Runaway Bay, Jamaica
The extraordinary location of this unique cliffside home is stunning. Planted firmly on a rock ledge high above the sea, the precipice may be daunting to some. While a low stone wall wraps most of the waterfront paths, we advise parents in advance they should plan to monitor adventurous youngsters along the walkways.
Hidden Bay captures the drama of an extraordinarily elevated panorama of the blue sea and the proximity of its sandy beach. Its well-planned design attracts groups of up to 12 adults, especially two- and three-generation families. The architect listened when these homeowners ordered a full range of the comforts of a family-style home, equal accommodations for all guests, and capture of the outrageous beauty of their unique location. The interior designer added an uncluttered, immaculate style of unpretentious glamour - in short, an ideal vacation home. For those who want privacy during all this togetherness, ten individual outdoor sitting areas dot the seafront wall. A thatched-roof outdoor bar is yet another informal sitting area with tables for drinks and games.
The main house consists of 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms - approximately 4000 sq. ft
A comfy wrap-around verandah with a glorious view is the favorite gathering area. Step off the porch onto a grassy lawn, freshwater pool and terrace, and Travertine stepping stones to the piece de resistance - an open sitting area on a dramatic promontory over the sea with sweeping views from horizon to sunrise to sunset. Sunset vigils with butler-served trays of drinks and hors d'oeuvres create indelible memories of each day's long, breathtaking dusk. Cameras are mandatory.
From this promontory, a stairway leads down to a private over-the-water stone deck supported on eons-old coral rock, an enviable spot with chaises for sunning and a jumping-off point into the bay.
Or, across the lawn, walk down a Harry-Potter-style rock-clad stairway that looks like it could open to a cave, and voila! The hidden beach is a 100' stretch of sand by the sea for barefoot shell gathering, splashing in shallow waters, and for taller guests to venture into the waves. Kayaks and vests are complimentary.

This home, pools, and gardens sit solidly on a horizontal expanse of coral rock. The privacy of Hidden Bay belies its location in the heart of the historic little town of Runaway Bay. One may miss the villa's entrance gate and impressive wall that spans 450 feet along the road just feet from the sea. But do not miss the opportunity to stroll through this local Jamaican village, unspoiled by super-clubs or mega-hotels. Immediately across the street is the irresistible Best Little Pattie Shop in Jamaica. The supermarket and hardware store are in the village center. The friendly townspeople will welcome you warmly.
Groceries can be ordered, delivered, and paid for via a credit card from the local grocery store. Alternatively, guests can shop at the local grocery store near the villa using their credit card or cash.
