Villa
Described by the Guardian newspaper as a 'destination of rare character' and Vogue Travel as 'Jamaica's best kept secret', Treasure Beach is an unspoilt, off the beaten track cluster of fishing villages which will delight and charm travellers looking for the authentic Jamaica.
​Turtles' Nest is a beach front villa on the south coast of the island, where it's sunny all year round with a gentle sea breeze. Just steps away from a secluded sandy beach cove, this area is perfect for swimming, sunbathing and gentle morning strolls. Private and quiet, the recently built villa has three double bedrooms and additional accommodation in a cottage in the grounds. There is a private pool and patio, large sitting room and fully equipped kitchen. It also comes with your own personal chef and caretaker. ...Described by the Guardian newspaper as a 'destination of rare character' and Vogue Travel as 'Jamaica's best kept secret', Treasure Beach is an unspoilt, off the beaten track cluster of fishing villages which will delight and charm travellers looking for the authentic Jamaica.

My stay at Turtles Nest Villa has to be one of the most beautiful, relaxing and all round fantastic experiences I have ever had. The first morning here, I was on the beach for sunrise and I just burst into tears at how stunning it is! The Location is perfect with local authentic restaurants and bars all close by. Gorgeous beaches, delicious food and so much more! The staff were all amazing, so helpful, welcoming, kind and informative on local exciting places to go and visit. The villa felt like home and was super clean!
A holiday I will never forget and will never stop telling people how great it is!
Thank you Lucy and your wonderful team

Great time. Pampered by the Staff. Relaxed and Refreshed
Our group included 3 couples from Cincinnati, Ohio. Very quite and lots of time to Do Nothing. The staff was amazing - Zeb helped us book adventures and Dacia and Peta-Gaye prepared our Jamaican meals which were amazing. Curried Goat was our favorite. Mackerel Rundown was too strong for our group, but we all tried it.
Amazing pool and beach front property. Sugar and Spice always kept track of us and were sad when we left.
Zeb helped arrange our tours and dinner reservations which were amazing. Great trips to the Black River and Pelican Bar - watch out for the crocodiles. YS Falls was an amazing trips - lots of fun. And the Table to Farm meal on the beach was incredible.
We spent 10 wonderful days and hated to leave. Hope to return soon.

Just unbelievably wonderful!
Turtles Nest is right on the beach where you can enjoy walks with the dogs and the amazing sunset every evening. The house is beautifully decorated with locally sourced furnishings, so if you like them you can buy locally!
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The cooks will accommodate any food requests. The breakfasts are filling and delicious! Zeb, the caretaker, will organise anything you need in terms of car hire, trips, restaurant bookings, etc. There are several fantastic bars/restaurants all within a 10 minute drive, so plenty to choose from during our week’s stay.
We can thoroughly recommend the trip to Pelican Bar and the Black River to see the crocodiles. You may even be lucky and see dolphins too!
The property has plenty of shady areas outside as well as full sun. The pool is always clean and feels fresh, not full of chlorine.
We would return tomorrow if you could! Thank you for making it an amazing holiday!

Slice of Heaven
My wife and our three kids were desperately looking for a beach vacation at the end of last year and after scouting the entire East coast and Gulf coast, we decided that we need to look elsewhere due to price and locations. When we saw Turtle's Nest villa, we knew right away this is where we wanted to go. We spent 7 nights here and wer absolutely amazed by essentially everything: the location, the house itself, the beachfront, etc. But the best part were the people. Zeb, Dacia, Pete-Gaye and our Security staff were simply amazing and we are staying in touch with them. We have gotten to know each other, had breakfast and dinner together and through them and their help truly experienced what Jamaica is like.
Need drivers to take you anywhere? Zeb has it covered.
Want any kind of food? Dacia and Pete-Gaye got it covered, and Zeb can find you any type of seafood through a local fisherman
Son slices foot and needs medication (yes, this happened on the first night)? They will organize supplies and even help treat the wound.
Our worst experience was our last night stay in a 5 star resort... Terrible service, food was inedible and the overall feel did not reflect what we encountered in Treasure Beach with the Turtle's Nest family.

I have to visit again
The property is so beautiful. The staff are all friendly and I just love Sugar and Spice. The food is to die for. Dacia and Petagaye prepared amazing meals for our family. I would definitely stay here again. Everything just made the experience even more worthwhile.

R & R at Turtle’s Nest
Although our time at Turtle’s Nest was short, our group of six people rated it excellent across the board. Starting with our welcome from Zeb and the dogs to the security guard provided at night , housekeeping and of course the two wonderful Chef’s who provided great home cooking led by Dacia. During our three days the facilities provided all the amenities you would want for a quality stay. The bedrooms’s are large and spacious, with all the amenities you need to relax and just enjoy your stay. The private pool was wonderful especially now as we wonted to limit our interaction with crowds. We look forward to staying at this beachfront property again and again.

March Break perfection!
This was our first post pandemic vacation. We had quiet tranquility but also amazing excursions with the help of Zeb! A true Jamaican adventure that didn’t just take on the touristy areas. jack Spratts, Lashings, YS falls, Pelican Bar, Black River were all a can’t miss. They should have advertised the dogs- we would have booked just to have them with us- two sweet lovely girls who helped us miss our pooches less! Staff were wonderful- Daicia and Petra-k knew all of us by name and cooked with us! And Zeb was super attentive. Water was amazing. Rough but swimmable if you paid attention to the undertow. Definitely recommend!
