Between the quiet towns of Port Maria and Oracabessa rests a 9-bedroom hillside St. Mary villa overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Sandy’s Oceanview Villa boasts 4 levels with a sweeping view of the rolling blue waves. Tucked in the corner of a road off the A3 highway, the location will satisfy whatever level of peace and tranquility you may be craving. From the entrance you’d never guess just how grand the inside is until you begin roaming in the company of on-site staff, ‘Baboo’ and Yvonne.

Let’s take a look inside this St. Mary villa, shall we?

Top Floor at Sandy’s OceanView St. Mary Villa

The top level includes 3 bedrooms, inclusive of a Master Bedroom that’s selectively available for rent. A shared bathroom is situated between these 2 rooms, while the Master Bedroom has its own bathroom.

Just outside the 3 rooms lies a shared living space with a comfortable collection of seating options between the mounted TV and balcony gateway. Have your seating pick from couches, arm chairs, round table seats, and cushioned stools that dominate the space. A kitchenette by the dining layout in the living area is equipped with a stove, microwave and cooking utensils to prepare meals if desired.

Top Floor Double Bedrooms

• Double bed
• Chest of drawers
• Workstation
• Seating
• Standing fan
• Shared bathroom

Third Floor at Sandy’s OceanView St. Mary Villa

Walking past the welcome sign and door actually takes you inside the 3rd floor level. The outside entrance to Sandy’s Oceanview Villa first leads to a spacious viewing veranda populated with lounge chairs. The floor’s shared living space has an old-world charm with a sizeable sepia globe and drawer stand that supports a plasma TV. Daybeds line the walls opposite to a chandeliered dining area, which is next to a full kitchen. This is where Cook & Housekeeper, Yvonne, will likely create tasty Jamaican meals for your pleasure if you opt for it.

This floor has 4 rooms, inclusive of a Master Bedroom. The Master Bedroom’s lure is its large glass windows facing the sea; imagine being awoken by the sunlight gradually filling the room! This room has a king size bed, chest of drawers, sizeable closet, workstation, standing fan, private bathroom with step-in shower, plus direct access to the balcony.

Third Floor Master Bedroom

Two of the rooms on this floor are connected, 1 with accommodation for 2 and the other for 4. The other room on this level is more popular with kids due to its size and playfully-painted walls.

• Sitting area

The shared space on this level is for 2 floors: this one and the one below. It’s comprised of a dated TV, small couches, woven throne-like chairs around a game table, and of course a doorway leading to a balcony view. A short flight of stairs at the side of the room will reveal the final set of accommodations below.

• Small windows

• Single seating area
• Chest of drawers
• Closet

Base Floor at Sandy’s OceanView Villa

Decorative tree paintings continue on the ground floor, which is used entirely for accommodation. What surprised me was that it too has its own doorway and patio area with a view! Scenery is clearly of importance at Sandy’s Oceanview Villa (as it should be).

First Floor Accommodations

• 2 Single beds
• Dining area with placements for 4
• Dinnerware cabinet
• Microwave
• Kitchen

Sandys Ocean Villa Garden & Event Space

The lush gardens of the estate and its surroundings create a lovely venue for outdoor events. Need I say more with various fruit trees, big bright flowers, and greenery complemented by mountains and the sea? What tops it all off: sweet sounds of nature. I’m talking birds sweetly chirping overtime from before the sun rises (I know this because I watched the sunrise here), and crickets taking over when dusk falls into night. If your event needs nature’s décor and a generous space, Sandy’s Oceanview Villa can definitely be taken into consideration.

Villa Massage Service overlooking St. Mary, Jamaica

What’s one way to make this getaway even more relaxing? Get-a-massaaaage! This year has so far been my year of spa treatments, clearly. Seemed to have gotten out a lot of knots in my first deep tissue massage a few weeks prior at an all-inclusive resort spa package, because this 2nd time around was a lot less intense.

Masseuse Racquel is very deliberate and takes her sweet time rubbing out the tension points in her ~40min-long massage session. She’ll smooth you out with a scented essential oil as you lie on the covered table appropriately stationed on the balcony. From your neck to your toes, her industrious yet gentle fingertips will relieve you of any unnecessary tightness and stress. If you’re one for conversation during the massage, she’ll provide that too (at no extra charge lol) with her engaging personality. A quick post-massage testimonial included “sis got out all the stress of the 90s and 2000s”.

Special thanks to the great staff at Sandy’s Oceanview Villa for making our stay as comfortable as able! If this sounds like your type of getaway, find rates and details here that meet your getaway needs.
