About this property

Private Rustic Cottage Tucked in a Tropical Garden | Pool + Beach Access

Welcome to Lil Negril Cottage at Casas de Tierra Jamaica — a cozy one-bedroom cottage tucked toward the back of our lush property in Runaway Bay, St. Ann.

Designed for couples, solo travelers, and anyone looking for a simple Jamaican getaway with character, Lil Negril offers a more intimate stay surrounded by tropical greenery, colorful flowers, palms, and fruit trees. You'll have your own private cottage while enjoying access to the shared pool and the natural beauty of the property.

Your Cottage

Lil Negril is a cozy 1-bedroom retreat designed with a rustic, natural aesthetic. The cottage features distinctive earthen-style walls, locally inspired finishes, and handcrafted touches made with reclaimed materials.

The design embraces an indoor-outdoor feel, allowing you to enjoy the tropical surroundings while still having a comfortable space to relax, recharge, and make yourself at home.

More Than Just a Place to Sleep

What makes Casas de Tierra different is the setting. Rather than a conventional hotel or resort, you're staying on a small tropical property with three individual cottages, each offering its own sense of privacy and character.

Spend time by the shared pool, enjoy the gardens, watch the palms move in the breeze, or simply take in the changing colors and sounds of the property throughout the day.

When available, seasonal fruits and vegetables from our home garden may also be available for guests to enjoy.

A Jamaican Stay With Character

The cottages at Casas de Tierra were created with an appreciation for natural and reclaimed materials. Local soil and stone are incorporated into the earthen finishes, while repurposed wood has been transformed into handcrafted furniture and other details throughout the property.

It's rustic, authentic, and intentionally different from a typical hotel stay.

Your Hosts Are Right Here

Our home is also located on the property, so we're nearby if you need assistance, recommendations, or local insight during your stay while still giving you your own private cottage space.

Explore Runaway Bay & St. Ann

Casas de Tierra is centrally located in Runaway Bay, making it a convenient base for exploring Jamaica's north coast. You'll be within easy reach of beaches, restaurants, local attractions, and popular adventures throughout St. Ann.

Whether you're planning beach days, exploring the north coast, enjoying local food, or simply looking for a comfortable home base between adventures, Lil Negril gives you a unique place to experience Jamaica.
