Wonderful

Stayed at Alvin's patiently waiting before, as usual it was excellent. Only Con. It would be much better if the kitchen area was sectioned of from the rest of the room. Apart from that I loved it. It's clean and spacious. Quite a few fruit trees and, It's within a short distance of ochi town centre and attractions. Chris is a joy to communicate with. He's a great guy, full of humour. I would recommend This property to others.

What a delightful stay
It was great to meet Alvin, Chris, Junior, and the whole crew. What a wonderful location and perfect pool. I loved walking to the beach every day and eating seafood in the open air. To top it off, Shabba was available to take us to other beaches and stores. I can’t wait to go back.

Good Studio flat.
Does what it says on the tin. Decent sized and you get what you pay for..
It was only a short stay this time 3 nights. Property was clean. Chris the caretaker is very friendly and always about to assist. If I have one fault is there’s not enough cooking pots, cutlery etc, sharp knives. But that’s all a minor. Access to the property is good. I’d suggest hiring a car if you’re staying here as you will need if you want independence. Standard Taxis at the top road are available to take you in to town for 200JD. Remember to bring cleaning bits as the property is not stocked with them and cleaning is your own responsibility. Clean towels are available if you request as are clean sheets.

The pool wasn't good; the room with formiga; the access at beach closed!
My wife and I wanted to be somewhere lowkey and somewhat ‘off the grid for a few days’. We found this property and decided to book. Communication with Alvin was good and Chris the property manager was very helpful and made the check in process very smooth. The place was just as described and we definitely enjoyed hot peaceful and quiet the area was.
The only issue we had was that we wanted to stay 4 days but there was only availability on VRBO for 2 days. However, overall we enjoyed the stay and would definitely book another stay.
The property was in an excellent location to the beach (7minute walk). Easy for shared transportation to pick up and drop off guest. Walking distance to Scotchie's and the grocery store (15 minute). Shower head and door needs to be replaced ASAP in the larger cottage. Chris is a VERY available and helpful man that made my stay better. Cottage had culinary and cooking supplies. Price was reasonable especially if traveling on a budget. Property and area very safe and lighting. I would return!!

Not what I expected
Room was small was not comfortable not what I expected not worth the price
This was a great find for my one night in Ocho Rios. Chris (the caretaker) was very friendly and helpful. The photos and description are a good representation of the property and I was very comfortable staying there.
Property was clean, staff was excellent, and it was close to a number of amenities. Great location close to a lot of attractions and shopping in nearby Ocho Rios. We were lucky enough to have the owner there at the same time which was a pleasure to meet him. New friends every time we go to the island. Looking forward to our next trip already!!
I have been here many times over the last 8 or so years - I come every year sometimes more than once a year. Everything about this property, the owner, the property manager is totally close to perfection - have already planned my visit next year.

We always have a great time in Jamaica and this trip was no different.
We were unsure what to expect from “Patiently Waiting” but we’re pleasantly surprised. The location is about 6-7 mikes Ocho Rios so be prepared to take a taxi into town if you don’t rent a car. We were picked up at the airport by a driver arranged by Chis Lundford by driver “English “. English was not just a driver. He was a historian, , tour guide and generally a wealth of knowledge.
Chris was available to answer questions promptly.
The property is pretty basic but a great location with the beach only a few min walk. There is a nice beach restaurant that serves lunch and dinner -NOT breakfast so make sure you have supplies for breakfast or go into Ocho Rios. It’s a good idea to pick up some items from the supermarket before arriving or shortly after. Pick up bath soap if you didn’t bring any , toilet paper, paper towels and snacks. If you want coffee in the morning get some instant coffee, cream and sweetener. We stayed in the smallest unit called the cottage. It was cozy and clean. There are other units you may want to check out if you want a bigger space. The area was super safe even walking back from the beach at night. It’s gated and Chris is always a text away to answer questions.
The beach was beautiful!! You will get two beach chairs for staying at Mammee bay estate so ask and show your MBE card to get into the private beach and get the chairs. All in all we had a great time and you can too!

Excellent! Will definitely be back.
Beautiful environment and accommodations. Extremely friendly people. The property manager, Chris Lundford was wonderful! He made sure we were taken care of and checked frequently if we needed anything. We were pretty limited on places to go since we did not have a rental car. If you are ok with left lane driving, I would suggest a rental. But Chris got a taxi whenever we wanted to go somewhere.
A we plan to visit again. The price is excellent.

The property was very well maintained,and the care taker Chris, lives there, and he is great
Property was great,the pool was great, accomodations, Chris the caretaker there was johny on the spot.. I had a issue with a leaking ceiling, the crew was in there like a navy seal surgical team, and took care of it right away, and moved me to another building. I would go back there again, in a heartbeat.
