About this property
Far-I Guesthouse Modern studio apartment in rural Jamaica
If you are interested in having an authentic Jamaican experience, we would love to welcome you to a modern studio apartment situated in rural community.
The property is conveniently located between the tourist capital (Montego bay) and the business capital of Jamaica (Kingston). It is 48 Km from Ochio Rios and 38 Km from Kingston. Both of these towns are easily accessible from the new highway with a travel time of approximately 30 minutes in either direction.
The area is peaceful with many orange and banana farms, which adds to the tranquilty of the area. The property itself is littered with fruit trees and flowers, and is a 10-15 minutes walk (5 mins drive) from the cooling Rio Cobre river, which is ideal for a refreshing swim on a warm day.
Guests have their own entrance to the studio apartment and all the connecting outdoor spaces.The apartment is open plan, with a fully equipped kitchen and all the modern appliances. There is a large patio and a smaller balcony area, both of which only the guests to the apartment has access. The apartment itself, is on the first floor of an existing family house. There is a private gate to access the property, and parking is avaliable for one car.
There is always someone on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Interaction with guests. Your stay may be tailored according to your needs. We will walk through the studio with you on your arrival, and show you around the property. If you have any questions, and/or requests throughout your stay, we will try our best to accomodate you.

About the host
Hosted by Kenisha
I am a 38 year old mom of two, who moved away from Jamaica some years ago. I however return to vacation there a part of the year with my kids and husband.
A lot of love and care has gone into building this apartment. All the windows and doors were built by local craftsmen. The kitchen and some of the furniture by my husband. In addition, the entire upstairs has been designed by myself and my husband. The apartment and the yard are works in progress as we hope to continue to make improvements. In keeping with that we built a swimming pool in July and have planted a lot of fruit trees and built a new sand box , which we are sure would make any small visitors happy.

Why they chose this property
My mother and her very extensive family grew up in a community not far from the house. Although I do not currently reside in Jamaica, my mom and I decided that it would be an ideal place, given the proximity to other family members. It is a great place to relax and get away from the stresses of city life.
