We definitely enjoyed staying at Elizabeth's property. Prior to our visit, she was always ready to answer any questions and address any concerns promptly. We loved the location of the condo - right in the center of town with all its restaurants/bars/food markets/souvenir, jewelry, and clothing shops. Property is very well maintained and very clean on the outside: there was a pool that we never got to use, small children playground, beach few steps away from the property itself. Property is well secured (if this is one of the concern).
Condo itself was exactly as described - clean, spacious, tons of closet space, unique in architectural way (it's bi-level with spiral staircase-if you have large suitcases, unpack downstairs, much easier that way). We had 4 adults and 1 child staying with no problems. Elizabeth added an extra bed for a child and it worked out just perfect. The condo was well stocked with pots, pans, bowls, plates, etc. It had all the appliances we needed. I was a little apprehensive about lack of stove in the beginning, but got a hold of using hot plates and there was no problem. We definitely enjoyed the outdoor patio. It was great to have a glass of wine and dinner outside with a perfect, almost unobstructed, view of the ocean. We also loved the outdoor shower and used it quite a bit (condo has 1.5 bath). It eliminated morning/evening bathroom traffic. We also took advantage of a washing machine-traveling with a child, it always comes in handy (so grab some Tide Pods with you!).
We did bunch of outdoor activities: rented a snorkeling boat right on the beach, drove to Dolphin Cove (5min), Dunn's River Falls (10min). There are plenty activities that we didn't get a chance to do, but will once return. WE LOVED THE CONDO AND WILL BE BACK!
One con (has nothing to do with the condo itself). We are a family of swimmers and were very disappointing by Ocho Rios. Beach was very clean and nice, however, water was murky, shallow and rocky. We have been spoiled by the beaches and ocean in Montego Bay and Negril - can't compare to Ocho Rios.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed staying at the condo, getting to know Ocho and its surrounding area, sampling local cuisine, and making new friends.
