A comfortable house on a private beach

Nestled under a canopy of coconut palms, tropical fruit trees and flowers on the beach in Great Bay is the modest and comfortable house known as Rockside Villa -about 2.5 hours minutes from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. It is an ideal vacation home for adventurous and budget minded travelers and small groups looking for a clean, friendly, and safe environment to relax, be lulled to sleep by the waves, count the endless shooting stars, and experience the vibes of a Jamaican country village. Great Bay is quiet, natural, laidback, and uncrowded; Jamaica as it was 40 years ago. It is also a great swimming beach.

About the house

Rockside Villa comes with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as a fully equipped kitchen, balcony, and living room.And with WiFi, you’ll have no problems keeping up with things back home. The property is owned and managed by Christine, a gracious host and local Great Bay resident who lives next door and is readily available to serve your needs, answer questions or offer suggestions.

Dining at Rockside Villa

Many guests prepare their own meals. Food supplies and other needs are available from a supermarket that is just a few minutes walking distance away. Plus, freshly caught fish from local fishermen on the beach. But what if you don’t feel like cooking on your holiday? No Problem Mon! Local Jamaican fare is available from several nearby local establishments. Also, Christine will be happy to arrange for someone to prepare all your meals for a very modest daily fee plus the cost of groceries.

A ganja friendly property

You are free to puff away on the balcony, on the beach and everywhere on the property but NOT in the rooms. And, like just about everywhere else in Jamaica, weed is easily available in the area. Want to buy some ganja or visit with a ganja farmer? Just ask Christine. She will be happy to point you in the right direction.
