Sunset is a charming three-bedroom beach house on a fabulous site: a double lot absolutely on the edge of the beach and the sea. The wide blue all-day view is topped off by a sunset sky and a stunning nighttime view of the sparkling lights of the town of Montego Bay 12 miles across the sea.
Take away the view and what's left?
It's quiet. The rustle of the trade winds and the lapping of the waves on the beach are the sound system.
It's really on the beach. Perhaps your dream of the perfect beach house is a villa that's smack on the beach and has loads of doors, windows, louvers, ceiling fans and even a soft lawn that invites barefoot walks to the edge of the sand and sea. Got it: 24 louvered doors in the living room. 38' walk from breakfast table to feet in the sand. 50' swim or kayak to a live reef.
It's pretty. Not pretentious, just very pretty. Peach and cream, pink and green, yellow and blue.
It's entertaining. Flat screen TV's bring in dozens of cable stations. A SONY MP3 makes the rafters ring. The Tryall Club itself provides golf and tennis, water sports and beach parties ? and even a terrific kids club.
It's for families. Two side-by-side bedrooms provide proximity for parents and children. The cook prepares special meals for youngsters and feeds them early. Kids love to play on the beach and romp on the large, soft lawn. Beach toys provided. Nannies on request. No chlorine in the pool! Open your eyes under water. The computer-controlled salt water pool is immaculate and uses no chlorine. No tears from toddlers and the Brown Jordan chaises are excellent for kids and adults too. Meet other kids: Take the complimentary golf cart up the hill to the Hummingbird Kids Club. It's free!
Drinking allowed. A large granite bar in the living room is never more than a few feet away from anyone. Fridge and icemaker mean cold drinks are always right there ? walking distance from the pool, a short trot from the beach. But don't worry about that because ? It's staffed!
