Who has had experience with rentals in Treasure Beach??

Mi shell, that is what i was going to recommend. The pool at Villa Soleil is big, and you won't get any closer to the water. Rebeca (and Debian) are wonderful to deal with at treasure tours. Some negotiating on prices is pretty easy to do right now.

P.S. Villa Soleil is a 2 bedroom with a double bed on the deck. That bed could easily be used for someone that doesn't need A.C. or mind sleeping outside. It is a great place that would comfortably fit 6. I took several naps on that outside bed and it is great. It is under cover and protected from any weather.

There were a few on TreasureTours that I did not see before - especially Villas Sable and L'Ocean, sharing a pool would be fine. We might be down to two couples which makes all searching much easier. I am wondering...for Soleil (which does look super - except for no pool - I am a pool junkie - try to swim 3 hours a day - starting at before breakfast and I know I won't be able to get into the ocean and do the same thing to the same extent) and for the other two - where are they? I can tell you that I stayed at Sunset last year -- we walked down past Jack Sprats a ways -- to that nice clothing and neat stuff store, and another five minutes or so down the road. We walked the other way - to the plaza and then also up to MarBlu. We did drive around a bit with Janet from Sunset to look around. Do you think based on that, you could tell me where they might be...thanks so much again.

Villa Du Soleil has a nice big pool. The villa is the other way from Sunset (not towards Jakes). If you were to head torwards Smurfs and keep going for approx. 3/4 mile you would be there.

Sable and D'Ocean are close to Soleil. Soleil has the largest pool in Treasure Beach for rental properties (at least as of last year). It has amazing deck that overhangs the sea. I would say it is more suitable for a couple or family and not spacious for 3 couples (or even 2 in my opinion). We walk from Soleil to Jake's and beyond. You could put 2 up at either Sable and D'Ocean and one couple at Soleil and enjoy both properties.

We have done the Negril experience, and no disrespect to Negril, however we love the laid back feeling of the TB area.
Where to stay? If you are looking for privacy/pool/clean and realatively inexpensive check out Seaside Villa http://www.seasidevillajamaica.com/Home.html
We have not stayed there but have friends that do and they love it. If you want cheaper and don't mind your own very large pool, that is the ocean, try staying in Great Bay at the Inn at Great Bay. Call Alex for more info, nothing fancy but this is our favorite by far in the area. Alex is a great host - 876-879-6970

There is much less "hustle" in TB. Eating and drinking is more reasonable too.

My favorite bays are Great Bay & Billy's Bay for the people and the vibe. There are more places to eat in Calabash in Frenchmans. I have not been to Billy's Bay in a while but when I was there there was a great cook shop on the main road around the corner from Irie Rest. Irie Rest also had great food cheap.

IMHO Great Bay has the best beach in the area. Great Bay Inn is just across the road from the beach, Blue Marlin and Coquina are on the nicest part of the beach. Drifwood is on the sea and is a short walk to Mary Bay. Driftwood now has a pool. There are two cook shops on the main road. Goldman & AnnMarie (across from the Sea Crab) had excellent food cheap when I was last in Great Bay in June 2011.
