AMAZING!!!!!

We had the best time! Hats off to the entire crew at Sandpebbles. Javier, Marianne, Dell and Nicholas made our trip unforgettable. Just amazing. Let Dell cook up all of her favorites! We told her what we liked and let her go from there, every meal was amazing. If you’re looking for an excursion, go to the Blue Hole! It was EPIC. We can’t wait to return.

Great house

We enjoyed our stay at Sandpebbles! It was very hot but enjoyed the outdoor living space and pool and were very appreciative of the air conditioned bedrooms. Local fishing village was very interesting but thought the price of the food was very hefty. Enjoyed Chef Joes cooking.

Great stay at the beach!

We shared this property with another family including young children for a full week and had a really nice time. Gizelle was super responsive in the lead up, answering all our questions and arranging our airport transportation; her son Jason followed up during our stay, and the staff at the house were friendly, warm but unobtrusive, and super accommodating. We enjoyed sampling delicious Jamaican dishes that Dell prepared for us. It was wonderful, especially with young kids, to be right on the beach and we also got tons of use out of the large pool.

Wonderful Spot

We had an absolutely lovely time at Sandpebbles. The house is very clean and right on an ideal bay. While the house was wonderful, the staff there was the real highlight. Dell is a phenomenal cook, asked us what we would like (we went local) and proceeded to make delicous meals. Jav, our Butler, is personable, made fabulous Boat Drinks included Pina Coladas & Daquiris. Gregory took care of the outside and made a really spectacular bonfire and Miriam kept everything spic and span. Our hosts, Jason and Gizelle both stopped by and Jason arranged trips to the Blue Hole, Bio Bay & Discovery Cove. He also arranged In House Massages---best we ever had. You will love a stay at Sandpebbles!

Trip postponed due to Covid

Our trip was planned for May 9th, however it was postponed. We spoke to Gizelle and she agreed that we could use the funds later. So, we did not cancel the trip and get our money back. We hope to go there once things settle down. Gizelle was very responsive and reasonable. Unable to post w/o rating stay. Have given all a 5 even tho we did not go.

Great Stay in Bengal Bay

We had a wonderful stay at Gizelle’s property in Bengal Bay. Kemar was at the airport to pick us up, find us coffee on the way and was available to bring us where ever we needed to go throughout our stay. Oliver was wonderful and able to connect us with whoever we needed to speak to regarding anything we needed or wanted. Lemana kept the place extremely tidy and always had a beautiful smile on her face. Chef Joe’s cooking was amazing and nothing we asked for was too tall of an order for him despite our varying needs for our small children and ourselves. Jason, Gizelle’s son, stopped in to check on us on more than one occasion and was kind. The stay was great and the grounds/property are beautiful. We had the rest and relaxation we needed. Thank you!

100% AMAZING!!!!!

Gizelle is awesome. Her attention to detail makes this Villa amazing. Equipped with everything you could want and then some. Jason was awesome. He picked us up at the airport and drove us to the more secluded locations for cliff jumping etc.... Although to be honest we didn't need to leave the house. Tyrone, Pauline and Dell were amazing. We had wonderful meals served to us when we wanted them. The property is gorgeous, the beach amazing.....and there is a swim up bar. I can't say enough about sand pebbles except that I will for sure go back. Thank you GIZELLE....for a top notch girls weekend.....maybe the best we've had!

Great stay!

I would happily stay here again. The online description and pictures were on spot. The staff was really good. The butler, OJ, was our point person at the property and he did an amazing job. Chef Joe did a very good job, was very kind and met our needs for a combination of Jamaican and American foods. Nell was a great housekeeper and very welcoming. Gregory was the groundskeeper and kept things perfect outside and in when needed. The pool was perfect, Beach was great and outdoor seating was comfortable. Minor challenges were the bugs were bad occasionally outside (which they cannot help), there is a hot tub but it isn’t functional and the hot water didn’t work great in the showers all the time. However, these are minor overall and I would 100% go back to the home. Gizelle is a great host and her son, Jason, helped out as well and was very kind.

