Justine’s Harvey Suite
Belmont, Jamaica

Horizon’s New Suite Addition

Ready to enjoy a slice of paradise while looking out to sea and watching pelicans fly by? That is what you will experience at the Justine Harvey Suite ~ Horizon’s New addition to The Yard.

Justine’s Harvey Suite offers the perfect privacy you are looking for in Horizon’s boutique Jamaican Yard. It offers more of a lux space with hand-carved mahogany 19th-century furniture and beautiful artwork. It includes A/C and a Bose music system, plus CD/Radio with Bluetooth capabilities.

It has a mini-refrigerator for beverages and a coffee maker. Although this suite does not have a kitchenette, you are welcome to store supplies and prepare meals in the owner’s kitchen in the main house. You can also hire Laga to prepare dinner for US$20 + grocery supplies or choose from several eateries and jerk shacks, all within a 3-15-minute walk.

Justine’s Harvey Suite is dedicated to the love story of Mary and Essua (previous, long-time Horizon owners) and in memory of Justine Taylor, one of the current owner’s mum. It was initially started for her to visit because she was a bit of a poo-poo and needed more lux accommodations. This cottage, in addition to the unique furnishings, also comes with a marble bathroom and beautiful indoor shower, as well as an outdoor rinse-off shower.

With it comes a private seafront gazebo and beach that belongs to you alone to enjoy. Sea Ranch and Rasta Ranch Cottages (on the other side of The Yard) have their own private porches and small shared beach.

Horizon has offered, over many years, the chance to spend day after day just sitting and soaking up the beauty of the Caribbean Sea, watching birds fly by diving in for fish, and accessing a live coral reef filled with a variety of marine life - - the Justine’s Harvey Suite offers the same relaxing, decompression calm, just with a bit more refinement.

Horizon is located on the South Coast, in Belmont, 1 hour from MoBay and Negril, yet off the beaten track in a traditional fishing village. There are now three units to choose from. Justine’s Harvey Suite, Sea Ranch Cottage, and Rasta Ranch Cottage, which have been featured in Caribbean Travel & Life: Jamaica's Hidden Coast.

This private seaside compound is a favorite of artists, writers, honeymooners, and adventuresome first-time visitors who come back again and again.

All of Horizon's rentals come with Sophia, your housekeeper; she tidies up every 3 days. Laga, Horizon's gardener, night watchman, and your hired cook.

Tour guides are also available for hire wherever you want to explore: YS Falls, the Blue Hole Gardens, Black River, Whitehouse market, and Appleton Rum Tour Estate, to name a few.

”I cannot say enough about being here at Horizon’s Justine Harvey Suite.  Sophia and Laga took such good care of us, the location is beautiful, and honestly, if I won the lottery, I would never leave…lol Truly, it is beautiful, and we will definitely book it again. The true gems of the South Coast are the people and friends you make along the way!”

“Staying on this property felt like having my own private resort immersed in authentic Jamaican culture. From the stunning ocean views to the warm hospitality of Laga, Sophia, & Dave, every moment was a joy. The JH suite was ideal for a solo traveler like me, offering both connectivity to the main house & total privacy. It was impeccably clean w/a spacious bathroom stocked w/ plenty of towels. Having Laga on-site 24/7 provided a reassuring sense of security. He cooked me a traditional breakfast one of the mornings. We went fishing on my last day & caught a fish! Sophia's warm presence & check-ins were greatly appreciated. Her fruit smoothie on my 1st day was a delightful touch. Dave's exceptional hospitality made the experience truly memorable. His kindness & attentiveness were so touching. You can kayak to Blue Ocean or explore small “beaches.” I highly recommend & can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise & reunite w/ the incredible people who made my stay so special.”

“We had a great stay. We loved the coziness and being able to sit under our own gazebo to eat our meals and play dominoes. The beach and water were just a few steps away. We enjoyed watching the crabs and birds. Lago and Sophia were very friendly and helpful. Our room was great, and the hot water and AC were well appreciated! Our Service Dog Sparta also had a great time and enjoyed swimming and relaxing. Thank you all, we hope to visit again.”

”Beautiful beach location. Wonderful views of the ocean with a comfortable bed and bathroom. Laga’s dinners were outstanding. Relaxing, reading a book and watching the waves was what it’s all about!”

“The stay was excellent, clean environment, and amazing staff, very quiet and very very private. I would definitely recommend it if you're trying to get away from all the tourist-trapped areas, screaming kids.”
