Villa Maria montego Bay

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 if you use the driver during your stay. We can vouch for our driver for your excursions and tours. We can't do the same for other 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 start at $85 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!!!
​

My family and I had the BEST time at the Villa Maria. The staff was so attentive and kind. Chef Thomas cooked a delicious welcome dinner and consulted with us before we even arrived to find out our kids’ preferences! The butler, driver, and property manager are all such wonderful people. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed (transportation, groceries, excursions). My kids didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be back!

Had an excellent time at Villa Maria. Rowan is second to none. Marco is great. Mr Headly was awesome as a driver. You cant swim at the property…which we were well aware of, but, if you bring good watershoes, you can walk out past the reef and there is some excellent snorkelling out there!

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!!!

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!

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!

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.

Villa maria

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.

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!
