Best vacation/anniversary trip we have ever had in 24 years. The villa was absolutely stunning. The pictures are beautiful, but don’t do the place justice. The staff was kind, courteous, fun, attentive, and great at their jobs. The food was top notch both in quality and presentation. Chef Ritchie made us the best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted for our anniversary. The owner Gizelle stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was good. That was a nice touch, it’s obvious she takes great pride in her beautiful property. The sound of the ocean while sitting by the beautiful pool having m coffee every day was the best. We will definitely book this VRBO again.

A group of 8 adults celebrating a bday stayed for 5 nights and we had an amazing experience. The first night we arrived we were greeted with a vodka infused drink and a cold towel which was awesome. The chef Richie made delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The butler Ricardo was also available to tend to us and never skipped a beat. All the staff were amazing from the driver to the housekeeping service. The villa has everything you need and the beach is literally steps away and the pool is fabulous. I would recommend this villa and would book it again, again and again.

We had an absolutely amazing stay in Bengal Beach at SeaEsta. Myself, and 4 girlfriends have come together to spend time together and celebrate our accomplishments. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed every single meal prepared by the chef. The staff was phenomenal not missing a beat on anything we required. The property was in the perfect location a distance away from most towns but we were prepared for it. Everything was great especially the staff!!! The host wasn’t very pleasant, her driver incorrectly labeled his board with our guests name on arrival and she was very rude about it because they had difficulties locating each other at the airport. She didn’t even gesture an apology once she realized it was their error. In the preliminary planning, she threatened to cancel our booking because I didn’t respond as quickly as she’d like. She also forcefully had us pay gratuity up front before our stay, which we never mind leaving gratuity but felt invasive. Overall PHENOMENAL stay, but the host wasn’t always pleasant.

This was our first trip to Jamaica and Gizelle and her staff made it one to remember! I have never had such a relaxing vacation. We were spoiled with incredible food and drinks. The excursions that were recommended were such fun. The house was perfect for our group. We loved the huge pool and greenspace for the kids to play in. The adults' favorite spot was hanging out on the daybed under the tree just along the waters edge. We will highly recommend SeaEsta to any of our friends or family who want to visit Jamaica and hope that we are able to go back again some day.

Without the wonderful staff and beautiful home and views we would of had disappointing trip. Our weather unexpectedly had brought us rain and clouds for most of our trip, but the staff and home with the water views made the difference. The home was easy for us all to connect and play games while watching the waves and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure we were well fed! Once the clouds cleared the pool, beach and yard allowed us to capture the rays in style!

This beautiful property and the friendly, attentive staff made our week perfect. Although we chose to venture out for a couple short activities, we could have easily spent all our time at this beautiful oasis. I’m grateful for the quiet, slow time with my family and the staff that allowed for rest and relaxation. My daughters loved the paddle boards, kayaks, sand toys, yard games, and crab hunting. The food and service were great.

This was a very special stay for our family. Property is updated, spacious, clean, open concept surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. The staff was welcoming, friendly and they not only attended to every need, but anticipated what our family liked. The pool was great for grandchildren and I never tired of the view of colorful Caribbean Sea. I don’t eat desserts however gained nine pounds in one week if that tells you anything about the cooking! Wonderful vacation home.

I have never bothered writing a review in the past, but this place was so great that I had no choice. The space, both outdoor and indoor was perfect. The food was excellent, with the chef ensuring our 3 gluten free and two pescatarians had their own fare for every meal. The staff were wonderful. Thanks to Travis, Kamar, Ritchie and Pauline for a great holiday. We will be back!

Could not have been a better stay. Richie (the chef) was incredible, every meal was perfection. Travis (butler) was attentive, friendly and so accommodating! Pauline (maid) was friendly and takes pride in her work. Kamar & Jason & Gizelle all contributed to the amazing hospitality that made the beautiful villa come to life with joy. We felt the love in our stay. Thank you! We will be back :)

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I could write a book on how fabulous our stay was but I will keep it short and to the point. The pics are very accurate. The home is beautiful, Chef Richie-AMAZING, Keymar-very polite when taking us to and from the airport/excursions, Karolyn-so sweet, she even sang to me on my birthday, Kerome-always on top of everything! The entire staff made the stay 10x better, Jason was very helpful also with going over thing to do and giving estimates. It is safe to say that we will be back, it was worth every penny!

We were two families with children for a total of 9. The house is fantastic with beautiful open air layout, which is nice for taking a break from the sun, but still feeling outside. Easy to find location (50min from airport) on a quiet bay that was great for swimming and paddleboarding. Comfortable bedding, nice open air showers in the two main bedroom, and modern TVs with Netflix/Disney+ which the kids greatly appreciated. In addition to two nice kayaks and three paddleboards, there were lots of pool toys, snorkel equipment, and nice beach towels. What made the experience truly special was the staff. Amazing ch

From the moment we arrived, we felt pampered. Ritchie made amazing Jamaican dishes that even the kids loved and Travis served us frozen drinks all day and daiquiris for the kids whenever they asked. It was a parents dream come true. The adults had fun, the teens had fun and even the kids needs were taken care of. Jason arranged so many excursions and every detail was attended to. The view blew us away and the service was absolutely incredible. The beach was beautiful and very private and we loved looking for sea glass and shells on the beach and kayaking around the bay. We plan to be back!

