Perfect family beach getaway

Our family had an amazing time! The house was gorgeous and spotless, and some days, we had the beach all to ourselves. The internet was top-notch. The house also has Netflix and board games as additional entertainment. The only suggestion I have is to put mosquito nets over the beds. We’d definitely come back again!

A Treasure by the beach

Comfortable, clean, well appointed, air conditioned bedrooms, with WiFi and private pool. The surrounding community was also very welcoming and the local food fresh and made to order. Beach access steps away from the property with local mascot, pinky the dog leading the way. We enjoyed our stay 💯

Remote and safe villa

My family spent 7 days at this location and had a very good experience. We had a few minor issues, but they were resolved quickly by the owner.If you are looking for a 5 star property, this is not it. The location is fairly remote with challenging roads to get there. However it was excellent for our family.The beach is amazing and is only a few steps away across a small road. On a few days we were the only people on the beach. I addition the pool was clean and we used that almost daily.We would stay there again.

Great spot on Treasure Beach

Can’t fault the location. Just minutes from a beautiful bay in the Treasure Beach area plus the convenience of a lovely little pool. Staff greeted us and were super friendly. Bedrooms were comfortable but the kitchen facilities were a little dated. The biggest drawback was the lack of any comfortable seating anywhere. There was a nice outdoor terrace, but no comfortable seats and after dark, it was spoiled by a very intrusive security light going on every time anybody moved.

Magical stay in the "real" Jamaica

We had an incredible time at Villa Optima and Treasure Beach. The whole area is amazing... so gorgeous, down to earth, safe, welcoming, the list goes on. We can't wait to come back. The house was perfect for our group of 2 parents, 3 kids (5/5/8) and one grandpa. We spent hours and days in the pool. The beach is right across the road and perfect for swimming with kids. Wadia's food was delicious (as was every other meal we had in the area - definitely go to Jake's and Lashing's Beach Club, just a bit up the beach!) Communication and check-in was easy, the house was clean and actually even nicer than it looks in the pictures, and the beds were comfortable. Overall a fabulous stay!

Villa Optima with my boy

The property itself was surreal, with the beach across the street you wake up to the sound of waves crashing every morning. We spent a LOT of time in the pool, which is perfect size and depth for relaxing or playtime with the kids. It is a bit of a walk into town to get supplies, but I enjoyed the walk when the nice people there would let me. (They stopped multiple times and insisted I let them give me a ride) but if you have a rental car this is no issue. The AC/WIFI/etc worked perfectly the whole stay, and the hosts and supporting staff were beyond friendly and there if I needed them. It was a charming, quiet, wonderful experience all the way around. I will probably stay here again WHEN I return to Treasure Beach. Thank you Paolo and Tia!

Welcoming Villa Optima in Secluded Treasure Beach

Two couples shared this spacious three bedroom Villa with a wrap around porch that faces secluded wharf bay across the street. We've been to Treasure Beach several times. There's a large living area that's connected to a well appointed kitchen. And best of all, Monica and Trudy are great cooks and even better hosts. They pampered us with great meals for breakfast and dinner... and made us feel part of the Treasure Beach family. The owner Paolo lives in the house next door and was very attentive without being in our way. Paolo even shared fresh coconuts with us several times. We would highly recommend Villa Optima if you're looking for a laid back, relaxing trip to a non-touristy area of Jamaica. Paolo partners with Rebecca at Treasure Tours for transportation to and from the Montego Bay airport. It's about a 2-1/2 hour trip across the mountains but well worth the drive with Kevin. HIghlights are daily "walkabouts" to Eggy's on the beach, Smurf's for breakfast if you want to give the girls a break, Jack Spratt's for conch soup, Junior's for Jerk or pea soup, Charmaine's for cold Red Stripe, Charlie for hand made local crafts. Captain Dennis for boat tours, Miss Dawn's for great hand roasted coffee. The list of wonderful new and old friends goes on. Explore and find your own new adventures.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Optima

We stayed at Villa Optima for 22 nights. The host Paolo was wonderful. He responded essentially immediately, and provided extra items for the house whenever we asked. He helped us buy fresh fish and rum and other things we needed. The private pool was very pleasant, and has some nice shaded areas so you can hang out there for a long time. The beach was just 50 yards away. It is a sandy beach and you can easily swim in the ocean. Usually there was no-one else on the beach, it was never crowded. We did a lot of snorkeling and there are fish to see. You can easily walk along the beach to small restaurants/bars and swimming coves. The drive from Montego Bay airport was a bit long, but it was worth it. Treasure Beach is a very pleasant community. A few small shops and different restaurants to try. I found a tennis court to play on and saw a local cricket match. The house worked well for us. The three air-conditioned bedrooms were good for the up to 6 people in the group. The main living room/kitchen was spacious but could do with some improved lighting. It is not air-conditioned, but the floor fan helped a lot. There is a very large and pleasant veranda around 2 sides of the house. We hung out there a lot. But do bring insect repellent. Overall we had a great time and would recommend the house to others.

I Shall Return Again!

