Seawind on the Bay Studio
Very nice and well prepared for new guest.

The Palm - Studio Apartment
This is such a wonderful place to stay - would recommend to anyone visiting Montego Bay. Rohan’s place is lovely, it’s so clean and he’s taken really great care over small touches like make up towels, toothbrushes, beach towels etc. It’s really great location as well; you can walk to hip strip in 2 minutes and there are markets, supermarkets and amazing beaches and restaurants all within 5-10 minutes walking. Great value for money - thank you Rohan!

Luxury In Paradise: Pool, Jacuzzi, Gated, 3rd Flr
Host provided accurate/proactive instructions. Nice secure entrance to the facility. Clean building. Everyone seemed friendly. We had a rental and found it easy to get to and from the area. Inside the place was just as photos described! Immaculate, well furnished and home warming. Significant other found the adjustable, massaging bed a great plus. We will definitely rebook.

2BR Townhouse with staff, gym, pool & beach access
Sophia was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout my entire stay, always providing clear and timely information. I was greeted warmly upon arrival by Petrina the house chef and received some helpful tips and suggestions for enjoying my stay. The home was everything I expected. I will recommend this home to my friends and family. I definitely will be booking again.Thank you much Sophia !

Udacha
Great stay at Konstyantyn & Nadia’s, everything was as described. Just a short walk to harmony beach and lots of different food options. The view from the balcony was amazing and the kitchen had all the necessary equipment to make quick breakfast and go. Plus there is a pool with a gorgeous view if you don’t feel like walking to the beach. I would 100% recommend it. Best bang for your buck.

Hospitality Expert NSF: Private Pool, Beach, Chef
5 star service all the way around

Meelie's paradise Villa
10/10 definitely recommend and would stay here again. The place was nice and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The pool view was great and peaceful . The home was 10 mins from the strip so that was convenient. I would say we did have to get a ride everywhere we went , nothing was a close enough walking distance . But it wasn’t a far drive maybe 5 mins to get to the closest store . The home was clean and well put together. Camille was very attentive, if I had any questions she was quick to answer . Great place overall.

MONTEGO BAY JAMAICA NO 1 VACATION RENTAL VILLA
Place was very clean and quiet, I was looking a place where I can stay for a night after visit sites all Day. I only stayed for one night, but I would still recommend this place and I would definitely come back if I am visiting Jamaica again.

Palma Verde Jamaica
This Airbnb was great!! Beres, groundskeeper, was excellent. Ian was in constant contact with us to ensure everything was OK from the moment we got in country. The kindness and hospitality shown from the people managing the property is a great reflection of the property owners and everyone involved. Thank you...

Chaudhry Holiday House Montego Bay
very comfortable place, swimming pool is very relaxing.Had a wonderful time with the kids and family. Place is 15 min away from stores and restaurants walking distance.

East of Eden Villas
Jason and Neva were so patient and accommodating. Neva especially made our stay that much better, she was proactive with helping us with everything, from the start to the end of our vacation. We had a huge living room to watch movies, play games and enjoy the pool with family. The view is breathtaking which sealed the deal, as it’s nested in a peaceful community. I’d definitely return, Jason was so accommodative when we had to leave later than usual, as some of my family were too drunk to drive (that shows how much fun we had), he made sure we were sober and safe to leave. Was an amazing and peaceful stay, can’t wait for the next trip! 🎉❤️🎉

Windfall Villas.. FREE pickup & drop off
Awesome view, great space, and Mel was really accommodating! Great place to relax.

Anna's Joye Seawind - Montego Bay
Petronia’s place was exactly what I ordered. I wanted this visit to be very calm, peaceful and quiet so that I can relax and reset. It was perfect for just that! The beach is very much walkable and its view is amazing. Would recommend bringing snacks if you plan to stay at the beach long. Also recommend going grocery shopping to cook food unless you plan to catch taxis into town to eat everyday. There’s a restaurant next door that’s great but menu is rather pricey and not much other walkable food options. Petronia is extremely responsive and accommodating. The pool on the property is great! Especially for a night swim! Security and groundskeepers are all super friendly !

Palmyra Resort - Blue Sky Hideaway
This has been my second time staying with her. Very good host. She makes you feel at home the minute you get there, the place has everything you need as if you were at home. 100% recommended if you want a home from home!

Montego Bay Apartment in the Tourist Hot Spot
i wanted a place that felt like home and this place definitely was i had everything i needed without asking the host for nothing if you're looking for a place close to the hip strip i recommend this place just walking distance to some of the best place literally. The host is the best i had a delay and the host give me a extended time up until 3pm

PleasantView
I'm usually an all-inclusive person but decided for my 60th I would go with an Airbnb & found Raheem's place & it was the best decision I could have made. Pleasant View (perfect name) was EVERYTHING!!!! The photos do it no justice. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed by the staff (Paula, Murine & Hector). We spent most or our days on the patio or in the pool/hot tub soaking in the exhilarating view of the Caribbean Sea. The rooms are sizable each with it's own bathroom which was great for my party. The land is vast and well kept with lots of fruit trees which you should partake in some. Murine prepared a few meals for us which were delicious and she didn't mind us cooking our breakfast some days. Paula was always available for our transportation needs and even had a few suggestions. Although staff was around, we were not bothered unless we requested. You will have no regrets booking Pleasant View!!!!

