Hey Everybody! Wondering if anybody can recommend a fairly inexpensive house on the 7 mile beach that has 2 or 3 bedrooms with a kitchen and AC? I've been doing google searches and only can find really expensive places. My friends and I are looking to travel in November...I usually stay at and ADORE Country-Country but this time I'm traveling with my buddies.... Thank you much!
This is not right on the beach, but Greenleaf cabins has 2 houses that have full kitchens and balconies.The Devon house is where I stayed and it has 2 bedrooms,kitchen and small dining area with 2 sofas and a tv.Greenleaf is right behind Best in the West. They also have a larger house in the back which faces the Morass.I think I paid 50 a night last March.
Affordable on the beach...2-3 bedrooms w/kit & ac...check out...
Crystal Waters
Negril Beach Club Condos
White Sands (the larger WS units are across the street but you have beach access)
Beach House Villas
Tree House
Thanks Shooter! I know where that is. I ve had lunch at Best in the West and sat in their swing....My only concern is that if we dont atay directly
on the beach where will
we chill and swim? Dont they have strict rules about who can go on what areas of the beach?
ThANKS bNEWB,, BUT THESE ARE STILL SORT OF expensive. We are all teachers from Cleveland and the flights are already costing an arm and a leg... Anything cheaper?
THANK YOU!!!!!
Valentina....
if you're looking for something cheaper, you'll probably have to look across the street from the beach or stay in the cliffs area.
Many hotel beach properties don't have a problem with non-guests visiting as long as you're buying drinks etc or you can hang out at beach bars such as Sun Beach, Boardwalk, Margaritaville & so on.
The beach is public. Even on the beaches of the all inclusives...one can walk down the beach, and take a quick dip in the sea if you want...just can't go onto the property of the AI's. As far as the rest, most places are quite happy to have you hang out for a while, drink at their bar, eat, etc. Some may have restrictions regarding the use of their lounge chairs, but other than that...the more the merrier. Enjoy your trip....even if you have to save some bucks and stay across the street on the morass side...it will still be awesome. Just be careful crossing..many have crossing guards..of sort, but irregardless, you will have a ball!! Take time to go up on the cliffs. Some great eating and great vibes to be had!!Quote:

You should have seen the delicious food she prepared.Authentic Jamaican.About 100 bucks a week for her service food not included.She will shop and cook whatever you want.Mikeys grocery,Best in the west and Greenleaf are owned by the same family.Very secure there.Only one way in.Mikey lives in the front and his brother lives in the back on the Morass side.
Seawind has a beachhouse that has ac and a kitchen. There are two one is smaller then the other. Last time I stayed there it housed 5 girls in the large one nad a family of 4 in the small one. It is truly right on the beach!
I agree Green Leaf Cabins are going to be about the best rate you will find for a 3BR house on beach road. http://www.greenleafcabins.com/rates-info.html
When you split the $180/night between 4-6 people, I'd consider that very affordable. Also, they hint they have a reduced off-season rate, so you might even do better.
Granted, it is morass side, but right across the street is Sunbeach Bar with everything you would need.
Hidden Paradise has 2 and 3 bedroom suites, also at reasonable rates. http://www.hidden-paradise.com/rates.html
Again, they are on morass side of road, but you have beach chair access at their related restaurant right across the street, Mama Flo's.
One thing to note when comparing prices - some hotels note their price includes all taxes/fees, some don't.
This can be anywhere from 15-20% and a surprise if you are not expecting it.
I point this out because I saw that HP says their rate includes them, while GLC is silent so may or may not.
Sometimes you can find listings on Craigslist Caribbean. A lady named used to post her 2 houses there, she goes by the name BlueIris or something like that. They are on the morass side, across from Pilot Cafe. I've seen the property, nice.
Thanks Shooter! I checked it out & think Greenleaf is what we will do!
Thanks for the info! Knew I could count on a fellow BUCKEYE!
Cheers from Shaker Heights!
