Jamaica has been made famous by musician Bob Marley, Olympian Usain Bolt, and miles and miles of gorgeous sandy and sunny beaches. During your Jamaica vacation rental you won’t see either of the first two, but the last will surround you at every turn.
 
Jamaica is famous for having lots of biodiversity and is considered the 5th most biodiverse country in the world. What this means is that there are lots of plant species, seagrass beds, and coral reefs for you to explore to your heart’s content during your Jamaica vacation rental. There’s also plenty of local native wildlife population like wild hogs, colorful parrots, and tiny hummingbirds to come visit with during your stay.
 
Jamaicans are proud of their culture and history, and offer up many opportunities to educate their visiting guests. They are big fans of music such as Jamaican Dancehall, rocksteady, ska and, of course, reggae. Kingston is even home to a historical museum honoring Jamaica’s favorite national treasure – musician Bob Marley. Another national hero of Jamaica is Paul Bogle – you can see a statue of him in Morant Bay, near the site of the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion.
 
But, along with all that history, there’s plenty to enjoy in the here-and-now during your Jamaica vacation rental. Negril is home to such shallow water that you can wade in it for quite a distance before it finally goes over your head. Port Antonio, Jamaica, a popular destination for the rich and famous, is home to the Blue Lagoon – a landlocked cozy cove with unbelievably blue waters made famous in a movie starring a young Brooke Shields. And Ocho Rios attractions include Dunn’s River Falls, an incredibly popular tourist destination.
 
When Christopher Columbus first laid eyes on Jamaica, he wrote "It is the fairest island eyes have beheld; mountainous and the land seems to touch the sky." After a Jamaica vacation rental on the scenic island, no one could possibly disagree.
