Nickels Garden Villas

The property was nice and small enough for two couples or siblings two siblings but other than that it was a beautiful property it just wasn’t big enough for me with the amount of family and friends that wanted to visit me and visited me

The Wi-Fi was gone I believe a day and a half or two which was very devastating. There was no cleaning stuff for me to clean the property so I had to purchase cleaning stuff which was not good enough for me because sometimes you just don’t have the money to hire cleaners so I was a bit disappointed that the cleaning stuff as well as the bags that you put in the bin were locked up

Clean and had good utensils

Very far from mid town Montego Bay

The home was very homie and comfortable the owner was amazing at getting back to you asap if you have any concerns or questions. AC in each bedroom was a plus there’s everything you can use in the kitchen the washer is there but is only used to owners discretion so you need to request use house was in a gated community with security 24/7 a little bit out of town and the roads are a little bit close but it’s worth it for the comfort and safety to me also if you want to be home away from home without the resort feeling will definitely stay again

The property was beautiful and super clean. I love the Master Bedroom and bed. The patio is my favorite location, especially at night time. Tremendous amount of closet space, and all of the basic amenities a person can need.

Location

The location was good. Area nice. Place clean and decorated nice. They have all utensils and things to make meal. I like the complimentary water they give out. I forget a package when I checked out and The next day they helped my cousin to access and grab it.

The bed is a sleighed bed that doesn’t require a box spring but they have one which makes bed way too high. I had to hold on to the headboard and pull myself on the bed when I want to get on. They do give you a step stool to use but I trip over it the next morning so that was the end of my relationship with that. There was only a/c in the bedroom and they had ceiling fan in living room plus one was in the bed room. so it was hot in the living room. The remote control that they have at the facility. So the firT time I went the person helped me open the door remotely. That Made me uncomfortable so I would lock my bedroom door at night. Then the next day I came back and the bedroom A/c remote is on 24 and not the 18 I left it on, and lights I turned off was on. Nervous and scared but I push thru. Started putting a glass vase they have in the centre table behind the main door. I must mention I was at the Airbnb by myself. Then the Thursday was the final when I left lights and a/c off and came back and everything was on. Then I called my cousin and reached out to the person for the airbnb I was communicating with and informed him it was creepy that someone is entering the place without notifying me. He asked why I said that and I told him. He that said it is the wifi, and it just like how he help me to access. I just finish the conversation that remote control help can still feel creepy. Furniture shows some wear. Light is not good just ok especially if you need it for a tattoo. I wouldn’t stay there again because of the lack of a/c in living room and the remote access. I was uncomfortable with the remote access. Oh the contact person did send a video to prove that no one enter the unit except me and the guy I brought there the Wednesday .

Every thing was good the ac is good nice place with good security I like it I will stay here again

I like everything and it is near to the town centre

It was will kept and had a full kitchen.

The location to town was too far.

There was good WiFi, apartament was clean and kitchen was fully equipped. Host Andrew was very kind and helpful before arrival as well as over the stay. Has recommended taxi driver, who can support in giving a ride to the villa as well as around the local attractions. Villa has two bedrooms, living room with kitchen and bathroom and is located in peaceful and protected/closed neighborhood.

Location is pretty far away from the city center. Required is either car or taxi ride.

The house is very well maintained, the kitchen is well equipped and the room is spacious. The house is located in a safe complex of villas 15 minutes drive outside of Montego Bay. The owner has been great in responding to all my messages before arriving, during my stay and after check-out giving me a lot of tips to help me during my stay in Jamaica

This property was clean, close to everything and is worth more than what the property charges. A beautiful steal!

Everything was great. Will stay here every time I visit Jamaica!

The host was very responsive

Clean and location

N/a

The villa is located in a gated community, the community itself is quiet and the environment is quiet and peaceful. The self check in process was a breeze. The home is very clean and you can tell they pay attention to detail. The aesthetics are very modern and the beds are very comfortable. The air conditioning is very cold and can be modified to your liking. Thank you Andrew for sharing your space with us, we will be back soon

Comfortable and clean, perfect for all types of travellers. The price point is also great and the location is very close to all that we could need.

We have a wonderful stay at Nickels, finding the location was very easy, checking in was even easier. Beautiful decor, comfortable beds, welcoming and caring host, the sunrises are amazing and the peace and quiet of the home and the community left me with a sense of relaxation and wanting to come back for sure to Nickels.

There are villas and then there is nickels garden villas. Imagine staying at an Airbnb that feels like a hotel but is relaxing without the humongous price, that is what you get with Nickels. Bed sandals, robes, snacks and beverages, make up remover, shampoo, conditioner and all the toiletries you would find in an hotel, led lighted bathroom mirror, AC in the villa and rooms. You get a full kitchen a big sofa, comfortable beds, very clean villa, did I mention it is a smart home. Nickels makes you want to come back to Jamaica as they treat you with appreciation. I loved my stay and have recommended them to many of my friends. They are a cut above the rest 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 friendly too 😊

A fantastic home away from home. I had everything I needed and I felt comfortable. It was quiet and peaceful. I just needed to relax while taking a break from work and I got just that. The breakfast was superb! It’s very clean there, so I decided to leave a tip. Thank you for accommodating me 😊

The location was perfect for me. The host was helpful in getting and finding all I need. Thank you for sharing your beautiful villa with me and you will definitely be seeing me again.

