The property was clean and well kept. Mr Claude was easily accessible and responsive.

Our stay at Morning Glory was nothing short of amazing! We had originally booked the smaller villa however upon arrival, Claude had moved us to the larger villa as we were travelling with our two boys (13 and 15) and he thought it would be more spacious for us during our stay. He was extremely friendly and helpful in letting us know about the amenities in the area and recommending some restaurants in the vicinity for us to get authentic Jamaican meals and experience the atmosphere. We had Margaret cook for us two nights and let me tell you, it was some of the best meals we had while in Ocho. We had wished that we had asked her to cook for us more often during are stay. Highly recommend having her cook some authentic Jamaican meals as they are outstanding! The grounds keeper Joe was super friendly as well! He went out of his way to get our boys some fruits from the trees on the property and he does an amazing job keeping the grounds looking top notch. Everyone at Morning Glory was fantastic, will definitely be back again!

Six of us stayed at the two Morning Glory properties for one week and then 3 of us stayed on, in the smaller Sanora house, for four nights. It's a delightful place: simple with all the basics; spacious gorgeous grounds that Joe keeps meticulous; tidy and clean houses that Margaret amazingly maintains. Margaret will also cook bountiful and delicious meals at your request for a small fee. Both houses have large verandas to use for dining and relaxing. Plan on bringing in your own staples like coffee, sugar, spices, etc. Both Claude and Joe live on property, so you always have help when and if you need it. Claude has a list of drivers who can get you almost anywhere you need to go. Rohan was our favorite, driving us to the Ochi open air market and helping us pick our produce. He also drove us up to the Worthy Park Rum distillery about 45 minutes away (highly recommended). Morning Glory gave our group an opportunity to escape the US winter, be together, yet have tons of space to be alone when we needed it. Mornings (afternoons and eves) were indeed glorious here at Morning Glory.

Superb!
This is, by far, the best property I have ever experienced on VRBO, Air BnB or Mr BnB. The host is gracious, the property grounds beautiful, the location excellent, the cottage sparkling clean and well outfitted. I so much enjoyed my stay I will be touting it for years- and I hope to return. Thank you Claude!

Lovely place, lovely people
We had a lovely short stay and were well looked after by Margaret and Claude. The property is brilliantly located for trips to Dunn’s river falls and other activities and is a 2 minute walk from the beach club. The beach you have access to is great, especially in the early morning before any other people have arrived.

A wonderful, well appointed house in tranquil grounds just a few steps from the beach
Claude was a wonderful host who greeted us on our arrival. He lives on the same complex as the house so is very available if you need him. However we were fine and so never saw him as he was very discreet. Margret came to look after us every day apart from Sunday. She is delightful and very helpful. Her cooking is the best we came across - try her actée and salt fish - it is without parallel. The house is lovely with good air conditioning in the bedrooms and on a very attractive, well maintained site. The beach is across the small private road and is a beautiful beach with warm, shallow, turquoise sea and opportunities for snorkelling further out. We were extremely satisfied with our stay.

Our family of five fit quite nicely in the villa. The rooms were very clean and the staff on site is warm and friendly, but not bothersome. We even took advantage of the option to have Ms. Margaret cook an authentic Jamaican meal for us on our last night there. The beach is so close....just a two minute walk and it was wonderful. The only negative is that there were little tiny ants found in the kitchen area. So we had to be careful with our food, etc. Overall a great stay!

The Happiest Birthday Present!
I spent a lovely three weeks here for my birthday in January. The property location is perfect, less than five-minute walk to the beach in a safe, gated community. The staff kept the house and grounds in tip-top shape, especially Margaret and Boston. I'm already dreaming about a return visit at my earliest!

Excellent little place
We stayed at the Over the Moon villa this past November. It was a sweet place, very clean. Claude is a gracious host and Margret and Boston were the best. Margret did some cooking for us and it was excellent.

Wonderful Stay at the Morning Glory
This was one of the best vacations I've had in a long time. Claude and his wife were very kind and welcoming. Margaret the cook her food was amazing. She even baked me a birthday cake (red velvet)...it was delicious! Our driver was very helpful and always on time to take my friends and I around. I enjoyed staying in the villa, very quiet and peaceful area....oh and CLEAN! The activities and attractions are nearby definitely a plus. Everything was perfect, highly recommended. I will be back for sure!

Wonderful Vacation!
Our vacation consisted of Dad, Mom, Son, and Daughter. So you will get a short review from each.
(Daughter's review) I had a great time at morning glory it was a wonderful vacation. it was a wonderful environment with very friendly people and a very nice rental villa. Margret was AMAZING!!! Food was delicious and Margret was great. Margret cooked very good dinners and breakfast. The Burton's, the owners of the place where very generous and nice. There is a beach right down the road where everything is no problem man, its all good! Beautiful gardens and very spacious for running around room. I loved my stay at Morning Gory Villa, it was a great experience and I think who ever wants to stay at the villa would love it as much as I did.
(Son's review) The caretaker was wonderful. Margret took such amazing care of us with her delicious food and her hospitality. Boston, the groundskeeper, took amazing care of the garden. When you get to the villa you will see just how good the grounds look. The owners, Mr.and Mrs.Burton are lovely. On the night that they ate dinner with us, they were very nice and funny. They took very good care of us. The rooms are very tidy, the AC's work well and you wake up to birds chirping away. Overall I would give this villa a 10 out of 10. Thank's to the owners and staff, our stay in Jamaica was three times better because of you. Thank you very much for the stay.
(Mothers review) Our stay was incredible.The grounds are immaculate, as is the villa, the team is genuinely caring and go out of their way to make sure guests enjoy themselves. The owners were very, very nice as well! We will not only remember the beautiful beach and the environment, but also the wonderful people we met and the memories we made. Stay at Morning Glory!
(Dad's) What can I say that has not already been said about this lovely Villa, owners and staff. Well here it is. The other portion of our vacation, for us at least is the beach and water. Well, they are both fantastic. It is a short walk, less than a minute to Bamboo Blue beach. The best part of the beach are the people who work there. The boat captain/ snorkel expert, the life guards, the activities guy, the bartenders, the managers and the wait staff are all what make you stay memorable. In short we loved it!

Wonderful accommodations
Beautiful grounds. Spacious and clean accommodations. We enjoyed our stay at Morning Glory Villas (Sanora). AC worked well. Wifi was stronger on the upper level of the villa...otherwise roomy, spacious and just an overall gorgeous place to wake up to each morning. We will definitely be back!.

Glorious mornings at Morning Glory
We truly enjoyed our stay at Morning Glory. Owner and staff were most attentive, accommodating and helpful. The property is amazing, peaceful, and has beautiful immaculate grounds with a very short walk to an amazing beach. The house has a well equipped kitchen if you enjoy preparing your own meals...which we did. The house is well appointed with comfortable furniture and beautiful bedrooms and baths. We wish to thank Claude and Geraldine along with their amicable staff Boston and Margaret for a relaxing stay at Morning Glory. Our stay in Jamaica is twice the richer thanks to you. Well wishes to all.
