Recent guest reviews

Great to be at the end to look at the beach and easy access to the beach.
Larry L. | Jul 2025
I couldn’t be happier with my experience staying at this condo. From the moment I arrived in, everything has been smooth, modern, and comfortable. The unit itself is beautifully designed — spacious layout, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. I especially love the updated kitchen and the private balcony with a great view.

Spotless and convenient for moving in/out!

The house was good. The WIFI was not the best. The house is not high enough off the ground to be able to see the beach but you can see the water. All in all we had a great vacation and would recommend the Montego Paradise.

FAQ

Yes, our oceanfront rentals offer direct beach access and are located just steps from the water.

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are often provided at many of our oceanfront vacation rentals. However, they are not a standard amenity across all oceanfront homes. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.

Many of our oceanfront vacation homes and condos include a private balcony or deck with stunning ocean views, along with water views from many of the rooms. Although that is not standard among all oceanfront rentals. We recommend looking at all the photos and taking a property’s 3D tour to make sure the property offers the amenities you’d like.

Some oceanfront rentals, especially those located on popular beaches, may include an outdoor shower or designated area to rinse off sand. This is not a standard feature across all rentals, but is more common in properties where guests participate in beach and water activities. We recommend reading the listing description thoroughly and looking at the home's list of amenities.
