Very pleasant villa
Stayed here before over 12yrs ago and they have definitely made some improvements to the property. Overall our stay was good, host was very friendly and helpful. Lots of beautiful outside space. Some minor things that would help. Get rid of the guest need to provide own toilet paper sign in the bathroom - this is basic and should be provided. Villa sleep 10 but enough towels not provided in the rooms. Some welcome drinks even water would have been nice. Would stay again and would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at the villa
We arrived late to the villa as had delays with the flight and Chris the manager was there to greet us and explain everything to us he was very friendly and welcoming we stayed for two weeks and Chris was excellent throughout our stay we can’t fault him the pool was wonderful and the beach was excellent and just a short walk from the villa there was a supermarket near by too the only thing we would suggest is to have the option of a welcome pack on arrival with the essentials ie t bags coffee milk sugar bread butter juice water even if that comes as an extra charge as we arrived late and could have done with a cuppa would recommend to others to stay there thanks for an amazing time

Villa Patiently Waiting
We had a lovely stay at the villa but it was marred by the fact that the other small properties in the compound are also sold use of the pool. We had to have some very uncomfortable conversations when other guests just appeared in the pool. The listing states that it is a private pool and they rely on the good nature of the guests to work out whether you allow other guests ( not staying in the villa) to use it. We felt this was deceitful and unfair to all parties but I have been assured by the owner Alvin that the listing will change to say Shared pool. The pool area is not big enough to share with the other properties, which we were also unaware of existing on the same site. Overall the villa is dated but comfortable and good value for the location. The Bamboo Blu beach is lovely and residents who stay in the villa have free access to the private beach, free sunbeds and 15% off all food and drink which we considered to be a great perk of the Villa.

Great experience
This was our first visit to Jamaica and it won’t be our last. The owners property manager Chris lives on site and is always available to help with pretty much anything you need. The property is spacious with plenty of space for larger families to spread out and enjoy this lovely property which has its own pool and jacuzzi. The beach club which residents have access to is right on the door step and there is a vast array of bars and restaurants locally. We hired a car which made visiting a number of local areas of interest easy. Many thanks to Alvin the owner and especially Chris for making our stay a memorable experience.

A little gem
This place was amazing for us. My family loved the pool. Chris was amazing!!!! There was no ac in the family areas but we easily adapted. Rooms were cool and the showers were amazing!!!! I love hot water even in Jamaica. The beach was a short walk away and was sooooo nice. We stayed 3 places this visit and patiently waiting was by far a diamond in the rough. We had other family members staying in the cottage on the property as well. There were two more apartments or accommodations attached to the house. You can not see them from the pic. They were occupied but we hardly saw them. However one night one of the couples were at the pool and was a little surprised to see them. They left without incident. Otherwise we had the place to ourselves. I would definitely visit again. I would like to occupy the entire villa next time with more family!!!

Just What the Dr. Ordered
We loved this place and especially enjoyed the company of Christopher Ludford, the care taker. It's located in a nice gated community just outside of Blue Bamboo Beach Bar/Restaurant. You access the beach using resort passes, about a 5 minutes walk outside the property. We also walked to grocery store just down the way. Once there we opted to catch a taxi back. There are only 2 things missing to make this place perfect. Air conditioning is desperately needed in the common area. During the daytime, even with the windows and doors open it gets HOT!!! It would also be nice to have someone to sweep the floors, 2-3 times per week. This way the sand/dirt and whatever doesn't gather on barefeet.

Awesome property & great stay
Stayed here with friends and family for a birthday weekend. The property is beautiful, clean and spacious. Centrally located in St Ann with a beach access and close to grocery store (Boot), gas station, restaurants and adventure parks. Very well kept property with fruit trees and gardening. Also the house has many sitting rooms to entertain. I would recommend to persons for a family or friend relax retreat.

Excellent Customer Service
I must say that upon arrival, at first glance, the property seemed all that was advertised, and in many ways it was. There are some important upgrades that need to be done to the property to make it more livable and enjoyable. However, the customer service by Chris was excellent, from start to finish. He was so welcoming and pleasant that I somewhat overlooked the needed upgrades to a certain extent. Great host and excellent cook! Chris is a great guy. I would stay at this property again if certain necessary and important upgrades were undertaken; for, you cannot beat the customer service and its affordability.

Host profile image
Hard working interior decorator who's passion is to make all my guests happy

I am married with 5 lovely children.

I love sun, music, sea and sand.

Good food especially fish and fruits

Why they chose this property

Because it is simply beautiful inside and out also in one of the best locations on the island

This villa is high-quality with a top class interior and exterior along with 24-hour security.

The interior of our villa is fantastic with class all the way through from the first step until the last.

The rooms are very large and airy so you do not feel boxed in.

The surroundings of our villa is stunning

Along with the fact that it is a 5-minute walk away from one of the best beaches on the island, this is a no-brainer.

I have viewed many villas only a few reach our standards. The few that do are top end when it comes to the price per night.

Most villas I have viewed have some very old furniture the interior is very poor a lot do not even have swimming pools if they do the pool furniture is not very appealing.

We make sure that every part of our villa from the exterior to the interior is quality.

Our villa is located next to two big hotels the RIU hotel also the Jewel hotel.

Therefore it is a tourist zone with a lot of activities and most of all security is 24 hours per day including the beach areas

What makes this property unique

Going to Jamaica to enjoy this lovely property.

There is no villa designed like this villa it is unusual in its architecture where windows surround the property this provides plenty of light in every room making it bright and airy.

Our exceptional dining area overlooking the swimming pool

The architecture allows very spacious rooms which are tastefully dressed.

Close proximity to fabulous Mammee Bay Beach.

This villa is less expensive with more quality in a better location than most villas not only in Jamaica but anywhere in the world as it has everything a holiday villa could need.

Villa Patiently Waiting, high on the list of vacation homes

We are pleased we have met the high standards expected of us, do not hesitate to book your vacation with us, you will not be disappointed as it will meet all your expectations and more.

Villa Patiently Waiting is Patiently Waiting for you.

We are located in the exclusive Mamme Bay Executive Estate next to the RIU Hotel which is next to the Jewel Hotel in St Ann's so we are very easy to find
