This is the only little private, boutique compound we know of that offers the opportunity for you to spend day after day taking in the beauty of an abundance of birds flying over the sea, watching pelican TV diving in for fish, plus a coral reef filled with a varity of marine life. Some of the guests even swim out and back (it's just under 1 mile).
Sea Ranch Cottage (cottage closest to the ocean) and Rasta Ranch Cottage sit directly on the water, with a small sandy beach just steps from your door.
Sea Ranch Cottage:
Each furnished cottage features a large living/dining porch with privacy shades, ceiling and table fanned bedrooms with queen size bed, fully-equipped kitchen, private bathroom -- and unique open-air showers with reliable electric hot water, outside in a walled garden of flowering vines.
Jamaican paintings, carvings and books abound. CD/radio players. Sea kayaks, hammocks, jetty with chairs, tables and lounge areas -- there isn't much you need to do here other than decompress, listen to waves and watch the birds fly by...it your own little slice of Jamaican heaven.
If you do not feel like cooking yourself or dinnning out at a handful of good little restaurants (either within walking distance or very short drive -- you can always get it to go), Laga, on of your trusted Yardies can be hired for local marketing, cooking and dinner service - he uses a separate cookhouse with freezer-fridge and oven. His fee is US$15 + supplies.
Rasta Ranch Cottage:
One hour from MoBay and Negril, yet off the beaten track in a traditional fishing village, Sea Ranch and Rasta Ranch at Horizon have been featured in Caribbean Travel & Life: Jamaica's Hidden Coast.
Seaside pavilion and jetty. Sea kayaking, snorkeling and horseback riding nearby. Horizon comes w/ housekeeper, dinner cook, boatmen, gardener and night watchman. Tour guides are also available for wherever you want to explore: YS Falls, the Blue Hole Gardens, Black River, Whitehouse market, Appleton Rum.
