The property is beautiful, just idyllic! The staff is beyond outstanding. A wonderful three generation family vacation.

Home lookee just like pics. We just had alot of unexpected expenses given to us.

This home provided us with the most exquisite vacation experience we have ever had. Having traveled to Jamaica on numerous occasions over the years, I can confidently say that Elsewhere by the Sea has secured the top spot as my absolute favorite destination. The staff's exceptional service, combined with the ideal location, created a truly unforgettable experience.

Elsewhere met our needs and exceeded our expectations. We planned an intimate gathering with only family for our 25th wedding anniversary. Elsewhere provided the perfect backdrop and location. The staff was phenomenal in providing top notch service. Don't worry about packing a lot of clothes because Deloris does laundry everyday. Being waited on and foot by Kemoy and Rafic really sealed the deal and made me remember that I was truly on vacation. Kassandra's culinary skills are exemplary and unmatched. We relied on her to plan our meals - we were not disappointed. In fact, there was a few times when we had leftovers. Elsewhere provided us with a most magnificent time which I will never ever forget. I am not sure that a resort could provide this level of private, customized or sophisticated service.

It is hard to review this property because it is hard to know where to begin. The first thing I will mention is the pictures do not truly reflect the beauty of this home. It is exceptionally beautiful and extremely cozy. The staff was exceptionally kind and very attentive. The food was out of this world delicious. Ms. Cassandra's pepper pot soup is to die for! My sister who do not like the taste of lobster ate it all and cleaned her plate!! Everytime we go out to eat now everyone states ... that was not Ms. Cassandra with a sad face. 😁 But for me personally, Kemoy the butler is an angel. He was extremely kind and attentive to our differently abled son. He taught him how to snorkel and gave him every opportunity to enjoy the activities we all loved. He is truly a wonderful human being. Connie, thank you so very much for being responsive and making the check in process easy. We are all planning on going back!!

Unreal is best way to describe Elsewhere. Staff, food, attention to detail was outstanding. Most relaxing vacation ever

We were exceptionally blessed to have the opportunity to stay at Elsewhere by the Sea. Our experience was second to none. From the arrival and meals, to the essence of the property and location; we could not have asked for more. We want to especially thank Kassandra, Delores, Kemoya, and Rafic for top tier service and attention to detail. We deeply hope that they know how much they are appreciated for their kindness and service. Until next time, One Love, One Peace, One Joy, One People

This property is absolutely amazing. You are in a court at the end of a private gated community .So many cool areas to relax from patio , bar, pool, beach , dock etc… The staff was incredibly nice and attentive and food off the charts.

We have stayed at many short term rental properties but this one beats them all. If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. The house is amazing and perfectly suited for our family of 9. This was my parents first time out of the country and “oh my” were they spoiled. The outdoor spaces are majestic, the sunset views are incredible, and the house comes with paddle boards and kayaks which we used everyday. Another fun experience was taking the boat out with Khemoy for a sunset ride and a 3 hour snorkeling excursion. The icing on the cake is really the staff. They are absolutely incredible. Kassandra in our opinion might be the best chef on the island. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner left us rubbing our bellies in pure bliss. She was also able to accommodate the kids and make them kid food they would eat. Another big shoutout to Dolores who made our beds and did our laundry everyday (what an amazing treat) and Rafic who tended the grounds and set our table most nights. He also makes a mean painkiller. And lastly Khemoy who is a jack of all trades and wears many hats including captain, event planner, table setter and part time cook. This trip reminded us how bless and grateful we are to have these types of experiences with family. If you can find an availability on the calendar book immediately. Cheers!

The property was wonderful. The staff was even more amazing! It was the most relaxed family vacation ever

We truly enjoyed our stay at Elsewhere. 2 families - 4 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of room for everyone to gather or spend alone time. Everyone loved the house and the activities that were available out our back door. Every morning we saw huge starfish, colorful fish and even saw a stingray swimming back and forth by the dock! The house has everything you need and is well appointed with tropical and plush decor and is comfortable and welcoming. Kemoy took us on a sunset cruise which was the perfect way to end a perfect vacation. And the sheets on the bed are like none I have ever slept on! Kasandra's meals were 5 star (the pepper pot soup is delicious!) and she is very thoughtful about preparing what you like and want. Kemoy was a first rate bartender/captain of the boat and attended to any need we had. Rafic was always there when we needed anything. And Ms. Delores was welcoming, warm and felt like the grandmother you loved visiting. Her hugs are amazing! The staff truly made this vacation special. Connie was helpful to organize what we wanted and even managed to get us a driver for the week - which was key! We were able to visit many places and did not have to worry about driving. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing our friends Kasandra, Kemoy, Rafic and Ms. Delores very soon!

