Had the most wonderful stay at SeaEsta for my 50th birthday. Conley was the highlight, who made it extra special with decorations, his attentiveness and professionalism. But the entire staff was great too! The villa was perfect for our group of 7 women - highly recommend!

Fabulous experience. The staff made everything so nice. Condley, Richie, Kemar and Katy all went above and beyond. Food was great and made everything so easy. The mango drinks were a huge hit with the kids. They handled any logistics we needed. Plenty to do at the property and helped us plan the right level of excursions that we wanted. Nice that the area was not overly touristy. Beautiful home and amazing views. Very pleasantly surprised by Jamaica. It was a special trip and hope to return again one day. Overall a top notch family vacation.

SeaEsta was OVER THE TOP AWESOME! You get what you pay for and the higher price tag here was WELL worth it. Chef Richie, Butler Glen, Driver Kemar, Housekeeper (I can’t recall her name) — they were all so great and accommodating, going above and beyond. We got to watch a cargo ship unload and leave while we were there, which was a super cool experience! Plus the tree on the beach is a favorite of the pelicans! Zero complaints, literally nothing. Everything from the beautiful vehicle, to the scheduling of excursions…Jason and Gizelle hooked it up! We will definitely be back!

One of our greatest vacations thanks to exceptional hosts and house staff who have thought of everything. The house is perfectly laid out for a large group. Riccardo, Richie, Kemar, and Kay are truly amazing, so kind, and work hard to make your visit great. Having home cooked meals instead of eating in restaurants every day was such a better experience and way to try local flavors. Gizelle and Jason were quick and helpful on all communications. We're very appreciative of the experience this team has put together.

Fabulous family holiday!

Our family had a wonderful time at Seaesta at Bengal! The host and staff were very friendly and did everything possible to make our stay the best possible. The facility was well suited for our group of 8 adults with separate bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, space to lounge and enjoy the beautiful ocean view, and a lovely pool that was always clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Seaesta and will definitely recommend it to others, as well as return for another visit! Many thanks!!

Rest & Relaxation

This beautiful property and the friendly, attentive staff made our week perfect. Although we chose to venture out for a couple short activities, we could have easily spent all our time at this beautiful oasis. I’m grateful for the quiet, slow time with my family and the staff that allowed for rest and relaxation. My daughters loved the paddle boards, kayaks, sand toys, yard games, and crab hunting. The food and service were great.

A piece of Paradise

A group of 8 adults celebrating a bday stayed for 5 nights and we had an amazing experience. The first night we arrived we were greeted with a vodka infused drink and a cold towel which was awesome. The chef Richie made delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The butler Ricardo was also available to tend to us and never skipped a beat. All the staff were amazing from the driver to the housekeeping service. The villa has everything you need and the beach is literally steps away and the pool is fabulous. I would recommend this villa and would book it again, again and again.

BEST VRBO EVER

Best vacation/anniversary trip we have ever had in 24 years. The villa was absolutely stunning. The pictures are beautiful, but don’t do the place justice. The staff was kind, courteous, fun, attentive, and great at their jobs. The food was top notch both in quality and presentation. Chef Ritchie made us the best chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted for our anniversary. The owner Gizelle stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was good. That was a nice touch, it’s obvious she takes great pride in her beautiful property. The sound of the ocean while sitting by the beautiful pool having m coffee every day was the best. We will definitely book this VRBO again.

Beautiful views with a Modern Feel

Without the wonderful staff and beautiful home and views we would of had disappointing trip. Our weather unexpectedly had brought us rain and clouds for most of our trip, but the staff and home with the water views made the difference. The home was easy for us all to connect and play games while watching the waves and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure we were well fed! Once the clouds cleared the pool, beach and yard allowed us to capture the rays in style!

