Overview
Villa Dreams is a beautiful holiday villa in Jamaica’s famed town of Ocho Rios. The home was built by Scottish Lord, The Earl of Mansfield and is now owned by members of the Red Stripe Beer family.
The villa has been renovated, making everything feel and look shiny and new. Neutral toned walls are paired with vivid block colour, and smooth Italian Travertine fit nicely with homely mahogany floors. Scotch is spacious and relaxed. Wooden dining tables & chairs are rustic and beautiful, making for a fun and sociable dining experience courtesy of your in-house cook who won’t hesitate to concoct an authentic Jamaican treat. The villa’s tropical garden has plenty of secret places to meditate and relax in.
A stone table and benches provide space for peaceful contemplation. From the home, you will find stone steps leading down to a private and sparklingly clear cove where you can swim, snorkel, kayak or simply unwind in the shallow waters. Two adjacent benches sit under a shelter on a waterfront deck, which is a wonderful way to enjoy the serenity of the water without actually getting wet. The waterfront deck sits in the shallow end of the sea beside an outdoor shower for washing off any remnants of sand.
Villa Dreams is any beach lovers paradise and the plethora of outdoor space takes full advantage of the brilliant climate.

If you want pure luxury, then I can recommend Scotch on the Rocks!
We had the most amazing time at Scotch on the Rocks. This place is perfection, a paradise here on earth by the sea. There is a full staff, housekeeper, cook, butler, gardener and security guard who treat you with care and concern. The rooms are large, airy and comfortable and each has a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. The food is 4 star and their cook should receive a medal. The grounds are full of flowers, shady areas with benches and tables, plus paths to follow. Birds fly around and butterflies. The pool is wonderful and the dock on the sea has everything.

AMAZING
This place is AMAZING and I feel like I'm
"chasing the dragon" trying to find places as beautiful and comfortable! -
Not to be missed!
If you’re looking for an amazing day from start to finish, look no further! The stunning views of the sea are how you begin your day and it only gets better from there. The staff is outstanding, always there for you but not invasive; the food delicious and fresh, and the cook was most accommodating to our dietary needs. The home is beautifully appointed with and all doors leading to outdoor patios to enjoy the ocean breezes. The rooms and the beds are comfortable with high quality linens. The ocean gazebo is equipped with kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear and there are coral reefs all around to explore. If you prefer the pool then rely refinished pool is perfect for relaxing. An amazing vacation for families, couples or bff’s not to be missed!

Amazing Vacation
This property exceeded our expectations. We have booked houses online before and we are never certain if the online pictures will match the reality. In this case, reality was better than the pictures.
The location is amazing - right on the ocean. The balcony overlooks the water and there are easy steps down to the ocean dock. We spent our time at the dock swimming or on the balcony relaxing.
Where this property really stands out though is the staff. They take care of absolutely everything for you - cooking, groceries, cleaning, laundry, entertaining, scheduling tours, shopping - your vacation is complete relaxation.
We went with friends and had a fantastic time. As soon as we left, we started planning our next trip to bring our children to this outstanding vacation spot.
The location is great, the house and ocean are amazing - but what made this out best vacation ever was the wonderful and kind staff. We most definitely will be back!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
