Welcome to Neita's Nest ... A Jamaican Bed and Breakfast service in a private dwelling enjoyed for decades by families and friends as it lends to easy entertaining. The breathtaking view of the sunrise, the show-stopping ascent of the full moon, and the mist-wrapped mountains after rain can all be enjoyed from all three guest bedrooms, as well as from the wide verandah - a perfect breakfast nook. Our floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows make for indoor dining a no-less picturesque experience. Neita's Nest - in Bridgemount, Stony Hill The approach, a winding, uphill challenge and now favoured-path of the fittest exercise buffs, is one of the oldest roads in the parish of St. Andrew. Built by slaves some 300 years ago, it still meanders through the residential area of Bridgemount, long-since named for this little-remembered piece of history. Historic Bed and Breakfast. Situated on the property that once housed The Captain's Quarters for Fort Bridgemount, an 18th century mountain-top British Army post, this 1960's chalet-styled home, now Bed and Breakfast to the world, is perched with a commanding view of the mountains surrounding Kingston's Liguanea Plains. Bird Watcher's Paradise/ Artist's Haven. The cool hills surrounding this upper St. Andrew home nurture a year-round verdant view, with the lush, untamed hillsides providing the perfect hideaway for over twenty species of local and migrant birds. But who's counting? The sheer joy of being awakened to nature's harmony creates the perfect setting of sights and sounds to inspire the creators of les beaux arts, the writers of poignant poetry and the composers of melodious music. Facilities and Amenities. Breakfast, which is included in your room rate, consists of Fresh Tropical Fruit, Juice, Freshly-brewed Authentic Jamaican Coffee, Assorted Teas, a Cooked Meal, Breads & Spreads. Our other facilities included in your room rate are free wireless internet and free covered parking on property.

The B&B is comfortable and in a very safe spot. Michelle Neita is really friendly and accommodating. She will make sure you got all you need. She is also a great cook and her breakfasts are exceptional. We enjoyed a lot of conversations about Jamaica, its history and its culture. She also has a lot of contacts of people who can arrange tours and excursions if you are interested!

Visiting Neita's Nest was an absolute delight. The rooms were tastefully decorated and furnished. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery while eating breakfast and using authentic Jamaican products. Our host, Michelle, was amazing. She made us feel at home, and I felt sad when I had to go. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Dear Patrice D It is no secret that the view from our verandah of Jamaica's famous Blue Mountains is indeed special. It is, in fact, our signature value proposition and it is our pleasure to share it with our bed and breakfast guests and friends. The architect made every effort for the design of our home to let the outside in. All this inspires us to make our home comfortable and inviting and our garden, equally attractive. Such a divine space inspires joy and hospitality and we are thankful that you enjoyed your stay as much as we enjoyed hosting you both. Do come again. Michelle.

My husband and I experienced both comfort and relaxation while resting at Neita’s. We also had the pleasure of being served breakfast in an eclectic surrounding by an electric host. The service was impeccable and not to mention the patio where our breakfast was served. The patio seemed to have hugged the beautiful array of flowers, herbs and fruit trees that surrounded it. It also provided us with a grand view of the mountain side; bringing added peace and tranquility to our stay. Did i mention that some of the fruits from Neita’s patio/ garden was included in our breakfast. Everything from the host to the food to the rest was spectacular. We will definitely be visiting again.

Dear Tanya, We recognise the blessing we have in the unique location of our home and have always had family and friends over to share this wonderful space with us. Since opening our bed and breakfast service in 2009, the double blessing has been when guests, like you both, truly appreciate the awesomeness of the natural surroundings and find comfort and relaxation in our home. You did say that our website images depicting the greenery and mountain view were the reasons you chose Neita's Nest for your stay in Kingston. We knew then that you would not be disappointed. That you enjoyed your meals here and appreciated our service gives us even more joy, satisfaction and inspiration for continued excellence in service. Thank you for sharing your experience here for other travellers to know what's in store for them when they stay at Neita's Nest. We look forward to hosting you again. Sincerely, Michelle N.

