If you seek peace, this is the spot. If you want a Sandals experience, look elsewhere. Great for writers, artists and anyone one who wants to vacation for complete relaxation.

great experience, amazing furniture, incredible seawater pool, private beach

We had such a fantastic time staying at bolt hhole cottage. The cottage and location are gorgeous and the staff are so helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

We stayed at the cottage and it was great. The location is unbelievable and Daniel and his team are great hosts. We will come back!

We came to stay at Bolt Hole Cottage because we love Portland. We have stayed at several different homes in both Goblin Hill and San San in the past. The plus side of this is being right at the ocean side. The dock and the pool were awesome to utilize. I am a huge fan of the ocean, but not beach grass. The area you can swim in off the dock is small and the same with the beach area. It’s shallow and you are completely surrounded by beach grass. There were also people that invaded our private dock area and would not leave. The coast guard luckily showed up and made them leave, at which point they started yelling at us that we called the coast guard on them and basically that this wouldn’t be the end of this. Nothing did happen after that but they did sit outside the gate for several hours after they were kicked off the private property. Steve the gardener and Dwight the night security were wonderful and helpful. Donna the housemaid and cook was a little difficult to understand and honestly this worked much different than other places we stayed. We only rented the cottage as we only had two people in our group. The little two burner hotplate in the kitchen didn’t work very well. When we explained this to Donna she offered that we could use the main kitchen to cook. What we didn’t realize was that we would have to wait until she arrived at 9am to cook our breakfast. Being early risers at 5:30-6am that was very late for us to wait to eat and start our day. She also left by 6pm so we had to rush back to the house so that we could get our dinner cooked before she locked up and left for the day. It wasn’t great to have to schedule our day around her schedule. If you aren’t a fan of the heat at night beware. The ceiling fan in the bedroom only ran on low speed and didn’t create much cooling effect. The cottage is very hot and hard to sleep in at night. The king bed is two twin beds pushed together, very hard and uncomfortable. While we enjoyed the beautiful property itself our stay here just didn’t match up with the many other wonderful experiences we have had staying in the Portland Area. In the evening the sound of the ocean is amazing and the view second to none, but you also deal with the sound of the traffic 24-7. We were grateful for our time away and we actually got engaged on the little private beach on the property. I would recommend this property but would suggest just renting the main house as the cottage was under par.

We’ll come back as soon as we can!

The location is perfect in Jamaica. Right by the ocean, in the middle of so many natural wonders. The staff taking care of the property and guests are 100% pure Jamaican kindness. The house has that Caribbean cachet that allows you to just fall back and be transported in another world. I never go back to a place twice but this will be the exception. The owner is a true gentleman. Heaven on earth!

Amazing property with gorgeous ocean views, pool and wonderful staff. Highly highly recommended. Owner is very nice and provides all the necessary details for the stay. This is the place to stay in Port Antonio!

Das Cottage befindet sich auf dem Grundstück "Bolthole". Die Sicht aus dem Schlafzimmer und von der Terrasse auf das weite Meer ist einfach nur schön. Die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Von den Mitarbeitenden wurden wir sehr verwöhnt. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und kommen wieder!

Die Wochen in Bolt Hole haben uns sehr gut gefallen und gut getan! Sehr zu empfehlen. Ein kleines Paradies!

Noch besser als beworben. Wir waren mit 11 Personen da. Die Räumlichkeiten sind sehr liebevoll und mit viel Platz eingerichtet. Das Personal ist super nett und kümmert sich um alles. Die Zwei Damen kümmern sich um das leibliche Wohl um die Wäsche und halten alles in Schuss. Der Gärtner verwöhnt einen mit frischen Kokosnüssen und der Nachtwächter Zieht mit einen durch das nächtliche Port Antonio. Einfach nur genial. Der Vermieter hat im Vorfeld schon alles wie gewünscht organisiert. Wir wurden vom Flughafen abgeholt und "zuhause" standen die Mietwagen schon bereit. Ausflüge wurden vorab vom Besitzer oder vor Ort von der Managerin organisiert. Danke es war mein schönster Urlaub den ich bis jetzt hatte.

Beautiful and elegant house; wonderful staff; perfect location

Das Cottage ist wunderbar gelegen und man geniesst eine hohe Privatsphäre. Die luxuriöse Ausstattung und die geschmackvolle Einrichtung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Entspannende Stunden auf der schönen Veranda oder am eigenen kleine Sandstrand lassen die Hektik des Alltags schnell vergessen. Die Angestellten sind stets freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. In Bolthole fühlt man sich sofort zuhause. Wir genossen wunderbare und sehr erholsame Ferien, von denen wir viele schöne Erinnerungen mit nach Hause nahmen. Rilkes Zitat ‚Hiersein ist herrlich‘ muss seinen Ursprung in Bolthole haben!

This is a beautiful compound hidden on the coast, very close to town. The decor is simple but truly elegant and very comfortable. The views are incredible and the staff top notch. Donna and Carine made us the most delicious meals, as good or better than we had anywhere on the island. There is a great night watchman, Errol (although we felt very safe it was nice to meet him and know he was there) and the gardeners maintain the beach and garden and perfectly. There is much to do in and around Port Antonio and the people in the area are friendly and happy to help. It is off the beaten path but worth the effort to get there.

So grateful to Daniel and Erika for sharing their home with us-thank you! The staff was so very kind and attentive at every turn. The location of the cottage was perfect, the sounds of the waves so peaceful. The design and furnishing were so tranquil and simple and the cleanliness was excellent. Every detail has been caringly thought of and every need planned for. I strongly recommend without any hesitation. Enjoy !!!
