About Stingray Cottage at Searenity
Stingray Cottage is designed for up to four guests, offering space, comfort, and the same tranquil setting that makes Searenity so unique. 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.

“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.”
