Local attractions:

Historic Falmouth
Falmouth is the chief town and capital of the parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. It is situated on Jamaica's north coast 18 miles east of Montego Bay. It is noted for being one of the Caribbean's best-preserved Georgian towns.

The village of Sherwood Content, the birthplace of Usain Bolt, the world's greatest sprinter of all time, lies about 10 miles north of Falmouth.

Water Tours
Glistening Waters Restaurant and Marina on the Luminous Lagoon (Fisherman's Inn) offers lagoon tours beginning at sunset. The lagoon is one of only five bio-luminescent bays in the world.

River rafting
The Martha Brae River is approximately three miles inland from Falmouth. The raft trips leave from Rafter's Village, a recreational area with well-kept grounds, picnic facilities, a bar, souvenir shop and a swimming pool. Experienced captains guide 30-foot bamboo rafts along three miles of the river. Passengers are welcome to take a swim in the river. The raft trips lasts approximately 90 minutes

Eco Tour
The Falmouth Swamp Safari is a wetland nature preserve offering a 45-minute eco-tour. More than 80 crocodiles reside here, as well as birds, snakes and iguanas, all indigenous to Jamaica. The site was the location of filming of the James Bond thriller, 'Live and Let Die.'

Beaches
The beaches near Falmouth are known as some of the best in Jamaica. Burwood Beach, off the north coast highway, is a free public beach with white sands and clear tranquil waters. Vendors sell local crafts at the beach.

Not Nice
Firstly, I must state the house keeper Margaret was very helpful and friendly. This property is in much need of a refresh. Almost everything could do with being replaced including new pots, pans, cutlery, and the kitchen itself. The settee has seen better days. In fact, there's a single settee chair in property that is dangerous due to the fact that it has a deeply sunken base. Bedding and towels don't look good and have seen better days along time ago. The air conditioning at the property is far from adequate. I've personally seen much better properties for around the same price or a little bit more. You also have to deal with roaches with a spray that's provided. This wasn't what we expected and would not be recommending due to the low standard and quality of what's provided. We didn't get too involved with this place as it looked too dingy to feel comfortable

Just what we needed.
This was my second time staying at the property. Everything was just as great like before. Property is clean, safe and secure and conveniently close to everywhere we need to be from Montego Bay to St. Ann’s Bay.

Very Nice Property
Property was clean and spacious, just exactly what I needed to make the family comfortable. Stunning backyard, great for kids playing or for just relaxing and taking pictures. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and the house is equiped with the amedities that make life comfortable. The owners also are friendly and honest, wonderful people to deal with.

Andrew R., United States

Disliked: Cleanliness
head broken, floors needed to be swept, microwave dirty (inside), bathroom fossett dirty. Front gril
Wasn’t good. We actually found that out after we locked it to go out. We got back to the residence, tried several times to open the lock tirelessly. I had to call the owners dad, which I’ve been calling from we have gotten their. Fortunately for us he answered this time around. . The owners dad doesn’t seem to know the condition of the place when I told him. I also had wi-fi issues. Nothing was explained to us by the lady who gave us the keys when we got their. The AC wasn’t working well, including several other issues. Such a terrible experience, if it wasn’t for the next door neighbor Lindsay we wouldn’t had gotten in that night, or had a plumber coming by to repair the shower head. We would never recommend this place to anyone. We won’t be going back their for sure.

Great Stay, Location, an Value in Trelawny, Jamaica 30 Mins from MBJ Airport
We truly enjoyed our stay. The property is VERY SECURE (gated community) and has all the amenities you need for an extended stay. The roomy house offered 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bath (also a pullout bed in the closet), full kitchen, living and dining area. There is a washer and clothespins for the outside clothing line. Cold water wash only, but that's not an issue for me at all. Hanging the clothes on the line reminded me of my childhood. There is only 1 AC unit which is in the front side bedroom. :( (And, no it is not capable of cooling the entire house via this 1 AC device, so don't try as you may ruin the AC). So, if you have guests who cannot tolerate the Jamaican heat, put them in this room, or they will need to use the ceiling fan and sweat it out. There are ceiling fans in every room of the house. The home has hot water, but there is really no need to run the hot water in Jamaica when the cold water runs out at the perfect temperature for bathing in the heat. There is WIFI and Cable including Starz. There is one TV in the living room. The location is not too far from the main roads and minutes from the MBJ airport (30mins) and Falmouth which has many conveniences and local markets. In the town of Falmouth, there is a major grocery as well as KFC and Pizza Hut. Though we rented a car, taxis run past the housing community and there is a taxi stand for the wait. I would definitely rent this home again when we return to Trelawny.

Home Away from Home.
The property is well kept and the managerial staff very efficient and professional. With this experience that we had, I would recommend this property to all travelers. Should we visit Jamaica in the near future, this would be my choice of a place to stay. I have made a few recommendations to the management staff which if implemented will make this place heavenly.

Never Again
My stay in Jamaica was a very short one, just 4 days. During my stay, the TV did not work, there was no hot water and the property manager mentioned that he would fix the light bulbs but never showed up. There is also a minor pest issue which creates discomfort and inability to sleep comfortably. Never again and do not recommend to anyone

Lovely house in quiet neighborhood
We loved the house. It had everything we needed. Yard is gorgeous and mangoes were ready for us :). Great house convenient to mobay and ochi. A car is a necessity though as the scheme is out of town.

Three Weeks in Paradise
An absolutely amazing owner. Very prompt to address any of our concerns, though they were few. The neighbors are absolutely lovely people, explained all the car honking to us so we quit thinking we were doing something wrong. The boys across the street entertained the 7 year old that was staying with us. Security staff very nice. The only downside for us was no pool, which we knew before we went. But not much to do after returning from our day outings. The bungalow was very comfortable. We fell in love with Jamaica and plan to return.

Breathtaking and secure
I really enjoyed my stay here, the place is beautiful, it's in a really upscale peaceful community and the security team at the gates made me feel extremely safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay--would return
My husband and I stayed at the home for a week. From the time we booked, to the time we checked out, communication was great and easy. We did have a slight issue upon check-in, but the property owner was great about handling our concern. We had a car, which we were grateful for, so we were able to explore the island and easily access grocery stores. The A/C unit, in the bedroom, was a great relief! Although there are nice ceiling fans and a floor fan, the house became extremely hot. The garden is very beautiful! Overall, the property owners are quite lovely people and we enjoyed our time. We would stay here again. Thank you for opening your home to us!
