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.

About the host
Hosted by David Lee
We’re David and Stef, your hosts at Searenity Cottages in beautiful Portland, Jamaica.
Our goal is simple: to create a restful space where you can feel at home, recharge, and leave with great memories. Guests often mention how much they value the personal touch we bring — from a warm welcome, to quick responses, to sharing tips on our favorite waterfalls, beaches, and local spots.
David is a former freediving world record holder and underwater photographer. His love for the sea is reflected throughout the cottages, where many of the photos on the walls are his own. They bring a glimpse of Jamaica’s vibrant underwater world into your stay and connect you to the island’s natural beauty.
Stef has a sharp eye for detail and a passion for health and wellness. She makes sure each cottage is cared for with meticulous attention, creating a clean and calming environment. Her care shows in the little touches that make your stay comfortable and worry-free.
We also invite guests to visit the Guango Boutique, located right here on the property. It’s a reflection of Stef’s creativity and love of wholesome living. You’ll find her homemade granola, free-range chicken eggs, refreshing kefir water, and her beautifully handcrafted jewelry from her line LaTige. The boutique offers a chance to take home a piece of Searenity — whether it’s something delicious, nourishing, or uniquely designed.
When we’re not caring for the cottages, you’ll often find us outdoors — diving, hiking, or exploring waterfalls with our family. Hosting gives us the opportunity to share this way of life with people from around the world who value peace, nature, and the slower pace that makes Portland so special.
We’re here when you need us and give you space when you don’t. Whether you come to rest, reconnect, or explore, our hope is that Searenity feels like your sanctuary — a place you’ll want to return to, just as many of our past guests have.

What makes this property unique
Why This Property Is Unique
Searenity Cottages is more than a place to stay — it’s a retreat designed for peace, comfort, and connection with nature. What makes it unique is the balance it offers: you’re surrounded by rainforest, a waterfall, and birdlife, yet you’re never more than 30 minutes from all the attractions, beaches, and restaurants of Portland.
The property sits in the middle of a bird sanctuary, so every day begins with the sounds of nature and visits from hummingbirds at your balcony feeders. Guests often say this is what makes their stay unforgettable.
The cottages are built for rest and wellness. Each one has thoughtful touches, a simple outdoor kitchenette to prepare meals, and views of the Blue Mountains, Nonsuch Falls, and the Caribbean coastline. You can relax in your hammock, swim laps in the 25-meter pool, or work out in the Jungle Gym overlooking the valley.
Adding to the experience is the Guango Boutique, where Stef shares her homemade granola, kefir water, and handcrafted jewelry from her line LaTige. David’s underwater photography, displayed in each cottage, connects you to Jamaica’s world beneath the surface and reminds you of the beauty just offshore.
Guests describe Searenity as “beautiful, breathtaking, peaceful, and healing.” It’s a place where people come to recharge, reconnect, and return again and again.
