A piece of Paradise
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.

Family SeaEsta!
Our family of 10 walked into a breathtaking villa with a view of the pool and bay, the day before Hurricane Beryl hit. Gizelle had excellent staff prepared, so we really didn’t have much of a problem. The whole property is amazing! Chef Ritchie was so incredible, my sister in-law wanted to take him home with us. We will definitely tell family and friends about the villa. Next time we will hopefully not go during a hurricane. Thanks so much for our experience.

What a special week!
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.

SeaEsta is simply the best!
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!

Beautiful views with a Modern Feel
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!

Memorable Christmas with family
To start off, the property is absolutely gorgeous. We were originally attracted to the property because of the pictures posted online, but what we saw when we arrived surpassed any expectations. The villa is beautifully located right on the water, very well designed with a modern Caribbean aesthetic. The grounds are meticulously maintained and immaculate. It is a perfect venue for hosting close family or friends, especially if you are looking for quiet time and relaxation. As amazing as the villa is, it was the staff that truly made the experience what it was. From arrival everyone was extremely profesional, welcoming and attentive. Chef Richie blew us away every day with a huge variety of Jamaican dishes (which was our stated preference prior to arrival). All meals tasted amazing and we were particularly delighted by his accommodation of gluten free options. Meals were really one of the highlights of our stay and easily surpassed anything you can get at resorts. Our advice would be to leave the meal planning to Chef Richie and let him surprise you each day. You won’t be disappointed! The rest of the staff (butler Travis, housekeeper Carolyne and groundsman Kemar) all did a fantastic job catering to our needs and keeping the property immaculate. To sum it up, we were looking for a property to host our family for Christmas and SeaEsta delivered well above expectations. We will cherish those memories for a long time and cannot wait to visit again.

Truly magical!
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 perfect spot
The villa itself is beautiful - a really gorgeous design and feels safe and secure. My husband and I got married in an elopement style wedding in the garden - with only 3 guests - our parents. It was stunning - beautiful flowers and the pool is great. But the staff are the real sweetener for this place - Ritchie the chef's food is out of this world! We asked for an all Jamaican cuisine and he delivered. Best lobster we have ever had. Kemar and Travis were especially amazing - they really pulled out all the stops for making the place look beautiful. This is a team that go above and beyond to make your stay the very best! Don't bother staying elsewhere - this is a total gem of a place!

Nothing short of Paradise
I’d give this stay 1 million stars if possible. Meeting Gizelle and her staff (Ritchie, Kenmar, Caroline & TRAVIS) was the portion of the trip that sent the ratings sky high. The property was first class. Clean. Quiet. Private. Staff was impeccable at all times. Dining was a treat each meal. Along with mealtimes being announced to us, each course was explained & presented professionally & very well done. Travis made sure we had drinks(specially made) and snacks, in addition to being there each meal. We were attended to whenever we needed anything. Caroline perfected the evening turn down service and assured the bedrooms were cool and clean. Jason presented all excursions and Kenmar took us there & made sure we felt safe everywhere. The beach was nice, a few rocks but shoes aren’t necessary. We took the paddle boards & kayaks out everyday. The location was beautiful and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. We will be back to this house. Hopefully nothing changes because it was beyond our expectations & perfect for our girls week away.

Incredible Place and Experience
This house was stunning! The pictures totally do not do it justice! On top of the beautiful property is the even more incredible people who work there! Chef Ritchie made our wish list come true and went above and beyond with every delicious meal. Everton, the butler, was always available to meet our every need. He made coffee first thing each morning, prepared milkshakes, smoothies, and pina coladas for the kids, and served the adults cocktails by the beach or pool. He set a beautiful table three meals a day. Anything we asked for, he and Ritchie made it happen. We miss them already! We felt like we were living a dream life. Carolyn, the housekeeper, was there to tidy, and make/turn down the beds each day. She ensured our towels and beach towels were fresh each morning! Her smile brightened our days too! The grounds keeper and driver, Kemar, was kind, charismatic and accommodating! He took us on two excursions in the 10 passenger van, Dunns River and the bioluminescent lagoon! Both experiences were ones for the record books. Our group that included 7 children under 11, could not have had a more enjoyable week! We will definitely return next year! Thank, Jason and Gizelle, for your hospitality! The owners were attentive and ensured our stay was top notch!

