So Relaxing
Publié le 23 nov. 2023 sur HomeAwayIf you’re looking for privacy and relaxation away from the tourist crowds this is a great place to consider. Nicely located close to Ocho and other tourist attractions but it has its own private entry into the ocean.

This property had an excellent view for pictures only. There's no beach to swim in. I had to pay $500 each to swim at a public beach and was told not to carry even the baby 18mts water bottle or pay $1000.00 . Not one TV to see the news and no AC. One bedroom is in the kitchen and that was hell even with a standing fan and a overhead fan. The last night my daughter saw a huge cockroach by the suitcase and tried to kill it but it went away. During the night with the light from her phone she saw it on her pillow. Not a tiny roach. That's very upsetting. Thank goodness the kids were asleep and didn't see it.

Awe-Inspiring Views
Publié le 5 janv. 2022 sur HomeAwayGlory Be is a very nice place, it reminded me of the cottage I summered on in Nantucket as a kid, where the view outweighs the fact the place is out dated and a little too run down.
The owner Ronnie is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, he makes you feel as if you are staying with a good family friend or uncle.
His dog Sunny was the highlight of the trip for our 10 year old daughter. Sunny greeted her almost every morning at breakfast and she wagged her tail goodnight as we locked up for the evenings, normally Sunny slept on our porch glider. My wife is allergic to dogs and cats but as the dog never comes into the house it isn’t a problem.
The TV was broken, but the Wi-Fi worked well so it was not needed, minus the first night, but I figured it out, it was just a loose telephone connection into the router.
Ronnie connected us with a shuttle driver/tour guide Mr. Dean, who was great, he picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. He also gave us a tour of the real Jamaican island, but Mr. Dean is moving off island, so future guests may not have the opportunity to use his very professional services.
My family spent a lot of afternoons by the pool or down by the ocean, the ocean was a little to rough for my daughter and wife, but I managed to get in. Reef shoes are a must as the whole ocean floor is reef in front of Glory Be.
Glory Be is a unique accommodation, at times it feels like you’re camping, it allows you a safe place to just relax and not feel like a tourist.

Awesome location! Beautiful sea views
Publié le 15 déc. 2021 sur HomeAwayGlory Be is located in a wonderful location, close to local beaches and restaurants. It is off the beaten path, which is exactly what we were looking for. It is secluded, with amazing sea views. There is a ladder for sea access for snorkeling, although the sea was a little rough when we were there and we were unable to enjoy the snorkeling. The host offered contact information for both local drivers, and restaurants that would deliver to the property. Close by there is a local private beach for five dollars a person that was beautiful and secluded. Beyoncé pool was perfect, and had plenty of shade. You can tell Glory Be used to be even more amazing and with Covid shutdowns the property could use new beach chairs and a quick outside power washing. The host could not have been more helpful, both Ronald and Stephen were gems and extremely helpful. I spend a lot of time in Jamaica and this property is one of the best I’ve stayed in. Absolutely loved it! Will be back as soon as we can be. Thanks again for the awesome stay!!

Wonderful Trip, do not miss this one!!!
Publié le 6 avr. 2021 sur HomeAwayWe had a lovely stay on this exquisite property, it is listed as a self catering ecolodge but do not be fooled, read all the legitimately ecstatic 5 star reviews - this is a rare opportunity to stay as a guest in a a beautiful private home. We stayed in the huge artist studio listed, with ocean views and access for swimming and snorkeling on one side (a marine sanctuary) and a pool on the other. The artist studio sleeps 4, with a king size bed in the main kitchen/living room area, sounds awkward but the room is huge and it works, and 2 twin beds in a large bedroom. There are several cottages on the property that may also be available for larger groups if you enquire. We were greeted and well cared for by our gracious generous host Ronnie Schleifer, his gardener Winston who was always available if we needed anything (coconut water from the coconut trees is a must), Annette the housekeeper who comes in a couple times a week (on site laundry also if needed!), Dean our driver to the airport and back (who arranged for pre flight Covid testing and tours) and Dellie's local restaurant for our food deliveries! Completely spoiled!!!
The Wifi is excellent for remote working, but highly recommend doing nothing.
We will be back next year!! Thanks for everything!

