About this villa rental

Situated on the breathtaking North Coast, Sapphire Reef Villa is surrounded by a protected reef noted for its variety of sea life and beautiful corals. The villa overlooks the reef to provide 180 degrees of beautiful panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea with splashes of sapphire and turquoise. Cool off by taking a dip in the crystal-clear pool then have a cold drink in the gazebo. The villa is fully serviced with a cook, housekeeper and groundsman. The location is ideal as we are near some of Jamaica's best-known attractions, such as Dunns River Falls, Blue Hole, Blue Mountain hiking or biking, golfing, ATV, Mystic Mountain, Swimming with Dolphins, the list goes on. The villa is on the main road which provides easy access to all local attractions, cultural events and shopping.
We have WIFI, cable TV, DVD's and board games.
Guests have exclusive use of the property, pool and grounds, the number of bedrooms serviced is based on number booked. The villa is a great escape for families, friend get togethers, honeymooners or even better for 2nd honeymooners.
On the sea, the trees and garden provide complete privacy for our guests to enjoy the pool, the sun and night sky. Evening swimming in your private pool under the stars, amazing.
There is jetty/pier at sea level for snorkeling, swimming or just lying on a chaise lounge with a cool drink.
The water off the jetty depending on the tide is about 2-3 feet, and suitable for children and adults new to snorkeling. Beautiful colorful fish are observed right at the jetty. The reef is protected; the coral and fish are diverse and abundant. Snorkeling is fantastic!! Kayak rentals are nearby, as well as scuba diving rentals, excursions.

Our stay was great. I loved the staff. If it wasn’t for the staff I wouldn’t return. We made some long lasting friendships. They are the sweetest & will go above & beyond to help.Pros: the staff - fabulous. The pool & patio amazing. We spent most of our time there. If you are coming to Jamaica to relax this is the place for you. You will be treated like royalty. We ate fresh fish & lobster right from a fisherman from beach next door. It was delicious. My son loved the jerk chicken. It was so nice to be taken care of from the staff. Cons: it was about a 30 minute drive to go anywhere. The mileage looks close to town but the traffic is crazy. If you plan on being active & go to lots of places (shopping, beaches, Dunn, Falls, mystic etc) it takes time & money to pay a driver. They recommend Bunny for a driver & he is great. The host was kind but had many requests. We were told how much to tip the staff. I always thought tipping depends on service. Staff kept turning off the air and then after much conversation I think the host watches numbers daily about the air. If you like to use air this is not the place for you. The ocean breeze is amazing but my husband likes air during the hot days. We felt guilty using air. The hot water is sparse. This was ok for me because I take quick showers. Needs updating especially microwaveIf you are a vegetarian no fish not many options. Canned Ackee, greens & veggies is it. Overall excellent for relaxing and staff 10 plus stars

My wife and I came down in February with another couple and had an absolutely incredible stay here. The pictures don’t do this place justice, it’s beautiful and the location is perfect. But the real highlight of our stay was the staff… Latoya, Kayson and Garfield were the absolute best!! Took us about 20 minutes to become best friends with them. And the food was just amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough - it’s like living in your own private boutique hotel. We’ve been to Jamaica several times previously, and usually stay at resorts, which is great, but once you’ve stayed here you’ll never do a resort again. This is the true Jamaican experience and it’s really something quite special. 10/10 no notes…

This location and the staff are everything. The snorkeling is less than 100 steps away and STUNNING! Not a sea urchin in site! We loved being able to snorkel every day so easily. Latoya, Isis and Garfield were so friendly and accommodating. Be prepared to do stairs, this is a multi-level home (it’s on a cliff, so that makes sense). The property is very secure and has solar (which I love!). The only complaints were water pressure, little hot water, and beds/linens could use updating. Everything else was incredible and I would definitely recommend this home to friends!

Our 1.5 wk stay at Sapphire Reef was fantastic. The house & amenities are exactly as described & pictured on VRBO.Having 4 BRs, each with a bath, was perfect for 2 families (4 adults/3 teens). The kids loved the pool & outside family room with JBL Bluetooth system & bath #5. The staff is what makes this villa amazing. The chef Mark spent hours on each meal. Day1 we created menus for each day & Mark shopped & cooked daily breakfast & dinners. The local Jamaican dishes were fantastic. Mark also made the kids special breakfasts. Latoya took care of the house & Garfield the pool & grounds. Our driver Bunny was great. There is no need for a car. Bunny makes it easy.As divers, we spent a lot of time snorkeling. The protected marine sanctuary directly out back is full of fish, corals & inverts, starting at their pier & extending out to the reef break that keeps this water calm. We rented kayaks/SUPs & Marley Beach (aka: East Beach Club) is very close with an easy walk or paddle for VBall, lunch, drinks or R&R. Scuba diving was surprisingly good. Communication was easy & the doc was helpful. Host provides a list of THEIR drivers with WhatsApp #'s. We used Turner to/from airport & 'Bunny' for all daily trips. We arrived 3 wks after the hurricane, which largely spared this beautiful property. Solar system provided backup comfort with the island’s grid & internet in & out. This house is clean & well kept by the staff. We highly recommend this villa.
