Montego Bay

Our stay at this home was so wonderful! Tropical vibes, relaxing, homey. We all loved the pool and felt like we were in another world. We spent most of the kids nap times with the bedroom balcony doors open- reading, resting, enjoying the breeze and sounds of the island. We loved how close we were to the beach and restaurants and ice cream. We basically walked everywhere. The pool siren is a little aggressive but isn’t unique to this home. We occasionally heard other houses in the area’s pool alarms going off and it made us chuckle. Not a problem for us at all, but something for another occupant to be aware of. There were some things in the house that show it is well loved. Some of the fixtures that could be tightened, fresh paint touch ups at some point and fresh lightbulbs. All things that didn’t change the quality of our stay at all, but could freshen up the home a bit. Overall we loved our stay on Anna Maria Island and this house was a big reason it was so magical!! Thank you AMI Local!!

Thank you so much for sharing this about Montego Bay by AMI Locals, Erika! We love hearing how much your family enjoyed the tropical vibes, pool time, and those peaceful balcony moments. Being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, and ice cream really is what island life is all about. Thanks as well for the notes on the pool alarm and small touch-ups — the alarms are required for safety, and we’ll definitely share the maintenance feedback with our team to keep things feeling fresh. So glad this home helped make your AMI trip magical. We’d love to host your family again anytime!

The house was lovely and perfectly located near the beach, shopping and restaurants. The host was very responsive when we contacted them for assistance.

It worked so well for our group of 12 (ages 2 years to adults). Outside space was awesome. Beds were great!

This is our 3 year staying at this property. The location cannot be beat! We enjoyed, as always the super close proximity to the beach and walked multiple times a day. The property itself, outside of light wear, is well maintained and stocked. We always enjoy this house!

The location is perfect to walk to the beach, breakfast & dinner places. Only needed a car to get groceries.

Checkin and check out were a snap! Gorgeous home with everything you can think of. Pool was a great size for the whole family. Right in the middle of everything!!! Half a block to the beach and all the adorable shops!!! There was a small plumbing issue and they were there within 1 hour of our call to do a quick fix. I would go back in a heartbeat!!!!

Our large family stayed at this property and we had an amazing vacation. The home was beautiful with modern updates and had many unique amenities. There were multiple outdoor decks along with a roof top deck that was a hit for morning sunrises. The pool and backyard landscaping was very impressive and a hit with our family after a day at the beach. The spa heats up to very warm temps and was great at nights when the temps cooled a bit. The beach is literally just a few blocks away and a very convenient walk. The home included some beach chairs and sand umbrella. The beach with the white sand was a dream!! Coffee and ice cream shops were just around the corner from the house. We had a couple maintenance questions that AMI quickly responded to. Very responsive. We will definitely book this property the next time we visit Anne Marie Island. Thanks for the memories!!!

We loved the house. The location was great. It was a quick walk to the beach and we loved having the pool and spa at the house. There were also several restaurants to walk to near by. The only negative thing I could say is the mosquito were horrendous in the backyard day and night. Also several of us were eaten up by fire ants that were living in the bricks around the pool. I would suggest bringing bug spray and citronella candles. Other than that we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

This rental met and exceeded our expectations. The location to the beach was a hop skip and we loved the pool and hot tub in the backyard. The description of what comes with the house needs to be updated. We ended up not needing to rent a few items. The house does have a beach umbrella, plus over 7 adult bikes (we rented two kids bikes.) We purchased a pool noodle and a children's life vest (much needed! the pool is small but gets deep) and those were easily arranged thanks to the prompt concierge service that comes with the house. For an active rental, I wish the kitchen had salt. There was absolutely nothing available in the kitchen. I recommend you stock up on coffee filters (not just ground coffee), salt, oil, and any other main essential. Lastly, all the rooms were spacious and great. The only mattresses that were less than stellar were the full and twin mattresses on the bunk bed in the kids' room. Lastly, the drainage wasn't great but didn't pose a huge problem for us though I read in other reviews it was a bigger problem. Note that the drainage is slow. The heated outdoor shower was a plus though and the kids really loved it. Overall, highly highly recommend for a large family or bigger group, and hope to be back next year at this same property.

The property is wonderful for multiple families. We loved our stay and the house was wonderful! Teens enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Location is walkable to all the hot spots on Pine and the beach. Property manager was very responsive when we had a flood due to some plumbing issues in the neighborhood. It would be very helpful if the listing can show what comes with the house - such as Beach towels, bikes, beach carts, umbrella, etc. since some of our party flew down- it’s super helpful to know for example- that we didn’t need to bring beach towels. Kitchen can use a few bigger pots for cooking pasta, etc. we borrowed stuff from a neighbor.