This wonderful bed and breakfast is situated in the lush green hills outside Kingston. You can find fruit trees, flowers and even big and shady trees - one with a treehouse in its crown. The wonderful terrace is big and shady: you you can sit there and relax from a day maybe on famous Kingston Victoria Pier or at the National Heroes Park. The rooms are quite big; all of them are clean, cosy and quiet. We had a good queen/ king bed and a wonderful sleep there. Michelle, the lovelyl and cultivated owner and super hostess of this little paradies knows quite everything on the history of Jamaica, the Carribean and the Americas. Breakfasts are gorgeous - all of them at gourmet quality, served wirh mountain coffee, tea and juices. Try the fantastic, creative homemade yoghurts with nuts, serials, local bee honey and fruits. Certain meals for dinner on demand. The property is overall safe. Come soon to get an extraordinary experience on Jamaica, the Blue Mountains and Kingston in particular.

Michele is a fabulous hostess. I spent a couple of days in Kingston and had great conversations with her about Jamaican history (her father was a press officer to the PM) and she has the inside scoop on many historical events. The house is excellent, with a lovely view from the verandah. The standout aspect of the stay is the breakfast she makes - gourmet style and beautifully presented.

You were a fabulous guest, Sandeep, and the pleasure of your company was equally mine. The well-travelled guest that you are kept the conversations interesting, especially with the knowing that our fathers' paths probably crossed in the same halls. Thank you for your kind comments on our home and, particularly, of our newly curated Tropical Continental Breakfast menu. We find that it appeals to our guests from both sides of the Atlantic and we are delighted that it was a feast for your eyes and your soul. Continue to enjoy your travels until our paths cross again. Cheers, Michelle.

Basil S wrote a review Oct 2022
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Neita's Nest this summer. We enjoyed the spectacular view of the mountains, the cool non-AC ventilation and the gracious hospitality of proprietress Michelle Neita, whose tasteful attention to detail added a polish to the entire experience. The property, located above the city of Kingston and its suburb of Orange Grove is away-from-it all while remaining in easy reach. About two miles down the hill in Constant Spring, one finds a choice of supermarkets, pharmacies and various restaurants and two excellent wine bars. We had a rented car, but we could have managed fairly well without one as the property has a reliable taxi service on call Ms. Neita provided wonderful, imaginative breakfasts using fresh tropical fruit, other healthy ingredients and aromatic Blue Mountain coffee. Were I of the mind to do so, I could have taken advantage of the location to enjoy a healthy walk down and back up the sloping driveway, but being on vacation I thought better of it and opted instead to enjoy lazy lounging and relaxed conversation on the verandah. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed and very satisfied in our choice of accommodation for our visit.

Basil S, I could not have described our location and offering better that you have here!! We are delighted that you appreciated everything that we are and offer. What you have described here will, I am sure, help potential visitors to Kingston to make a decision to be our guest here at Neita's Nest. Your candid description brings a 3-dimentional, 360° wide-angled perspective to the photographs of our bed and breakfast location and service offering. More importantly, however, your review appeals to all the senses stirred during your homestay experience. We appreciate every detail you have mentioned here as future guests will know what they can expect of us. Thank you, again and again! It was our pleasure to have hosted you both. Michelle N.

I needed a place to help me reconnect to my own country while allowing me to recover from an exhausting few weeks. Neita's Nest was that place. Its location on a hill looking out on Poinciana trees in flower set the tone for calm nurturing relaxation. As a nature lover, I did not need to venture far to reap the benefits of being surrounded by lush flora and have the ability to see and hear birds and be delighted by butterflies. Fresh fruit, homemade yogurt and the obligatory ackee and saltfish meal made mornings welcome. My accommodations were spacious and suited my needs. Michelle was a gracious, helpful and generous hostess in all the ways I associate with Jamaica. This is my new at-home retreat.

