The villa
Location: Little Bay, Jamaica, Caribbean (10 miles from Negril and 1-1/2 hours drive from Montego Bay.)
Accommodations: Villa, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 11)
Secluded swimming lagoons, gardens with papaya and bananas, miles of unspoiled beaches and cliffs, dazzling bougainvillea and hibiscus, a staff that caters to your wishes, ideal snorkeling reefs and spectacular sunsets - no discos - no traffic!!! A Caribbean island at the turn of the century?? No, this is Lookout Cove in the small village of Little Bay on the sunny southwestern tip of Jamaica TODAY!
Welcome to Little Bay! Located ten miles from the famous town of Negril and only a scenic one and a half hour drive from the Montego Bay airport, it is a quiet fishing village with two sandy beaches separated by a half mile of low cliffs.
A short walk from either beach lays Lookout Cove, situated on its own private three and a half acres of tropical splendor next to the sea. Lookout Cove is very private and removed from the onslaughts of commercial tourism.
The only people you need to see are Shorty, Margaret, Niah and Senty, who are more like family than staff. They cook whatever you wish, clean, show you the village, and make sure that there are always fresh flowers in your bedroom.
If one wants to venture out, there are caves to explore in Little Bay, deep-sea fishing and miles of deserted beaches within minutes. The native fishermen are more than happy to sell you lobster or tuna right from their dugout canoes. The restaurants, shops and nightlife of Negril are also nearby should you get the urge to join the maddening crowds.
This 5000 square-foot villa reveals pure oceanfront luxury within three levels of magnificent living areas:
· The ground floor has a huge covered porch where you can sit and catch ocean breezes or look out on the bougainvillea, papaya and other flowers
· The living room and dining area are large and furnished with locally made rattan furniture and decorated with native art
· The dining room, whether set for an intimate romantic dinner for two or a festive party for ten, is perfect for candlelit dining consisting of fare such as Jamaican ‘Jerk’ specialties, lobster, fresh fish, or local chicken along with the usual huge garden salad and fresh fruit.
Upstairs there are three large master bedrooms with a total of four double beds and three three-quarter beds that are hand carved with mermaids and Spanish galleons. Each bedroom opens out onto another huge level of covered porch and more spectacular views. The two spacious upstairs bathrooms and the downstairs bathroom are decorated with unusual tropical fish tiles. A beautiful spiral staircase leads from the second floor up to the third floor "Lookout", where one can sip morning coffee or evening cocktails and watch breath-taking sunrises and sunsets;
Beside the villa, amidst the lush tropical foliage, is a tennis court for your sporting pleasure. There is also a golf course nearby should you wish to challenge the links.
Down by the water is the large cabana where you can cool down and enjoy stunning scenery after your athletic endeavors.
The Villa at Lookout Cove is a luxurious oceanfront estate comprised of secluded lagoons, tropical gardens, and unspoiled beaches and cliffs. Also included are ideal snorkeling reefs, spectacular sunsets, and a friendly staff that caters to your wishes!!!
If you are looking to truly vacation, where you can relax and be pampered, this spectacular villa in the midst of a small friendly Jamaican fishing village could be your getaway vacation of a lifetime!