From the moment we arrived, we knew this was going to be a special stay — but what we didn’t expect was just how extraordinary it would be. The house itself was stunning — beautifully maintained, perfectly appointed, and incredibly comfortable. Every room was thoughtfully designed, and it felt like every detail had been chosen with care.But what truly set this experience apart was the incredible staff. They didn’t just meet our expectations — they anticipated our every need, often before we even realized it ourselves. It honestly felt like they were reading our minds. Whether it was having something we needed ready just in time or creating moments that felt completely personalized, their attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism went above and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals, but nothing compares to this. The combination of a gorgeous property and a team that made us feel completely seen and taken care of made for a flawless, unforgettable trip.We’re already planning our return — there’s simply no question. This was the best experience we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to come back.

Sea Esta in Jamaica

This was a very special stay for our family. Property is updated, spacious, clean, open concept surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. The staff was welcoming, friendly and they not only attended to every need, but anticipated what our family liked. The pool was great for grandchildren and I never tired of the view of colorful Caribbean Sea. I don’t eat desserts however gained nine pounds in one week if that tells you anything about the cooking! Wonderful vacation home.

I have never bothered writing a review in the past, but this place was so great that I had no choice. The space, both outdoor and indoor was perfect. The food was excellent, with the chef ensuring our 3 gluten free and two pescatarians had their own fare for every meal. The staff were wonderful. Thanks to Travis, Kamar, Ritchie and Pauline for a great holiday. We will be back!

What a special week!

This was our first trip to Jamaica and Gizelle and her staff made it one to remember! I have never had such a relaxing vacation. We were spoiled with incredible food and drinks. The excursions that were recommended were such fun. The house was perfect for our group. We loved the huge pool and greenspace for the kids to play in. The adults' favorite spot was hanging out on the daybed under the tree just along the waters edge. We will highly recommend SeaEsta to any of our friends or family who want to visit Jamaica and hope that we are able to go back again some day.

Family SeaEsta!

Our family of 10 walked into a breathtaking villa with a view of the pool and bay, the day before Hurricane Beryl hit. Gizelle had excellent staff prepared, so we really didn’t have much of a problem. The whole property is amazing! Chef Ritchie was so incredible, my sister in-law wanted to take him home with us. We will definitely tell family and friends about the villa. Next time we will hopefully not go during a hurricane. Thanks so much for our experience.

It was an absolutely glorious long weekend at SeaEsta with family and friends - all of us from Kingston. Chef Richie worked so hard, cooked wonderful food and did so seamlessly. He truly catered to what the adults and children wanted, cooking the steaks to perfection for those of us who love them rare and those wanting them medium/well. His fried fish, bammy and festival rivals the best at Hellshire. His Johnny cakes and breakfasts are the bomb! His lemon meringue pie and chocolate cake are a must. I honestly could go on and on. Ricardo, the sweetest gem of a human, served us drinks, coffee, fruit and so much more before we even knew we wanted them! He was incredibly attentive and kind to us all. Kamar kept everything looking fabulous around this beautiful airy villa, working well with Ricardo to attend to our every whim (like I said, before we even knew we wanted something). Kay was so gracious and kind, keeping our rooms and the villa tidy, bringing us fresh towels when we needed. She even made a lovely surprise on my bed on my birthday! In fact, from the moment we arrived, she had fresh wet towels to wipe off the hot Kingston grime from our faces, making us feel so welcome. All of them made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. I cannot stress enough about what a superb crew all four of them are! I miss them already and hope they will be safe with the hurricane looming close by.

About the host

Host profile image
Married to my husband for 40 years, I have 4 awesome kids, and now 5 precious grand kids.
Sandpebbles is a labour of love, so SeaEsta was destined to be born.

Why they chose this property

Years ago we turned our home Sandpebbles into a rental Villa, I have never looked back. It has been very rewarding, meeting guests from all walks of life, and share our home and our little piece of paradise. When the piece of land beside Sandpebbles became available, it was a no brainer, My husband and I decided to purchase it..
My son Jeremy and I designed it, and two years later we have SeaEsta at Bengal

What makes this property unique

FOOD AND DRINKS NOT INCLUDED.........

SeaEsta at Bengal and its sister property Sandpebbles, can be rented together, total guests, 20, great for family reunions.
