We had a great time at the Baywatch Villa

Everything was as pictured and advertised. Janice, the cook, did a great job, Cassie the housekeeper kept the inside of the property clean, and Marvin the gardener did a great job with the garden. There was a security guard that walked the property all night, the villa was very secure. We we all felt safe and secure. We enjoyed three very good meals each day, and the staff met all of our dietary needs. Both the pool and sea were just steps from the villa. The villa and pool offer great privacy, and there is not much beach traffic. I would definitely bring water shoes for the sea. Our host Gary was outstanding to deal with. From beginning to end, he was on top of things and called me before I departed to make sure we enjoyed our visit.

Fantastic!

Our second stay at this wonderful property, perfect for our family of 8. The staff is incredible - from Janet's amazing meals to Cassie's excellent housekeeping and Marlon's daily grounds keeping, we always felt well cared for! They are also so warm and welcoming, it felt like home away from home. There were beautiful, updated tile bathrooms in the cottage this year and other smaller upgrades. There was no beach in front of the house when we were there this year but there are steps into the water and there was a sandy area near the lawn for our granddaughter to play in so no one really minded. We only missed walking the length of the beach. Otherwise the location is perfect with unbelievable sunsets every evening. Gary is a superb host and this is a real gem of a place!

Two families with young children

We are two families: 4 adults, six children aged 2,2,5,5,7,8. We had a wonderful time. Gary was extremely helpful answering questions and making arrangements for our transportation to and from the property. Gary also encouraged us to bring our paddle boards. The listing doesn’t describe the beautiful coral reef in the bay. Everyday, the adults and children went out with paddle boards and goggles - a snorkeling adventure right in your backyard. I’d say that snorkelling was the highlight of our trip, if it weren’t for the exceptional staff and the wonderful cooking. Janet’s meals were to die for - all of her Jamaican cooking for fantastic. She also went out of her way to accommodate the kids: chicken fingers for some, raw veggies for others. Cassie was marvellous in her role and everyone adored her. Marlon, the groundskeeper was a pleasure - we’re sorry that we didn’t invite him to join in the soccer games earlier in the vacation. Useful tips: Our grocery bill was about 15% of the booking and the gratuity paid to the staff was also about 15%. We are considering returning and we highly recommend this property for young families.

About the host

Hosted by Gary

I am a beach lover who is fortunate to manage Siesta, Bahia and Baywatch, adjoining properties in Runaway Bay Jamaica. We are happy to share the villas and staff with guests who rave about their stay. Our staff are very important to us as they are to our guests; some staff have been with us for as long as 20 years. It has been a wonderful experience having guests show their appreciation of the property by returning multiple times; in one case 19 times in 20 years. We are excited to meet lovely people from around the world.
