The property is centrally located to everything and the overall complex is nice. The quality of a private rental is solely based on the owner. With that said here are the pros and cons of unit: Pros: The complex is safe and is conveniently located to shops, restaurants, super markets, shopping, and entertainment. The apartment is clean but uncomfortable (see cons). The internet connection is good and reliable. Cons: The apartment is foul smelling. There seems to be two problems that cause this: One, there is a sour/moldy smell in the bedroom. The source seems to be the air-condition. Two, the bathroom smells. It appears to emit a slight sewer odor. Perhaps the plumbing are not sealed properly. The apartment is mosquito infested. There are all sorts of mosquito repellents such as wristbands and sprays as well as raid insect killer. Also, if you are skirmish, you may find the occasional unwanted worms a problem. If you need hot water to shower, you will have a problem in moderating the temperature because it shower constantly goes from hot to cold. A good shower head could probably fix that. The two daybeds are dingy; I am sure that shining a black-light on them would reveal more than you want to know. The pots and pans can definitely use an upgrade. The TV is old. I had to manually turn it on and off and to control the volume; maybe that was on me. There is nothing to play a little music or to listen to the radio. At the price point per night, those things are normally available and the units are generally far superior. I visit Jamaica often and normally use private owned rentals and this is the worst experience I have had with a rental. Bear in mind that once you book and arrive at the facility there is no changing rooms or getting a refund. I was tempted to find another place and eat the costs but a friend urged me not to waste the money. Note that one of the pictures of property shows a beach scene. The property is not situated on a beach, but a beach is close by that you can access for a small fee. I depended heavily on the reviews, which seem reasonably recent, before I booked. I also placed a lot of weight on the fact that the unit was billed as newly renovated. I definitely did not see any evidence of that.

I really enjoyed my accommodation in Columbus Heights, Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I was attending a friend's wedding and immediately upon dropping me off they were impressed with the space having already rented a unit up the street in advance of their special day. It was clean, safe, and well furnished. A nice balance of authenticity and convenience. While in Jamaica one certainly enjoys getting out and exploring. Downtown is a bit of a walk but accessible. If were to stay longer I certainly could have done so and would have enjoyed making use of some of the other amenities, particularly the swimming pool and kitchen. To this point it would serve as a nice retreat for couples that are a little more independent and in pursuit of a genuine experience .You are able to enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the beautiful views of the surrounding area at a fraction of the tourist/resort prices. Owners were friendly, considerate, and prepared to offer additional services (housekeeping, laundry etc) to make my stay more enjoyable. Close to activities, nightlife, popular attractions and delicious food! Jerk is plentiful but I particularly enjoyed the curry goat at My Favourite Place Restaurant. The Mongoose also offered up some savory oxtail while catering to more delicate palates. I would recommend this property for visitors who are looking for value and something slightly under the radar.

I stayed at this condo for 10 days with my Wife & Daughter(age 6). The place is clean, comfortable and exactly as pictured. The view from the balcony is priceless and the pool is awesome. The owner and house keeper are very nice and accommodating. The hill to the unit is very steep, so not easy to walk up. You can get a taxi from the town if needed.

I stayed for two weeks in Feb-May 2015. This condo was fantastic! It was everything I had wanted and more! Both the owner and house keeper were extremely friendly and the unit was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The complex was a 5 minute walk to Margarita Ville and the main strip of Ocho Rios. And I couldn't have asked for a better view from the balcony!! Amazing! As a seasoned traveller to Jamaica I would definitely stay here again and recommend. Great pool area and fitness center too!

I absolutely loved the condo and will definitely be back next time I'm in Ocho Rios....the condo was exactly as pictured, the view from the balcony was gorgeous, great location in proximity to lots of popular places including Margaritaville, the WiFi was excellent, bed was extremely comfortable. Simone and Laverne were super helpful throughout our stay. Soon come back! :)

The condo is exactly as pictured. It has all the items you will need to enjoy your stay. My favorite part is the location! You are close to every tourist spot in Ocho Rios. You are actually in walking distance but the condo sits on hills. Due to the fact it sits on hills, you have wonderful views of the ocean and pook right outside the front door!

The condo was just as described. The view was beautiful. The condo was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Simone, the owner, and Lola, the housekeeper, were very accomodating and wonderful to work with. I will definately be renting this condo again!!!! Thank you.
