La Sirena

Apr 13, 2009 Vacation Rentals

Location : Billy's Bay, Treasure Beach / St. Elizabeth / Jamaica
Some 15-odd years ago, a family from New Mexico first discovered -- and fell in love with -- Treasure Beach, Jamaica. So, they returned to build La Sirena -- The Mermaid -- a dream of a holiday house for 1-6 guests. Privately perched unseen on a bluff overlooking the ocean and 3/4 mile long Billy's Bay beach, which it shares with local fishers and only 6 other villas. Two king size bedrooms with en suite bathrooms in marble, white- stone, and tile also open up through French doors to the pool terrace, sea breezes and sunsets. A third large bedroom with 2 twin beds and private bathroom, plus a modern green-tiled kitchen and staff bathroom complete the villa interiors. Ceiling fans throughout. A/C bedrooms. TV/DVD/ music system and internet service. La Sirena is built in a minimalist Palladian style -- all pure, gleaming white and deep marine blue. A huge central living room with built-in bancos (banquettes) opens out through mahogany-stained cedar French doors to a covered patio and terrace with plunge pool -- with views all the way down the coast to Pedro Bluff. The villa is now also wheelchair accessible from front stairs thru the entire house & pool terrace. New botanical gardens are planned to showcase the villa with a collection of traveler's, chinese and royal palms, agaves, and specimen aloe & cacti. La Sirena is set off the country road in Billy's Bay, a peaceful, quiet area -- a 10 minute drive or 20+ minute walk to Calabash Bay, restaurants, local shops and bars. Local guides are available for touring by land or sea to YS Falls, Bamboo Alley, Appleton Rum, Pelican Bar, Black River, Sunny Isles and Little Ochie, Milk River Bath, Lover's Leap, plus sport fishing, snorkeling and birding. Rentals of mt. bikes/helmets, mopeds, snorkel gear, body boards, sea kayaks and life jackets for adults/children are also available. Best of all, La Sirena includes the live-out services of Miss Ida Hill, one of the doyennes of Treasure Beach cooks, and Monica Hill as housekeeper. Airport meeting service, roundtrip transfers with PPV insured/certified private driver/vans, spa services and babysitting can be arranged for guests.
