A walk on the Beach, a one mile drive away, is an amazing way to start your day, then take a dip in the sea. Maybe get your dinner from one of the local fisherman, or go out fishing with them and catch your own!

My husband and I spent 7 days at the Windfalls Villa needing some time away to rest and recuperate from life in general… the property truly looks as presented in the photos. If you plan to see lots of things, you might want to rent a car, but if, like us, you are looking to relax, Mel can take you where you want to go when you want (just give him a head’s up) for a fee, which was very helpful since he knows his way around and can give you tips. The bedroom we used faced the ocean view, and was quite large… The AC in the room worked well, and the bed was comfortable. Our mornings were spent outside by the “bar area”, enjoying the sunrise and birdsong, drinking our morning coffee… My husband is a chef, and the kitchen had all the tools needed. When Mel picked us up at the airport, we went to a grocery store for provisions. Upon Mel’s recommendation, we purchased a water bottle from a neighbour of his, which did the trick for us… We enjoyed fresh mango from the property, and my husband had purchased some fresh fish off local fishermen (you can walk down to the main road, but it is steep in parts). The living room was comfortable and TV worked well. I unfortunately had to bring some work with me, but my “outdoor” office was lovely, and the WIFI was reliable (note the WIFI is concentrated around the house and bar-grill area; it drops as you walk to the pool). I used the pool most days. It is kept clean and is only mildly chlorinated. The outdoor property itself is kept clean by a groundsman. Mel, Dee and Marsha were very helpful in giving information, filling us in on the culture, and providing good conversation overall, making us feel at home. One gem not to miss: the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary. As a Canadian, the admission is not cheap ($25 US, with much of it goes toward preserving the sanctuary), but it was worth every penny… you have the opportunity to feed hummingbirds on your finger. And it is so peaceful and an unforgettable experience. Another tip: Do not wait until Duty-Free to purchase gifts, liquor, etc. We purchased a few bottles of Jamaican hot sauce in local stores in Montego Bay… $2 to $2.50 Canadian, but $5 American at Duty-Free for smaller bottles. Mel is in the process of improving the property, so I am sure it will be even better… for us it was just what we needed, and I never tired of the views or the birds. Thanks, Mel, for your hospitality. Truly a nice property.

We arrived winter weary and left Jamaica-ReVived! Our 7-day stay at Mel’s house was wonderful. We highly recommend Annika the chef and staff member Dee for her helpfulness. On the night of our arrival, Annika prepared a meal of coconut silver snapper, homestyle baked chicken, peas and rice and plantain which lasted us a few meals! An opportunity to taste Jamaica. This is a spacious home located just between Montego Bay and the small town of Hopewell. The house offers 3 large bedrooms with comfortable soft top beds and each with a bathroom which easily accommodated a multi-generational family of five. Lots of space inside and out and, outside eating and lounging area. The property has a wonderful vista of MoBay, many birds including a Caribbean Woodpecker, and beautiful plantings. It is quiet and secure. Mel was generous, polite and knowledgeable. He made himself available every day when we needed, offered us mangos from the property, and many great tips on places to visit - Rick’s Café was a hit with our teens. The pool is very clean and quite large - good for morning laps. We enjoyed Doctor’s Cave Swimming Club, with a small reef for snorkelling, a short drive from this property. Also a shout-out to Verona’s in Saint James Parish for their excellent jerk chicken and pork and all fresh ingredients hot sauce. We highly recommend this home and send out a warm thank you to Mel for making our stay so comfortable. Heather & Andre, Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada

WOW! Perfect place for a family vacation. My husband and two adult children spent 3 nights at lovely Windfall Villas. The view was spectacular and even better than what the pictures show. Our host, Mel is the perfect host. He is very knowledgeable, conscientious, generous and a delight to deal with. He met us at the airport and right away we asked if we could go to lunch. He didn't hesitate in the change in plans. He then helped us ensure we had the right provisions for our stay at the villa. Once arrived at Villa, we were greeted by housekeeper Anna who is also a delight. The spacious home with three bedrooms is very comfortable. All the bedrooms have excellent AC and we slept very comfortably. We spent all our time on the deck , enjoying the view. Our visit was for a family wedding with many activities ( reception dinner, etc.) and Mel was ALWAYS available for whatever logistical and transportation help we needed. I would recommend this site completely and am available if you have any questions. Looking forward to going back and enjoying more of the traditional MoBay tourist sites. We spent a lot of time at RoundHill which is only 5 minutes away as well as Wharf House. We enjoyed the Jamaican jerk chicken & pork from Jerkies recommended by Mel, too. Anna greeted us with breakfast every morning. I found out too late that Anna is known for her Jamaican delights like fried chicken and rice and peas. We now have a reason to return. I cannot stress enough what an amazing host Mel. He is ready at a moment's notice ....... my daughter worked at the Ritz Carlton in Miami 3 summers ago and it was that level of attention! Thank you, Mel and Anna, for such a great visit!

The house has a lovely view of the ocean and a great swimming pool. Mel is the host and he was great. He picked me up from the airport and even brought over extra flashlights one evening when a thunderstorm knocked out power to the area. He’s easy to work with and has a fast response time.

