The beach and grounds
Lawn, sand, reef, river. Kayaks, hammocks, a gazebo. And that is all you’ll need.
The house
Three bedrooms, an open living room, a kitchen, and the veranda, which does most of the work.
The first bedroom has a king bed, two singles for children, and its own bathroom. The second has two singles, the third a king, and those two share a bathroom between them. Every bed has a mosquito net and every room a fan.
Full kitchen: cooker, oven, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. A washing machine. Hot water. A high chair and a box of books and toys.
No WiFi, no air conditioning, no TV.
Who’s here
You don’t just arrive to a key and a lockbox.
Lives on the property. Caretaker, gardener, security, and if you want him to be, guide. He knows the reef, the fishermen, the river, and where the horses come down to the beach. Guests mention him more than anything else.
Housekeeping, and by arrangement, the cooking. Jamaican breakfasts, curries, whatever is in the market that day. Arranged with her directly, day by day, as much or as little as you want.
Helps Raquel in the house.
Owns the house and grew up in it. A painter, living in Scotland. Her brother is in Jamaica, and she visits often.
Three, friendly, farm dogs. They keep an eye on who comes up the lane.
Things to do
Nobody plans it.
Need to know
Things guests tell each other, so we may as well tell you.
“There may be occasional human error or even the odd wild life or mosquito visiting.” Laura
No WiFi, no AC, no TV. No parties.
Getting here: about an hour and a half from Montego Bay airport, twenty minutes from Ocho Rios, then a third of a mile down a lane. Nearest shop: a grocery, five minutes by car.
Minimum stay three nights. Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 10am.
Mosquitoes come out at sundown, so bring repellent and long sleeves. After heavy rain the river runs into the sea and it goes brown for a day or two; it clears. Bring water shoes, the shoreline is not soft sand all the way. On public holidays there is sometimes music from next door until dark. Route taxis work, but a car makes the week easier.
Hurricane Melissa came through in October 2025. The house has been repaired and is open.
