About this villa rental

Lovely Hikaru has undergone a very sensitive renovation, honoring the striking modern clean lines, while adding some new touches overseen by our very talented designer Sophie and her Building Team under the direction of Mr Luke.

We now have 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 3 of which featuring outdoor stone showers, a new kitchen house with polished concrete floors and counters, a much larger open living room with built in concrete couches, restored original vintage Quaker furnishings, ceilings opened to the metal roof lined with white tongue in groove board, African fabric covered furniture, new locally made Ratan lighting, high efficiency white 3- blade ceiling fans, and AC units in the 6 bedrooms (for those who want them- many will not so that they can be soothed by the ocean/mountain breezes and the sound of the crashing waves).

You will now enjoy a covered chic seating area on the lower seaside facing terrace, and a covered front porch with built in seating. We will certainly preserve the many wonderful mid-century features of this home.

Villa Hikaru is pleased to announce the completion of a second bedroom (with a bunk bed) in Garfield Cottage! This separate cottage located just behind the main villa has been gorgeously restored into the perfect tiny house, offering an embracing space for four additional guests with their own kitchenette, bathroom, a screened porch off of each bedroom and deck! It has been named Garfield Cottage in loving memory of one of the owner's Jamaican born physician father who loved such structures. This is only rented with the main villa to assure your privacy during your stay. With the addition of Garfield Cottage Villa Hikaru now comfortably houses 12! And we are thrilled to say we've gone solar which means we are fully powered by the Jamaican sunshine!

This unspoiled area is one of the few fisherman's villages that welcomes tourist -- not a tourist area that tolerates fishermen.

Our six-bedroom beachfront villa includes a 50-foot lap pool, private newly renovated tennis court, croquet court, and wonderful cook-housekeepers.

You can walk deserted beaches, or snorkel, body-surf, or fish. You can photograph and share the lives of our fishermen neighbors; or you can enjoy the privacy of an acre-plus lot, shielded by trees and flowers.

Privacy: We're in a fishing village, but shielded by heavy plantings on an acre and a quarter. And you even pick your own tropical fruit! Our village neighbors will welcome you if you choose to visit, but will not intrude. Watch for returning fishing boats from our patio, then walk 300 yards to the harbor to watch fish weighed and sold -- and bring some home! Or walk to the west over a series of all-but-deserted beaches, half-mile scallops of sandy beach separated by reef spurs you can climb over or wade over in reef shoes.

We allow two tradespeople -- a basket maker and wood carver -- to come into the back yard to show their wares. Miss Venecia will tell you they're there; it you say no thanks, they'll pack up and leave.

You can walk a hundred yards down our lane, if you'd like, to learn to play grown-up dominoes at a neighbor's bar.

Touristic things: Our groundskeeper leads a walk into the hills behind us, pointing out birds and orchids.

You can drive to Black River, or hire a local boatman, to see the historic slave-trading block, visit the colorful local outdoor market, or -- best of all -- go up the river a few miles, through mangrove forests and open marshlands occupied by colorful birds and crocodiles. On the way home, stop at the famous Pelican Bar for a drink.

The night sky and views : With almost no light pollution, the stars are brilliant. Go for a midnight dip in the pool, but once there turn the pool lights off to enjoy the magnificent sky. Only one Dipper at a time to the north; the Southern Cross rising over the ocean during the night.

Our wide patio catches an onshore breeze most of the day, and gives you a panoramic view of the Caribbean at your doorstep so wide you'll have to turn your head to take it all in.

All this while Miss Venesia and Miss Cedrena keep house for you, shop and prepare and serve all meals, and make it a very special vacation.