We stayed at this property from June 20th, 2023 through July 03, 2023. I am originally from Jamaica and wanted to have an experience where I was rubbing elbows with the locals. Treasure Beach did not disappoint! I felt like I was truly home. We went to the beach everyday, did a sunrise walk and a sunset walk, the sunset is absolutely breathtaking. Our 8 year old son built sand castles, climbed trees, hunted sea shells, watched the crabs on the beach and swam in the ocean. Every morning we had breakfast on the verandah as a family. My husband downloaded an app on his phone so we could learn more about the local birds that would be singing so sweetly while we were enjoying our breakfast. I really felt like a kid again as I was taking notice of little things like the different kinds of lizards, trees and flowers. We were mesmerized by a hummingbird fighting off a lizard. We drank lots and lots of coconut water! People were neighbourly, friendly and willing to help you find what you need. Our host Paolo was the best! He went grocery shopping for us ahead of time so we would be stocked up on our arrival, he took us on a mini tour of the town and showed us where all the hot spots were, he was always just a message away and I appreciated that. Wadia was a great cook! She knew how to cater to everyone's palate. The meals were never too spicy or too bland, it was just right. She made great dinners for us. Ask her to make you some of her favourites!

Great place right next to a quiet beach

We stayed at the end of January with our two kids (10,13) and it was picture perfect. The AC in the bedrooms stayed nice and cold, pool was clean and well maintained. Beach was just across the road, soft sandy beach, fun waves for the kids. Great location. Would definitely recommend.

Great getaway

The property was beautiful and secluded towards the end of a lane. We used Waita for 2 meals a day and drivers to go to the rum factory and YS Falls. Anything we needed was handled promptly. Bring bug spray & after bite. Those Jamaican sand flies & mosquitos know when to pounce. The food was better than in the restaurants we found and the drivers made life more comfortable for us. Enjoyed our stay very much. Our only complaint is that we wished the common area had AC as the time we were there it wasnt very breezy thus it got hot at night. The hosts, grounds keeper, house helper & the drivers were all incredible.

AMAZING !!

Wow !! if I could give Villa Optima 10 stars I would. Our stay at Villa Optima was truly amazing !! Paolo was an awesome host who took care of us and made us feel completely at home, from having a fire on the beach on my birthday to recommending our excellent driver Puyo, Paolo really made our stay phenomenal. Wadia cooked for us while we were there and her meals were some of the best we have had in years. Treasure beach and Villa Optima are truly a slice of paradise and true hidden gems, we will definitely be returning in the future. If your looking for a relaxing quiet vacation with amazing food and an amazing host then staying with Paolo at Villa Optima is the perfect place to go. Thank you to Paolo, Tia, Wadia and Puyo for making us feel at home, taking care of us and making our trip one of the most memorable and enjoyable times we've ever had. Thank you.

Perfect family vacation spot

Paolo and Tia were amazing hosts, Wadia is a marvelous cook and a joy to be around. The location is perfect for solitude and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The beach is lovely, and we had it to ourselves during the week. The whole family enjoyed the pool, and the beds were very comfortable. The vacation was just about perfect, and the beach bonfire sendoff was a lovely surprise that we will never forget. Thank you, Paolo and Tia Blessings, Lauren, Chris, Lazlo, Desmond and Becky.

A gem of a magical getaway

From booking to departure, this villa experience has been splendid and brilliant value for money. The villa has character and the location is exceptional - we pretty much had our own ‘private’ beach right outside the front door! Wadia cooked us splendid meals and the hosts are right on hand if you need anything. We wanted a relaxing chilled holiday, in a beautiful location that also has some famous Caribbean soul and we got it. Oh and did we mention the beach? Just wow!

Close to Beach, comfortable home

Centrally located in Treasure Beach, this location is a quick drive or walk to a few local restaurants. Most everything needed was provided for, with plenty of kitchen essentials, towels and even small soaps. The only thing we'd wished for were a few more screens in the main room, since a cross breeze was essential during very hot days and nights. Outdoor fans would have been wonderful, but there was a standing fan inside we pulled outdoors that helped with evening mosquitos. The home is rustic, but again comfortable and well maintained.

Excellent beach location / access

Nice house, great location! Owner and cook were super friendly and helpful. The house has a great pool and wonderful outside sitting area. The house is off the main road and on a dead end, so you can enjoy the sounds of the ocean. You are not ocean front, but you literally walk 20 feet to cross the dirt road and have beach access. The house is a bit dated and the bathrooms could be improved, but they’re not show stoppers. This place affords good value for the price.

Spectacular Location

This villa was as advertised. If you are looking to relax in nature and enjoy the most private, pristine beach ever, this is the place. On calmer days, we were able to snorkel right outside the front door. It's a bit of a trek to get to restaurants and shopping, but it's worth it. The villa was well appointed and the meals were fantastic. The pool was an added bonus that we really enjoyed. Everyone had a fantastic time.

Very welcoming.

Property was as advertised. Right on the beach. Paulo lives right next door and was available for any questions. The property is advertised as having a washer but the housekeeper was hesitant to let us use it, and instead did our laundry for us. Not our intent so if you want laundry done might want to inquire. It was well equipped with everything we needed. We will go back with family again. All the staff very kind and helpful.