Beautiful comfortable home with a/c in room. Very clean and neat. Owner gave clear instructions on how to enter home and allowed me to check in early. Will highly recommend.

This is the perfect place to come to when you want to unwind after working long hours and saving for vacation. The staff were wonderful and made my stay that much better. I would recommend staying here 100%

The journey from airport to the villa was very short and quick. Finding the villa was also very easy, check in was super and no hassle. Entering the villa you know this place is very clean and well kept, you could smell the cleanliness, if you know you know. The sofa was very big and the beds were very comfortable, they come fully recommended by myself and the kids. The bathroom is very very clean and I am big on areas in a space being clean. the outside space was very quiet and relaxing on the senses. There were plenty for the kids to do so that was a plus. The host made our stay so easy, Andrew ensured all our needs were catered to and he wa a listening ear. I will definitely stay here everything I am in Jamaica 🇯🇲

The villa was fine aside from the construction happening throughout our day, directly behind the room, and gum stuck in the bed head pointed out our toddler. But most of all- the host. The host was very rude and dismissive. Hard to like anything about the property with a host like that.

I had attached pictures that would speak for themselves, but site did not approve them due to the language in them from the host as 1 reason. The host told me to go eat waste (explicit) when I shared what I had requested from booking after the host started accusing me. I also reviewed this same post on Google (images available on that review) highlighting that I’ve blurred the links to protect our MINOR children and car plates for our public safety. The host decided to respond with the ring share links for the whole world to see our children and family movement. You can also find the host’s condescending responses under lower rating reviews. DISCLAIMER: The host has audio recording along with the ring share but doesn’t disclose this on the invoice- just video surveillance. So they just have recordings of your communications- breach of privacy. Thankfully the neighbours had loud music going that could blur some of our conversations and allow us some level of privacy in the ring share links the host publicized. My reservation was cancelled on the 2nd of 3 days at this location. I got the notification at around 4am, and responded as soon as I saw it, a little later in the morning. Andrew informed me that my booking was cancelled due to a “bookkeeping error”, but that the rest of my stay would not be affected. I said no problem. Then I realized that the reason posted for the cancellation was “invalid credit card information”. Now that there implicates MY character and reflects on MY profile with Booking- for which I’ve been using for reservations for some years now and have a good relationship with. I asked Andrew to look into this error, as I didn’t appreciate the chosen reason, as my payment had already gone through. He made me pay through PayPal (never had to do this in all my years with Booking) and it even accumulated a $7 US processing fee that was not on my total from booking. Please see full review on Google reviews for location.

Communication from booking to check out from the host was immaculate. All the information you will need for your stay and after stay is provided seamlessly. The community is a middle class gated community that has its own police station inside the gates, which is something I have never seen before, this gives an extra level of security. The community is very clean and quiet. You can see that there is sense of community togetherness. There is a lake and a children’s playground in the community as you make your way to the villa. Upon arrival, there are parking spaces for up to 4 cars on the property, which is really nice for groups. Check in was a breeze, I used my unique code to log on to the WiFi and to enter. This is where you will be amazed, upon opening the door of the villa, the pictures does it no justice. It is so beautiful and chic, like home but better, the aroma of the home tell you this place is very clean, even tiles seem to have a glossy look. The living room has a sofa set that can fit up to 6 persons and even has a bible for readers. The tv comes with Netflix, cable and local tv. The kitchen has all the things you would need on vacation, a very big refrigerator, a 6 burner stove and oven, microwave, dining table, a lot of cupboard space, kettle, Keurig coffee maker, toaster and much more. The bedroom is a delight, it gives you the feeling of somewhere to just unwind and rest after a short or long trip and just take a long nap. Very well staged and not crowds. The AC blows cold and the Nickels Garden Villas branded blankets are of a very high quality, I have to give them a thumbs up for that. The bathroom is ultra modern and the amenities given are top tier items that you would find in a 4 star hotel, that was a very good touch. The towels are of a very high quality. The hot water very nice and the lighted LED mirror and blow dryer are a very nice touch. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful. They gave recommendations and Jamaican snacks 😁

Had everything felt just like home

Nothing just perfect

Very nice and clean

Space and convenience

First, we really enjoyed that it was in a gated community. I personally enjoyed the porch area. It was nice to go out in the morning and sit in the peace of quiet and fresh air. Collectively my family and I enjoyed the aesthetics of the place. It was nicely decorated in comfort. My boys especially loved the comfort of their beds and the TVs during their downtime. (They made sure that I added that part) Nickels .. Villas was such a sweet hidden away place to call home while we were on holiday. Though you do have neighbors, there is still a balanced seclusion as they stay to themselves. You can open the door (minding the mosquito’s and flies) let in the fresh air, while playing some relaxing music. It has super convenient amenities; smart house capabilities(Alexa) A.C, microwave, coffee maker etc (You will need to get coffee: k-cups) and a camera outside on the property. I do not think anyone would regret staying at Nickels Gardens. We don’t regret it and will definitely be returning with opportunity.