We are a family of 6, plus our grandson. I have to say, all of the reviews are spot on. The house is more than comfortable, with plenty of room to be together or take those few minutes of personal time to reflect. A place to really relax. The staff makes this experience five star. I really can not say enough about how Kasandra, Kamoy, Dolores, and Rafi made us feel right at home. Every need from food, to drinks, to toys, was met. No ask was too much. We celebrated our grandsons 3rd birthday, with a magical light installation and a magnificent cake made by Kasandra. A week was too short. None of us wanted to leave. I also want to give a shout out to Roy, our driver for the week. He was great. Wen are already talking about going back next year. The only aspect we were not prepared for was the loud music coming from the resort across the bay. Maybe it was just last week (spring break), but they did not abide to any noise restrictions, if any are in place.

From the time we were greeted with delicious rum drinks to our final goodbye, the staff at Elsewhere made our group feel welcomed and took care of our every need and wish! Kasandra, Kemoy, Deloris, Rafic

Our family of 8 adults, 1 toddler and 3 babies had an amazing stay at Elsewhere Villa. The house was huge and very accommodating with bathrooms in every bedroom. We particularly enjoyed all the outdoor covered areas, the pool and the private beach. The staff at the Villa were incredible and so very accommodating. It was truly a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. We would definitely come back.

I never leave reviews but this property and staff so exceeded my high expectations I knew I had to let others know. I have stayed at places all over the globe and this was truly the best.

An easy experience renting this beautiful villa. Food, location, amenities, and staff were the best. We already booked for next year. Highly recommend!

You won't find a better place to book. I just enjoyed the Christmas/New year holidays with my family including 8 adults 2 toddlers and two infants. Cribs & Highchairs were arranged. Upon arrival an initial shop was already stocked including full bar. Subsequent meals were planned with the chef. We had a New Year's Eve dinner of local lobster and Beef Tenderloin which was on par with the best NYC restaurants. We spent numerous hours with the kids in the pool and sandy beachfront. Don't miss the boat ride around bird island. My wife and daughters use the kayaks and surf boards to paddle to the nearby reef for snorkeling. This is a very safe and convenient area. My kids went jogging several miles down the road passed Secrets Resort and MoBay Yacht club which is open to the public. Nearby dining on the Houseboat Grill is a must.

There is not enough space in this box for all the things I could say about ELSEWHERE! We literally felt at home from the moment we landed at the property. Kasandra and team felt like family. The house had such an amazing energy that cannot be explained. And Connie’s communication I cannot express how communicative she was… no stone was left unturned. Every request was met. The only negative is we had to leave!!!! :(. We will definitely be back in the future!!!! Thank you to Kasandra, Kemoy, Rafic, Delores Connie and Grace, I cannot sing your praises enough! Your stay here will not DISAPPOINT!!

4 high school friends enjoyed the trip of a lifetime! Elsewhere is a beautiful villa offering spectacular views.! The staff was amazing!! Kassandra’s cooking was superior. Every single meal was fantastic. Don’t even get me started on her desserts! Yum! Deloris took such meticulous care of us and our rooms. Rafic pampered us in every way. Our boat ride with Kemroy was a blast. We are so grateful & blessed to have had this opportunity! Thank you Elsewhere by the Sea for being above and beyond our expectations! We will most definitely be back!

What an absolutely spectacular experience. The property and grounds were incredible and even more beautiful then the pictures. Everything from the bed linens to outdoor cushions were so of top quality. The grounds were exceptional and maintained daily. I cannot say enough nice things and compliments about the property staff. They are truly what made this experience exceptional for us. Each individual member goes above and beyond without even being asked and with a smile on their face. I got married on the property and they truly helped me organize the most perfect day. The food was exceptional. Cancel all your dinner reservations because you will not find better cooking then Kasandras. If tou are looking for a sign to book this house … this is your sign. BOOOK IT and you will not regret it. Thank you for the laughs and wonderful memories. We will be back

Elsewhere by the Sea was amazing! Everyone was so great! Cassandra is the best cook and the food was amazing! We pretty much ate in everyday and the one day we went out we wished we had stayed in for dinner! For my Birthday they surprised me with a delicious cake. The property is as shown in the pictures and the views are amazing! We will definitely be back!!