I think $180 is a tad high for across the road with no beach or pool.There are 5 sometimes 6 of us in my immediate family group and we never pay that.
The seastar inn can house you comfortable in 2 rooms with free breakfast free phones and internets and free rides to the beach and back for I think they had a special on of 49$ per room so $100 in total I would go for that for sure
There are also very cheap deals online for fun holiday beach resort which is in a very good location right on the beach for much cheaper than 180$
If you only want a wooden cabin then try westport cottages which is opposite travellers beach resort and is very clean cute and safe -has about ten cabins and a huge shared kitchen that was 20 dollars per night per cabin.
Also there is roots bamboo but I preferred westport due to privacy.
Legends and samsara SOMETIMES have deals through thirs party websites.
Check out Ansell's if you want a true beach experience.
The cabins are small, but functional. get two adjoining for a big bunch!
20 steps from the carribbean....
Tictoc - I was considering the $180 price a deal if split between 5-6 people, for a 3BR unit. You're right if they can get away with 2BR.
Since the OP specifically mentioned a kitchen and wants very low-cost, I am assuming they are planning on cooking the majority of their meals themselves to save money.
Problem is they are looking for November, and the Seastar special ends on Nov. 1.
And the $49 rooms are the ones without kitchens, rooms with kitchenettes are $59 during the special - even if Chris would extend the special for them. Otherwise, they are looking at $79.
Plus, the kitchenette is just a mini-fridge and a 2-burner hot plate - not really suited for preparing meals for 4-6 people. (not knocking it because it was perfect for just 2 of us)
A better solution at Seastar would be the large 2BR units with a full kitchen - at $129. Then adding a $59 room if the group is 5-6 people.
But doing that, then, makes the $180 at GLC the cheaper option.
It really comes down to number of people and how many BRs they actually need - and whether they really want to be in beach area, or if West End is OK for them.
thepegboy - I have not visited Ansell's so can't compare it to Seastar or GLC options. Whether the OP considers or not, for my own possible future usage - do you know what would cost be if have 5-6 people and need 3BRs?
You may want to check out the cabins at Yellow Bird. We have stayed there for the last 13 years. The cabins are two bedroom. Both bedrooms have two beds and bathroom. The main part of the cabin has eating/sitting area and kitchen. The patios are large and they have the best yard/vibe on the beach in my opinion.
Ohhhh...Head in the Trees...good advice! I can't believe I didn't think of Yellow Bird...right on the beach.
Head in The Treees / Bnewb,
Do you guys know a round-about price? I checked it out and no prices posted on-line....
THANKS!
Valentina...I would suggest emailing them or I'll be there tomorrow for the realnegril.com webcast...I can check then.
Ohio seastar could book 1 room with kitchen one without depends what sleeping arrangements are you can fit 6 in 2 bed if really wanted to still works out cheaper than alternatives with better amenities.Also do not forget about beach club condos they have a 2 and 3 bed with kitchen I think even the 1 bed or studio actually sleeps 6 and costs something like 70-100 us per night
Valentina...
Yellow Bird is $120.00us per night (tax inc) for a two bedroom suite w/ac & breakfast. Special end Nov.30/11.
coco la palm has a 3 bedroom suite
that is a great deal on one of the best spots on the beach.........that will be tuff to beat.....plus it includes breakfastQuote:

The cottages are 90 steps from your porch to the sea. The sunset is a beautiful site to experience from your front porch. I have found it to be the least expensive cottage with kitchen included on the actual 7 mile beach. If you like to cook for yourselves then you can walk to the grocery store and to the Negril river to buy the fresh catch of the day from the fishermen at about 2 or 3 pm.
Fay and Ansell are very nice people. If you are interested in seeing more photo's than what's on their website then send me a note.
Ansell's Thatch Walk Cottages, you can see pictures on Tripadvisor.com
I have walked by Ansell's cottages a bunch of times, and it looks nice. can't beat the location, or the price.
