Unit not as represented in listing
We spent 6 weeks in this condo; a working washer and dryer is essential for this long of a stay. 2 days prior to our arrival, we were informed the dryer wasn't working but would be fixed upon the owner's arrival Feb. 8th. Once he arrived, we were told a dryer wasn't available so we had to hang our clothes outside, causing a huge inconvenience. The owner suggested we use a public laundromat but we did not feel safe in doing so, nor did we want to spend our time sitting inside of one, taking time away from our vacation. The mattress in the 2nd bedroom sags on both sides and there is a hump in the middle. We addressed this with the owner who promised a replacement, but one never arrived during our 6 week stay. When we arrived, the shower in the main bathroom was not operational nor was the TV remotes and ceiling fans. After several visits by maintenance, the shower and fans were fixed but we had to wait 2 weeks before getting replacement remotes, causing frustration when wanting to watch tv. The back porch light did not work causing a safety issue. The owner, who was well aware of this, finally had the light fixed after our 4th week stay. Other problems with the condo include a loose faucet in the powder room, main shower heavily stained with mold, shower hose had hole in it, shower heads clogged, toilet in master bathroom leaks, screen door in master bedroom off the track and no screen in the front door. Although we were in constant communication with the owner regarding these problems, there was always an excuse as to why these issues could not be addressed. The maintenance on this condo has been neglected and we do not recommend anyone staying here.

Very nice just like the photos!
We had a really nice time in Negril! Little Bay is one of the first private homes before you get into town. We were very pleased with our home for the 6 nights we stayed.
We had a rent a car so it was very easy for us to get around. My husband is a morning person and walked to the resorts every day along the 7 mile beach.
The security guards were so nice and friendly. We did not have a beach view from the house, but definitely loved our stay here.
The house was great! everything you needed there to cook and have family meals. It would have been great itf there was an outside BBQ.. But that ok I enjoyed cooking in the beautful kitchen.
The pool is great and we enjoyed snorjking all around the private beach.
We had a lovely time!

Perfect charming place to be................
Our stay at Little Bay Country Club was just heaven. The location was perfect if you want to be at a quiet place, yet you are so close by to all the other activities as well all along the 7 mile beach. The charming 2 bedroom was just perfect and could not asked for anything better being at Negril. The private beach area was just heaven. We had the whole pool house and beach area all to ourselves. It was incredible.
The instructions on how to handle the doors, remotes to fans, AC and TV was all in the instruction book. It took some doing, but overall, it all worked out great. We want to come back again. I loved it so much. Thank you for having us.

The Best of Both Worlds!
Our family stayed at Spence Villa for one week and really enjoyed our stay. We only wish we could have stayed for longer. We really loved the quiet and privacy of Little Bay Country Club. Since we visited during low tourist season, we had the pool and beach all to ourselves all week! It was really great having a really nice beach that is truly private, with very good snorkelling right from the shore, with a huge warm infinity pool, a short drive away from so many good restaurants and bars along Seven Mile Beach. We loved having the choice between the action of Long Bay and the cliffs, and the peace and quiet of the country club. In my experience, there really isn't anywhere else like that in Negril.
The villa itself was cozy and clean, and the kitchen was nice, new and well equipped. Both bedrooms have nice big beds, ac, and balconies. The big screen with cable in the living room was great for the evenings. Perfect for our family of four. The grounds of the country club are big and well maintained, with really good sunsets from one side of the property. Nice for an evening stroll.
We were picked up at Sangster by Joe Cool taxi service as recommended, they were very nice and efficient. Our driver, (Mervin) was great. He also took us to Mega Mart in Montego on the way and helped us shop. I highly recommend their service. Upon arrival we were greeted by Karen, who gave us the keys, showed us around and how a few things work. As mentioned in previous reviews, you should pay attention. The doors and windows work a little differently than most people would be used to, but easy once you get the hang of it. The starter package of breakfast food was a nice touch, thanks. We made our own breakfast and lunch, and took taxi rides (John) into town for dinner. We visited Hammond's Bakery for beef patties(very good), Best In The West for jerk chicken and pork, (which really is the best in my opinion) and had dinner at Ciao Italian restaurant. Ciao had excellent food, and a free shuttle to and from the cliffs which saves you a fair bit of money. We also visited The Boardwalk Village for some fun, food and drinks on Long Bay during the daytime. We spent an afternoon at Kool Runnings Waterpark which was a total blast, and spent an evening at Rick's Café for cliff jumping, live music, and sunset. Also great.
We definitely had a great time at Spence Villa, and would love to return soon. Thank you Cal, Dahlia, and Samantha for sharing your vacation home with us!

Perfect relaxation vacation
If you would like a relaxing vacation, a semi-private beach on a beautiful little bay that often feels like your own little piece of paradise, nice swimming area and easily accessible great snorkeling, no crowds, choice of beautiful pool or nice sandy beach -- complete with some shade trees -- and a roomy, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, relatively new townhouse just a 2-minute walk from the pool and beach -- in a safe and secure gated community -- then this place is for you.
If you are looking for a fancy all-inclusive resort with a lot of night life, this is not the place for you. If you like to get away from the crowds and relax on your own little beach, this is for you. You can always go to 7-mile beach some day if you want to, but we were content at Little Bay.
Negril is a short (5-6 miles) taxi ride away. You can hail a local taxi by the road near the gate for just about $2/person one-way. By the way, you can use US dollars just about everywhere in Jamaica. No need to convert a lot of money into Jamaican currency.
When we arrived, we discovered -- to our dismay -- the coffeemaker was broken and would not be replaced until the week following our departure. And there is no coffee shop nearby. We let Cal and Samantha know this was unacceptable. We did make our coffee the next morning the old-fashioned way boiling water on the stove. But that day Cal brought over a new coffeemaker (ahead of schedule) -- plus a bag of Blue Mountain coffee beans. Thank you , Cal!
One night Andrea, the manager and housekeeper, cooked us a delicious fresh fish dinner at our place. I recommend if you don't want to cook for yourself or go out every night. We did our own breakfasts and lunches and went out the other evenings.
Most romantic evening: Samantha made reservations for us at Ivan's on the West End. Such a lovely place with an incredible view of the ocean, cliffs, and setting sun. And good food at a reasonable price for such a romantic place. Plus they pick you up (free) and return you (charge). For a different experience, we liked "Best of the West" for Jamaican jerk chicken or fish or shrimp (or lobster).
I also highly recommend Joe Cool taxi service to and from the airport. Safe, personable, and they will stop for groceries (and help you shop) on your way to the townhouse. $120 round trip -- and worth it.
My wife and I would return here -- and hope to do so some day.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Owners use cameras to check on guests!
There are two cameras outside the house and the owners of the property send us messages and questions based on what they see on the cameras. For example about the vehicles or asking us when we leave! And they live in Canada...
Or why the same car appears again...
They say it is for security reasons but thats no
I would never ever go back to this house!excuse at all!

Schönste Stelle auf Jamaika
Während unserer Rundreise war in der Ferienwohnungsanlage mit großem Pool und Privatstrand das der schönste, sauberster und leisester Ort. Wir hätten dort 14 Tage bleiben sollen statt 1 Woche.
Wir waren von dem abwechslungsreiche Korallenriff sehr begeistert. Die Karibiksonnenuntergänge waren ein Traum.
Schade, daß die Jamaikaner noch nicht erkannt haben, daß die Strände sauber gehalten müssen, damit die Touristen wiederkommen.
