Description

Imagine having a 'private reef' to yourself with access to two single kayaks -- all you need to do is bring your snorkel gear and you get to see the glories of a living coral reef, right in you front yard.
 
This is the only little private, boutique compound we know of that offers the opportunity for you to spend day after day taking in the beauty of an abundance of birds flying over the sea, watching pelican TV diving in for fish, plus a coral reef filled with a varity of marine life. Some of the guests even swim out and back (it's just under 1 mile). 
 
Sea Ranch Cottage (cottage closest to the ocean) and Rasta Ranch Cottage sit directly on the water, with a small sandy beach just steps from your door.
 
Sea Ranch Cottage:
 
Each furnished cottage features a large living/dining porch with privacy shades, ceiling and table fanned bedrooms with queen size bed, fully-equipped kitchen, private bathroom -- and unique open-air showers with reliable electric hot water, outside in a walled garden of flowering vines.
 
Jamaican paintings, carvings and books abound. CD/radio players. Sea kayaks, hammocks, jetty with chairs, tables and lounge areas -- there isn't much you need to do here other than decompress, listen to waves and watch the birds fly by...it your own little slice of Jamaican heaven.
 
If you do not feel like cooking yourself or dinnning out at a handful of good little restaurants (either within walking distance or very short drive -- you can always get it to go), Laga, on of your trusted Yardies can be hired for local marketing, cooking and dinner service - he uses a separate cookhouse with freezer-fridge and oven. His fee is US$15 + supplies.
 
Rasta Ranch Cottage:
 
One hour from MoBay and Negril, yet off the beaten track in a traditional fishing village, Sea Ranch and Rasta Ranch at Horizon have been featured in Caribbean Travel & Life: Jamaica's Hidden Coast.
 
Seaside pavilion and jetty. Sea kayaking, snorkeling and horseback riding nearby. Horizon comes w/ housekeeper, dinner cook, boatmen, gardener and night watchman. Tour guides are also available for wherever you want to explore: YS Falls, the Blue Hole Gardens, Black River, Whitehouse market, Appleton Rum. 
 
This private seaside compound in a untouristed fishing village is a favorite of artists, writers, honeymooners and adventuresome first-time visitors who come back again and again.

My wife and I recently stayed here in June. We did a lot of research before we decided to stay here. We truly wanted to experience Jamaica and all of it's culture and people. Mission accomplished. We can't say enough about the genuine beauty of this place. From the beginning, we were greeted with smiles from Shirley along with Hopie and Lagga. We didn't get to meet the owners, but we felt right at home from the start. We rented a car, and drove most of the island. This is not for the weak at heart. However, after a few days, it became second nature. Pictures do not do the cabin justice. We really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor shower, or as we called it.....our air conditioner. The cabin is very well equipped. Just steps from the water and a coral reef within a kayak ride away. Lagga took us out on the boat and we caught a bonito. Lagga cooked twice for us, and we can't say enough about how good the food was. Hopie was amazing and we truly felt like family. We truly enjoyed living like a local and would recommend this place to anyone with a sense of adventure. It's definitely not for those who choose to stay behind the gates of a resort. But if you're looking for the "real" Jamaica, this it for you.

My husband and I loved every minute of our stay in the Sea Ranch cottage at the Horizon property in Belmont. The cottage was beautiful and went well above our expectations. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves, waking up to beautiful morning light watching all of the bird life, kayaking everyday out to the reef to snorkel, sitting on our the front deck for hours relaxing and enjoying the wonderful sights and sounds of the ocean. Our hosts Mary and Esau were wonderful and big thanks to Hopi for keeping us neat and clean :-) For those that don't know the area very well, there are plenty of good places to eat right in Belmont and we ventured to Whitehouse a few times to eat at one of our favourites "Jimmyz". We can't wait to go back to this awesome piece of heaven!

Mary, Esau, Mia, Laga, Hopi, Trevor, and Timings too ( the guard dog), We had a fabulous time. Every ting was Irie Mon! We witnessed some of the most amazing sunsets. We ate some really awesome food. Laga is an awesome cook. He made us curried lobster one night, conch a day later and a massive feast of lobster on our last night there. It was soo good. We also ate at Roberts and Dore’s many times (turkey neck is so good!). We are very glad we decided to try the real Jamaica experience instead of the concrete made for you resort. Being mere inches from the sea and hearing the constant sound of the gentle surf was soothing and relaxing. Kayaking out to the reef and snorkeling was …… IRIE!!! I have only seen that on TV until now. Mary, Esau and Mia are wonderful hosts and made us feel welcome the minute we arrived. The cottage was exactly what we were expecting and was unbelievably perfect. Hopi, Laga and Trevor each touched our hearts in their own unique way and everyone made sure we had anything we needed. Being invited to jam and sing to some awesome Marley and Tosh tunes with Trevor and Laga on our last night there was the perfect and fitting end to an unforgettable vacation. Wolde and Dion from RAJ Tours were also excellent. They both showed and taught us a lot about Jamaica and also safely traversed us across miles of hair raising roads that surely would have been the death of us all had I been driving (very narrow and the wrong side for us Canadians). Tammie and I thank you all for a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to come back! We WILL be back!

This great vacation spot will give you the authentic Jamaican experience. It allows for the option to travel for entertainment, if desired; to meet the local people to experience their true way of life, or privacy, if that is what you desire. A perfect relaxation spot.

What a wonderful place! My husband and I wanted a "real" Jamaican experience; living around locals and enjoying the beautiful views. Horizon Cottages gave us this and more. Mary and Esau are gracious and friendly hosts, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. Hopi cleans the cottages and was so sweet and helpful; once she learned I loved her fresh-squeezed orange juice she insisted on making more for me every few days. Laga is a great cook and was so much fun to hang out and talk with, and Trevor was so willing to get us anything we needed and a great fisherman. The cottage itself is so charming; gorgeous views of the Caribbean, comfortable bed and interesting decorations. If you want constant activity and noise, you're better off going to one of the resorts, where you'll meet lots of others on vacation. If you want to truly relax, experience the peace and beauty of Jamaica in its real form, then stay at Horizon Cottages. We feel like we met our "second family" here; can't wait to go back!
