Arrive to a house already ready.Arrive to a house already ready.

Met at arrivals and driven straight to the door, in our own vehicle rather than whoever a booking site sends. You know who is collecting you before you land.

• Norman Manley, Kingston

  About 30 min

  Across the causeway and home. The usual arrival, and short enough that a late landing does not cost you the evening.

• Sangster, Montego Bay

  About 3 hr

  The long run across the island. Worth booking if the fare was cheaper into Montego Bay — tell us and we will be there.

• We track the flight

  Send the number

  A delay does not leave you standing outside with your bags, and it does not cost you a no-show fee either.

• Late arrivals

  Any hour

  Arrival at eleven at night is a solved problem: lockbox code sent, air conditioning already on, someone at the airport waiting.

The same vehicle, hired for the length of your stay if you would rather drive yourself — captain's chairs in the back, air conditioning that works. Useful if you are planning Hellshire one day and the north coast the next, and cheaper than a taxi each time you want to move.

• 

  The Toyota Voxy

  Seven seats

  

  A people-carrier, not a taxi with the seats folded down. Seven seats, and a boot that still takes the bags with all of them up.

• 

  Automatic, and easy to drive

  Left-hand traffic

  

  Nothing to relearn beyond driving on the left, which takes about ten minutes and one roundabout.

• 

  A door that opens in a car park

  Sliding rear door

  

  Sliding rather than swinging, which matters at the supermarket with a week of shopping and a child in the back.

Send your grocery list ahead of arrival and we buy it, bring it, and put it away — bread in the kitchen, water and juice cold in the fridge — so the first evening is not spent finding a supermarket in an unfamiliar town.

• Essentials

  Day one

  Bottled water, juice, bread, eggs, milk, fruits, snacks, basic toiletries. Enough to make breakfast and get through the first day without going out.

• Jamaican Breakfast

  First morning

  Ackee, saltfish, bread, eggs, plantain, juice, coffee or tea, fruit. The proper first morning, cooked in your own kitchen.

• Family Starter

  Full house

  Water, juice, milk, bread, eggs, cereal, snacks, fruits, basic toiletries. Built for a full house rather than a couple.

• Or your own list

  Any list

  None of them quite right? Send what you actually eat and we will shop it, with the fee scaled to the size of the shop.

Each package carries a service fee for the shopping and stocking, quoted when you ask. The groceries themselves are charged at what they cost in the supermarket, and we confirm the total with you before anything is bought.

An anniversary, a birthday, a proposal, or a honeymoon first night. The room is dressed before you arrive, so it is already the moment rather than something you have to build after a flight.

• Balloon decor

  Your colours

  An arch over the bed, in the colours you ask for rather than whatever is left in the shop.

• Rose petal setup

  Bed and floor

  Petals laid out across the bed and through the room on the morning of your arrival.

• Candle lighting

  Lit for you

  Candles and lanterns placed and lit, with a message board if you are asking a question that evening.

Priced on what the setup needs — tell us the occasion and how far you want to take it, and we will quote before you pay.

A professional makeup artist comes to you, at the home, at the time you are actually getting ready — no taxi across the harbour with your dress in a bag, and no sitting in a salon while the evening starts without you.

• Birthdays and date nights

  Evening slots

  Done at the house an hour before you leave, so nothing is rushed and nothing is undone by the drive.

• Weddings and bridal events

  Party of any size

  The bride and whoever else needs doing, in one room, on the morning itself.

• Photoshoots

  On location

  Made up where you are shooting, whether that is the house, the beach or somewhere in Kingston.

• Parties and events

  Group bookings

  Several people through the chair before you go out, priced by the number of faces.

Book it when you book the stay — the artist works by appointment, and a Saturday evening goes early.