Perfect in every way!
Publié le 6 janv. 2019 sur HomeAwayThis is a most charming property with such hospitable hosts and a picture perfect location! You are so close to all the action in Ocho Rios and surrounding areas and there is so much to see and explore. You get a real Jamaican feel, total peace and tranquility right along side convenience comfort and perfection!

This was a wonderful family from Canada.They did a lot of research of the attractions and things they wanted to see and do that are near by.
The Artist Cottage at Glory Be, Tower Isle Jamaica is perfect for families of 4. The snorkeling is good and there is lovely tropical vegetation. The owners are glad to give garden tours to see how bananas, pineapple, ackee,noni,moringa and garlic vine grow, as well as many tropical flowers.
It is a great place to rest and relax after seeing the attractions.

Idyllic haven
Publié le 30 déc. 2018 sur HomeAwayIf you want to experience the beauty of Jamaica without the commercialism or amusement-park veneer, GloryBe is the place for you. I just returned with my husband from a 5-night stay at the Artist Cottage. Our stay could not have been more relaxing or beautiful. Although it is located close to major attractions on the north coast, we felt far removed from the hustle and bustle. The sound of the ocean waves and assorted wildlife were hypnotic. The cottage is cozy and unique with its own patio, deck, garden, hammock, access to a pool and more -- a wonderful base for exploring the island or retreating from city life. The hosts -- Ron and Karen -- went out of their way to add personal touches (leaving home-made limeade and a snack in our refrigerator to installing a hand-made bench to view the sunset) and assist us in planning activities. There is an excellent beach and restaurant within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The week absolutely flew by.

Do nothing but Relax!!
Publié le 6 févr. 2018 sur HomeAwayWe stayed at Gory Be for an entire month, so I can speak for it's pure goodness. Rain or Shine, it is a beautiful place. The Artist's Cottage was "home" for the month, with the ocean on one side of our cottage and the pool on the other. The cottage's covered back deck is surrounded by lush vegetation, with the ocean as it's backdrop.
We walked a few blocks to the small grocery store, and grabbed a bite to eat at an outdoor local dive. Glory Be is 5-10min away from Ocho Rios and our taxi driver was only a phone call away to take us there. Bamboo Beach is a short walk away, if you want the full service beach.
Our older kids joined us and brought in the New Year with us. They stayed in the other two cottages on the property & loved them. It is a very good set up overall. You will wake up and go to sleep with the sound of the ocean's waves, and enjoy the sound of the little frogs called Peepers at night, as well as the abundance of birds and butterflies.
We planned this month away as a time to "Reset our Busy Meter", find the "Off" button, and do as much of NOTHING as we possibly could. It was great!!
Room Tip: The Artist Cottage is the best location on the property. The Sunspots and Calypso are 2 other cottages that can be rented.

It is wonderful to have guests at Glory Be who appreciate the beauty and tranquility as much as we do. The colors of the sea and sky change daily.

Beauty and tranquility
Publié le 28 sept. 2017 sur HomeAwayWe loved staying in the Studio with its rustic charm and interesting history. Karen and Ronnie have all the info on that and it's a vacation inandof itself listening to their stories about their Jamaica. We loved the pool and their beach area and even snorkled right by the property but didn't see a lot of fish as Hurrican Irma had played havoc with the sea 2 weeks earlier. Still very lovely just to be out there. Plan your transportation to and fro carefully as getting to Ocho is not very expensive, getting back on the other hand can cost about 20.00. Karen has a lot of info on drivers and where to go, so not to worry, after all you are in Jamaica! Thanks Karen and Ronnie! Can't wait to return to your heaven on earth.

It is great to have such nice guests who appreciate Glory Be. We wish we had had more time to get to know them. They only were here for 5 nights. People should remember that on your vacation they spend 2 days traveling. We will be delighted when they return and plan to spend more time
