Dear Linda,
If anyone asks me to recommend a villa expert in the Caribbean, Villas By Linda Smith is where I would send them. The agents have always exceeded our expectations in service, timeliness, and advice. We are lucky to have found an agency with both a professional and friendly approach. Viviana (located inside the Tryall Club) is a villa we wish we owned, and the staff are the best we've ever experienced. You are welcome to call me if you wish to discuss anything in more detail, but don't get bored when I keep telling you how wonderful everything was!

Sea Glass at Tryall Club
Caribbean / Jamaica / Montego Bay
Formerly named Annabella, Sea Glass sits on a remarkable six private acres on a plum site at the prestigious Tryall Club.

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 staircase 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.
The staff has invented a unique treat for their guests. Once each week, they produce Jamaica Day, a full day and evening of bona fide Jamaican foods, entertainment, and lessons in Patois. The evening culminates in a torchlight party on the lawn. Indelible vacation is memorable for parents and children alike!
Something almost magically remarkable is the quiet of the villa. To melt back into the deep cushions of a wicker chaise and close your eyes invites only the sounds of birds, the rustling of palm fronds, and the wind.
I'd be remiss if I did not mention the seamless teamwork of the staff and the talents of our chef. From homemade Caesar Salad and Gazpacho to Lobster Thermador and Grand Marnier Souffle’s (Chocolate Sundae for the kids).
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 the parent's and children's bedrooms defines Sea Glass 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, oversized mirrors, his and hers cotton pique robes, complimentary toiletries, and a generous supply of fluffy white towels.

The 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.

Reviews
Dear Linda,
We are all enjoying ourselves immensely. It is amazing how quickly the time goes by down here. We are getting sad already that the end of the week is quickly approaching. Some of the people we took this year are new to the villa vacation experience and I think we made some converts! We were very satisfied with the choice we made in Viviana. The staff is wonderful.

Dear Linda,
Everyone of us (all 15) had a wonderful time on our Jamaican vacation. Viviana and the fabulous staff exceeded our expectations. I can't imagine a more perfect holiday. We thank everyone for all the help and guidance.
