We had such a blast at the Coral Cottage! Richie and Ben where both wonderful and very quick to respond to any question or request we had. Our group consisted of 4 adults and 7 children aged between 9 and 13. Only one of the children was a boy, but he loves fishing and Richie was kind enough to go hunt bait for him each morning so that he had plenty to fish with. We caught several fish and that part was so much fun. The girls all loved jumping from the small cliff into the ocean, they would still be jumping if they could. We had them cook a seafood curry for us the first day we arrived and it was one of the most delicious home cooked meals I've ever had! The property is absolutely gorgeous and has many different fruit trees which always made for a delicious snack. Richie drove us when we had to get groceries, took us on a hike to a mineral spring, a cave, and to their elementary school... He just did everything he could to make our trip memorable and wonderful. There are so many more things I could say, but mainly I can't thank the entire Coral Cottage team enough for their attention to detail and helping make this trip so wonderful!

While we enjoyed our time in Little Bay (the people are so nice!) there are some things you need to consider when renting this house. There are 6 bedrooms and it could likely sleep 14. We had a group of 10 and rented a 15 passenger van in Montego Bay after spending 3 nights in Ocho Rios for my wedding. The road to the house is rough. Be prepared to go slow. There is parking at the house. Richie lives in the house as well and met us on our arrival and gave us a tour of the grounds. All bedrooms are air conditioned. There is a 10 deposit per key to your bedroom. There are beach towels at the property, but you must get them from Richie. Laundry is 15/ load. There is 50 gallons of hot water. Hot water is solar powered so the weather determines how hot your water will be for the day. You cannot drink the tap water and we were told before arrival “we recommend grabbing some water while at the supermarket. we do have drinking water available to guests, however, we’ve found that each group is different in their needs”There is NOT any drinking water available at the house. We brought 15L and quickly needed more water. Richie will sell you drinking water: 5Gallons for 12 or you can walk down to the store down the road where they sell bread and water (make sure you have cash- they take USD). Make sure to stop and get groceries on your way to the house! You have to walk to the pool from the house. WiFi does not reach out to the pool. Not a big deal, but something we wished

My family was thrilled with our stay at Coral Cottage! Our thanks to Richie, Jo, Rona, and the whole team for a truly special stay in which we felt like family. Highlights include the bonfire by the water, homemade cricket bats courtesy of Richie, and an excellent Christmas dinner. We hope to return in the future!

Our family of nine spent a week at Coral Cottage celebrating 50 years of marriage. The location is about 40 minutes south of Negril. The home is unique with beautiful surroundings, not really luxurious but charming in a good way. The two bedrooms upstairs are very nice with big baths. The two bedrooms downstairs smaller. The lookout on top is up a pretty tricky stairway, but has a great view. Our teenage grandchildren loved seeing all the animals, doves, rabbits, roosters, goats, cats and dogs. They learned more in one week than probably a year of school about Island life and Jamaican people. We enjoyed our first dinner of Jerk chicken and fixings that Ritchie and Mama prepared for us. The pool is a short walk and is on a beautiful cliff (that everyone enjoyed jumping from). We spent every other day there. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The second evening we purchased local Bonita (Tuna) to cook and it was delicious! We rented cars in Negril and went to the beach at Treehouse Resort on 7 mile beach a few times. Ritchie is the very helpful manager and took us to see the Blue Hole, Bat cave and Mineral Springs on Bob Marleys old house property very close to Coral Cottage. We were sad to say goodbye ,but all said we had a FUN time. Keep in mind that we have traveled all over Mexico and the Caribbean so one has to be able to adapt to different cultures. This is very secluded and the drive was not easy. A plus is no one got sick from any water or food(which is an always in Mexico or Dominican Republic)!! If complete seclusion and relaxation is your goal with friendly gracious Jamaicans then Coral Cottage will not disappoint. Thank you to everyone, it was an adventure to remember for all of us!!
