Great location
Went with our adult kids and a couple of grandkids. 7 in all.It's a little rustic which suited us perfectly. Spotless accomadations! Pauline makes sure of that. Awesome lady!!She cooked for us and it was excellent.Tony and Jullie at the bar were wonderful as well.Our favourite though would probably Wanda (Wander?).She's the household dog.We all fell in love with her!My favourite about her is she barks and chases the local police. Laughed my butt off!!! Was safe in the area. I wasn't out but my kids were out almost every night.Never a problem : ).

Wish we were still there!
Traveled with 9 of us, including 3 tweens! We spent 5 wonderful nights in this "home" FAR away from home. Loved the access to the beach, the upstairs suite for the tweens, the large kitchen, bathrooms in each room, and the outdoor space to play dominoes. The company of Tony and Pauline make it feel like "home". The property is in the middle of 7 mile beach and provides access to everything that is Negril: sunsets, rum punch, waves, vendors, music and the best dog too. Wanda is a love! Property is not 5 star perfection - if you are wanting that, but we loved it! We ALL wish we were still there! It is more than a VRBO - it is an experience of community, people, and culture that make up this beach vibe! Tony's Hut is so great! Thanks for everything! We can't wait to return!

Little Piece Of Heaven
Absolutely loved this place 💞 We did not want to leave! It is right on the beach and Oh the sun sets are breath taking! The host Alison was wonderful! She was easy to get ahold of & very quick to respond! We flew into Montego Bay airport & had previously arranged for Taxi driver Banton to pick us up. Alison recommended him & he is absolutely wonderful!Highly recommend him for any errands. I did have to down load the Whats App to communicate for free with the locals there, so it didn’t cost an arm and a leg on my cell phone bill. The house, I’m glad I read the reviews before going as someone said the house is not a five star hotel if that’s what you are looking for, Which I was not, it was exactly what I was looking for just basic & 🤔 down to earth lol! Nothing fancy. A few tweaks would make it perfect for us & that would be an a/c in the kitchen it was warm in there during the day & when cooking on the gas stove, it really got warm in there. The bedrooms down stairs have an a/c but the one with all the big windows didn’t cool as well as the other bedroom it would run you out of the room lol. We did tour the upstairs bedroom that didn’t have an A/C for future stays with More family 🤗 & it was pretty warm up there. A small outside grill would be nice for cooking on to help keep from heating up the kitchen. Pauline has such a kind & godly soul! I wanted to bring her home with us! Things didn’t think to get at the store before we got there were salt/pepper, oil,paper towel

Best parts are the location, people on site, and beach!
You can’t beat the location of this house - right in the middle of beautiful 7-mile beach! The house is part of a property that includes the quintessential little beach bar run by Tony the bar owner (bar is Tony’s Hut) who is also the caretaker of the house. It was so much fun being able to stroll out of the house, swing by the bar to grab a drink, and slide into the beautiful ocean. Bar isn’t super busy which is nice, just a few folks every hour or so. It’s very quiet by 10pm and you cannot hear bar guests from the house rooms. Julie is the other bartender when Tony is taking care of the propane she is kind and very knowledgeable about the area. The house isn’t perfect, as the owner says, but it has everything you need. Best part for our two families was a full bathroom with every bedroom. 3 of 4 rooms have AC that works very well even in the higher temp months. Other great part of house is Pauline who comes to tidy the house, replace linens, and keep it neat. She is a lovely human being who exudes kindness and we loved meeting her. Tony makes you feel well cared for and very safe. He has his trusty family dog Wanda that just hangs out around the bar and 2 dogs in the front near the street. Those 2 dogs add little extra safety measure at night feels extra secure. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and the house was as described, beach was better than I imagined, and people were really great.

If we could have stayed forever everyone in our group would still be there. The house is fantastic and the location phenomenal! We had the absolute best vacation of a lifetime. Pauline took such good care of us and is the sweetest of ladies, we actually had tears when saying goodbye! And Tony, well he was like having the coolest dad looking over us the entire time, such a great man and full of happiness and laughter. We have no complaints at all. Internet was a little spotty but we didn't really care because who has time for phones when in paradise! We had a very full itinerary of adventures so did not get to take advantage of Paulines cooking but she would have if we had had time! We were in a group of 8 aged 25 to 52 and had the most memorable vacation ever. Rudy the driver is full of surprises and will take you anywhere you wish to go, his son Damien also drove us and they are both truly wonderful people. Everyone there is beyond friendly. Take your bug spray, the mosquitos liked us alot lol and only pointer I would add to the description is that the town limits the water at night from about 11pm to 6am so get your showers in early! We will be back!

