Tranquility
The listing, including the pics, are accurate. My party of 5 adults enjoyed the quiet beautiful beach and clear water that was only a few steps away. Accommodations inside and outside were very comfortable. Cassie was a wonderful cook/housekeeper who did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. A perfect place for those who want security, beauty, peacefulness, and comfort. Veronica was prompt with communication and made very helpful instructions to neighborhood resturant owners.

The villa was in great condition, we like the fact that it was steps from the beach, and a fishermen area like 5 minutes walking where we got fresh fish and lobster.

It's my third time at Yellow Canary so I can say we love this place and we will come again and again. Veronica the owner and Cassy the helper are really wonderfull people. I can say Cassy is a really good chef cuz I don't like seafood but her curry lobster was delicious ;) The villa is really cosy and nice and the garden is beautifull! The area is quiet and all people are really friendly. One of the best beach of Jamaica is one min walk from the villa. Bars and good restaurants 3 min walk. Veronica, thanks for sharing this villa with people and see you soon :)

This is REAL Jamaica-as long as you know that going in, you will absolutely love it here!
The good: the property owner is very helpful & arranged on-time airport pickup + a stop at the market on the way to the villa. She even gave us phone nos. for the driver & housekeeper/chef so we could reach out directly. When the air wasn’t working in one bedroom, she tried to get it fixed ASAP. The drivers are timely, courteous & able to take us anywhere we wanted to go-any day or time. The beach is literally only 100 yards away-and it’s spectacular. The bad: you’re in the tropics-there WILL be biting insects galore. DEET is your friend. Bring LOTS of sunscreen & bug spray!!! The so-so: wear water shoes! Urchin colonies abound in the shallow rocks! There isn’t much to do at the Villa besides the beach, so you need a driver to do anything else (even dining out). Expect to spend $80-100 US just for driver service each day you use it plus any excursion costs. Groceries are pricey-ie: a case of water is about $9 & produce isn’t as large & fresh as we see in the States. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms. Clothes must line dry-plan accordingly. We never saw the advertised hot tub, but didn’t miss it. The best: Ms. Cassie. She’s part housekeeper, part world-class chef, part concierge & 100% instant family friend. She made the stay amazing! Hands-down the best meals we ate were made by Ms. Cassie. We miss her already! If you want a “resort” vacay, it’s not for you. But def book this Villa if you want to experience real beauty of Jamaica!

About the host

Hosted by Veronica Fullerton

Host profile image
I live in London, England from a young age. I have been spending lots of precious time in Jamaica where I was born.
I first visited Duncans Bay in 1999 with my 2 children and we were walking along a lane which has some quaint cottages and directly in front I could see the ocean appearing through branches of almond trees which lined the banks in front of the beach. It was such a beautiful sight.
The cottage is surrounded by a beautiful garden with tropical plants. A mango tree with long limbs spreads across the garden which is ideal shade to relax with a book.
The living room opens out onto a patio area which makes it light and airy. All the bedrooms have louver windows bringing in fresh sea breeze into the rooms.
There is a green area that stretches along the beach with many trees for shades. This area is great for children to play. My children love this area along the beach to play on when they were young and they now bring their children to play there.
On a Saturday night live music is performed by local artists at the Beach bar.
This area is ideal connection to many attractions and Montego Bay Airport is just 45 minutes drive.

Why they chose this property

I love the idea of strolling to the beach early mornings with a cup of coffee and take in the views and if energetic go for a swim.
The neighbourhood is a seaside village, flushed with greenery, unspoilt, and most days it can be quiet except for weekends when it can get busy with visiting guests and local families. The beach is good for sun bathers, swimmers, snorkelling, fishing. Swimming though is restricted to particular areas. The beach stretches a long way so it’s great for those who like walking. The adjoining beach is the fishermen’s beach and there are two restaurants/bar some craft kiosks along that beach. Leroy’s Bar is famous for it live music on a Saturday nights.
GETTING AROUND
from the villa a short walk to the Taxi Stop. All taxis from this stop will take you to Duncans Town in less than 3 minutes. Here you can get local taxis which will connect you to most places. Please be careful not to travel alone at nights. If you are a group of 3 or more it is best and much cheaper to charter a taxi to take you where you want to go.
MontegoBay and Ocho Rios are approximately 40 minutes by transport.

What makes this property unique

- only on special request and for those arriving on a Sunday)
