Home away from home with spectacular sea view and private pool.

The villa is very spacious and had everything you need to be comfortable, especially the air conditioning in every bedroom. The views from the villa balconies were excellent, pool was a good size too. Staff were nice and helpful and overall communication was very good, providing all the necessary information.

Excellent place

My family of 10 adults had an amazing time at TBWV in May. Overall, we had great time and enjoyed our stay, though there were some minor cons. The spacious villa was more than enough room for all 10 us to relax comfortably and the pool was a one of the main highlights of our stay on a daily basis. Not enough pool/beach towels for 10 people though – please add more larger groups. The view of the ocean and countryside is beautiful and soothing with tea and coffee on the overlooking balcony. However, access to beach was close by but challenging (not accessible for our elderly seniors that were with us) with the steep steps and a rocky beach side (inundated smooth stones). Be sure to wear footwear. The bedrooms were large with individual A/C units and their own en-suite bathrooms, except for the 2 bedrooms on the ground floor that shared a bathroom – no big deal. The two large living room/ meeting areas upstairs and downstairs provided enough room for us spread out and chat but without A/C so was a bit warm with even with doors and windows opened and overheads fans. Chef Kevin, whose dishes were delicious, and Housekeeper Tanisha, were both amazing and good company. This is a great property with plenty of room and beautiful views but just needs a bit of upgrading and TLC on the furniture, the dishwasher, and fans.

THEIR ARE SMALL BUGS THAT LIVE IN HOUSE AND BE ON EVERYTHING I GOT ATE UP FROM TIME I CAME. THE BUGS BE ON COUNTER TOPS AND FURNITURE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM WITH NAKED EYE THEY ARE SO SMALL.YOU CANT SIT YOUR PLATE DOWN THEY WILL ATTACK IT❗️❗️ NEEDS EXTERMINATOR THATS WHY ILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN...TOO MANY BUGS

Home very spacious with an amazing beach steps away from home.

Overall the big white villa was a nice stay I just think everything such as the furniture is outdated.... we had to pay $45.00 because a leg just fell completely off of the chair... no wrong moves my friend just sat down and the leg came off... the housekeeper, cook and Erroyl the chauffeur were great people that helped us well....

Loved our stay! Great secure place! Kevin the chef was top notch!

The Big White Villa was the perfect size for our group of 12 and offered plenty of space for everyone. The house manager, Aretha, along with the grounds keeper, Sam, met us upon arrival and were very friendly and welcoming. All of the rooms offer an A.C. Unit however the unit in the master bedroom did not work. Luckily, there was a nice breeze the majority of the nights so between that and a couple fans we were able to sleep comfortably. The hot water heater was also an issue. Everyone got about 5min of hot water for a shower before it turned cold no matter how much we tried to stagger shower times. Again, we made it work but when paying so much for a vacation, I didn’t expect to be taking cold showers. I can’t say enough about Kevin, the chef, he was amazing! We asked him to make traditional Jamaican meals and he did not disappoint. Errol and Errol chauffeured us around and were very resourceful when when planning activities and answering any questions we had about the island. It was truely a pleasure getting to know them. Taneisha , the housekeeper, was so sweet and attentive during our stay. The beach is just a short walk away however it is very Rocky as the pictures show. There is an amazing little restaurant called “Sugarpot Ruins” about a 10 min walk down the beach that offers an absolutely beautiful beach though. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Big White Villa. Kevin was a wonderful chef. Sam & Leticia were so warm and helpful. The rooms were large and gave us all enough room to relax. I would recommend this rental to anyone.

We had a great vacation in Jamaica. It’s a lovely place. The people are friendly and helpful. The drive down from Montego Bay to the Big White Villa was smooth. Our ride was through Travel Jamaica Tours and Errol Bowen who drove us down entertained us and kept us laughing all the way. He is awesome. He and Errol Williams did all our chauffeuring during our stay. They were a pleasure to work with. The staff at the Big White Villa were friendly and resourceful. The property manager worked with us to prestock food and supplies before our arrival. She was present along with the staff when we arrived. We love Kevin, our Chef! He whipped up delicious meals and accommodated our preferences and diet restrictions cheerfully. He went out of his way to help with other needs in the house as well. A shout out to Sam as well. He was a quiet gentle presence who unfailingly stepped up as needed. The house itself is a spacious and airy place that easily accommodated our group of 14. The location is beautiful. The landscaping is lush and tropical. We enjoyed the pool. The sights and sounds of the ocean are close by. The neighborhood is quiet and secure. All our excursions and shopping or dining trips were a short drive away. A little more attention to maintenance and housekeeping would make the Big White Villa near perfect. But for them the small annoyances would have been absent. As such it falls short of the ‘luxury’ tag. Nevertheless all in all we enjoyed our Jamaica experience. The food. The sights. And most of all the friendly folk!!

We had some difficulty finding the Villa, the address provided did not appear on Google map, the property is marketed as Ocho Rios (which is largely in St. Ann) but it is actually located just outside of Ocho Rios in St. Mary. My other guests had similar experiences with finding the Villa. The actual accommodations were adequate, we had 5 bedrooms in the main house and 2 bedrooms accessible from outside by the pool area. They were good size rooms with enough amenities to be comfortable. We met the maintenance person, the house keeper, private chef and manager on the first day. Everyone was friendly and happy to assist in making our vacation enjoyable. The view from the upstairs balcony was amazing. The beach (while quite stony and challenging to access via a steep stair) was generally okay. The property is not air-conditioned in the common areas, each bedroom has an air-condition unit, however, we had to keep the doors open to maintain a reasonable temperature in the living room, kitchen, and upstairs lounge areas. Having the doors open also meant mosquitoes which were a bit annoying. There were a few maintenance issues (refrigerator beeped 24 hrs per day because the Freezer did not work, blinds in master bath were broken and could not close, door on shower was broken etc. etc.) but nothing that was a fatal flaw. The chef did an amazing job and cooked some really delicious local meals for us, however, I think the house cleaning had a bit to be desired and the dust did a number on my sinuses. The Villa is also located near a public park area and there was loud music which played every night during our four night stay. Honestly, we had a good time in Jamaica, we visited Dunn's river falls, the town in Ocho Rios, enjoyed local fruits, and other amenities. The Villa met our needs for somewhere to sleep (as we were out for most of the days) however, I wouldn't describe it as luxurious. We had a group of 12, there was ample space for everyone and no one really complained. It is a great villa in a great location, it just needs a few tweaks in the maintenance area and I would give it at least 4 stars.

We loved the big white villa. We were 12 people. 6 couples. The villa was very spacious and comfortable. Great for a big group. The staff was amazing. Kevin the chef cooked the most incredible meals. The location was great for experiencing the north side of the island. Rocky but very quiet and somewhat private beach a short walk down some steps. If you have more than 6 couples it might get too crowded as two of the seven bedrooms share a bathroom. The upper balcony with sea views is an amazing spot to have breakfast and all hang out.
