Firefly
The cottage on the cliff above Port Maria, 20 miles (32km) east
of Ocho Rios, Firefly was the holiday retreat of famed British
playwright and composer, Sir Noel Coward. The house is now a
national monument and has been preserved as Coward left it,
complete with two grand pianos on which he composed some famous
tunes. Coward is buried in the garden under a simple marble
gravestone.