Idle Time On The Bay Relaxing beautiful serene
Absolutely loved Patricia's Air B N B. Spotless, clean, warm interior space. Great amenities, kitchen had what we needed to make a few meals. Great water pressure and hot water. My husband, son and I stayed nearly a week and we would have liked to stay an entire month. Patricia was very quick to respond, helpful in every way. Freeport is always one of my favorite neighborhoods to stay in MoBay, 24 hour security, quiet and always feel safe. The condo unit overlooks the pool, short walk across the property to view the beautiful bay with sitting areas to watch boats coming in and out. Beach is across the street. Patricia can support you with taxi drivers and bus tours etc. but I like to have a car to get around. There is a yacht club next door serving meals and drinks with a beautiful view. The Boat House Grill is a unique experience about a mile away. If you are confident driving I would recommend renting a car. Overall I would 100% book again at this beautiful property with Patricia!

Sabal at One Palmyra your own personal retreat
Beautiful and spacious property! I would definitely stay here again! I would recommend purchasing the all inclusive plan as everything from meals to club events are a separate charge if you aren’t on the all inclusive plan. We weren’t sure what we could or could not participate in. Overall, this stay was a 10/10! Furniture was super comfortable and the views were amazing! I hope to return soon!

LionHideVilla GD: salt water pool&ocean view roof
it's always a great stay at LionHide! Mr Omar (the grounds keeper) is AMAZING and super helpful. The villa is super clean and has everything you need for your stay. The roof patio is a great place to hang out and watch the sunrise or sunset- Views are beautiful! yiu get yhe mountains and the ocean in one view!! The pool area is emaculate and has everything you need. I've always felt extremely safe staying here. The dogs that live on the grounds are super friendly. Considering I'm a repeat visitor I would highly reccomend LionHide 100%.

Jus' Beachy Luxury Apt in a B/front Gated Cmnty.
From our arrival to departure we throughly enjoyed our stay at Serene's beautiful and most suitable apartment. The gated complex is located 10 minutes from the airport by car and well maintained and quiet. The area includes high end hotels and gated complexes. No Police in sight just nice, peaceful and safe. The facilities are excellent including the infinity pool overlooking the marina. Now the beach is a short stroll away and as residents you're allowed to enjoy the quiet, private, secluded, crystal clear, warm water, white sandy beach. No sellers, a friendly security guard a few meters away. The beach gently slopes into the amazing sea and it's quite frankly a piece of paradise. The apartment, well where do I start. You never quite know what to expect, but the photos don't do it justice. It's lovely, a home from home. Comfortable with every listing in excellent condition and working order. Its special, we loved it, you will too. Book it if it's available you will not regret it.

Your guide to Montego Bay
All About Montego Bay
Montego Bay, the second-largest city in Jamaica, is divided into downtown Montego Bay, a colorful, bustling neighborhood surrounding Sam Sharpe Square, and the tourist strip of Gloucester Avenue, which is lined with souvenir shops, restaurants, and reggae bars. Each area has a distinct personality, allowing you to experience two sides of this lively city. Aside from city attractions, you can enjoy horseback riding on the beach, rafting along the tranquil Martha Brae River, and taking a day trip to Dunn’s River Falls, which cascades nearly 600 feet over limestone terraces before reaching the Caribbean Sea. Montego Bay is also rich in history: you can visit centuries-old buildings, including Greenwood Great House, which was once the home of a famous English poet.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Montego Bay
Thanks to the warm Caribbean climate, Montego Bay is a great place to visit all year round. While the summers can be hot and humid, this is a great time to hang out at the beach. On August 1 — Emancipation Day in Jamaica — Montego Bay hosts Jerk Fest, with live reggae music, all-ages entertainment, and the chance to feast on everything jerked: chicken, pork, shrimp, and lobster.
The rain begins to pick up in the fall, but usually lasts less than an hour a day, leaving you plenty of time for fun in the sun. In November, the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival showcases the country’s leading jazz and blues musicians. During the winter, the rain lessens and the temperatures drop, giving you the perfect weather to enjoy outdoor activities. If you want to avoid the crowds, spring may be the best time to visit, as the weather is pleasant and the summer high season has yet to kick in.
Top things to do in Montego Bay
Doctor’s Cave Beach
The cave that gave this beach its name was destroyed in a hurricane 90 years ago. Today, Doctor’s Cave Beach is a beautiful stretch of powder-white sand and aquamarine water right in the middle of Montego Bay, off Gloucester Avenue. In the 1920s, a British doctor took a dip in the warm turquoise water and declared it had restored him to good health, curing him of any ailments. Test it out for yourself by going for a swim.
Luminous Lagoon
Located 45 minutes from Montego Bay, this lagoon is home to millions of tiny bioluminescent organisms that, when disturbed by boats or swimmers, begin to glow. Take a kayak or boat trip along the lagoon after the sun has gone down, and perhaps even jump into the water to truly appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon. This event is best seen on overcast nights or when there is not a full moon, so you’ll need to check the calendar.
Martha Brae River Rafting
One of the best ways to explore the beautiful waterways of Jamaica is through river rafting. Rafting along the gentle blue-green Martha Brae River lets you immerse yourself in the island’s lush jungles. Trips start from the Rafters’ Village, where you can take a dip in the pool or have lunch in the picnic area, and slowly meander through the rainforest down the river on traditional bamboo floats.
