Endless Summer

Endless Summer is a turreted mansion with views of the Caribbean Sea. From the porte-cochere, bevelled glass doors open to a dramatic 80-foot columned space. A sweeping white stone staircase curves gracefully from the foyer to a balustrade 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 main villa 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-coloured walls crisply trimmed in white. Mediterranean-style floors, smooth as marble underfoot, were custom-made on-site, creating an overall palate of soft minimalist colours. On fine Lenox china, dinners are served in the downstairs dining alcove, north veranda or on the upstairs balcony as the sun sets over the sea. Strategically-placed Bose speakers create surround sound in the villa, verandas, balconies and pool area.

Colourful Montego Bay and the "hip strip" are just 15-minutes away. Half Moon - with a private beach, tennis, fitness center, water sports, food and beverage, and dolphin lagoon - is just five minutes downhill from the villa.

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 veranda and pool terrace, to the dramatic tossing of the bridal bouquet from the upper gallery.
