It was awesome, a beautiful view of the sea and pool, walking distance to restsurants, bars, convenience stores and super market. Large unit with very nice porch overlooking the sea. 100 yards up the road try Cespedes smoothie shop, it is great, say Hi to Shawna.

Beautiful condo, lovely view

Sarah‘s place is terrific! The condo itself was clean, nicely decorated, and had all the amenities. The cove that it is situated on is stunning. We brought our snorkeling gear and snorkeled every day and also used the kayaks and paddle board on site. The neighbors and staff at Sombra were all so friendly and fun to chat with. We did have some noisy neighbors across the cove staying at Crystal Cove however, they generally shut their music off by 10 PM. I would highly recommend Sarah’s condo. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

No AC in common area

We rented this in hopes to cook and hangout but it was impossible with the AC not working in the common area like the living room. Especially in the afternoon. Outside that, it was good and we really enjoyed Speaking with Alicia and she does an amazing job keeping the place clean!

Perfect beginning to a new year!

The pictures are fantastic but somehow still don’t do justice to the views and coziness of this condo. We stayed with our children ages 6 & 8 and everyone loved the time here. The proximity to the pool, the views from the balcony and master bedroom were perfect and there was the right amount of space for us to feel comfortable versus cramped as can often happen when traveling with kids. We loved every moment of our time here - nothing beats the sound of actual waves carrying you off to sleep each night. We arrived late due to travel delays so there was a slight delay reaching security to enter the property but it was also reassuring to know right away that the property was secure. There is a Sandals next door and music can be heard but we enjoyed it. It was not intrusive and began and ended at reasonable hours.Highly recommend contacting Dalton should you need transportation and Alicia if, for example, after a day at the beach you want to experience returning to a delicious meal already prepared for you. Two recommendations- some pantry items likely left behind from previous guests should be discarded and the addition of a hair dryer would be amazing.Loved this property, hope to return and highly recommend.

Lovely condo

The condo is lovely with easy ocean access. We had a couple issues that the owner was very responsive to and it was greatly appreciated. Beautiful home with great views, Couple things to be aware of - wifi doesn’t extend well into the second bedroom (booster would help) and more importantly, Sandals Ocho Rios resort is directly next door. Loud music, banging drums, microphoned DJ encouraging people to yell, cuss, play drinking games, starts at about 8:30am and doesn’t end until 10 pm. Every. Single. Day. It truly affected our ability to enjoy what was otherwise a lovely place. We intend to make a complaint with sandals.

Great Apt

The apt was as depicted in the description. The host was very responsive and the unit had everything we could have required for a beach weekend. Perfect towels, floats for the kids, plastic cups to take to the pool/beach! Fully stocked kitchen with pots to make meals. Could not have had a more perfect unit. The patois was so relaxing to gaze out at the sea.

PERFECTION!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Proximity and accessibility is second to none! The condo is designed impeccably and is as clean a whistle. Alicia was very nice! We truly didn’t want to leave but duty calls. But we will certainly be back and checking availability here first.

My month there was one of the best anywhere in I’ve rented nationally or internationally. Thoughtful and responsive owner a delight to work with. A truly bespoke experience.

Great Vacation

This was a very clean condo. It was very relaxing. Great to sit on the lanai in the morning for coffee. Actually nearly all meals were out there. There was ac in the bedrooms but we never had to use them. We opened windows and had a great cross breeze. Handy little kitchen with plenty of pots pans and utensils. Easy access to go snorkeling right at property. Everyone there including the security guards were very friendly and helpful. They advised us Sandals was right next door and you would sometimes hear their music. This was true but heard it more out the kitchen window. If you were on the lanai not as loud and quieted down by 9-9:30. It was only on two nights of the 6 we were there. We had a Jamaican lunch made by the housekeeper Alicia one day while there. Super neat lady, very nice and lunch was delicious. She made it clear she was available any time necessary if we needed anything. The owner, Sarah, was very helpful with the questions we had and set up a driver to pick up and drop off at airport. He was also available to help with any tours we took. This was a relaxing vacation which we were in desperate need of. I would definitely stay there again

Great 2 bedroom villa, Ocho Rios!

It is a very nicely appointed, spacious apartment, very comfortable with great view, & good Internet. It is in a gated community with security staff on site. The pool is well maintained and Sarah has ocean water activity equipment available for guests to use. Sarah was very attentive and made us feel right at home. We arrived late on a Sunday evening, Sarah made special arrangements for security personnel to greet us and make sure we found our apartment & parking, and they helped with luggage. We loved the place. We will be coming back and would definitely recommend it. It is perfect for 2 couples.
