Comfortable, Convenient and Caring

The location is convenient - close to the beach, airport, ben down market, fishing boats and a few establishments. The house is comfortable - cool, modern, spacious, quality, and outside spaces. The cook, Miss Annette, cared for us beyond our expectations - warm hospitality, flexibility, delicious Jamaican food, clean rooms, and she became our friend. The entire stay was a blessing!

Lovely, but remote and a little different from expected

Communication with the owner was great, transportation was good (though expensive and the cost was not predictable), and Annette, the housekeeper/cook was excellent. The food she prepared was great; I ate more than usual.We did not understand how remote the house is; the nearest town, Duncans, a 15-20 taxi away, offers rudimentary grocery stores but not much else. To do anything much away from the house, expect to pay driver Kirk 50-80, so the cost of a dinner out is nearly doubled.The images led us to believe that the house was right on the beach instead of 2 houses and more than 100 meters away. Not terrible, but a bit of a surprise. The beach was lovely and we met some really nice people, both tourists and locals.I spent a couple decades living in third-world countries, and the local bars/food service was worse than anything I saw there. The one with a rooftop bar was sort of okay, but really basic and the music was too loud to really order. Leroy's was impossible. The fresh seafood was good, but expect to pay Western prices.For excursions, the Blue Hole and Duns River Falls were excellent. The Bamboo Beach Club was worth a visit.

If want to be pampered and taken care of. Less than 700 feet from the Beautiful bach.

Ms. Annette was an excellent Chef, attendant, concierge, Tour guide, and confident person. She made our stay remarkable and memorable and kept the place spotless. If you book this location, your meals will be served when you want them and presented beautifully. One Rhythm is located within a few steps of the beach. Our host, Karen, made arrangements for our driver, Kirk, before our arrival. The Villa is secluded, so if you want to relax, One Rhythm in Duncan's Bay, Trewany, is the place.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at One Rhythm Villa. Ms. Annette took great care of our family. We rented a car for the week and explored Ochi, MoBay, and Falmouth and had a great time doing the river and waterfalls. Duncan’s Bay beach was beautiful, never crowded and the little beach bar (Leroy’s) was a great place to chill. We wish we could stay forever. This place is a little piece of paradise.

One rhythm Villa

First time to Jamaica chose one rhythm villa. Was first picked up at the airport by our driving services which was greatly helpful. Kirk is an amazing dependable driver. Then arrived at the villa only to be welcomed by miss Annette, who had a meal already prepared for us. She is an amazing woman makes you feel welcomed safe, and is full of local experience and knowledge which helped us navigate our stay. miss Annette and Kirk took us to the grocery store. She helped us shop for the week after that we stayed at the villa because it’s that beautiful and the beach is amazing. We had one excursion but other than that we stayed right at the villa it’s everything it describes to be, and then some.! can’t speak highly enough on one rhythm missi Annette and Kirk, the driver. The locals are amazingly friendly! We fell in love with the dogs.lol will totally be returning

Dream honeymoon!!

Where to start? Karen is so communicative and helpful. She was great to work with and so flexible. And Ms. Annette is truly a treasure. She is a wonderful cook, a great resource for information and so kind. We loved staying here and are truly sad to be leaving. We will miss the rhythmic sound of the tree frogs at night, Ms. Annette’s banana fritters in the morning, driving everywhere (Dunn’s River Falls, Blue Hole, the Luminous Lagoon, Mayfield falls, and beaches everywhere, and skipping restaurants so we can come home to Ms. Annette’s dinner waiting for us (better than any restaurant!). The beach is a few short steps away. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We recommend this to anyone anytime! We are coming back and you will love it too!

Quiet and private

My husband and I chose One Rythm after looking at several other villas along the north coast. We like the fact that it was right on the beach yet private. Pictures on the website also made it seem very inviting. We were also very impressed with all the five star reviews received and how happy the previous guest were with their stay there. On arrival we were greeted by our housekeeper, Miss Annette. She was very pleasant and welcoming, and immediately gave us a tour of the entire property. She had a wonderful dinner they ready And waiting for us. Dinner was great. On our second day Miss Annette went with us to the Falmouth market where we bought fresh produce and meat for her to cook for us. Miss Annette continually went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had all we needed. She did an amazing job with all of our meals. As for the beach, it was very clean and very quiet. We had the beach all to ourselves a couple of times. We definitely enjoyed the time we spent at the beach. The only complaint we have is with the amount of mosquitoes. We had to keep all the windows and doors closed to keep them out. It also limited how late we could stay out in the yard, that’s as beautiful by the way. However, overall, it was an awesome experience and we would definitely stay there again. Thanks to the owner Karen for being so available and willing to meet our requests and needs. Thanks again to Miss Annette for being an awesome host and a phenomenal cook.

Birthday Suprise!

I wanted to share a special experience with by daughter on her 12th birthday & I couldn't have chosen a more perfect vacation spot! One Rhythm and everyone around made my girls birthday absolutely magical! When we arrived Johnny picked us up at the airport and the huge smile on his face made us realize every little thing was gonna be all right! Don't worry about a thing Ms. Annette said, so we didn't. She took care of all our needs, what a joy it was to not worry about preparing meals and know what she cooked would be perfect! Ms. Annette had the baker deliver the most delicious birthday cake and every meal she prepared was a delight. Snorkeling early morning in the Sea was so peaceful. Our guide took us to a great spot right near the villa! We loved exploring the caves and checking out the shop in the fishing village and meeting the locals. The best part was waking up and walking right out to the beach every morning! The beauty can not be explained, only experienced. I wish I could share all my pictures! I think this will become a yearly tradition for me and my daughter. She fell in love with Jamaica and said I will never be able to top this birthday! We cant wait to get back to One Rhythm and the one love we felt there. Thank you Ms. Karen for sharing your villa and your Jamaican family with us.

