About this property

Rustic 1BR Cottage Retreat | Tropical Gardens & Poolside Living

Welcome to Casas de Tierra Jamaica, where rustic design, tropical surroundings, and laid-back island living come together.

This private 1-bedroom cottage is located right alongside the shared pool, putting you at the heart of the property's outdoor experience. Step outside and you're surrounded by lush tropical gardens, palms, colorful flowers, and fruit trees, with the pool just steps away.

Designed for couples or solo travelers, the cottage offers a comfortable home base for exploring Runaway Bay and the surrounding north coast while giving you a unique place to unwind and reconnect with nature between adventures.

Rustic Adobe-Style Living

One of the things that makes Casas de Tierra special is the architecture. The cottage features rustic adobe-style walls and natural earthen finishes created using local soil and stone, complemented by reclaimed wood and handcrafted furnishings.

The design creates a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing the surrounding tropical environment into the overall experience.

This isn't a cookie-cutter hotel room. It's a one-of-a-kind cottage with character, texture, and a distinctly natural feel.

Poolside & Tropical

The shared pool is located directly beside the cottage, making it easy to enjoy a refreshing swim or lounge poolside throughout your stay.

Beyond the pool, explore the lush property filled with tropical plants, exotic flowers, towering palms, and seasonal fruit trees. When available, guests may also enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from our home garden.

The atmosphere at Casas de Tierra is intentionally laid-back. Come unwind, slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the easygoing rhythm of island living.

A Small Property With a Personal Touch

Casas de Tierra features three individually designed cottages, each offering its own character and private space. Our home is also located on the property, so we're nearby when you need assistance or local recommendations while still allowing you to enjoy your own cottage.

Conveniently Located for Exploring

The property is centrally located in Runaway Bay, giving you convenient access to the main road, nearby beaches, restaurants, local shops, and attractions.

Spend your days exploring the north coast, enjoying the beaches, discovering local food and attractions, or simply coming back to the cottage for some pool time.

At Casas de Tierra, you're not just booking a place to sleep. You're choosing a unique stay surrounded by nature, rustic adobe-style design, tropical beauty, and the laid-back spirit of island living.

Come unwind. Take a dip. Reconnect with nature. And experience Jamaica from a cottage with character.