We had 4 adults and 3 kids, and it was our first time staying at Villa Hikaru. We would definitely stay again! The house is beautiful, clean, open and airy. It’s almost more of an outside house than an inside house. Almost every room opens to the outside. The pool is beautiful, and the grounds are well maintained and have gorgeous flowers blooming. We loved the tennis court too. There were rackets at the house, and we played most mornings. The beach is right in front of the house and offers shallow, clear water for great swimming. There are beautiful sunsets at the beach each night, and we enjoyed watching crabs scurrying around at dusk on the beach. The staff (Venesia and Elisha) were welcoming, helpful, and kind. They prepared amazing breakfasts and dinners. We opted for many jamaican meals for our dinners, but they were also extremely helpful when our pickier kids had special requests. Overall it was a fantastic house in a fantastic place.

Villa Hikaru is an amazing property in a stunning location. The staff - Venesia, Elisha, and Patrick - are warm, welcoming, and super helpful. As well as the beautifully appointed rooms, the lush gardens - home to many birds - offer many lovely nooks where you can sit or lie. Then there is the swimming pool, the tennis courts, the boule pitch, and easy access to a secluded beach. It’s bliss.

Spectacular Property and Staff, I’m going back!!!
From the pickup to the breakfast, to the dinner, deserts, pool, everyone was awesome at providing everything we needed. Food was exactly what we expected and privacy was par none as the beach front access is better than all other properties in the area. Get on a boat and ride the cost you won’t regret it.

Beautiful Property, Perfect Vacation!
Beautiful Property, Perfect Vacation!
Villa Hikaru is an amazing property! The villa is beautiful – open air, thoughtfully decorated, and well-kept. Most of the living area is outdoors with a living room and 4 bedrooms opening to the main outdoor living space. Two of the bedrooms have doors that open directly outside to this space. The other two bedrooms have a small connecting space with one door that opens to the outside. Meals were served at the large table in the outdoor space and the lounge chairs here were perfect for relaxing with a view of the ocean. The breeze kept this area comfortable even during the hottest afternoons. (While the mosquitos weren’t terrible, there were a few around and we were glad to have bug spray.) The staff was incredible. Vanesia and Elesha worked with us to set a Jamaican menu that our families would enjoy. The meals were excellent and really made the experience of staying at the Villa! We appreciated trying their specialties and enjoyed chatting with them about what they were making. We were truly spoiled by the food and service. Patrick does an excellent job of keeping up the property and assuring everything is in order. He shared his knowledge of the area and the plants on the property and helped the kids pick mangos and find coconuts to drink from. There are several areas great for enjoying views of the ocean and the gardens on the property. The pool gets some shade throughout the day and the shaded lounge area by the pool is nice to have. We loved being able to play tennis on the oceanfront tennis court, though anyone going to play should be aware that there is a slope to the court and the surface is rough. It’s a great amenity that we had a lot of fun with but would not be a good fit for anyone who takes their game too seriously. The beach is quiet and the water crystal clear. The shallow area just outside of the villa’s gates is somewhat protected and provides a calm place for kids to swim. Villa Hikaru is remote and far from the touristy areas. (The 2.5+ hour drive from Montego Bay is on rough, winding, and narrow roads.) This is absolutely part of the charm. This quiet fishing community is welcoming of visitors but it is not a community that was built for tourism. There are a very limited number of small shops, bars, and restaurants. We loved the fresh fish and lobster at Eggy’s, a very small spot on the beach. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. We could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful location!

Lovely property with gorgeous views
Lovely property with gorgeous views
Lovely property with gorgeous views. We had a great time at the Villa. Exactly as advertised. Keep in mind, this is not a house. It is actually a true villa with each bedroom facing the ocean with its own door with its own lock that opens to the outside. Make sure to grab one of the bedrooms, which is three of the four, that has its own outdoor shower. The food was very good, but we wish we sat the menu instead of taking their suggestions. If you order lobster, I strongly suggest that you either have it on the first night or ask them to go out and purchase of the day they are cooking it. We saw beautiful lobsters on our first day and they put them in the freezer, which totally ruined the lobster. It was really not edible and a shame. Just a note for the chef for the future. We cannot complain. The service was impeccable and they went out of their way to serve us beautiful fruits and different dishes every day. Make sure to bring plenty of US dollars as the local ATM only gives you Jamaican dollars. Don’t feel the need to bring any floats or tennis rackets as they have everything you need, including beach chairs. Thanks for a great trip