What can we say about our week long stay at this beautiful, special place. It was truly magical! For as beautiful as the pictures in the listing are, they do no justice to the place in real life. Just…wow! While the place is amazing and the backdrop of the beautiful island of Jamaica was ideal, this trip was made perfect because of the wonderful staff of SeaEsta. Travis met our every need, even ones we didn’t know we had…he was beyond thoughtful! Ritchie…all we can say is let him work his magic with little direction. Every single meal was AMAZING. Carolyn ensured our spaces were clean and beautiful and our family loved every moment in the van with Kemar. Thank you for giving our families this special memory.

The property is beautiful! The layout and view were reminiscent of stays in Hawaii. In addition to the pool and the beach steps away, there is enough space in the house for everyone to gather comfortably, and for everyone to find space to be alone. The hosts were communicative and helpful. And the on-site staff were superb - extremely competent, friendly, flexible and committed to making our stay memorable. Chef Ritchie provided 4-star meals that were also beautiful to look at; Karoum, our butler/mixologist was a treasure, assuring that all our needs were met, and managing the staff to maximum performance. Pauline kept everything pristine, and Kamal got us everywhere we needed to go, on-time, and with a minimum of fuss. While it was expensive, it was absolutely worth every dollar - we've already booked for next year!

The pictures do not do justice to this beautiful house, each room is amazing and the outdoor space is breathtaking. I stayed at this house with friends and family for my 40th birthday, and I am so happy I did. The staff was amazing and was able to execute everything I requested. From the massage ( which is the best I ever had) to the amazing food prepared by the chef for my birthday dinner. I was also able to have a bonfire on the beach, which was so beautiful.The home is breathtaking, and every little detail that went into building this house from the outdoor showers , to the pool reflects in its beauty. Giezelle stopped by to greet us, and made us feel at home. I can’t wait to return to this slice of heaven.

This was our first experience using VRBO and Gizelle made it all so easy for us! Gizelle’s property was recommended to us by a relative, and it was beyond our expectations. The property description and photo’s shown on the VRBO listing did not do the place justice. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gizelle’s team! Chef Richie, Butler Krome, Driver & Grounds keeper Kemar, and Maid Pauline were all so kind and caring. They made it their missions to make sure we were well taken care of and that we had the best time while staying in their care. Chef Richie spoiled us with his talents, especially my 50th birthday meal which was fresh lobster & mussels. Our first visit to Jamaica was amazing thanks to Gizelle and her team and we can’t wait to go back and see them all again!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this villa! Don't think, just book it! If I could rate beyond 5 stars I would! Communication with Gazelle and Jason was clear and concise! Chef Ritchie is amazing, one of the highlights of our trip was his spectacular meals - just let him take over in the kitchen and you will not be disappointed! Travis the butler made the best drinks and was very attentive to all of our needs! We LOVED Travis, he is such an asset to the staff! Caroline the housekeeper is the sweetest, she kept our rooms fresh and clean always with a smile on her face! Kemar does it all! We appreciated his safe driving and he kept the grounds looking like paradise! We had Gazelle book massages with the other Caroline, best hour of my life, totally worth doing and very reasonably priced! The villa was very spacious for our family, everything pictured looked even more amazing in person. Loved the open air concept. Pool was nicely maintained and you are just steps away from the beach! This was truly an amazing vacation, one of the top ones our family has been all thanks in part to the crew at SeaEsta, we left feeling like they were our Jamaican family! Can't wait to visit in the future!

Our entire experience at Sea Esta was defined by the fore-thought and intention at every step. The staff clearly takes pride in everything they do - from our greeting with cool towels and refreshments, the care and cleanliness of the property and amenities, and attention to every detail at each meal. The place settings were such beautiful touches with special consideration for the kids without us even mentioning. We highly recommend letting Chef Ritchie surprise you with his creative and absolutely mouth-watering dishes. He was able to please the palates of our whole crowd, which included pescatarians, kids and spice lovers. The property was breath-taking - an infinity pool of absolute perfect temperature with a shelf around the entire perimeter, rainforest showers in the double master rooms, being steps away from the beach shore, and multiple seating areas for our group of 10 to enjoy our time together comfortably and enjoy the views. We were also pleasantly surprised and enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, cornhole, and s’mores by the beach bonfire. All in all, this group knows how to cater to your needs and you won’t be disappointed whatever vacation you are looking for.
