Montego Bay holiday villa

Endless Summer is a turreted mansion with views of the Caribbean Sea. From the porte-cochere, beveled glass doors open to a dramatic 80' columned space. A sweeping white stone staircase curves gracefully from the foyer to a balustraded gallery encircling and overlooking the sunken living room ... topped high above by the dome of this home's highest turret. From the gallery, as from all bedrooms, a wall of glass doors opens to the deep wrap-around porch and panoramic vistas over the golf course and the turquoise waters outlining the horizon. Interiors are designed against a clean backdrop of mushroom-colored walls crisply trimmed in white. Mediterranean-style floors, smooth as marble underfoot, were custom made on site, creating an overall palate of soft minimalist colors.

On fine Lenox china, dinners are served in the downstairs dining alcove, north verandah or on the upstairs balcony as the sun sets over the sea. Strategically-placed Bose speakers create surround-sound in the villa, verandahs, balconies and pool area.

Just minutes down the hill is the lively Half Moon Shopping Village with designer shops, English pub, bars, restaurants and excellent medical facility. The new world-class Ritz Carlton Hotel with superb shops and restaurants is just five minutes away. Also, five minutes away is the four-star Half Moon Resort, where Endless Summer guests enjoy full membership privileges. Colorful Montego Bay and the "hip strip" are just 15 minutes away.

It would be an oversight not to mention that this spacious home is ideal for weddings ... from a marriage ceremony on the upper balcony (with adequate space for many guests), to a grand reception on the wide verandah and pool terrace, to the dramatic tossing of the bridal bouquet from the upper gallery.
