About this property

Secluded retreat with lush landscaped gardens where nature takes center stage.

Nestled in a tranquil corner of the property beneath gracefully overhanging trees, the Arbor Cottage offers a secluded retreat with ample natural shade.

This charming cottage overlooks a stunning panorama of tropical foliage cascading toward the Caribbean Sea. Inside, beautifully crafted woodwork with a warm, honey-toned finish enhances the inviting atmosphere. The open design, complemented by large window banks, draws the surrounding gardens indoors. Six-foot roof overhangs, high ceilings, and ceiling fans help keep the interior naturally cool and breezy.

The accommodations include two bedrooms; one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed, adjoined by a shared bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen provides all essential amenities for a comfortable stay. The living room features a striking twelve-foot window seat offering serene views of the gardens and sea beyond, and the dining area comfortably seats four.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a shaded garden ideal for barbecuing or simply relaxing (“liming”). This outdoor oasis includes a flagstone terrace, additional seating, and is surrounded by lush, mature trees, creating a peaceful and private haven for guests.w

A Living Legacy at Englishman’s Bay

This property is deeply rooted in a legacy of thoughtful design and environmental stewardship. My father, an American citizen, made Englishman’s Bay his home for over 20 years. As an architect, landscape designer, and passionate environmentalist, he dedicated himself to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty and ecological health of the Englishman’s Bay Estate.

Since his passing, I have lovingly taken over the care of the property and remain committed to honoring and continuing his vision. Every pathway, garden, and view reflects a deep respect for nature, intentional design, and a desire to share this extraordinary place with others in a meaningful and sustainable way.

Why they chose this property

If you love nature like I do, you'll be impressed with the natural beauty of the Englishman's Bay Estate with its views of mountains, bay, beach and sea. The cottages and landscaping were thoughtfully designed to be in harmony with nature. Follow stone pathways and trelices carved into the hillside that trail throughout the property, showcasing the beauty of the area.

What makes this property unique

A Peaceful Tropical Retreat

Set within a lush tropical forest, the cottage offers a serene and restful escape. Awaken to the melody of birdsong and unwind to the gentle rhythm of waves rolling onto the nearby beach. This natural symphony creates the perfect ambiance to disconnect from the world, lose yourself in nature, and find yourself at peace.