Amazing vacation at Villa Hikaru
Amazing vacation at Villa Hikaru
Our stay at Villa Hikaru was an experience we enjoyed very much. From the Treasure Island Driver meeting us at the Airport, to the welcoming committee of Rebecca, Vanessa, Elisha and Patrick. It was a very warm and friendly welcome as we were all tired, 10 of us, from our flight being 2 hours delayed leaving Philadelphia. Vanessa and Elisha had dinner waiting for us when we arrived, and it was delicious. Every meal was authentic Jamaican style and full of flavor. Just tell the ladies what meats you want and let them do the rest; you will enjoy it. We ventured out to the closest local Restaurant, 77 West, and it was actually a great option for lunch. Groceries are very expensive and outside of chicken, most meats were not readily available. It would be best to know what types of meat you would like well in advance of your arrival, thereby allowing the staff ample time to buy the items. Best bet - order as much of your foods and drinks you think you will want prior to your arrival. We found the rooms and the showers exactly how we imagined them, beautiful. Our only suggestion would be to invest in some mattress crates to provide a little more comfort. I found the mattress to be too “firm” for my liking (almost to the point of discomfort). The AC units were in good working conditions. Didn’t need them often but on some nights it did help us cool down a bit. We found the pool to be in excellent condition, well maintained and very refreshing all throughout the day. No need to take your water floats or pool toys; they have a chest full of just about anything you might want in the pool. Access to the beach was a great amenity; the only drawback was the public access to the beach was right alongside the property, so you will see and hear people as they are accessing the beach. The Villa is fully equipped with many amenities except there was not a TV in the Cottage. There is only one TV in the Villa, which was in the main room and that was great because we went there to unplug, unwind and enjoy quality family time; however, being that it is a separate space, a TV in the cottage would be nice. Take plenty of bug spray; mosquitos are treacherous there, especially during dusk. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend Villa Hikaru as a place to stay.

Need to Know!!!unconnected from civilization retreat
Need to Know!!!unconnected from civilization retreat
Hikaru’s house & grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff were kind and prepared excellent island unique foods for us that was in line with our dietary requests. Grounds keeper, Patrick made us feel safe and was always available. He was an educational source of local culture/plants and cut us fresh coconuts to drink the water. Negatives for us was we weren’t prepared For how remote and isolated it is. 2.5 hour drive from the closest airport and it is not cheap when you have to hire drivers to take you anywhere. Be prepared with lots of currency (US or Jamaican currency) we didn’t come across an excursion or store that took credit cards in Treasure Beach. Only 1 ATM & It runs out of money if you don’t get there early. We came to the conclusion that the hot water is heated by solar, so take a shower before the sun goes down . Only bedrooms have A/c & 1 indoor shower, The rest are outdoor showers which is fabulous ! Buy alcohol or other necessities before you leave main city. No one could get the TV to work but it wasn’t a big loss for us, we could watch Netflix on our computers at night. Tennis court unplayable, needs to be resurfaced and painted. As far as Treasure Beach, Shame on the government for not doing a better job of having their prisoners or offering a recycle system to get all of the plastic bottles & trash that are just thrown on the sides of the road, you can’t walk 2 feet and there’s trash anywhere outside of the property. Jamaica allows dogs & cats to be tied up or run wild. Some are pregnant & starving, which is disturbing to see. They need serious interventions to make the surrounding area pleasant for foreign vacationers. Overall I feel like the people are friendly, they just need help From their government & to make a community effort to clean up the massive unattractive, unsanitary litter! It’s as simple as using a trash bag and picking it up!! 😢� Owner and property manager are very professional and respond really quick to any questions!!
