“Great host, and great apartment.”
Stayed with Monty in their BLVD heights apartment for 8 months. Their team was a pleasure to work with, and extremely responsive. Nouman was the lead, and he was always helpful and responsive during several extensions, and whenever there were any issues. Great host, and great apartment. Will certainly use them in the future.

Questions owners ask
Jumeirah Golf Estates holiday home management: FAQ
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call our homeowner line on +971 52 202 1599.
Can I still spend holidays in my JGE villa?
Yes. With no long-term tenant in the villa, you can block dates for your own holidays, and it stays free to sell or move into later.
Can I run my JGE villa as a holiday home?
Yes. Villas and apartments in JGE can be registered as holiday homes with DET, subject to the community's rules, which we check before you commit.
Who books holiday homes in JGE?
Families and groups who want a garden and a pool, golfers, and visitors to events and exhibitions, with a lift during DP World Tour Championship week in November.
How is a villa different from an apartment?
More to look after: the pool, the garden, more linen and cleaning time, and clear house rules for groups. We explain it in why a villa is not just a bigger apartment and stop managing luxury villas like oversized apartments.
How do you protect my villa?
Guest screening, house rules, an inspection after every stay and fast maintenance. If something does go wrong, here is how guest damage is handled.
How far is JGE from the beach?
Around 20 minutes by car to Dubai Marina and JBR, depending on traffic, which most villa guests are happy to trade for the space.
