The property is impeccable - clean, well thought-out and maintained. Sarah was extremely responsive and all of the property attendants were wonderful and extremely friendly and helpful. We loved our stay.
Sarahâs 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 Sarahâs condo. We couldnât have asked for a better vacation.
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!
The pictures are fantastic but somehow still donât 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.
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 doesnât 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 doesnât 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.
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 didnât want to leave but duty calls. But we will certainly be back and checking availability here first.
Outstanding location and views are gorgeous- on 2nd floor overlooking pool and Caribbean Sea.
Glorious apartment, beautifully furnished and fastidiously maintained. Breathtaking views of property, pool and Caribbean Sea from master bedroom, living room, and expansive wplovely furnished 2nd floor terrace. Entire property modernized with large, well stocked kitchen to prepare meals and host gatherings. Both bedrooms privateâ with modern en-suite Bathrooms with Roman baths . My month there was one of the best anywhere in Iâve rented nationally or internationally. Thoughtful and responsive owner a delight to work with. A truly bespoke experience.
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
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.
My husband and I both Jamaican. We both enjoy adventure, traveling, good food and memorable experiences with our friends and family. Sea La Vie is our home away from the hustle and bustle of Kingston. We enjoy hosting and showcasing our beautiful property and country
This property is spacious, exquisitely decorated with comfortable furniture and has mesmerizing views of the ocean. The community of Sombra is one of the most sought after communities in Ocho Rios with lush landscaping, a deck for easy sea access, incredible snorkeling and breathtaking sunsets
Experience unique Jamaican hospitality and have our housekeeper and cook Alicia make you feel at home and prepare authentic Jamaican dishes. Enjoy a boat ride with Captain Lipton in the morning and have him show you the sites of Ocho Rios by sea. Sombra is located in designated marine sanctuary so enjoy some of the best snorkeling the Caribbean has to offer
