our resident caretaker.
