Guests describe their time here as “beautiful, peaceful, and healing” — the kind of retreat where you can rest deeply, reconnect, and feel surrounded by nature. Wake up in nature Wake up to the sounds of birds and daily visits from hummingbirds at the feeders on your balcony. From your bed, it feels as though you are hugged by the trees, with views stretching across Nonsuch Falls, Blue Mountain Peak, and the Portland coastline. Morning light filters through the forest, framing the mountains, waterfall, and ocean in a way that feels both private and magical. Interior and layout Stingray Cottage measures about 625 square feet (58 m²) and is arranged in a loft-style layout. The main level includes a plush king-sized bed (convertible into two twins if preferred), a private bathroom, and a balcony kitchenette. A sturdy ladder leads to the upper loft, where you’ll find two additional twin beds. This setup makes Stingray flexible — perfect for a couple wanting extra space, two friends, or up to four adults traveling together. The loft design also gives the cottage a light, open feeling while keeping sleeping areas separate. Kitchenette and balcony The balcony kitchenette is equipped with a 2-burner hotplate, microwave, electric kettle, mini-fridge, pots, pans, and all the essentials for preparing simple meals. Guests often enjoy breakfast or sunset drinks outside, with hummingbirds at the feeders and views in every direction. The balcony also has a hammock and seating, making it the heart of the cottage for many visitors. Relax and recharge You’ll find plenty of ways to unwind at Stingray. Rest in the hammock, watch the light shift across the mountains, or spend the afternoon at the 25-meter lap pool. For those who like to stay active, the open-air Jungle Gym offers one of the most scenic workout spaces in Jamaica, overlooking the lush valley and coastline. The grounds include tropical gardens filled with flowering plants and butterflies, plus a dedicated earthing spot on the lawn where guests can ground themselves barefoot and connect with the earth. A sanctuary for birds — and for you Searenity is located in the middle of a bird sanctuary, home to Jamaica’s endemic species. Birdwatchers will be thrilled by the variety, but even casual guests are amazed by the daily presence of hummingbirds, parrots, and other colorful birds. This constant connection with wildlife is one of the most unique parts of staying here. Close to everything Stingray Cottage feels private and embraced by nature, yet it’s also centrally located in the heart of Portland. Beaches, waterfalls, restaurants, and cultural attractions are just minutes away, and nothing is more than 30 minutes from your door. Guests often spend mornings exploring Frenchman’s Cove, Reach Falls, or Port Antonio, and afternoons back at the cottage, resting in the hammock or by the pool. What guests say Guests often describe their time at Searenity with words like: “The views are incredible and peaceful — highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet retreat.” “Absolutely beautiful, breathtaking and healing. I can’t wait to come back again.” “Love this place! Hummingbirds join you for breakfast while you enjoy the view of waterfalls, mountains, and the sea.” “Great, serene space with spectacular views!” The Searenity experience Like all of our cottages, Stingray is cared for by David, Stef, and Lex. Together we make sure every detail is looked after, from the thoughtful touches inside to the gardens outside. While here, you can also visit the Guango Boutique, where Stef shares her homemade granola, free-range eggs, refreshing kefir water, and handcrafted jewelry from her line LaTige. Throughout the cottages you’ll also find David’s underwater photography, celebrating Jamaica’s marine world and connecting your stay to the island’s beauty beneath the sea. Why choose Stingray Stingray Cottage is perfect for couples who want extra space, friends traveling together, or small adult groups. With its loft-style interior, flexible bed arrangements, peaceful balcony hugged by trees, and access to the pool, gym, gardens, and bird sanctuary, it’s a cottage that combines privacy, comfort, and a strong connection to nature. Stingray Cottage captures the essence of Searenity: a place to rest, recharge, and reconnect. Guests often leave saying their stay was “peaceful, healing, and unforgettable.” ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Massage - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in hallways (40 inches high) - Handrails in stairways (36 inches high) - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Composting - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Living plant wall - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 680 square feet - Water dispenser usage encouraged - Water-efficient toilets ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas 2024 We liked that it was a bit out of town, and very quiet while we were there. Sitting on our private balcony looking over the town or off to the mountains and the waterfall with our morning coffee was our favourite part. ##### Tony C. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica C. Jan 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Place Look no further, this is it. We had a great time and the hosts David and Olga were super nice and helpful. It was very easy to access local attractions, this jungle cottage is so cozy and relaxing you hardly want to leave. We will come back and stay longer next time. Thank you again for making our stay so great. Greetings J. ##### Jessica C. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### deborah s. Jan 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AquaLife Is the life for me! Cottages grounds amenities are even better than pictures. Great plumbing AC Fan and shared fully equipped kitchen. Strong Wi-Fi. This place is an incredible value too compared especially to other local options. Stayed in both would return to either as soon as possible! The views are unreal ! Hummingbirds with our blue mountain coffee every morning! The pool and gym are fantastic and are just a few steps away. Better if you have a car to get around and explore. At the top of a steep hill. David and Olga are very helpful and check in frequently via what’s app to make sure we have a great vacation. Ted and Hiya are fantastic too. If you are trying to escape COVID or cold weather or anything this is the place to come! ##### deborah s.