Fantastic trip to Jamaica!

We had such an amazing time staying at Sandpebbles! We had a party of six starting on New Year's Eve and the staff surprised us with a beautiful candle lit dinner on the beach followed by a magnificent bonfire on the beach. Every meal was delicious -- Chef Joe is very talented! Our butler, O.J., was super sweet and accommodating, and he always had the table set so nicely. The housekeeper, Dell, was very welcoming and did a great job keeping the house in order (beds made every day, etc.). The groundskeeper, Gregory, was also very nice and the grounds were gorgeous. Our driver, Kemar, was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the luminous lagoon and Dunn's River Falls. Such amazing experiences! Jason was also a great driver and helped us figure out what we wanted to do while we were there, giving us much needed advice to miss crowds, which we greatly appreciated. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, as well as the foosball on the porch. My mom had a fabulous massage on the porch while we all hiked up Dunn's River Falls too! The entire stay was glorious and the staff really made it extra special. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to fully relax and enjoy the beauty of Jamaica!

Best of both worlds!

I stayed 5 nights at Sandpebbles with my husband, our 3-month-old twins, my parents and my husband’s parents. We had such a wonderful time and are already planning a return trip next year. Gizelle was incredibly communicative throughout the booking and planning process and made sure we had everything we needed for the babies, including infant car seats for the trip from the airport, two pack & plays with bassinets and mosquito nets for sleeping, and plenty of bottled water for formula. The house is beautiful and so homey. You can tell it has been a real labor of love for Gizelle and her family. The landscaping and little decorative touches are just lovely. We especially loved the outdoor dining table, where we had every single one of our meals, the outdoor lounge areas, and the ample chairs by the pool and beach. The location is really special, on a very secluded and beautiful beach shared with just a few other houses. We really enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling and paddle boarding in the bay, with all the equipment provided at the house. We had planned to do a few excursions while we were there, but enjoyed just being around the house so much that we never left! The staff is really excellent and really put the stay over the top. Having them there makes this the best of both worlds: the conveniences of home and the amenities of a luxury resort! Nancy’s cooking was fantastic, Pauline kept the house spotless, and Tyrone took excellent care of us all week. This was our first time staying in a staffed villa and we loved the experience. We can’t wait to return!

Great Location, Beautiful Home, Amazing Staff, & BEST Customer Service !!!

Want a beach and pool all to yourselves for the entire stay – come to Sandpebbles. It is perfect. The experience we had was simply phenomenal! The property is stunning and very peaceful. The setup of the villa is perfect and the attention to detail is evident, both inside and out. The Villa’s setting and landscape is so nice, that you wouldn’t want to leave it to go elsewhere ... especially if you are in Jamaica for some downtime, to relax and chill! What beats the property? The wonderful, amazing house staff! They make you feel like royalty! The entire staff welcomed us with warm arms and made every effort to anticipate our needs and make our stay comfortable. · Gizelle was an awesome host – very warm, welcoming, accommodating and communicative. She visited personally to make sure we were comfortable. · Chef Joe served us amazing food; we let him pick and prepare the meals and each one was delightful. Using local flavors and ingredients he provided us an amazing variety of delicious Jamaican meals. The desserts he came up with were simple yet phenomenal. · OJ, always smiling, is a gem of a human being. He made sure that we were always comfortable and got whatever we needed. He is tireless! · Dell, with a lovely smile, took great care of the house and kept the villa spotless. · Gregory ensured the yard was clean. · Kemar, an excellent driver, took us to the places we wanted to visit. TBH – Sandpebbles was everything and more than we could have hoped for; it exceeded all expectations. The home and setting right on the beach were amazing but the staff put it over the top. Gizelle and Team – Thank you for having us and treating us so well – rather spoiling us! We loved our stay and can't wait to return. Soon come – as they say in Jamaica … Yeah Maan !

