Hidden Bay by the Sea perches dramatically on one of the most remarkable sites on Jamaicas renowned North Coast. Completed in 2014, the property captures both the drama of an extraordinary elevated panorama of blue sea and the proximity of its own sandy beach. Its well-planned design attracts groups of up to 12 adults and 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 glamor 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.

As remarkable as the home itself are the finely-tuned staff members, pampering without ever intruding and starring by season two marvelous cooks: Cook Kim and Chef Lyn... Bon apptit!

The main house consists of 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms.

A comfy wrap-around verandah with glorious view is the favorite gathering area. Step off the porch onto a grassy lawn, fresh water pool and terrace, and Travertine stepping stones to the pice de rsistance 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 doeuvres create indelible memories of each days long, breathtaking dusk. Cameras 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 voil! The hidden beach is a 100 stretch of sand by the sea for barefoot shell gathering, for toddlers to splash in shallow waters and for taller guests to venture into the waves. Kayaks and vests are complimentary.
