Great stay at the beach!
We shared this property with another family including young children for a full week and had a really nice time. Gizelle was super responsive in the lead up, answering all our questions and arranging our airport transportation; her son Jason followed up during our stay, and the staff at the house were friendly, warm but unobtrusive, and super accommodating. We enjoyed sampling delicious Jamaican dishes that Dell prepared for us. It was wonderful, especially with young kids, to be right on the beach and we also got tons of use out of the large pool.

Our overall stay was amazing! Chef Joe, OJ, Dell and the groundskeeper were all amazing and we can’t thank them enough for making our family vacation the best one yet! This was our first time staying in a rental in a different country and the consensus is we would all do it again!

Just as advertised
Sandpebbles was awesome ! The pics on the listing are completely accurate. House and pool are terrific and literally steps from beach ! The staff could not have been better and made the trip extra special. We traveled with 5 grandkids ages 7 to 1 and the staff could not have been nicer to our little ones . Lastly , we felt totally safe and secure . All and all could not have asked for anything better . Tony

Wonderful Spot
We had an absolutely lovely time at Sandpebbles. The house is very clean and right on an ideal bay. While the house was wonderful, the staff there was the real highlight. Dell is a phenomenal cook, asked us what we would like (we went local) and proceeded to make delicous meals. Jav, our Butler, is personable, made fabulous Boat Drinks included Pina Coladas & Daquiris. Gregory took care of the outside and made a really spectacular bonfire and Miriam kept everything spic and span. Our hosts, Jason and Gizelle both stopped by and Jason arranged trips to the Blue Hole, Bio Bay & Discovery Cove. He also arranged In House Massages---best we ever had. You will love a stay at Sandpebbles!

Great house
We enjoyed our stay at Sandpebbles! It was very hot but enjoyed the outdoor living space and pool and were very appreciative of the air conditioned bedrooms. Local fishing village was very interesting but thought the price of the food was very hefty. Enjoyed Chef Joes cooking.

Slice of paradise
Incredible villa vacation. The staff and house were both outstanding. Incredible homemade Jamaican meals every day, with a private pool and a beach literally right outside the door. This place had everything one could ask for in a beach vacation. Central location for all activities between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, on a private beach in a gated community. Already looking forward to returning.

Rest and Relaxation
My family and our dear friends enjoyed a much needed and very relaxing vacation at SandPebbles. Gizelle, Jason, and the rest of the staff were very warm and welcoming. We enjoyed good food in a beautiful setting. Most days were spent by the beach or in the pool. The excursions with Jason were fun and informative. A wonderful Jamaican experience!

Beautiful Home With Friendly Helpful Staff
This was my husbands dream of returning to Jamaica the home of his youth. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Dell made delicious Jamaican meals. Jason reomended and arranged travel adventures. We traveled with our adult son with autism and everyone was accommodating. We loved our trip and would not hesitate to recommend this rental to others traveling to beautiful Jamaica.

Milestone Birthday
My family and I celebrated my milestone birthday here and it could not have been more special. The property and site are as beautiful as pictured (if not more), but what really took the trip over the top was the warmth, dedication and friendliness of the staff. It was such a pleasure to be with Joe, Oliver, Lemana, Kemar and Davell and we are so grateful to Jason for all of his tips and assistance. We highly recommend this place and thank you again to everyone there.

A Beautiful, Serene Stay
We arrived in Jamaica a few days after Hurricane Beryl. Fortunately, the storm had minimal impact. Although the ocean view wasn't clear blue upon our arrival due to the heavy rain bringing murky water into the bay, it cleared up within a few days, revealing a picturesque landscape. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. Our butler, Sean, is truly an artist; he transforms the table setup into a unique piece of artwork before every meal. Each day brought a different, beautiful arrangement. He was also responsive to all our other day-to-day needs. Chef Dell was amazing, and her jerk pork was a fave among everyone, prompting us to enjoy it multiple times during our stay. She generously shared her recipe, allowing me to recreate it at home for my family. MariAnn ensured our room was tidy every morning, and Gregory, our groundskeeper, maintained the beauty of the surroundings, which we greatly appreciated. We also worked closely with Jason, who owns/manages the property with Gizelle. He was very helpful with suggesting excursions and planning/arranging them. One of our guests also experienced a minor health emergency, and Jason was incredibly helpful and generous with his time to help resolve it. The only “negative” that was experienced was the mosquitoes. We were prepared with Off, and we'd recommend having some with you for anyone who is staying there. It was an annoyance, but it would not stop us from staying here again.

Spring Break Success!
We had a great time at Sandpebbles! The house, pool, and beach are definitely amazing, but the staff is what makes this so special! You will not have to do anything while you are there but relax. Joe made us some of the best food I've eaten, while Oliver took care of the house, made drinks, checked on test, etc. Jason got us wonderful excursions books, and many more sweet people made this trip so wonderful! We all highly recommend Sandpebbles! Thank you Gizelle & Jason for sharing your home with us!

EXCELLENT VACATION!
We stayed at Sandpebbles property for nine nights, and we had a great time. The staff, Joe our cook, OJ our butler and Teresa our housekeeper, became our friends in no time at all. Jason hooked up our divers and had some Jet skis brought to us for a fair fee. Gizelle is a lovely lady ready to help out in any way. Looks like were going back next year. We will most likely rent their SeaEsta property next door and make it a nine couple's adventure. Thank you, Gizelle and Jason. See you next year!

This was by far the best vacation we have ever had. Nancy's cooking was fabulous. Andria also has the house immaculate. Chicken did the same for the property and built us a beautiful fire on the beach. Jerome always made sure we had everything we needed and more. He made us amazing drinks too! Jason was a wonderful host and recommended some great excursions. We will never go to an all inclusive again. This property was beyond our expectations. We will be returning next year!

A beautiful week!
A group of us (three couples) just spent a wonderful week at Sandpebbles. Gizelle answered all of our questions and was easy to work with. While the house and setting are wonderful, our team (Chef Joe, Oliver, Lamana and Kemar) made it a truly special and authentic experience! The house is set in Bengal Bay - a quiet gorgeous bay about midway between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. House and setting are wonderful. Standout was Chef Joe's amazing cooking! Every meal was truly extraordinary! We were given a wonderful taste of Jamaican food at every turn. All of us loved our stay with this warm and cordial team in this lovely place! Highly recommend!

Great beach getaway
Everyone was nice. Property was clean. Relatively secluded. No crowds. Only minor issue was the large boat in nearby dock. Only a visual issue for pictures, it did not really affect enjoyment of the property. Host was able to arrange transportation easily including multiple trips. Chef was great. He made a large variety of Jamaican delicacies. Proximity to river made river tubing convenient. We had a beach and pool all to ourselves for the entire stay. Great for kids. I would definitely do it again.