An oasis of peace and beauty

One Rhythm is a beautiful little villa in a very small and lovely neighborhood. The yard is magical with so many gorgeous tropical plants that thrive in the warm and sunny conditions. The locals are very kind, friendly and respectful. The beach had small waves in November but people told me it was very calm at different times of year. Turquoise, warm water and the beach is often empty and you have it to yourself…a huge bonus. Local families go to the beach onSunday and we made friends with a few of the local people. Tony the Rasta man was our one stop shopping as well as being a friend. He is kind, genuine and extremely helpful whenever needed. He made a huge bonfire for us the last nite and we would help him out with food. I suggest the Martha Brae rafting trip..so much fun, and you could swim along side the raft in the clean waters. It was a fave and well worth the money. There is a neighborhood pack of dog gos which I would feed at the beach whenever I could. The two little girls were very sweet and I was sad to leave them. I wish I could have taken them home.. Captain Kirk was a great driver and very knowledgeable. And finally Ms Annette.aka Annie and Christine. She is a gem and her home cooked meals were out of this world, and made with love.So much better than restaurants.Our motto for Annie was she is an odd combination of “really sweet” and don’t mess with me”. A strong woman. Ask her to make you meat pies. Finally so much positive energy surrounded us.

Nice & Relaxing

First and foremost, this is not a resort vacation. Anyone looking for a "resort experience" would be disappointed. Loved Miss. Annette and as the week went on I think everyone connected with her more. At little awkward at first b/c while the communication with Karen was great, I should have been more direct in asking questions with regard to food. Karen mentioned we should stop on the way from the airport when picked up, but we ended up making two trips that day b/c we didn't buy any food. I (my fault) assumed we'd just "get by" the first night / morning, and then go on a larger shopping trip. My bad... So, two driver's fares later and we were stocked up. The village itself was nice. I was unhappy with the amount of trash littered across the top of the dunes and around the entrance to the beach area. In fact, my wife and I went out with a garbage bag one day to pick up the trash left behind by some folks. No biggie - again - not a resort. The house itself was great. Each BR has it's own AC unit, so that was nice. Make sure you turn the AC unit off during the day. Also, just a tip - close your doors to help keep unwanted insects out of the bedrooms. The villa is open air, which is great - but bugs live in the open air. I liked having a driver, it was nice. I felt as though a couple times maybe the pricing for trips here or there was a bit high, and the pricing didn't make sense. One time $80, the next time $60, etc. But, we always tipped, and felt like we were good, happy travelers. The exit covid testing was interesting. Cool doc, the clinic was in a strip mall, and lots of locals were there for different ailments clearly as one gentleman was sitting with blood dripping on the floor. The told him to leave, and presumably he went to another place. The Martha Brae river was neat. Kinda a money grab at the end with several folks trying to sell stuff - but fun nonetheless. The beach was amazing and by far the best part. Relaxing, no one around (except for an occasional villager who wanted to sell you something, but always simply left you alone if you were polite and said "no thank you"). Annette's banana fritters were amazing. All and all a nice relaxing stay and will def consider coming back as I feel like I know more of what to do, and what not to do - and I now have a greater expectation of what it means to have someone cooking and cleaning for you all week!

Absolutely loved it

We had an amazing time here in Jamaica. We absolutely loved the property and its quiet location. Miss Annette is just beyond fabulous! Not only did she prepare us scrumptious meals, but she provided everything we needed and asked for during our stay. From arranging a cave tour to borrowing a fishing pole. She made our stay memorable. Highly recommend this place. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Amazing Experience

We truly enjoyed our stay at the villa. Clean and bright with an open air concept. The fresh sea breeze coming through the open doors all day was one of many favorite things that we loved. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! Ms. Annette made the best breakfast, lunch and dinner. She made several traditional Jamaican dishes that we loved. Karen and Ms. Annette also arranged our beach wedding. They had every detail covered from preacher, legal documents, cake and decorations. We had no worries.The walk to the beach took 1 min. We went everyday. We walked along the beach, swam and just relaxed. From the beach, we walked to Leroy's bar and met the locals. It was a great experience!Blue Hole, Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting, and Dunn's River falls were all great! Our driver, Kirk, was always there on time and took us straight to our destinations. He gave lots of local history and made great recommendations. Kirk was excellent.Our host, Karen, was always available by phone, kind, informative and really cared about our stay. I cannot write enough good things about our 7 days in Duncans Bay.Tips:Bring water shoes for hiking the Dunns River Falls - it is amazing! (thanks to Ms. Annette for supplying water shoes for me since I forgot mine)Meet the locals at Leroy's and keep walking down to the next local bar and restaurant - great people!Thanks again to Karen and Ms. Annette for giving us the perfect wedding and honeymoon experience.

Perfect Honeymoon

We had the best week at One Rythm! We were picked up by Kirk at the airport and we used him for the week to explore the island. He was wonderful a very kind man and great driver! When we arrived at the villa Mrs Annett had an amazing authentic Jamaican meal made for us! Every single meal she made was amazing and so delicious! Mrs Annett was the best host for the week. She helped us get massages on our last day and helped us with anything else we needed! I wish she could have come home with us, but we will just have to visit her again.
