Emerald Seas is an elegant two-level private home built into a mountainside beside the blue-green Caribbean Sea. Stone steps wind down through a bougainvillea-draped walkway to a sunning platform on the clear buoyant water for which Emerald Seas is named. Wonderful snorkeling can be enjoyed on this coral reef. The open-plan living room leads to a 500-square-foot verandah and panoramic ocean view. Plump cushions on white wicker furniture make this upstairs porch a peaceful haven for morning coffee, reading, napping and star-gazing. Also on the main floor are the four large bedrooms, each overlooking the deep blue water.

Glass doors open from the pool terrace to the family room ... equipped with bar, games, television and sound system.. Speakers fill the lower level and pool terrace with music. The family room can be used as a fifth bedroom with kingsize or twin beds and en-suite bath.

The inside dining room is built into a natural rock formation. Just outside are the al fresco dining area and large private pool. Long sunsets from the pool terrace are breathtaking. Standing against the railings on verandahs or pool terrace, it is easy to imagine being on the prow of a ship gliding smoothly over the sea. The soothing sound of the surf is ever present, from the spacious bedrooms to the outdoor dining area. Candlelight dinners sometimes are enchanted by the dramatic show of distant lightning on the night horizon.

Emerald Seas’ state-of-the-art kitchen and creative chef merit special mention. Equipment includes a bread-maker,waffle-maker, ice cream maker, microwave, Jenn-Aire, Cuisinart, dishwasher and icemaker. Each morning, the aroma of today’s fresh-baked bread lures guests to the breakfast table. The outside barbecue treats guests to special dinners of tenderloin, chicken, fresh fish and lobster.

On request butler will arrange water sports: jet skis, water skiing, private fishing trips on 32 to 58 luxury boats, beach-hopping on a private 38‘ speed boat, moonlight champagne cruises, snorkeling and Dunn’s River trips.

Despite its privacy, Emerald Seas is just minutes from lively Ocho Rios with shopping, restaurants and nearby attractions including famous Dunn’s River Falls, Dolphin Cove and James Bond Beach.

• Dear Linda,If I could take a moment of your time to express our gratitude to you for allowing us to enjoy you're beautiful home and staff.My husband and I were also there with friends in November of 2002. We enjoyed the beauty and kindness of your staff so much that for Christmas gifts to our parents, we brought them back to Emerald Seas.My mother-in-law so enjoyed the special attention Raymond gave her, given she is somewhat handicapped. He would take time in the afternoon to spend time playing a game or two of cards, which she enjoyed and we appreciated.Your staff, Madge, Raymond, Nervella, Nancy and Derrick are the nicest people we have ever encountered in our travels and they will always make Emerald Seas our first choice when visiting Jamaica.Nervella and Nancy always had a big smile and kind word. Madge, well she has been blessed with wonderful gift when it comes to her cooking abilities. The meals were always excellent, not to mention what a beautiful person she is. Derrick made sure the grounds were always perfect and took time out of his busy day to show us how to use the sea kayaks.We are very impressed with the beauty of Emerald Seas but as you can see we are even more impressed with your staff. You are very blessed to have them in your employment.We will return to Emerald Seas someday to enjoy the beauty and your beautiful staff.With sincere thanks,Jim and Debbie, Apr 2003
