For those who knew the old house, the new Sea Island is a total metamorphosis. Dramatically renovated in 2005, the result is a spic ‘n’ span more spacious home. Interiors feature an eclectic mix of English Colonial, French and Jamaican furnishings on floors of cool white limestone and rich mahogany. Bombay chests, antiques and art, and Oriental and French linen rugs enrich the rooms.

The piece-de-resistance is the 125-foot L-shaped verandah with Italian marble tiled wet bar. Here, too, is the al fresco dining area for memorable home-cooked meals created in Sea Island’s state-of-the-art kitchen (with unique Jamaican Blue Mahoe center island,
6-burner stove, microwave, ice maker, dishwasher and much more).

Sea Island sits on seven private acres of gently sloping land with a view of the sea beyond its tennis court and lush lawn. Grounds are adorned by Royal Palms and trees bearing breadfruit, mango, naseberry, pimento and wild orchids.

Smoking is not permitted inside the house, only out of doors.
