Location: Duncans, Jamaica, Caribbean (45 Minute Drive from Montego Bay, 5 Min Drive from Duncans)
Accommodations: Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Ocean Song is a quaint cottage surrounded by a lush and vibrant yard on a quiet lane that leads directly down to the beach. The cottage is ideal for families and friends who want to spend time together in a beautiful, relaxing setting - but can also work as a private getaway for a couple.
The cottage provides the perfect vacation setting for sunning yourself at the beach, reading a book in the shade on the patio, playing cards at the kitchen table, sitting around the living room chatting, taking a walk in the surrounding bush and neighborhood (maybe you'll spot a mongoose!), or taking a day trip to Dunns River Falls.
The cottages' three bedrooms each have an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is ready for cooking, or you can ask Joan to prepare you an authentic Jamaican meal, or something more familiar - if you prefer. Wooden shutters on screened windows surround the house, allowing the cool breezes to flow through.
The beach is typically not very busy, though the quiet, Caribbean blue waters will keep you revisiting for dips throughout the day. Not a problem when your cottage is only 100 yards away! The surf is normally very calm and ideal for allowing children to play. The sea also provides an amazing selection of interesting seashells and opportunities to observe pockets of sea life as you walk along the shoreline.
A flat screen television, cable, DVD player, and video library can keep you entertained in the evenings. Or you can walk down to Fisherman's beach (100 yards) for a Red Stripe beer at the local watering hole, Leroy's, and listen to some reggae music. There is also a takeout place there where you can get plates of fried fish or chicken. During the day, local craftsmen sell their unique handicrafts on Fisherman's Beach, or you may find a fisherman to bargain with for some of his fresh catch.

Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
The owner lives in the Washington, DC area, but escapes to Ocean Song whenever she gets the chance.
Why the Owner Chose Duncans
I really love to swim and I found the beach at Duncans Bay was absolutely ideal for swimming. The water is usually so calm and the temperature so welcoming, that I spend many hours a day swimming. Besides this, Jamaican people are very warm and welcoming. It was easy to imagine spending a lot of time with them. I also liked how convenient Ocean Song was to reach from the airport in Montego Bay.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
When you stay at Ocean Song, you are not in a gated community. You are part of a small community of homes. Jamaicans live in some, international visitors live and stay in others. The opportunity to experience Jamaican culture, rather than what's inside the walls of a resort, is part of what makes stays at Ocean Song so special. The beach is also very unique - there is very little development along it, it does not get too many visitors, and it is so picturesque!
