Why book direct with Posh Paths?

You pay the stay and the taxes and nothing on top, you deal with Jannine from the first question to the last morning, and extras like airport transfers, a driver or a private chef are a message away. The same calendars run the Airbnb listings, so a date open here is open.

Are there minimum stays?

Mallard Mile asks for three nights; Likkle Lookout takes stays from one night. Both villas take long stays, and the Conroe house is set up for a working month with its office and internet.

How many people do the villas sleep?

Likkle Lookout sleeps four in two bedrooms: a king in the main bedroom and two singles in the second. Mallard Mile sleeps six in three bedrooms: a king, a queen and two singles, with two full bathrooms.

Mallard Mile has free driveway parking at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Likkle Lookout has a parking space in the Columbus Heights community; most guests use taxis and Jannine’s drivers rather than a hire car.

Which airport for Ocho Rios?

Ian Fleming International Airport at Boscobel is less than half an hour east of Columbus Heights and takes flights from Miami and the islands. Montego Bay’s Sangster International is the big airport, about an hour and three quarters west along the north coast highway. Jannine can connect you with her preferred drivers for either.

Which airport for Conroe?

Houston’s Bush Intercontinental (IAH) is about thirty-five minutes south down I-45. Hobby is about an hour. You will want a car in Conroe.

What can Jannine arrange?

In Jamaica: airport transfers, a driver for the day, a private chef, restaurant and excursion bookings. In Texas: catering for an offsite, restaurant recommendations and a crib or high chair for a family. Ask before you arrive and it will be ready.

Can we hold a team offsite at the lake house?

Yes. Mallard Mile’s open living and dining room seats a team at one table, the office takes calls, and the trail along the lake is the walking meeting room. Use the Retreats & Offsites page to tell us dates and headcount.

I own a unit in Ocho Rios. Can Posh Paths manage it?

Yes. Posh Paths is a full-service hosting management company for owners in Ocho Rios and Tower Isle: licensing and regulations, cleaning, maintenance, pricing and guests, with your place listed on the Columbus Heights Stays site. Start on the Work with us page.

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

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.
