Picture this! Ten college friends living in different states in search of our annual vacation location and the only request was to find an island. After many conversations with other Villa providers... we lucked up and spoke to Sharon a representative at Villas by Linda Smith. What a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. She was able to make us comfortable with acquiring our villa and the accommodations they offer. We arrived to cocktails and greetings from the staff. The house was just as the pictures shown, a very well kept property. The staff was superb!!! Our Chef Christopher OMG, Our Butler Everton, never missed a beat, Our Housekeeper Sindy kept the home immaculate, and our clothes have never been soooo white by the hands of Our Laundress Marzell. Even the landscapers George and Theo cleaned the pool everyday... wow. We were never concerned with our safety because we had two watchmen, Craig and Johnson on site as well. So bottom line WOULD WE DO IT AGAIN? YES! WOULD WE USE THE SAME COMPANY? YES! WOULD WE RENT THE SAME VILLA ALONG WITH THE STAFF? YES! Icing on the cake: Our entire deposit was refunded within 24 hours of our check-out!!! wow. and Yes we have claim this Villa as OURS!

TEK TIME is Jamaican patois for advice that almost all of us need: Take time to slow down and take in all that’s good and beautiful around us. Living in a glamorous villa with a staff of five who pamper their guests without ever intruding makes it easy to heed that advice. From home-cooked meals, butler and maid service, and even a personal laundress … to a private pool, membership in a beach and tennis resort … to the blissfully quiet gated neighborhood where Tek Time sits, here is every incentive to slow it down for a week or more.
Distinctive at Tek Time is a heavenly silence punctuated only by songs of birds, laughter of staff and the occasional ping of a golf ball teeing off the from the 12th hole of Cinnamon Hill golf course. From the property’s tallest slope is a long green view down the 12th fairway of the excellent course. The Tek Time golf cart is complimentary. The unique location also provides direct access to cart paths for joggers.
Everyone’s favorite gathering place is the comfy verandah, steps from the pool, under a high ceiling and open to the lush green environ. Most meals are served here on the custom-made tree-trunk pedestal table topped with clear glass. Great food served by a great Chef! Move from table to sofas and be mesmerized by the multi-color light and water show that springs from the private pool.
Beds in Tek Time are extraordinarily comfortable. Sheets are 100% cotton. Air conditioners are quiet.