Perfect location right on the beach!
This is the perfect beach house if you're interested in exploring all of the activities on Seven Mile Beach. You can walk to everything. Hi Lo (the best grocery store around) is close by, walkable to Miss Sonia's for beef patties and Margaritaville. We ate breakfast most mornings at Charela Inn (try the chocolate croissants, they are insanely good). Things to know: there is ac in the downstairs bedrooms only (of which there are 3) so there's plenty of space but the upstairs bedroom does have a lovely balcony. The mattresses are very firm (which some people love). The wifi is excellent. Tony is the kindest and gentlest man. He was so wonderful after someone got stung by a jellyfish and went to great lengths to help us be comfortable. Pauline is an angel... so kind and loving. I wish we had more time with her but we arrived late on Saturday night, she's off on Sunday so we spent only one day with her (Monday) and loved every second that she was around. Rudy (a driver) was recommended by the host, Alison, and he was FABULOUS. He made my kids smile and really helped them to feel the island vibes. Alison, the host, was immediately in contact anytime we had a question and was wonderful about helping us plan our trip. 10/10 great vibes, great people and a great location!

Two week stay with extended family
What a great experience! We traveled with my older parents (82 and 79). Tony, Julie, Pauline, and Rudy were incredible helping to make sure they were safe and felt comfortable. The house was pretty much what we pictured. The upstairs room uses just the spiral stairs, so too difficult for my parents to use, but it was one of the favorite rooms even through that room did not have AC. It is also nice to know ahead of time, that Alison has Rudy as a driver that can transport people anywhere (grocery store, fish market, bank, airport, restaurants) and help with experiences (like Black River, Mayfield Falls, the Blue Hole). You just need to ask Rudy about prices as he just makes his money by driving you. Also, many times the experience costs less than the companies like Viator and can give a more local experience. Also the staff can cook for you, just ask them. You would pay for the groceries and pay them about $100 to cook the meal- well worth it! Also, it is good to know you should expect to help tip the staff. I think we tipped about $20/day to Pauline (more if she helps with laundry or cooking), and 20% on our bar tab with Julie, then gave Bubba $40 (landscaping) and tip out Tony, as he will do everything to make your stay perfect. I cannot say enough great things about the experience. The ONLY downfall was over Christmas and NY, the next door outdoor night club plays music so loud, it will be hard to sleep. We actually had to get a room at another hotel for my parents on those two nights, but I think they only book events there a few days a year. Know that it is all about the beach, the bar, swimming, hanging outside and spending time with those you are with. It is not the all inclusive resort, and that is exactly why we liked it- ya mon. We hope to come back and will hold a special place in our hearts for our experiences and stay in Jamaica at the Gatehouse and with all the amazing staff.

Heaven on earth
I can’t say enough what a great place this is!! The pictures really don’t do it justice. The bedrooms were large and the beds comfy. Kitchen was large enough for 2 or 3 to cook and had every thing we needed. The outside dining was perfect and we spent many nights gathered around playing cards, laughing and enjoying the ocean breeze. Tony was an amazing host! He made us feel like we were at our home away from home! The bar was so fun to hang out in! And our Thanksgiving dinner he made for us was fantastic! Bubba was busy constantly cleaning the grounds, moving chairs around, filling in for Tony at the bar. And Pauline is just an Angel, so sweet, accommodating and loving, she really made us feel welcome! She kept the place immaculate. Rudy the driver was a bucketload of fun! He took us everywhere we wanted and took us to some great out of the way places that weren’t filled with other tourists. He is a pro at navigating the crazy traffic/drivers, really made us feel safe! Really everyone there felt like family by the time we left! The location couldn’t have been better. Great Restaurants and bars on either side, amazingly crystal clear, warm water and white soft sand. Truly heaven on earth!!

Loved the place
Have you ever been on vacation and felt at home? Well that’s Tony’s place! This will be a vacation location that we will go to again. Booking with Ali was a breeze. Tony met us at the gate when we got there to let us in. The location was perfect with lots of good local food. We rented the whole place ourselves and we’re glad we did. Everyone had their own room and privacy. The beach was amazing. Tony’s hospitality, Pauline tidying things up and Julie’s drinks were perfect. We got married on the beach in front of the place and it was a great way to end an awesome week. Wanda loved on us daily too and the kids loved her.

Best of Both Worlds
North Gate gives the full flavor of Jamaica. It is a Jamaican home situation in the heart of the beach. This allowed us to experience the local places to eat and to experience the local people of the community. A great feature of the house is the family veranda that was a nice gathering place for me and my family. It gives an open view of the ocean no matter what time of day. •Pauline kept our rooms fresh with clean linen. She prepared for us a delicious curry chicken meal. •Tony gave us so much history of the area. We all sat with him; sometimes in a group and sometimes individually to listen to his stories. North Gate gave us an unique opportunity of experiencing Jamaica that a resort could not. Thanks for the journey.