Calming. Nuturing. Relaxing. Restorative. We are delighted that Neita's Nest was all this for you when you needed us most. Glad too that we had reopened just in time for your visit to Kingston, Jamaica. That we have scaled our operation to a manageable one booking at a time (for a maximum 5 persons), assures all the quiet space our guests need. We are happy that our homemade yogurt with your fruit was a welcome addition to your mornings as it is new to our meal offering - a Tropical Contental Breakfast. And, everyone's favorite breakfast nook is still the verandah with its vantage point for viewing the myriad of birds and butterflies that live in our natural surroundings. Do make it summer again to enjoy the vivid tangerine-colored crown of Poinciana blooms. But, if you can't make it between early June to late August, we are sure to have other colorful blooms and variegated foliage that you will surely enjoy. Thank you for your kind review. So heartwarming to know that AntyDotty1913 smiles. Cheers,

Was there for 3 days and really liked it. It’s of the traditional tourist circuit and that what makes it special. Up in the hills, it’s surrounded by beautiful nature and flowers. Michelle, the owner, was very helping in booking transportation for me. I recommend.

Dear Roam43765 Thank you for the kind review of your 3-night stay with us. Located in the suburban Kingston neighbourhood of Bridgemount, Stony Hill, our homestay bed and breakfast is certainly off the traditional tourist curcuit. While not for everyone, that is what our most discerning guests love about us. And, we are only a five-minute drive from shopping and restaurants. We are indeed happy you chose Neita's Nest for your stay in Jamaica and we will always remember you as our first guest as we reopened post-pandemic. Such a blessing! Cheers, Michelle.

Quite simply our stay at Neita’s Nest was brilliant, so good in fact that during a week’s trip we stayed twice on arrival and departure. Michelle is the consummate B n’ B owner - warm, friendly and a generous host - and she is reason enough to stay here. The hotel itself though is recommended, a charming simple and very clean hotel set in a beautiful location in the hills. Michelle is also a wonderful cook, and my overriding memory is the ackee and saltfish breakfast she cooked for us on our last day. She joined us for breakfast and it felt like family. 10/10, highly recommended.

I highly recommend everyone come here for a stay. I loved the big room, you get your own bathroom and the host is truly a gift. Every morning we had a new Jamaican style breakfast (fruits first, then the meal) and it was delicious. My favorite was the kalaloo quiche. So good!!!! The bed is very comfortable, room is cool and wifi is fast. You get to eat breakfast on the balcony and take in the breath taking view. Waking up to that every morning was a gift. Close enough to everything by taxi and the host will help you book tours. Everyone should be staying here. Forget the hotel.

Dear Chatele O. Thank you for making the time so soon after your departure to share the memories of your stay. Every detail pleases us because we do try to make the experience special for our guests. The beauty of the location is for us a divine gift of nature. Our job is to ensure that the service is right on par with the views, so we are delighted that you loved it all. Our appreciation to you for the kudos on the variety and tastes of our breakfasts. For readers of your review, our bed and breakfast is a homestay and has a regular kitchen. So, we put special effort in our menu planning, and shopping, to ensure that the single meal that we prepare each morning is pleasing to all. We ask ahead for dietary restrictions, and design a menu for the period of stay, which hopefully has no meals repeated. We have even managed to serve a different breakfast to guests staying 14 days! Our Callaloo Quiche is relatively new on our menu, is loved by all and gets the thumbs up from our French guests as well. Except for our signature breakfast, which we have named "Good Morning, Honey", (come, and we will tell you why) yours is a 2-Course meal, beginning with fresh fruit. While we have recognised that a homestay (traditional) bed and breakfast is not for everyone (some do prefer hotels), with a review like yours, Chatele O, we can look forward to back-to-back 100% occupancy. Ad, would love that!. Thanks and we look forward to hosting you again. Sincerely, Michelle.
