  Had a great time visiting family. Villa was clean, well run, relaxing. It was very difficult for us to find a place for my 95 yr old mother in law to visit with no stairs and safe for her. This villa was perfect. The private beach area was close by, quiet and comfortable. This meant so much to my husband and his mom was so happy. We had a clean kitchen, and comfortable rooms. Villa just as described and wifi service was EXCELLENT.

  I stayed here for 5 days in December for our family reunion.
  
  Large rooms, great common area and a pool. My kids 4 and 6 loved playing in the pool. They were in there for hours every day – while I lounged – one eye on them of course.
  I was coming from one of the all-inclusive resorts so I was happy to have access to a washing machine. Oh yea the small but necessary comforts of home.
  We hired Ms. Dorothy to cook for all 11 of us, One trip to the market and grocery store and we were set . – Three home cooked meals a day.
  
  The Villa is a 20 minute walk to Flavors Beach. But only walk if you want to stay in shape – It’s all down hill from the villa – but you know what that means for the return trip. Instead hire a driver and you can be there in less than 5 minutes.
  
  Great jumping off point
  We did day trips to Dunn’s River Falls – less than 15 minutes .
  And Chukka Tours picked us up and dropped off at the front gate.
  I didn't get a chance to check out the golf course that the Villa backs on to -- maybe next time sans kids.

  Hi Osburn, I want to say a big thank you for one of the greatest weekends my group and I experienced. The Villa was as you displayed on the website and exceeded our expectations. All the rooms had an A/C, Tv, large closet, and bathroom. The kitchen was fully functioning without hiccups and the living and dining room was very spacious, comfortable and the pool was amazing. We used sat by the pool in the evenings/night to have dinner. Deloris and Chris were very professional and helpful. Brownie (dog) was very friendly to the point we could not have dinner without her. We would surely recommend your place as a very good avenue to relax and enjoy the companionship amongst friends and family. If one truly wants to escape, then this is the place. Another Big Thank You Osburn.

  So this place was supposed to be the haven that I would recoop from. How about it turned into the place I ran away from? It was moldy, smelly. The pics on line were all doctored, stretched to give the impression on grandeur. WRONG!! there was no cook, no private beach, the bedrooms had AC but the common area- NONE. It was hot as satan's balls. What there was were dogs, centipedes, musk and a gardner with limited vocab "I dont know". We were not able to stay at the '"Vile A" not one night. What would be good if the owner would stop lying and advertise what he has and not exaggerate what little there islike the little 10X10 pool that he has looking like a 20X40 on the website and the house looking like a mansion because he has stretched the pictures. The furniture on the site does not exist. What is in the home are patio furniture with throw pillows on them. The walk to the private beach is almost a mile away and across a major thoroughfare. The windows are barred but the door is not. What security is he stating in his ad? The prior reviews were writting by him and his croonies. LIES, ALL LIES!!!! Mr Osbourne be honest about what you have and stop lying. The Jamaica Tourist Board is my next stop. The Scam must stop!!!

  I have made the Whistling Villa my home away from home on both my stays in Runaway Bay, Jamaica 🇯🇲 there is no doubt that I will be staying here again on my future vacations. It is a SAFE gated property with staff that are available. They will be glad to answer any questions you may have or assist you to where you are interested in visiting on the beautiful island of Jamaica. The cook is available to shop as well as to prepare any meal you would like to try - Jamaican dishes. The villa is clean and in very good condition with beautiful bright colours and decor. There is also the comfort of air conditioning and free wifi to keep in touch with family and friends back home. The yard/grounds are very well kept and colourful with fruit trees and flowers - the grass is always freshly cut. One of my favourite things to do was to enjoy the outdoor deck whether it was enjoying a meal or drink then taking a swim in the pool. True meaning of vacation with no worry environment. Within 10 minutes from the villa you have the beach, groceries and ATM at your convenience. A place where you feel welcomed in a friendly quiet area.

  This villa is everything you expect and more . The staff is amazing and the grounds outstanding . Myself and a few others stayed here for a week and wish we never had to leave . It is well kept and very clean and gives you that home away frim home type feel . Everything you need for a comfortable vacation is at your fingertips tips . It is easy to find and nestled in a quiet serene area I would most definitely recommend this villa and urge anyone to choose this spot as a part of their jamaican experience .

  Thanks to your AMAZING staff, my family and I were treated like royalty.
  
  First, Ms. Dorothy was a pleasure. Her demeanor was one of patience, politeness and most of all, grace. She is THE BEST cook ever. She felt like apart of our family. I truly miss her. She had my children craving for her pancakes.
  
  Second, Chris was also a pleasure to deal with. He too was very gracious, pleasant and most of all patient. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and pleasant.
  
  Lennox was the best driver and tour guide ever. I felt at home, being away from Jamaica for over 20 years.
  
  Overall, I CERTAINLY will be back. I have already spread the word about your villa.
  The villa, it was heavenly. The space, all the rooms and the curb appeal was beyond perfect. Can you tell I enjoyed my week?! Lol
  
  Overall, this was an unforgettable trip, thanks to Ms. Dorothy, Chris and Lennox.
  Happy New Year to you and your family.
