About this property
Gems at Home: Hills and Valley Views - 12 min by car to nearest beach
Entire upper 2nd floor spacious apartment is all yours. Private secured safe parking on property behind an electronic gate. (You will be provided with your own gate clipper)
The home has no beach view. The beaches are hidden just behind the surrounding luscious green hills and mountain views. You will enjoy the hills and the valley below while sitting and sipping tea or coffee on your choice of 2 private and relaxing patios where the air is always fresh, the grass is green on every side and harmless wild life pops up occasionally. Iguana,
mongoose, birds, butterflies, lizards and a cat taking a garden stroll. Have your phone cam ready because you never know when the wildlife play will begin :)

About the host
Hosted by Greta
Always a Caribbean girl. Having had a career in the airline industry, I have traveled the world and have stayed in many hotels and BNBs, BNBs being my preferred place to stay.
With vast experiences in stays and the hospitality extended, now in my golden days, I bring the same or even more to you as my way of saying thank you for memories of a lifetime.
I hope the cleanliness, the extra touches we added to the home just for you, and our relax and friendly disposition will make your stay at GEMs your amazing home away from home.

Why they chose this property
Beautiful residential neighborhood.
Friendly neighbors.
The home offers full privacy while giving you a beautiful view of the valley below and green hills. And also a view of the neighbors activity just across the street :)
Some days you will be captivated by the picture perfect cloud covered hill tops after the rains.
Guests favorite is sitting on the private balconies and taking in the beauty of nature that surrounds the home. Enjoy looking out at the neighbors across the street busy lifestyles from your front patio :)
Private and secured yard. You also have a choice of sitting outdoors under one of the many fruit trees that adorns the property.
