On Jamaica’s north coast, Itopia is now opening its doors to the public for the first time in the historical home’s history. The 1600’s-era country home is available for private rentals courtesy of Island Outpost. The three-bedroom Itopia is available for year-round, short- and medium-term rentals. It has a full staff, lush gardens, high-speed wireless Internet and cable television. All bedrooms offer queen-sized beds, the upstairs bedroom with en suite bathroom and shower, the downstairs featuring a canopy bed, along with sunken bath and shower. The third bedroom contains a four-poster canopy bed. Accommodations at Itopia through April 19 begin at $595 per night and $450 per night from April 20 through December 14. Rates are subject to a 20 percent government tax and service charge. For reservations, call 1-800-OUTPOST or visit www.islandoutpost.com/thecaves.
