About the host
Hosted by Sean Murdock
Hi, I’m a first-generation American with deep Jamaican roots. Both of my parents were born and raised in Jamaica — they knew each other growing up on the island but didn’t reconnect until years later in New York, where their love story truly began.
My brother Jason and I spent many of our adolescent summers in Jamaica, moving between Kingston, St. Ann’s, Trelawny, and Negril. We have family all over the island, and every time we return, it feels like a reset — the air, the water, the sun, and the local food reconnect us to something deeper.
We don’t see Jamaica as a vacation. For us, it’s a homecoming. It’s our birthright. And Hallelujah House is our way of sharing that homecoming with you.
This house isn’t just a place to stay — it’s part of our family’s legacy. A space for peace, laughter, reconnection, and joy. We’re honored to welcome you into it and hope it gives you the same sense of grounding and belonging that it gives us.

Why they chose this property
We chose Mammee Bay Estates because it’s one of the few places in Jamaica that offers the perfect balance: a serene, gated neighborhood surrounded by nature — just minutes away from the energy of Ocho Rios. It’s peaceful, safe, and filled with the kind of beauty that makes you pause and take a deep breath.
What we love most is the feeling of ease. You can wake up to birdsong, sip coffee on the veranda, and take a short 6–7 minute stroll to the beach. No car needed. The beach is quiet, clean, and calm — with the option to rent a cabana or grab lunch and cocktails at Bamboo Blu, one of the area’s most popular beachfront restaurants.
You’re also close to some of Jamaica’s most iconic attractions. Dunn’s River Falls, Dolphin Cove, Chukka Cove, Mystic Mountain, and local hot spots like Scotchies and the Kaya Herb House are all within a short drive. Whether you're into adventure, relaxation, or cultural exploration, it’s all nearby.
But the real magic is coming home. After a full day exploring waterfalls, ziplining, or snorkeling, you return to a quiet, tropical home with a large yard, ocean breezes, and space to truly unwind. No crowds. No noise. Just you, your people, and island peace.
The neighborhood is friendly but low-key, with a secure entrance gate and a mix of locals and travelers who respect the calm, residential vibe. It’s great for couples, families, and small groups who want privacy, access, and comfort all in one place.
We chose this location not just for what’s nearby — but for how it feels. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savor every moment.
