Dates
- 1 Jun 2026 to 31 Aug 2026 (16 sitters have applied for these dates)
About this assignment
A single male (because home is under construction and operated like a man den with workers and contractors). Must be independent, self sufficient and responsible (ideally 40-60 years old range approximately). Someone who will stay in touch with us and help keep the home clean. The date range is for a year. We are flexible on the dates but ideally we need at least a 3 month stay. This is not a paying position. We offer accommodations and food. If you meet these criteria, we will treat you well and you will have friends for life.
What responsibilities are required of the house sitter
House is under construction in the final stages. Requirement is to be present and open up house in the morning, lock it up at night, and keep house clean. If you are able/willing to do some other tasks like painting then we will be able to provide some money for additional help.
What are the good features of the property and location
Peaceful village lifestyle right on the ocean in Jamaica, just outside Negril. You will be immersed in the local community which is all family. An opportunity to create a bond of friendship for life in this very unique and pristine area of Jamaica.
What does the house sitter need to consider before applying for this assignment
While there are small individually run shops close by, the market and grocery stores, etc are a 15 minute drive to either Negril or Sav La Mar. We don't have a car at the house so we use family to drive house sitters for errands. As a quiet village community, if you are looking for nightlife or excitement, this is definitely not the place. The upside is that you are right on the ocean in a four story home with wrap around decks on every level and magnificent views. You are a 10 minute walk from Blue Hole, a family run boutique resort. One beach is 500 meters away, the other beach is 1500 meters away. Or, you can walk right out the back of the house and jump in the ocean off the coral.
Can I bring my own pets?
No, sorry.

Testimonials
Westmoreland, Jamaica Experience
I was fortunate enough to spend five weeks experiencing the "Real" Jamaica at the mansion in Westmoreland Jamaica only a few weeks after power was restored post Hurricane Mellisa and home owners could not have been more communicative and accommodating via emails and WhatsApp. As a guest of theirs you will become part of the community and have an opportunity to meet new people and experience the island outside of the tourist spots and actually live like a local. Unless going into town (Negril or Sav) which requires a minimum of a motorbike taxi and a cab ride, buying snacks and necessities is done at small little roadside shops where you'll need to use Jamaican cash (JMD) but a few will exchange USD for you if needed. It's not a place with nightlife but rather has the vibe of a small village. But you'll wake to an Ocean view at one end of the property and lush mountain vistas at the other.... Oh, and bring plenty of sun screen :-)
