Octopus Cottage , Peaceful Retreat with Pool, Ocean & Mountain Views

About Octopus Cottage at Searenity

Octopus Cottage is designed for up to four guests who want the peace of a private retreat with enough space and flexibility for everyone to feel comfortable. Guests often describe their stay at Searenity as “beautiful, peaceful, and healing” — and Octopus brings that same atmosphere with a layout built to accommodate friends or small adult groups.

Wake up in nature

Wake up to the sounds of birds and visits from hummingbirds at the feeders on your balcony. From your bed, it feels like you’re floating in the clouds, with magnificent views of Nonsuch Falls, Blue Mountain Peak, and the Portland coastline. Many guests say waking up here is the highlight of their trip, and it’s a view you’ll never forget.

Comfort and flexibility for four

Octopus Cottage measures about 625 square feet (58 m²) and is thoughtfully designed for up to four adults. The sleeping setup is flexible: a plush king-sized bed that can be separated into two twins, plus two additional bunks. This makes it perfect for friends traveling together or a small adult family who want to share a peaceful retreat.

The cottage also includes a private bathroom and an outdoor balcony kitchenette with everything you need for simple meals. The kitchenette comes with a 2-burner hotplate, microwave, electric kettle, pots, pans, and all the essentials. Guests love preparing breakfast here and enjoying it on the balcony while hummingbirds flit around the feeders.

Relax and recharge

Octopus Cottage is a place to slow down and recharge. Spend the morning in the hammock watching the mountains, or cool off in the 25-meter lap pool. For those who enjoy staying active, the Jungle Gym offers one of the most scenic workout spaces in Jamaica, overlooking the lush valley and coastline. Guests say this mix of rest and activity is what makes Searenity feel like a true retreat.

A sanctuary for birds — and for you

Searenity is located in the middle of a bird sanctuary, home to Jamaica’s endemic bird species. Birdwatchers will love it, but even casual guests are amazed by the daily visits from hummingbirds and the variety of colorful birds that make the property come alive. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

Close to everything

Although Octopus Cottage feels private and tucked away, 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. You’ll feel secluded but never far from the best of Portland.

What guests say

Our guests’ words capture the spirit of staying here:

“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.”

“Love this place! Hummingbirds join you for breakfast while you enjoy the view of waterfalls, mountains, and the sea.”

“Great, serene space with spectacular views!”

For friends or small families

Octopus Cottage was created with flexibility in mind. Friends appreciate the option to split the king bed into two twins, while groups of up to four enjoy the added comfort of the bunks. It’s a setup that makes traveling together easy without giving up privacy or relaxation. Whether you’re here to rest, explore, or a little of both, Octopus Cottage gives you the space to do it all.

More to explore

If your group needs more space, Searenity offers additional cottages, each with its own unique layout and style. All share the same peaceful setting, access to the pool and gym, and the connection to nature that guests remember most.
