Two villas, two coasts, one host

Posh Paths is Jannine Mahone’s pair of villas: Likkle Lookout, a two-bedroom townhome on the hill above Ocho Rios Bay in Jamaica, and Mallard Mile, a three-bedroom lake house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Conroe, Texas. Both are hers, both are booked directly with her, and both come with the kind of help a good host gives: drivers in Jamaica, a chef on request, restaurant picks, and a reply when you write.

Likkle Lookout

Jamaica · sleeps 4

Likkle Lookout

A three-level townhome in the gated Columbus Heights community, poised in the cool hills above Ocho Rios Bay. Two bedrooms (a king, and two singles), two and a half baths, air-conditioned living, a full kitchen, a rooftop deck and a lattice gazebo with the whole bay below it. The community pool is down the path, security is on the gate around the clock, and the shops, restaurants and beach are a short walk down the hill.

Mallard Mile

A single-storey brick home at the end of a cul-de-sac in Conroe, with the neighbourhood lake curving behind it and a walking trail along the bank. Three bedrooms and two baths, a kitchen stocked down to the seasonings, a proper office with high-speed internet, and a patio under the oak where the ducks and geese come to see who has arrived. Lake Conroe is fifteen minutes west; The Woodlands twenty minutes south.

From your host

Hello from Jannine

Posh Paths is the two places I most like to share. The townhome in Ocho Rios is where I take visiting family and friends: the gazebo at sunset, jerk at Scotchies while you watch it cook over the coals, the drive up to the Blue Hole. The lake house in Conroe is where my American friends, the ones who call to ask if I am cooking Jamaican today, come to slow down, walk the trail and feed the ducks.

Book directly with me and you deal with me from the first question to the last morning. If you want a driver from the airport, a chef for a birthday dinner or a table booked for the night you land, say so and I will arrange it.

Where we are

The north coast of Jamaica and the piney woods of Texas

Likkle Lookout sits in Columbus Heights, on the hill above Ocho Rios in St. Ann, less than half an hour from Ian Fleming International Airport. Mallard Mile is in Conroe, forty miles north of Houston, thirty-five minutes from Bush Intercontinental.

Getting to Ocho Rios: Ian Fleming or Montego Bay?

By Jannine Mahone · November 4, 2026

Guests ask this more than anything else, so here it is in one place.

Ian Fleming International (OCJ)

The small airport at Boscobel, less than half an hour east of Columbus Heights along the coast through Tower Isle. It takes scheduled flights from Miami and from the islands, and private and charter flights. If you can route through it, do: you are at the gate before a Montego Bay arrival has cleared immigration. Taxis wait outside the terminal, and Posh Paths' drivers meet arrivals when you book a transfer.

Sangster International (MBJ)

Montego Bay is the big airport, with the direct flights from most of the United States, Canada and Europe. From there it is about an hour and three quarters east on the North Coast Highway, past Falmouth, Discovery Bay and Runaway Bay, with the sea on your left most of the way. Book a transfer before you land: the fare is fixed, the driver knows the hill, and you are not bargaining in the arrivals hall after a long flight. Shared shuttles run the same road and are cheaper if you are travelling light and in no hurry.

Kingston (KIN)

About two hours south over the mountains on the A3 through Fern Gully, the road under the tree-fern canopy that drops you into Ocho Rios. Worth it if Kingston is where your flight lands or if you want to see the Blue Mountains on the way.

The hill

Columbus Heights is on a winding hill above the town. With luggage or groceries, take a car; we recommend local transport over walking it with bags, and route taxis wait at the bottom of the hill in town for the trip back up. Once you are in, everything in Ocho Rios is a short walk down.

What to book

Tell Posh Paths your flight when you book the stay and we will arrange the transfer from either airport with a driver we trust. If you want a car for the week, the rental counters are at both airports, but most guests find a driver for the day cheaper and easier for the falls, the Blue Hole and the coast.
