Sea Glass

Description

Enter a quarter-mile driveway, beautifully landscaped with brilliant bougainvillea on all sides.  Then see the Travertine-paved Italianate courtyard which is the dramatic entrance to Sea Glass.  You’re home.  Formerly named Annabella, the villa was bought by new owners in 2017 and renamed Sea Glass.

The heated pool is entered via a non-slip ankle-deep kiddie section.  Just beyond, 3 steps lead down to a 3-foot depth.  Wonderful for children. The maximum depth at the far end is 5 feet.

From the pool terrace, a spiral stairway leads up to a dreamy loft with a wet bar, a kingsize deck bed, and a magnificent sea view.  Travel-weary vacationers may nap here.  Stargazers may spend nights here.  (A half bath is just down the spiral steps.)

The inside dining room seats up to 18.  However, most guests choose to dine more casually on the rustic blue wood and glass table under an arbor of white Thumberger blossoms cascading from an overhead lattice.  Hummingbirds, wild canaries, and handsome yellow bellies are drawn to the nectar and are the delight of bird watchers.

Under a 20′ peaked cedar ceiling, the Great Room features two dramatic mirrored granite bars with a mini-fridge and icemaker. The Great Room opens on three sides to shaded outdoor sitting areas and the sunny pool terrace. A fenced gallery-type walkway wraps around a lush central atrium with a fountain and koi pond.  The gallery leads to the main level bedroom wing.

Accommodations

Four bedrooms are on the main level.  The proximity of parents and children’s bedrooms defines Annabella as an excellent family villa. Architectural setbacks of each bedroom have created extraordinary designs of private bedrooms and balconies, although none is far from the others.  While near, each feels quite private.

Downstairs are the second Master Bedroom and nearby sixth bedroom, also a good family combination. Just around the corner is the very large Games Room with pool table, ping pong table, sitting alcove, 70-inch plasma television, and option for three additional twin beds.  A full bath with a shower is just across the corridor.

Each bedroom opens to its own private furnished balcony with a lovely view over the 14th fairway and the sea.  Each en-suite bathroom is glamorously designed in floor-to-ceiling cream and gray-brown imported Travertine marble.  All 7 showers feature rainfall showerheads.  Two master bathrooms include deep soaking bathtubs.  All bathrooms feature double-basin granite and mahogany vanities, oversize mirrors, his n hers cotton pique robes, complimentary toiletries, and a generous supply of fluffy white towels.

For large groups and family reunions, Sea Glass’s nearby sister villas are INFINITY, COO YAH, and BUMPER’S NEST

Tryall Club Membership

A significant amenity for guests in this villa is membership at the excellent Tryall Club. On 2,200 acres, Tryall’s golf course is among the most beautiful in the world. Its 18 hillside and seaside fairways have been home to the Johnnie Walker, Mazda, and other PGA championship events. The resident pro offers workshops and private lessons. The Tryall tennis club features nine Nova Cushion courts, some lit for night play, with world-class pros on call. All white attire is required. (Some Tryall Club golf services may be subject to a 15% service charge, including green fees, golf cart rentals, and shoe and club rentals).

The beach is well planned for parents and children. Have lunch at the beach bar. Work out in the well-equipped gym. Jog the marked trails. Snorkeling, kayaking, hobie cat, and sunfish are complimentary. Glass bottom boats, charter fishing, a boat to the reef, and any captained craft attract various fees. Enjoy weekly events like the Manager’s Cocktail Party on Mondays, as well as Beach BBQ and Reggae Night beach parties for an additional fee.

On the hill, enjoy the historic Great House for afternoon tea and a magnificent view from the terrace. Shop at the commissary and boutique, meet for happy hour at the bar, and browse a wealth of Jamaican, Haitian, and Cuban works and souvenirs in the Gallery of West Indian Art. And don’t miss the massive Tryall pool!
