Excellent stay

This property was lovely and within walking distance of supermarkets, shops, the jerk chicken stand, Ocho Rios Jerk, taxi stations - including route taxis were easy to get to (walk) and within a 15 minute drive from the Knutsford (Drax Hall). The cleaning person was easy to reach and personable (Shelly). The property was not waterview (it didn’t say it was) but access to the pool was so easy and access to the beach was easy as well - walk downstairs to the gate and enter. It was also very easy to work with the owner and we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Best stay ever

Upon check in we had a few issues however, our property manager Shelly was on top of it! It didn’t seem like an issue at all due to her professionalism and how quickly she resolved the issues, she didn’t just resolve them but improved upon them, she treated us like family. As a Jamaican traveling to Jamaica as a guest it’s one of the few stays we’ve had where we were treated like a true guest by a Jamaican. So I would say if we could give ten stars that what you would have. Thank you Shelly for an excellent, memorable vacation.

Nice location

The property manager was very nice and accomodating. I loved the location in close proximity to the shopping are we walked to do what we wanted to do. We rented a 2 bedroom but received a loft with 1 bedroom. The sheets on the beds in the loft were not clean. When we walked in the space I could smell stale bleach water as if the place was hurried wiped. The stairs on the walk to get to the space were never swept in the 4 days we were there. The same garbage we saw when we arrived were the same garbage we passed when we were leaving, 4 days later. The bedroom air conditioner never worked the 4 days we were there. We never received any cleaning or offer for cleaning for our entire stay. Our food was overtaken by ants on the countertop on our second day. We were charge one price and now I saw an increase in the cost on my credit card. This could have been a great stay if simple accomadations were in place.

Pros: Property was clean, well equip with necessities eg: pots Utensils ect. Host communicate well . Cons: Housekeeping did not replenish towels or take trash. No Television, couldn't watch the local news. It's best to bring a laptop, tablet or some device for entertainment inside the apartment, very boring without the television. Overall stay was good.

Perfect location

This property is in the heart of Ochi with so much within walking distance. The unit was equipped with everything I needed for my stay. Wifi worked good, bed was comfy, upstairs loft was an added bonus. Chenessa is an excellent host and Shelly the housekeeper was amazing also...she kept the place sparkling and smelling fresh.

This was the perfect villa for me and my little family! The owner communicated with me for months rescheduling due to the pandemic. Ms. Shelley was such a great help and everyone checked on us during our stay. The home is very clean, kitchen has all you need and bathroom is adorable. Thank you again for your hospitality. I will be back soon.

Small but nice and clean in a great location.

It was good for our 1 night stay. Location was great. Walking distance to restaurants & nice pool area on the premises. The apartment complex/premises itself is outdated and needs some tender, love, and care however, the apartment itself was very nice and looked just like the pictures. It was very small, especially the balcony but was clean with nice decor. The housekeeper Shelly was really nice and assisted us with directions. She was very helpful. Because we were only staying for 1 night, we didn't get a chance to meet her in person. Overall, it was a nice stay.

There is so many things that i thought wasbt ok but i will list the few that affect a next customer 1.The apartment is in the 3rd floor.. 2The kitchen and the bathroom is next to each other .. 3The loft which is the next room has no toilet for itself then if you are 6feet tall its a no go... 4...Its not stated that house keeping is every 4 days ...just available... 5. The toilet needs proper deep cleaning.. 6.The cooker needs changing ...works but bad condition 7...Overall i think if you are looking for a long stay with 4 people not ideal...

The entire space needs a complete renovation. Old rusty stove was scared to turn it on.All appliances need upgrading. Bathroom had worn out tiles, rust stained toilet and sink. Living area had wires hanging out of wall. Soace is dark and hloomy. Insufficient lighting throughout. Unable to even apply makeup in bathroom. One light bulb out. No CNN, MSNBC, NO cable. Space should be advertised as ONE bedroom and LOFT .Should not be placed on VRBO UNTIL FULL RENO IS DPNE. THEN IT WILL HE A COZY PLACE TO STAY.

GREAT location and property

Sand Castles is great. Ive always loved staying there. I will say that this unit could use a bit of upgrades. The pots and pans are in terrible shape and there was no serving wear other than a slotted spoon. No mixing bowls or platters. VERY limited silverware. It made it hard to cook in the room. The sheets on the twin beds in the loft were very thin and old with holes. The elastic was gone so they wouldnt even stay on the bed. Shelly, the property manager, was a sweetheart though...she was very responsive to our needs and requests. I wish the owner would put a few bucks into the place because I would LOVE to stay there again but for the nightly price I feel its a bit overpriced and shabby.

The location is great, the buildings are a little bit old and needs repair. The side I stayed on need cleaning attention. should be clean every day. The receptionist and the host needs to be on one accord. The Host is not really hosting and leaves the hosting up the housekeeper. The housekeeper may or maynot know the information of the renter. No one was there to meet or greet us..... the setup needs improvement and can be better.After making a call to the host, the housekeeper came (Shelly) she was pleasant and apologize for coming to settle us in after 8:00PM. If not for the call, she would not have showed up....Not Good......The front desk, PR needs a lot of improvement.

Good location / cleanliness was lacking

Location is 10/10 but inside was 2/10 reason number 1. No mesh so bugs were croling in easy. #2.Dishes were all rusted and not useful at all we had to go out and buy our own. #3 pictures of the place were different than what we ended up up in. Carpet in the livingroom is pointless full of sand like it's outside and no vacuum 😒 just a broom so it's worst if you try to do something to clean it up. Communication was good but place is not kept in good condition at all. You come in and it's too late if you booked for 2 weeks like us. Was very disappointed. If she would invest a bit in that place and not just look to collect I would have been back and would recommend . Not again !