We went with 3 generations from 5 to 74 in age. The house was very comfortable and the staff was amazing. The best thing about the house was the staff. They were kind and thoughtful and great at helping us plan our activities and meals. The bedrooms are in a slightly different configuration than the photos show, the garden bedroom has two bunk beds, and it was quite crowded with 4 kids in there. The pool and views were amazing. We didn't go swimming at the beach because of the sea grass but we did spot some cool fish, starfish, rays, etc. We took the boat out snorkeling and for a sunset swim, and it was amazing. Highly recommended! Be sure to give Connie your credit card in advance otherwise you have to get *a lot* of cash to pay for groceries and gratutity. We found it hard to communicate with her once we were there, and would've liked more communication before the trip too. Overall a great stay, thank you!

Perfection

Cassandra, Kemoy, Rafic and Dolores were absolutely amazing and took great care of us. We were 3 generations staying at Elsewhere and there was something to do for everyone. Great location, great house and absolutely the best service one can imagine! We will definitely be going back here again.

Our visit to Elsewhere was completely awesome! Everyone enjoyed our relaxing and beautiful surroundings. The staff was just wonderful, going above and beyond at every turn! The food and service was excellent. The Elsewhere team took great care of all of our needs and even planning a special dinner (with a cake) for my wife’s birthday. We will be back again!

No detail went undone at this property. Best family vacation to date. Definitely plan to return.

When 11 people from the ages of 5 to 67 all agree on something then you know it’s right. We all agree that this was the BEST vacation we have ever had!!! The house is beautiful and the staff is beyond extraordinary!!! The food and hospitality of the staff was made this vacation so perfect! If you want an experience like no other, where you can completely relax, this is the place.

I cannot say enough amazing things about our recent stay at this house. We went down as 6 adults all celebrating a major milestone birthday. The communication leading up to our trip was perfect. Easy to have the house pre-stocked with food/drinks and share our preferences. Pickup at the airport was simple. We were greeted by all 4 staff when we arrived. A quick house tour and we were immediately on vacation. But here is where the magic happened. Kasandra helped us plan an amazing menu for the week. She listened to the foods that excited us (shrimp, lobster, snapper, jerk chicken, etc) and then incorporated all of those into the menu throughout the week. The food was top tier. In fact, our group ate out once, and we regretted paying for a dinner out, when Kasandra's amazing cooking was available back home. Keymoy, Dolores, Rafic were each individually amazing. They are true professionals and extremely personable. They took care of every detail, while also not being overbearing and allowing the 6 of us to have our privacy, which made it feel like we were living in our very own Jamaican vacation home. Albeit with amazing multi-course meals magically served 3 times a day and the bar/pool/snacks getting cleaned continuously up throughout the day. Now lets talk location. It's in a beautiful lagoon, calm waters, beautiful sunsets over the bay. We saw starfish, jellyfish, stingrays, tropical fish, pufferfish, sea cucumbers, crabs, anemones all close by. We kayaked daily across the lagoon to the coral reefs and even took stand-up paddleboards over to 'bird island' for a fun morning stroll. We WILL be coming back... with friends... with family.... with kids! The house is the perfect size and location for everyone.

When you see nothing but five star ratings, you go into your week with incredibly high expectations - and Elsewhere meets every one of them. The outdoor living space was our home the entire week - we loved playing card games, lounging in the pool, playing, going out on the boat, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. When we were ready for bedtime, our rooms were so cool and the beds were so comfortable - we all slept like rocks all week long. This is something that was really nice for us - you never know what type of finishes/linens you’ll get in a rental, but they were luxurious. And on top of that, you have Dolores there to do the laundry and clean up/make beds. Honestly she was an angel! The food was incredible, just as everyone mentioned. If you haven’t had the experience of a private chef, let me tell you - it’s amazing!! You’re in the pool until it’s time for lunch, you eat, and head back to the pool. The staff was great. Kemoy was good at figuring out how much attention we wanted or didn’t want. He was always available, but not overbearing. The one note for us was that you can’t fish in the protected bay, which was disappointing for our friends who had planned on doing so. But they happily entertained themselves all week without issue. We would highly recommend this property to family and friends and can definitely see ourselves visiting again. Thank you for a wonderful week.
