Villa Hikaru, our private beachfront home in Treasure Beach, Jamaica, is in a peaceful, un-touristy fishing village. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Jamaica/villahikaru/hotel/289/17/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:35:05 EST From our shaded patio, you'll enjoy a wide panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea. Plantings of tropical fruits and beautiful flowers on our secluded, acre-plus grounds assure your privacy. But you can also visit with fishermen-neighbors we've known for 30 years; they can take you on a fishing or sight-seeing trip, or you can just sit and "reason" (talk) with them. Our Billy's Bay village has the serenity and sunshine for which the South Coast of Jamaica is famous and warm, calming Caribbean waters. The Santa Cruz mountains, our backdrop, create a dry, semi-arid environment that's ideal for relaxing from cold climates, deadlines and drudgery! AMENITIES: There are four screened, overhead-fanned bedrooms opening on a wide shaded patio that catches the near-constant sea breeze. Inside is a living room and dining area that seats eight. We have a telephone, Internet connection and fax at the house. Just below the patio is a sheltered sunning terrace. ACTIVITIES: You'll be looked after by Miss Joyce, our housekeeper and (superb!) cook, as if you were family. Enjoy our private 50-foot lap pool, tennis court and croquet court (lit after dinner). Or walk out the sea-gate to a sandy swimming beach. Children can paddle in the reef-protected shallows. Off the reef, an undersea world of coral invites snorkeling when the sea is calm. As the on-shore breeze rises, it's a short walk up the beach to where a break in the reef and a permanent sandbar make for good body-surfing.