Trip of a lifetime!!

We chose Sandpebbles to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We brought our friends (4 couples total) the first week, then our children ages 19, 20 & 23 joined us the last week. Gizelle was there from the beginning and all the way to the end to answer all our questions, and we had many throughout the course of a year prior. She also came by In person to make certain we were taken care of. The home is beautiful and security guards made us feel safe and secure on our beach. We celebrated with a renewal of vows on the beach and Gizelle made sure every one of our requests were taken care of. Jason was the perfect host. We didn’t want excursions with lots of tourists and he was in communication with us prior to our stay and he provided many suggestions for off the beaten path trips. Jason was so welcoming and eager to show us all the natural flavors of Jamaica. He wanted to make certain we tasted all the fruit grown on the property and drove us to spots to taste the best jerk and conch shell. We would highly recommend the luminous lagoon & the blue hole (Island Gully) hike up waterfalls. We took an authentic Jamaican fishing trip & caught plentiful jack fish that Dell cooked for dinner. The staff is so delightful. Dell is the best chef cooking up all the local favorites and also gave me cooking lessons on all the local dishes. Breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked for us and put away for us each day was truly a blessing!! Tyrone was there from early morning cleaning the grounds to making sure we had coffee ready and fresh fruit when we woke up. Always with a smile and eager to accommodate our needs. Beverly was our housekeeper and helped Dell in kitchen. She made certain the house was clean, our rooms were picked up, beds made each day. Every evening she would put our beds down, close all the doors and turn the AC on to allow for a comfortable nights sleep. These wonderful Jamaican people were our family for two weeks and they sure made us feel like part of theirs. This trip was truly one to remember. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandpebbles.

Fantastic 10 day stay!

We just got back from an amazing vacation at Sandpebbles! We had 8 adults and a few children with us. Upon arrival we were greeted with cold hand towels and fresh lemonade. The photos of the house do not do this place justice! The men in our group fished, snorkeled, kayaked and crab hunted daily. The kids loved swimming in the pool, lizard & frog hunting, searching for sand crabs, and playing in the sand. We had a couple fires on the beach and our last meal set up at sunset on the beach. We loved having the beach a few steps off the property! We can not say enough good things about the staff, they really made our stay. Tyrone prepared homemade ice cream & smoothies poolside for the kids, made sure the pool and grounds area were clean before breakfast, coffee brewed daily, served us drinks, set up the fires for us, plus helped the ladies in the kitchen. Dell prepares amazing food. We let her plan our meals for the most part and we weren't disappointed by anything! She even made us fresh crab cakes and lobster that the boys speared that day! The 1 yr old got sick on our stay and she went out of her way to go to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine. Pauline on top of making sure the entire house was spotless, also helped Dell in the kitchen. The main areas of the house were always clean and so were our rooms, she even did laundry if we needed. We really can't say enough good things about the staff. Our vacation wouldn't have been what it was, without them. Jason, had great suggestions for excursions. We did four on our trip. He took us to the Blue Hole one day and Bio Luminescence water at night, both are worth seeing and nearby! He also drove us to the store when we needed to- he was very accommodating. Maybe a few things to note, groceries are not cheap, so plan to spend more than you're thinking. Get your hard liquor at the airport ,it's very expensive at the grocery stores. And if you are going with a larger group, just remember to be patient with the staff, island time is a little slower! TIP them good, they deserve it! Had a great stay Gizelle! You have a beautiful home and AMAZING staff.

We had an amazing time in Jamaica. The cook Ms. Dell was great and she catered to our vegetarian diet. Javier was good at managing the house and Sasha kept the house clean everyday. My 2 cents is to spruce the place with new furnishings, beddings, towels, furniture etc. to make it comparable to the sister property Siesta right next door. Jason was wonderful in organizing tours for our group of ten and Kemar, our driver was amazing. All in all, great place right on the beach with great food. Some TLC would make it perfect.