First, the photos do not adequately illustrate the spectacular amenities of this property. While my party of 4 was expecting an exceptional space, we had no idea what we were in store for. After a lengthy flight, we were greeted by a pleasant driver with whom catered to our every need. As one would expect, we had a bit of an appetite upon our arrival and our driver had no issue stopping along the way to showcase a Jamaican Takeout Favorite. After which, we arrived at this beautiful property situated on a massive amount of land overlooking the vast never-ending ocean with a 360 degree view of a well maintained and cultivated tropical landscape. The girls and I spent ample time enjoying authentic Jamaican libations and food at the outdoor patio / bar where we sat in awe of the extraordinary views. The property is plentiful, crisp, and very clean. The neighborhood is just as pleasing to the eye and we, four adult women, felt especially safe. Our host, Mel, ensured that we were comfortable and had absolutely no worries – he was quite the professional. Our chef, Monique, prepared excellent cuisines that could easily rival 5 star restaurants in the States. The girls and I have already begun planning our next trip to this amazing space as we now consider this our new home away from home. As an experienced world traveler, personally and professionally, this property is at the top of my recommendation list!!

The house has everything which it needs, the kitchen is very well equipped. Mel, the owner is very nice and helpful and offers super service on the whole line! Mel gave us good informations about everything you need to know and drived us to everywhere where we wanted. Everything is in the best way organized !. When our refrigerator did not function after a power failure, within a half hour we had a new one locally! I did not experience something like that yet times in a hotel... :-) Monique, which is a lady housekeeper likewise very nicely and therefore it procures that everything is beautifully tidy always in the house. The pool is clean an the view from the hills where the house is, is fantastic! Everything was clean and nice. We can recommend the house at any time further! We will also not forget Mel, he is really a very pleasant an cool guy! Go and check out this wonderful place! Greetings and best wishes from Sibylle and Steve

If you're worried about safety, if you don't want to have to rent a car and drive in the crazy Jamaican traffic, if you are looking for a piece of paradise? Any or all of these things and this is the place for you. Mel was great to get us to and from all of our activities (at an additional cost, similar to pay for a taxi) He also knew where we should and shouldn't go. We never once felt unsafe. Several people were surprised that I would dare take my kids to Jamaica because of the rumors of it not being a safe place. My husband lived there 20 years ago and he agreed that we would need to avoid certain areas but having someone who knew those places made us feel 100% safe the whole time. Monique was great too. The home is very clean and has all the amenities of home. We will definitely be returning!!

This place is wonderful! The view is terrific. A great place to relax and enjoy Jamaica. The host, Mel is very helpful, accommodating, and over the top in making sure you have a great vacation. Mel will drive you where you want to go for a modest fee and knows Jamaica and where to go. Be sure to hire Monique, the cook. She is terrific. Beds are very comfortable and the place is very safe. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Windfall Villas for your vacation, family time, romantic time, or just relaxing in a comfortable, beautiful location.

We had a wonderful time in Jamaica and at this villa, however it is always good if you know what you are getting for your money. It says transportation is included, which is to and from the ariport only. We were a party of 6 which would take two cars to come get us, but part of our group's flight was delayed so he came with one car to pick us up but charger them $30 a few hours later. I didnt think that was right! Mel will take you around and that is why he is there which is great, but we spent a lot of money to get places, because the place is more remote you can't walk to anything. And remember to ask how much it cost before you go too far, we had a few surprises. Mel is very nice and helpful and knows where the attractions are located. His car was comfortable and very clean! The view is beautiful and the kitchen was well stocked but the place is a little run down, running toilet, bedroom door didn't shut, not a lot of hot water and one of the beds was very hard. They had cleaning service which was nice and our over all trip was wonderful!

The previous reviews are all correct, the pictures do not do this Villa justice. I had some communication with Mel prior to the trip and he was always very quick to respond and help in any way he could. Upon arrival Mel was at the airport to greet us, we stopped at the grocery store on the way there to pick up some essentials, so we could relax the rest of the evening. I traveled there with my husband and two adult children. All of us had an amazing time and it was the perfect place to reconnect as a family. Mel was there 24/7 to answer any questions or take us anywhere at anytime. We booked his driving services to go to Ocho Rios and Negril as well as places like Doctors Cave Beach, restaurants and bars which are about 15 minutes away. He introduced us to the local restaurant to get delicious Jerk chicken and pork to take out. We also tried and enjoyed some coconut bread and Jamaican meat patties. Ane Marie, our housekeeper came in every day with a warm, happy smile to clean up and will cook authentic, delicious Jamaican meals at your request. Mel went above and beyond to make us feel safe, happy and comfortable-he is very well connected so anything you need, he knows someone. Mel also took some great family videos and photos of all of us and sent them to me within hours of the excursion (he's a pretty good photographer too). When we were "home", we spent most of our time in the pool or just sitting there taking in the stunning views. Mel thank you for a wonderful holiday, your entertaining stories, your wonderful smile and for making us feel safe the whole trip. We will keep in touch, and if we come to Jamaica again, we will be sure to call you and book your beautiful Villa again.
