Villa Maria montego Bay

Villa Maria: A True Jamaican Experience (one of few Beach front villas in Mobay).

Please note:

The US has issued a travel advisory for high-risk areas in Jamaica.

We are uniquely located on the back oceanside of the airport in close proximity to Sandals Montego Bay.
Our community is well patroled by police. It is considered to be one of the safer neighborhoods in Jamaica due to the fact that it is a one-way in and one- way out community.

We also have a private monitored security service with armed response. However, I can assure you it is not needed.

Our job is to keep you safe and make sure you have a great, memorable Jamaican vacation.

OPTIONAL FEE
$180 / Per day for pool heater.
Please note that you only pay this fee if you decide you want the pool heated


100% A/C

Massage and yoga are available right on our beach

Free local cell phone with credit.

Free airport pick-up. drop could also be included. We can vouch for our driver for your excursions and tours. We can't do the same for excursions and tours you book online.

Chef service is available

Get the top-notch feel of Villa Maria with our chef's menu option, which includes breakfast and dinner. The price range for both is $75 per person per night. Dinner can include up to five-course. With this option, the chef will prepare meals perfect for celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, or simply a hassle-free way to enjoy your vacation. Our chef is well versed and can accommodate food allergies as well as dietary restrictions, e.g., vegan or vegetarian cuisine. Menus will be listed soon.

Please read our reviews as they say it all.

The community:
Villa Maria is nestled in a fishing, fairly modest community full of kind, wonderful people. When described as "authentic," it is true. Know that you WILL see evidence of this as you approach as well as the energy of the village. Please don't be taken aback. Though not surrounded by other mansions or a fancy development, it is safe, charming, and so very full of love in all details. Maria Villa is Montego Bay community tourism destination - equipped with a community soccer. For the avid fishermen, this is the perfect spot for sport fishing and other Watersport activities. Here you can chill on island time, watching the sunset and the kids play, while just feel irie!!!
​

Third Time's A Charm
On our third visit to Villa Maria we took our adult kids and our grandkids ages 11 and 7. We all had a ball. We were met at the airport by Rowan who is like family now. The staff is amazing, property clean and safe and the ocean as blue as I remember. They kids didn't want to leave and we're asking when we could come back.

The property is beautiful, very clean and the staff are awesome! We wanted to brin Chevy, Shelly and Chef home with us! One love! My granddaughter wanted to stay forever. She made sand castles on the beach and lived in the pool. Marco kept the grounds very clean and the pool. The owner was so easy to communicate with and always responded to ALL my questions promptly. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you all for everything ♥️

Home away from home
This house is amazing and I will book again. Everything showed is as pictured. The service and food was amazing. Shelly was amazing and very kind and sweet. Chef bonefish has all of us spoiled with such great authentic Jamaica food The only thing we did not like was the fact that we felt that we didn't have complete privacy meaning that the owner/workers was there everyday most of the day until late afternoon. My opinion when you rent a house you see the owner/workers when you check in and maybe when you check out, unless you call because you have an issue. The property is treated more like an resort so you will see someone everyday.other than that we enjoyed our stay!

10 yr anniversary getaway w/ family
Have you ever been catfished by the pictures you see of a property? And when you get there it's not what you thought? That's definitely not the case here. Everything from the layout, the cleanliness, attention to detail, the staff, and of course the legendary Chef Fishbones was as advertised! The house is extremely spacious and accommodating. We didn't expect to have daily staff who were attentive to anything we needed. Safety was truly a priority and we had zero concerns or issues! We were so happy one of our family members is already looking into booking the property again. Thanks for a memorable anniversary! Respect!

We had the absolute best time and it was all because of The Villa Maria staff. They all go above and beyond to foresee and take care of your every need. It started with communication with Wayne- he was very responsive and recommended that we have Chef Fishbones prepare a meal for us on Saturday evening since our flight would not arrive in Jamaica until late in the afternoon. Chef contacted me with the menus to choose from but made it very clear that we could make changes if we so desired. Rowan is the Villa’s manager in Jamaica, he met us at the airport and gave us the grand tour once we arrived at the Villa. He made sure we had all of our questions answered and made us feel very welcome. Hedley was our driver and we took a tour of Montego Bay with him. He’s very knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions about his beautiful island home. Chevy is the friend you always had but just met- your butler. She had drinks in your hand before you had a chance to ask for it. She is so very happy to make you happy. Dwight had everything outside just perfect. Our housekeepers were amazing. Back to Chef Fishbones, he was so accommodating from the very star and it just continued. We reserved him every night for dinner and all but one day for breakfast. He is an absolute artist in the kitchen. I promise, you will not find better cuisine anywhere in Jamaica. Every meal was seasoned perfectly and served beautifully. We ate dinner several nights on the beach and it was lovely.

Gratitude Trip
This was our second trip to Villa Maria. It has been a rough year for our families so we invited our supportive Village on a mini vacation to rest and relax at Villa Maria. Villa Maria has made several upgrades since our last trip. They are listening to guests comments and suggestions. Book Chef Fishbones. He's more than amazing. Our friends were eating food they don't normally eat because it was so appetizing. Massages on the beach were amazing and our Butler made the most amazing poolside drinks. We will be back again!!!

