looking for rustic on the beach, north side
 
Have been going to the same place in Falmouth for the past several years. It is a very very laid back places with patched together shacks and great people. Well the operator lost his lease on the property is gone, no more "My Time And Place".
Love JA and looking for something along those lines. Anyone have any knowledge of something I may interested in?

Thanks, Sanders

I am hearing great things about the Treasure Beach area. You might find what you're looking for there. Closer to Montego Bay, Negril offers a lot of what you're looking for, too. There are several small hotels both on the beach and on the cliffs ( West End) that are reasonably priced and very laid back.

Treasure Beach is pretty nice, but is south coast. In St. Elizabeth.
Jakes in Treasure Beach is really nice, though pricey and the beach area not all that great.

Have you considered The Caves or Country Country in Negril?

You could also consider Chillin villas at Old Fort Bay as well.

GoldenEye is pretty cool in Saint Ann/St. Mary (Ochie/OraCabessa).

Portland may also fit the bill, but it is a trip to get there!

Also look at Tensing Pen on the cliffs in Negril. And on the beach, Rondel Village, Coco La Palm, Whistling Bird. Good luck!

Tensing Pen is absolutely gorgeous, but it's very upscale. It's a LONG way from <<laid back places with patched together shacks>> It's more like a 5-star Swiss Family Robinson.
