One of Jamaica's most fabulous Great Houses
in Montego Bay! Lavish in luxury in this spacious Plantation Mansion!
The Jamaica Mansion, a modern day Jamaican Great House, is an
ideal choice for a vacation villa rental in the Montego Bay area.
Set on 5 acres and elevated 150' above the Caribbean Sea, the
Jamaica Mansion offers beautiful views of the sea to the north
and the mountainous interior to the south. Located in Rose Hall,
8km east of Montego Bay's international airport (MBJ), the Jamaica
Mansion is ideally situated to take advantage of the numerous
golf courses, beaches, hill walks and attractions of Montego Bay
and Jamaica's North Coast.
The Grounds
The Jamaica Mansion consists of 5 acres of land on which is set
the Great House, the Guest House, the Staff Quarters, the Pool
and Pool House.
The Great House is situated to offer the most spectacular views
of the sea, and also to enjoy the cool breezes that descend from
the mountains in the evening. The 5 acres surrounding the house
include the orchards with a collection of citrus and other Jamaican
fruits - depending on the season, from our gardens you can pick
fresh oranges, grapefruits, limes, ackee, breadfruit, avocados,
mangos, custard apples and noni. Not to be outdone by the fruit,
there is a plethora of flowering plants to enjoy outdoors as well
as to cut and bring indoors.
The Great House
The Great House is two stories tall. The main floor consists of
the entrance foyer with a soaring 30' ceiling and sweeping staircase
leading up to the second floor. To the east is the Living Room,
24' by 40', where you'll find seating for 12 and a card table
for 4. The television with cable is located in this space. The
14' ceilings float above, and with windows to the south, facing
the mountains, and the north, facing the seas, the views and breeze
are sublime. Through the foyer is the formal Dining Room with
seating for 12 at 2 tables.
There are 5 double French doors which open onto the porches towards
the sea to allow the breeze through. To the west is the less formal
Outdoor Dining Room, the location where most guests chose to eat
their meals. This informal space allows you to look out to sea
and enjoy the colors of the Caribbean, or, at night, the passing
lights of cruise ships.
To the east of the formal Dining Room and north of the Living
Room, you will find the Sitting Porch, 16 by 40, where again the
family and most guests will spend their social time. With seating
for 9, this is an area in which to relax, read a book, gaze out
to sea and have evening cocktails. The Kitchen is found beyond
the dining rooms, and the Staff Quarters are located beyond the
western side of the house.
Upstairs bedroom: 2 Double beds and views to the ocean
Up the stairway, you will find 2 bedrooms and the sun porch. Each
bedroom in the Great House occupies approximately 24' by 40' and
each has attached bathrooms. The East Bedroom consists of one
king size bed (a beautiful antique Jamaican bed that sits a little
high - there is a step stool to help step up to the bed), one
double bed, a sitting area (consisting of one couch and two armchairs)
along with dressers and desk.
There is over 20' of closet space, a double vanity along with
tub and toilet. The West Bedroom holds 2 double beds, several
armchairs and about 15' of closet. The bathroom has a large walk-in
shower in place of a tub. Both bedrooms offer views south to Flower
Hill and north over the Caribbean Sea.
Bedroom 2 - Upstairs with queen bed, large sitting area
Bedroom 3 - downstairs with 2 queen beds, opening up to grassy
pathway leading to swimming pool.
Bedroom 4: Queen bed with ocean views and french doors opening
up to the garden and swimming pool
The bedrooms are air conditioned, each bedroom with its own controls,
but the nightly prevailing breezes blow through the rooms and
keep the bedrooms comfortably cool for sleeping. In the morning
you will likely awake to the sounds of green parrots and doves.
Step through the French doors at the top of the stairs and you
will find yourself on the sun porch which runs the length of the
house, about 16' by 80', and affords a terrific view of the sea.
Beautiful in the early morning or late in the day, it is an ideal
spot to stretch, meditate and quietly enjoy the view and surroundings.
The Guest House
The guest house sits to the east of the great house and is accessed
through the Living Room via a breezeway.
There are 2 bedrooms in the Guest House. The North Bedroom is
furnished with a king size bed, which is hard to leave in the
morning as there is a large bay window offering views of the Caribbean
while lying in bed. Also, there are double French doors leading
out toward the Pool House. The South Bedroom contains 2 double
beds and also has French doors leading to the Pool House. There
is one bathroom in the guest wing for the guests of both the North
and South Bedrooms.
Pool and Pool House
The oval-shaped pool is approximately 20' by 40' and, due to the
slope in the yard, elevated at one end - offering exposure to
wonderful breezes and views down over the Half Moon Golf Course.
The Pool House sits to the south of the pool and is a shaded area
that is an ideal location for lunch or afternoon snacks.
The Staff
The staff consists of a cook, the housekeeper and two grounds
persons. Work with the cook to coordinate meals and any special
dietary needs or concerns. The staff can accompany you on shopping
trips to the nearby stores and markets. The housekeeper will take
care of the cleaning of the living space and will also take care
of any laundry needs you may have.
