About this house rental

Situated in Montego Bay, this charming house for £708 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. The Wharf House is a beautiful and historic 18th century property located on the shores of the Montego Bay Lagoon, a large saltwater inlet of the Caribbean Sea which is part of the Montego Bay Marine Park. For several decades, The Wharf House has also been - and remains until today - one of the homes of our family. We are not - nor do we aim to be - a hotel. We are a small and intimate villa, offering four bedrooms furnished with family-owned antiques and lovely artwork from the Caribbean. Each of our rooms is unique, but all of them reflect - we hope - our passion for “beautiful things”…be they furniture, paintings, art & craft items, or merely the views you have from your bedroom windows. The Wharf House has its own small private pebble beach, a swimming pool shaded by massive cotton trees, a large seaside dock, and expansive tropical gardens dotted with a wide variety of fruit trees - mangoes, coconuts, ackees, breadfruit, avocados, lemons and pomegranates. Our staff will be happy to help you to sample some of these fruity delights. Our property is home to a wide variety of wild life. The lagoon teems with fish and other sea creatures, and our gardens are filled with birds & bees & butterflies & lizards. And, yes, these wonderful creatures sometimes make their way into our house...and we would not want it any other way. Please bear this in mind when considering a vacation at our home. We - and several generations before us - have greatly enjoyed living at The Wharf House, and we very much hope that you, too, will enjoy your stay…however long or short it may be. Location: The driving time from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport to the Wharf House is approximately 15 - 20 minutes. From our property, you can reach the Fairview Shopping Center (with its large supermarkets, pharmacies, and wide variety of trade shops) in about 10 minutes, by car. Rooms: The Wharf House has four bedrooms. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans and A/C. The rate for renting the entire property is currently US$900 per night. Two of our bedrooms - the Sea View Bedroom & the Garden View Bedroom - are located in the Main House. These two bedrooms are adjacent to the common living room & inside dining area. The "Sea View Bedroom" has an antique king-size four poster bed, a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, and is equipped with a ceiling fan and A/C. The "Garden View Bedroom" has antique twin beds, a walk-in closet, and is equipped with a ceiling fan and A/C. The Garden View bathroom is located in the Main House, across the living room. Our other two bedrooms are, in fact, stand-alone cottages. The “Sea Side Cottage” is located against the very shores of the Montego Bay Lagoon, offering lovely views of the Caribbean Sea from your four poster king-size bed. This cottage has its own small private terrace, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan & A/C. The “Pool Side Cottage”, located a little further back in the gardens, is very private, and has antique twin beds and its own separate access to the shared swimming pool. It, too, has a walk-in closet & en-suite bathroom with shower, ceiling fan & A/C. Our rates include all taxes and free high-speed WiFi. A staff gratuity of 15% of the total cost of your stay is customary & will be very much appreciated. Please note that during our main season - from December until April - we give preference to those bookings which are for a minimum stay of one week. Amenities: The Wharf House has a separate & large building, which can be used for meetings, Yoga, dance, and retreats of all kinds. A small kayak & several paddle boards are available for guests who wish to explore the Lagoon. Snorkeling equipment is available for those who wish to explore the nearby reef. Also on property: a ping-pong table & a wide variety of board games. Staff: The Wharf House is staffed at all times by our live-in caretaker, Leroy, our housekeeper, Lerlene, and our cook, Pinky. Additional services - Cook: The services of our excellent cook, Miss Pinky, are included in our rental rate, but you will have to purchase your own groceries for the preparation of your breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Please contact us for cost details and general information. Please note that we do not permit guests to cook their own meals. Additional services - Driver: If you require a driver, to get around…no problem. The Wharf House works with several reliable and reputable licensed tourist taxi drivers who will be happy to take you anywhere you wish to go. This service comes at an additional charge. Contact us for cost details & general information. Additional services - Massages, reflexologies, facials, Reiki, chiropracter, yoga classes etc. The Wharf House has its own spa room, located right on the sea. Enjoy the sound of the waves lapping against the shore, as you are pampered by one of our professional therapists. These services are available by prior appointment only & come at an additional charge. Contact us for cost details & general information. Furthermore: Four major golf courses, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, sunset catamaran cruises, zip-lining, river rafting and horseback riding are all within easy reach of our property; as are several restaurants and jerk centers, a cinema, the famous Doctor’s Cave Beach, and much more.

The Wharf House was the perfect place for our family to enjoy the beautiful island. Stefan and Nikki were incredible hosts. They responded quickly to any questions we had, communicated clearly about everything, went out of their way to make us comfortable, and Stefan gave us lots of great information about things to do, places to visit, and a driver we could use. The property is beautiful-right on the water and surrounded by gorgeous trees. We thoroughly enjoyed the private beach, the dock, the pool, and the hammocks. I can't think of a more picturesque place for family meals than outside on the deck overlooking the water. Meals deserve a review of their own, as the food prepared by Miss Pinkie was truly incredible. Each meal was a new feast for the senses. From the chicken stew, jerk chicken, fish, and shrimp dinners, to the coffee, eggs, bammy, and fresh fruit for breakfast, each meal was delicious, plentiful, and a taste of Jamaican home-cooking (all clearly prepared with love.) Lerlene and Alisha who helped to set and clear all of the meals were wonderful, and Leroy and the evening security person, did so much to help us feel comfortable and at home. We truly cannot imagine a more perfect way to visit Montego Bay. It would be hard for anyone to not love this beautiful place and the people there~

This place is historic and beautiful. My family had a wonderful time... some paddleboarded, others combed the stone beach area, but mainly we enjoyed our family time and the amazing meals prepared by Miss Pinkie. Would like to return but....

What a spectacular vacation the staff and owners were so great. We couldn't have dreamed up anything like we experienced at The Wharf House. The history and stories from staff and owner were fun and taught us things. The water was warm and we saw starfish, crabs, and all types of fish. Thank you for a vacation we will never forget.

How much space do we have here to say how amazing our trip was??? This week we stayed at Stefan and Nikki’s Wharf House Villa and everything exceeded our expectations. The staff catered to our every need…even the needs we didn’t know we had. Big thanks to Pinky, Lerlain, Leroy and Russell, who made our stay perfect. We experienced true Jamaican cuisine and culture, all while staying in a private picturesque setting. All options were made available, whether it was staying on the property and enjoying the ambience all day (which we did for several), or traveling to other hot spots on the island. Our adventure to Negril for the day was a perfect outing, all facilitated by the Wharf House and their transportation connections. (Special thanks to our driver, Junior) If you are looking for a true Jamaican experience, then look no further than The Wharf House. They are the true definition of Jamaican hospitality.

We had a fantastic time. Stefan was an excellent host. He was very communicative and helpful with details like meal planning and transportation prior to our arrival. Pinky, Leroy, and Lerline took amazing care of us and catered to all of our needs from kids to adults! We all miss Pinky’s cooking and the incredible breakfast views of the lagoon. Take me back! The listing is very accurate- it’s actually that charming!