We had an amazing week with amazing amenities! The pool area and decks were a plus as it was sometimes too windy to be at the beach. Would definitely book here again! The water pressure was bad as others stated but after we called the first night it was fixed with no problems.

Christy V. - Posted: 3/10/2020

We loved the layout and location!

Amanda A. - Posted: 11/5/2019

This house was even better in person! The layout is great, the backyard is like your own private oasis and owner supplies lots of fun extras like bicycles and pool floats! The house is also located within walking (or biking) distance of many fun attractions on the island. We had a great time!!

Sarah-Catherine E. - Posted: 8/27/2019

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Montego Bay. The house was even better than advertised and Traci (the property manager) was extremely helpful and attentive, both before our arrival and during our stay. We fell in love with Ana Maria Island and we will definitely be returning..

Jimmy J. - Posted: 7/9/2019

This house is spacious, clean, new, close to the beach, walking distance to shops and biking distance from everything else! We had a fantastic time!! We will be back!

Pleased In so many ways. Thank you for the ippoetunity to use your home. Loved javing the beachtowels accessible. And close location to the beach

Amy L. - Posted: 5/14/2019

Our stay at Magnolia House was a top notch family vacation. We stayed for a week with our four kids and their partners and three grandchildren. The house was perfect for us! The inside and outside were super clean and the location was excellent. Only a five minute walk to the best beach on Anna Maria Island! Close to the donut shop, restaurants and cafes. The numerous balconies on the house were all well furnished and well used by our family. A great place to go when you wanted a little quiet time or if you wanted to enjoy the warm breeze in the evenings. The beds were all super comfortable as well. We did however have a couple things which would have made our stay just slightly better. The water in the showers was not consistent at all switching from scorching hot to cold intermittently making it difficult to get a good shower. And considering the house sleeps 11 people there should have been more kitchen chairs around the long table. We had a difficult time seating everyone for meals and the bar stools didn't help considering they were so uncomfortable. Over all though we had an amazing vacation and would not hesitate to go back!

Alexandra S. - Posted: 5/6/2019

We had our family reunion in this beautiful home. Great house, very clean and comfortable for a large group. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit!

Laura J. - Posted: 4/3/2019

The house is located less than 2 blocks from the beach and it is within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals for a large group. We enjoyed the many decks and the crows nest for sunsets. The house also has all of the beach items you need like chairs, cart and umbrella. I would recoommend this house and would stay there again.

Stephanie S. - Posted: 4/2/2019

We really enjoyed this home. We have stayed in several homes on anna maria and this is one of the best. great location. wonderful pool and hot tub. nice layout that is conducive to large family or multiple families. Traci was also super receptive! Would love to come back again.

Amy C. - Posted: 2/27/2019

We were a multigenerational family staying over the thanksgiving week. This house was just perfect for us. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Location is perfect- just blocks from the beach and close to a few of the shops and creamery. We had 8 children at the house who enjoyed the freedom of venturing over to the creamery on their own. The pool was lovely as was the outdoor living space. It was a spotless clean home appointed with all the necessities and more. Bikes galore lined up in the garage with helmets, beach gear, and floats for the pool. We wanted for not. The manager was immediately responsive when there was a leak issue and was fixed promptly. We are already planning to come back to stay at this gorgeous home next year! Thank you!!

Hello Sabeena, Thank you so much for staying at Montego Bay. It was my pleasure to host you and your friends and family. I do hope you will visit us again soon! Thank you, Traci

Our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 toddlers) spent a long weekend and it could not have been more perfect accommodations for us. We have rented numerous houses on Anna Maria over the past 20 years -- not one have we rented twice. But this was by far the best house yet. We did bring some gates to block stairways from the toddlers, as there are multiple stairways, so it's not handicap-friendly. But it is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay in great comfort. The only thing we needed that we did not have was more time to enjoy it longer.

Charlene B. - Posted: 10/16/2018

Hello Charlene, Thank you so much for staying at Montego Bay! It was my pleasure to host you and your family. I am glad you found the home beautiful and enjoyed your stay! I do hope you will come back soon and stay longer! Thank you!

Beautiful property. Close to the beach and quaint restaurants and stores! Amazing rooftop views. Put hangers in the closets and it would be perfect.
