Dramatic villa and location with quite a remarkable staff set upon 2.5 acres of natural fields with Mango, Papaya, Grapefruit and Sweet Sop trees abound. Sea front pool and patios with spectacular panoramic views. Wonderful traditional Jamaican cuisine. It is the ONLY property in all of Treasure Beach to include a boat and captain with your villa rental.

Renovated in Fall 2007 LA CASA DUNA is one of the original villas in Treasure Beach. High on a bluff at the end of 3/4 mile long Billy's Bay beach. The area, on the boarder of Fort Charles, was originally called Black Spring Point. Your viewpoint here stretches far into the distance, out to the sea and all the way down the coast to Great Pedro Bluff.

One of the 5 bays and fishing villages that make up Treasure Beach, Billy's Bay is quiet & neighborly. Here set unseen on a private lane off the country road, La Casa Duna is just minutes from Calabash Bay, its little shops, bakery, bars and restaurants. Closer to home, a staircase cut into the bluff leads from the front lawn, porticoed verandah and pool down to the 3/4 mile beach below and a beautiful swimming area.

Follow a gentle crescent of sandy shore-line, down past inshore rockpools & lagoons -- a 15 minute beach stroll will take you to the Billy's Bay fishers landing, where you can buy the best of the daily catch of fresh fish and seafood. Or grab a Red Stripe if the little bar's open...

Inside the villa, Bev Elliot holds sway. You might say her warmth and hospitality
is a local family tradition. Bev is the sister of Len Parchment, manager of LA CASA DUNA, the mother of Pheona, Duna's housekeeper/cook, and the daughter of Miss Verlin, a cook legendary in Treasure Beach for her high standards and caring ways with guests both young and old.

When not marketing, cooking and making sure your holiday goes according
to plan, Bev is also a local gospel singer known as "The Nightingbird of
Billy's Bay" -- with 4 sons who also lead the reggae group "Four-in-One".

Inside/Out Living though undoubtedly you'll spend many an hour on the beach, in the pool, lunching on the terrace or lazing in a hammock on the verandah, DUNE HOUSE offers great interior spaces for living. Set apart from the rest of the house, a new greeting room and foyer features a new TV/DVD and entertainment center with radio/CD/tape player where kids can play boardgames and watch movies.

With high, open-beamed ceilings, the separate dining room and large living room with two conversation areas open up to seabreezes, ocean and sunset views through polished wood French doors that lead directly onto the covered terraces. Given the house location atop a seafront dune, air-conditioning is
superfluous; ceiling fans, however, are in all rooms as well as new
louvered and screened windows.

Three airy bedrooms sleep up to 6 guests (both crib and cot are also available for toddlers & infants). At oceanfront, the master bedroom with queensize bed and new en suite bathroom/shower lets one fall asleep to the sound of waves and seabirds. On the gardenside of the house, two additional bedrooms (one with queensize bed, one with two twins) share a new bathroom/shower at the end of a small hallway. Full modern kitchen. Solar hot water system. Washing machine. Cell phone available for free local calls. Caretaker/manager quarters are set separately and unobtrusively off the entryway to the house.

Lucky are the one who rent this villa since the boat and captin are included in your rate, you can -- on a daily basis -- go fish and dive for lobster, red/yellow/white/ grey snapper, jack, parrot, silk, satin or grouper for your dinner. Or sportfish for the big ones: crossbar, tuna, kingfish/mackerel, barracuda dorado and marlin.

In addition to your fishing excursions you can also -- on a daily basis -- check out Floydie's Pelican Bar, the wild dunes at Parrottee, Sister Lou's for blue crab and crocodiles up Black River. Plus, all the beaches and hidden coves along the coast: Fort Charles to the new platform Shallow Bar at Great Bay to Little Ochie restaurant in Alligator Pond -- whatever you choose.

LEN PARCHMENT, manager of LA CASA DUNA, is your licensed cap'n, pro diver and guide. Fishing/snorkelling gear is also included.
