Spacious 5 Bdrm Home

Classic extraordinary old-world luxury meets contemporary elegance. This serene sanctuary will become your home away from home on your idyllic vacation. This abode offers you opulent living space in sophisticated luxury.

The Big White Villa is the perfect base camp for all your holiday adventures! If you require more rooms, we have 2 Double-bedroom self-contained studio apartments for guests that want to have their private accommodation.

Boasting 9000 square feet of high ceilings and porcelain tiled floors, this accommodation comfortably sleeps 10 guests, managed by suitably qualified friendly staff.

A prime location steps away from the beach. This is ideal for large groups or family getaways.

THE PROPERTY
This beautiful modern home is secured by automatic gates and is accessible by two drive ways and a walking route to the main entry.

Walk through the front doors to find the spacious living area filled with natural light, plush leather sofas, a 60-inch 4K flat-screen Smart TV and a most exquisite designed bar, ready to be stocked with all your favourite alcoholic beverages.

The updated and fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, making it easy to entertain guests.

Prepare your favourite home-cooked meal using the modern gas/electric cooker indoors then eat at the 4-person dining table on the veranda or why not go alfresco dining poolside.

Each bedroom in the home features a comfortable queen-sized bed and en-suite bathroom. The master suite is complete with luxurious bedding for your ultimate comfort. Wake up feeling rested each morning as sunlight illuminates the entire room.

The master bedroom en-suite bathroom hosts a hot-tub, double sink vanity unit and shower.

The other full bathrooms feature a shower and generous counter space for getting ready each day.

The ground floor bedroom is suitably adapted with special equipment for assisting individuals who are elderly or mobility impaired.

THE LOCATION
This amazing vacation home is located 5 miles from the centre of Ocho Rios, in a gated community, giving extra security and peace of mind to our guests.

The villa is situated on a historical heritage site, Rio Nuevo Battle site which includes a museum and park. Ask any of the neighbours and they will only be too happy to tell the stories associated with this site.

The area is peaceful and quiet enough for you to enjoy a relaxed environment, but near enough for you to travel to the hustle and bustle of Ocho Rios town centre if you so desire.

Follow the pathway next to the home and you will stumble onto Rio Nuevo beach that joins the river. This beach is quite stony and rugged and more suitable for the adventurous type. Walk along the coastline, you will see all the beautiful silver sandy beaches that coast is famous for. There are several other nature parks and beaches just minutes away, such as Bamboo Beach or James Bond Beach.

Take a 10-minute drive north to the town of Ocho Rios and all it has to offer with its trendy boutiques, antique shops and delicious restaurants. Be sure to stop by Fisherman’s Point to buy some fresh lobsters straight from the boat.

Great time at The Big White Villa (TBWV).
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.

Our stay at the big white villa
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....

Wonderful staff! Enormous amounts of room!
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.

Beautiful home at a great location would become perfect with some maintenance and cleaning
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!!

Great location, beautiful view, friendly staff ... a little dated, and some maintenance issues
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.

Perfect place to stay
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.