I want to preface … these aren’t necessarily things I “didn’t like” about the property but will submit so that the next visitors aren’t “surprised.” (We didn’t mind as much per general understanding.) There is a little wear and tear on the house from lots of use-from visitors for example, loose faucets in the bathroom and kitchen as well as the toilet seat. We also didn’t have any EXTRA towels or sheets handy in case we needed some during our stay. (And/or It would have been nice to have a mini washing powder/liquid to wash laundry.) This is not a big deal but I understand this is a consideration for others. So I’d treat it more like a heads up. Also if you don’t already know this, the roads in Jamiaca can be rather bumpy-including leading up to your stay. So be prepared. Lastly, mosquitoes and flies will waste no time getting in take lots of bug spray/wipes.

Grateful for the space

No complaints

I would recommend this place for single travellers and family, it was a very comfortable stay

The villa is located in a gated community close to the city and it even has its own Police station inside the gated community. When you arrive at the villa, there is a driveway that is suitable for up to 2 cars with additional parking on the outside. The garden on the outside was blooming and the grass was well kept. We also saw some of the neighbours and they were very friendly. The community itself is very quiet, perfect for peace and relaxation. Inside the villa is very modern and is very clean. It has all the things you would find at home which made the stay super comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and the AC was very nice. Andrew attended to all our needs and ensured that we got our vacation off on the right foot and ended our vacation with a smile on our face. For the price, you get way more than you pay for and that was a definite plus . I have already booked 2 weeks in the new year and can’t wait to come back to Nickels

I have been to many Airbnb’s and I must say Nickels Garden Villas is #1 and I do not see anyone surpassing them. This place is a breath of fresh air with a very modern take on hosting. Even the light switches are futuristic, which shows attention to details. The gated community is also very quiet and the sofa and beds are among the most comfortable I have seen anywhere. No need for keys, you are given a personalised code to enter and even a personalised code for the Wi-Fi. We were assigned a personal driver throughout our trip which made life just that much easier. The only place I will stay while in Montego Bay is definitely Nickels ✅

Nice and quiet great safe area it was home away from home. Excellent service from the staff. The best in a Jamaica. Definitely will be back loveeeee it.exceptional

Everything was perfect

I liked that it was equipped with ac in the bedroom

It was a bit far from the center city so I highly recommend having a private vehicle to get there.

Everything was great Didn’t have any issue

Everything was good from the location to the home itself beautiful property

Everything

The home is exactly as mentioned. The area is safe, secure & welcoming. It’s quiet as well. The home itself was super comfortable you’ll feel like you’re at home by bedtime on the first night. Nickels kept in communication and always answered. We will be returning for another stay.

It was clean and comfortable.

No hot water TV in bedroom not working One remote control for the whole house Kitchen chair broken Only one side of the toaster worked We couldn't use the oven because we had a hard time lighting it. The lighter they had for us to use didn't work and we were asked to ask the neighbor for a lighter. When we were leaving at the end of our stay 2 women approached the house and said that they will lock up. I told them that Andrew didn't tell me that anybody was coming so I wasn't leaving them the lock but then to.my surprise one of the women introduced themselves as Cherrie. I think she should have introduced herself first. The woman that was with her was looking at me so mean. I will not stay there again.

We had a great stay, the property was clean, well kept, left toiletries. Nothing was a problem when we asked for help, we was answer within minutes. We even ask for help with a taxi from the airport which the host kindly help us with. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, neighbours were friendly and helpful when I got a little lost.

Living room was very hot and humid Could do with Air-conditioning in the living area, maybe something to look into in the future.

loved the place

couldn’t smoke in the house.. but they accommodate and have ashtrays outside.. that was nice of them, and the 🪰 didn't like them too much. Lol it was fine cause the place made up for all that.

I like the comforting feeling of being there...and i like the fact that it's quiet....i didn't want to leave....being there brings a piece of mind

just the roads leading there but i understand they are working it on so it'll be better to drive on soon.

WiFi was good.Property was clean.Very good value for money.

Kettle & toaster were very slow,maybe an idea to replace.Minor issue.

Not one complaint host was assuring and nice.

N/A

The house was clean and nice. It was in a scheme with a guard so added protection. The owner responds immediately to any questions you have or to let you know when someone is coming to do something. The driver Merlene was very helpful with getting me transportation to places and I want to thank her specially for getting a very good hairdresser who did a wonderful job on my daughter and my hair. Thank you Andrew for the great hospitality.

No little side store or shop to walk to.

The property was very very clean

The bed in the main bedroom was too high off the floor very uncomfortable to get into.