We had a great time at villa maria. The property is beautiful and the staff, especially Shevy and chef Eddie, were wonderful. I highly recommend booking Eddie for at least a couple of meals. The only other meal we had that was as good as his was in negril. Some things did not work in the villa; the air conditioning in one of the bedrooms, the tv outside, and the coffee pot in the kitchen. We were a little disappointed that although it is on the beach the water was too shallow to swim in. We ended up going to Negril to finally enjoy the ocean. The villa is no where near the high end resorts. It’s close to the airport in a run down neighborhood. If that bothers you, I would suggest you book closer to Rose Hall in the high end district.

Amazing Holiday
Myself and 7 friends rented this amazing property to celebrate my 60 th birthday. The rooms are beautiful and everything is very secure and private. We spent most of the time outdoors, the setup is perfect. Plenty of loungers for everyone, the pool to cool off and the ocean breeze also helped. The large outdoor tv was perfect for music and they have a karaoke mic if you want to sing some songs, which we did..lol The staff was super helpful and accommodating. Rowan met us at the airport and took amazing care of us. He would just show up to make sure we were okay. If we went anywhere he would ensure we were looked after. Chevy the butler, what a gem!! She made us blender drinks and ensured we had everything we needed. The staff all pitched in decorated the beach for my Birthday dinner..they also made a fire on the beach it was a perfect birthday.Dwight the yard/pool man moved things around if we needed anything. Shelley and Sue kept our rooms clean The cook mr Fishbones, wow!!all I can say is wow!! He cooked for us several nights and all his meals were amazing. We went out to experience some authentic Jamaican food, but honestly Mr Fishbones food was always better. He was always accommodating to food sensitivity. This is a perfect spot and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place that can hold 8 -10 people

Very Secure & Safe Beachside Villa, near Airport
This property is very nice, staff is very attentive. If I had to complain it would be that this property deserves an upgrade on outdoor furnishings. The outdated furniture does nothing for this property. The AMBIANCE is simply amazing. You have everything you need at this house. The views of the ocean is very serene and relaxing and I like how its next to fisherman. Chef Fishbone is very good but I wish he would resolve to soul food of Jamaica in hindsight he has to appeal to the others that frequent more often than we do. If you give him a time, that is what time the food will be ready, no questions asked.

Beautiful Villa!!! We loved every minute of our stay.
We had such a great time at Villa Maria and will definitely be back. We stayed for 7 nights and celebrated Christmas there with family and friends. The staff was all amazing and the house beautiful. We felt very taken care of by all. Rowan was so responsive, Mel always there to help spoil us, pool boy I think Dominik was such a great guy and hard worker. Mr. Headley took us anywhere we wanted to go and was always on time. Fishbone was absolutely an amazing chef and it was so nice to have gourmet meals right in the house and not have to leave the beautiful environment to have a meal. Most meals were set up on the beach. I think we used him every night but 1 and breakfast daily. Thank you so much for an amazing Holiday for our family! Location of the Villa was great, it sat right on a small beach in the Community of White House. We walked through the Community several times to go on walks and go to the Beach down the road and felt very safe at all times. Dont hesitate to rent this Villa!!!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria. It was exactly like the pictures. The property was immaculate. The staff was awesome, friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

The only thing we would say is notify the guests before traveling about the cash needed to enjoy the island. We mostly had credit cards and weren't prepared for this aspect.

Absolutely Amazing!
We had a weeding to attend at Sandals Montego Bay and because of the prices there, I decided to try to find a place nearby so it would be more affordable for the entire family. When I originally booked the place a year+ ago, I admit that I was a bit nervous. Reviews seemed too good to be true and I was totally unfamiliar with the area. . Wow -- what an incredible property staffed with the best people you'll find that catered to our every need. Turns out to be a charming community full of friendly folks -- we even walked back from the wedding in total comfort. To Rowan, Chef Fishbones, Melissa, Shelly, Suzie, Jermaine and Mr. Headley: Thank you for allowing us to feel pretty darn special all week. Wayne, you have an amazing team and property.

Great property, staff, and food!
This villa is everything you could want in a vacation property. I had my bachelorette here for 3 nights/4 days. The house is better in person than pictures. It has spacious bedrooms, large bathrooms, and nice sized living spaces. We felt very safe; the bedroom doors are programmed with the guests fingerprints, main doors are practically bolted and there is video security as well. The best part about this trip was the pool, beach, and staff. The property is on the beach which made for a really nice dinner setting. The staff was awesome. Each of them courteous, patient, and very welcoming from the time we walked into the home. BOOK CHEF FISHBONES! We had him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every night. Each meal was on point and delicious. Don’t hesitate! Book your stay here!

Authentic Feel
We stayed from May 11th - May 17, 2022. When we pulled up to the village I was prepared on what to expect from reading previous reviews. The house is in a fisherman’s village and will give you a authentic vibe of Jamaica. Everyone enjoyed their stay. The hostess, the housekeepers, the butler and the chef are top notch. I also have to acknowledge Jermanine (the pool guy). He did a superb job at keeping the pool and the beach area clean. He also walked us to the local beach and waited for us until we were done. As we were walking, he gave us info about the village, the different fruit and info about the beach. He’s great! Ok now let’s talk about the chef. Chef Fishbone!! OMG! Words can’t explain. EVERYTHING he made was absolutely delicious! We used him everyday for lunch and dinner. You have to try him!!! He prepared fresh in season meals and he personality is great! His butler Melissa is the kindest most helpful person. She didn’t want us lifting a figure to do anything. She made us feel like we were part of the family! The housekeepers are also great. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and the tried to stay out of our way. This was a great experience and we will be back!