Vacation of a lifetime
SeaEsta Villa was amazing.Pictures here show the villa well, although it’s more beautiful in person.There were 10 of us (3 families).The 4 kids (10,12, 17,19)easily slept in the 2 queen beds, and we had an option to add an air mattress if needed.Plenty of room to be together or have alone time.The community is gated, and you can run or walk out the front on a paved road (a bit less than .5 mi. and more if you continue around the beach).Gizelle and Jason were patient & helpful with all questions before/during stay.Each person at the villa is a treasure.They are kind, friendly and do everything possible to be accommodating. If we wanted something, we just had to ask. We were prepared to arrange menus, but after our first meal, we decided to let Ritchie do his magic every day and make all decisions. He was a wonderful chef! He knew our allergies and spicy/non spicy preferences, and worked around those. Table settings were lovely and different at every meal.Meals were both inside and outside by the pool.The staff worked so hard all the time.July 4th was all red, white and blue.The last night anniversary lobster, steak trimmings and cake were amazing.Tried oxtail and goat-yum!Hired a reggae band,with Kerome’s help-the best!He took care of everything all the time meals, schedules,cocktails, mocktails…!Carolyn was a cleaning ninja, always quietly cleaning somewhere.Kemar made the property pristine daily,helped with kitchen and everything,& was the best,safest driver.Thank you all!💕

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

Fantastic vacation rental!
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!!!

Beautiful, Relaxing, Easy Stay
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.

Worth every penny!
Our stay here was amazing! It was quiet and peaceful and relaxing! We set up with Gizelle a pre order list especially with the beer we drank and they had it waiting for us. Kemar even stopped on the way to the house for us to get what we needed from the grocery store (small items more so for the kids snacks). Paulette kept our rooms nice and tidy each day. The food from Richie was nothing short of excellent. I HIGHLY recommend the curry goat. Even the kids devoured it! Dillon tended to our every need and even the kids. He was phenomenal. He even made the kids virgin daiquiris multiple times throughout the day. A couple things to note for your stay: -Kemar will provide round trip transportation to and from the airport. This is at an additional cost but wasn’t anything crazy. (About three hundred round trip for 10 people) -we went to discovery bay (about 5 minutes away by van) one day and the water was crystal clear. -we went horseback riding. The kids LOVED it. -we got massages from Caroline. This was probably the best massage I have ever gotten and the other girls in our group agreed as well! -NOTE: There is no washing machine. Make sure to pack enough clothes because the washing machine is in the maids quarters and not set up for guests to use. -our favorite meals were the curry goat, the shrimp omelets for breakfast, and the surf and turf. -the chef will go over meals and dietary restrictions once you get there or the following morning. -at the end of the trip, you will get the receipt for the grocery bill and can use Mastercard or visa to pay the bill -NOTE: the grocery bill does include a taxi charge to get the food and deliver it as well as napkins and a few other items we thought were included but overall didn’t make up a huge part of the bill. Just for reference, we ate breakfast lunch and dinner every day for 6 days (minus 2 lunches) and drink mixers and beer, our total bill came out to about twenty six hundred. Overall it was a perfect vacation and the staff 100% made it well worth the trip!!!

Amazing family getaway
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.

Exceeding Expectations! We Couldn't Imagine it Could Be Better!
We. stayed at SeaEsta a total of 7 nights celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary with our 3 children, their spouses and our 18 month old grandchild. This was our first time in Jamaica...40 year anniversaries only happen once so we knew we wanted a property with privacy and a gathering place with comfortable elegance and convenience. To a person, SeaEsta checked all boxes. Communication with Gizelle was prompt and courteous as she helped us through all our questions ensuring our stay would not only meet our expectations but exceed them as we celebrated our special event. They set up our anniversary dinner by the beach which was then followed by a beach bonfire. They were even gracious enough to build a departure eve bonfire as well. The staff of Dillon (butler), Ritchie (chef), Pauline (housekeeping) and Kemar (Grounds/Transportation) and host and hostess (Gizelle and her son Jason) provided a family atmosphere which we all enjoyed. It truly was a pleasure to be around them as they were warm, friendly and quite obvious that they enjoy their work. We knew that Dillon was creating special Caribbean cocktails every time we heard the blender...his hospitality training was quite evident when serving cocktails or food. Speaking of which, Chef Ritchie was fabulous. We shared with him that he must be touched by God. His creations were great as we were served full breakfasts, wonderful afternoon snacks and 5 Star/4 course dinners each night. His take on local Jamaican cuisine was delicious and even worked in ensuring that if any of the dishes were seafood he would create a dish made with chicken so that those who did not enjoy seafood would not be left out. The appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts were all 5 star as it was quite evident he had extensive culinary training. Coupled with Dillon's elegance in serving dinner, we all agreed that the dining experience, including the setting by the sea is a memory that will last a lifetime. The layout of the villa is perfect for families as it has a wonderful open gathering area, wonderful salt water pool and just steps from the beach. The pictures are accurate but doesn't do it all the justice it deserves as you must experience it to truly appreciate it. Jason helped us with arranging excursions with the Luminescent Bay, Martha Brae River Rafting as well as coordinating jet ski rental. There were much more options available but we just couldn't bring ourselves to leave the villa!
