Inside, the house is a perfect blend of beauty with comfort. The guiding hand of Greatview’s creator and the commitment of its staff are evident in the upscale décor and careful attention to detail. Each of the 5 large bed-and-bath combination suites in the main house has its signature motif and character. Living areas have been thoughtfully designed to meet the varying needs of your party.
The great-room is a combination living/dining-room with a 40-foot ceiling. Huge glass doors can either open the room to cool ocean breezes or protect it from occasional inclement weather while preserving the view. The mezzanine above has a smaller seating area for more intimate gatherings. The main floor rooms, covered pavilion and two master bedroom suites are wheelchair accessible and designed to accommodate the disabled.
The covered pavilion is the social heart of Greatview. It’s a great place to enjoy the warmth of a Jamaican day with protection from the mid-day sun – drinking in the color, birdsongs and fragrance of the adjoining terraced tropical gardens. For sun-loving guests, the deck over the kitchen offers an opportunity to catch the last of the afternoon rays, while partial covering over the deck accommodates those who prefer shade. Amateur astronomers congregate here on clear nights to watch the stars through Greatview’s telescope.
Most often, guests choose to dine in the covered pavilion around the circular glass table by the outdoor bar. For more formal occasions, Greatview offers an indoor dining table which also accommodates 12 for a sit-down meal.
A wonderful addition to Greatview, a log cabin tree-house for children of all ages, is nestled amongst a Sea Grape and Poor Man's Orchid tree about 5 feet off the ground on the lower Greatview lawn. A winding staircase leads to the spacious living room furnished for tree-house lunches, games and crafts. One step up from the living room is the cozy bedroom furnished for afternoon naps, storytelling and playing pretend. This room can be reached through a secret trap door in the floor, having climbed up the steps imbedded in the adjacent tree.
Now with a superb Kids Club complete with nanny service, tree house activities, Jamaican arts and crafts and so much more!
