Bye The Way at Tryall Club

Overview

Designed and built in the style of a colonial bungalow, Bye the Way was professionally interior decorated by David Easton, the renowned New York designer. It is the only Great House bungalow to have a private garden that has been exquisitely planted with a scheme of many different shades of green and white. Mature trees provide shade and you will discover many different leaf forms both in shape and size.

Double solid wood entrance doors lead into the full-height sitting room which has further doors opening to the ocean-facing veranda. Off the sitting room is a fully-equipped kitchen and the two en suite bedrooms. The master bedroom has a lofty Jamaican bamboo four-poster king-size bed and the guest bedroom has two double four-poster beds.

A calming color scheme of various shades of fawn and beige creates an elegant and extremely comfortable environment, enlivened by splashes of color in the upholstery, cushions, and artwork.

The sixty-four-foot veranda is a focal point of the villa and one of the principal attributes of the Great House bungalows. With stunning views out to sea and across the garden, the veranda is furnished with comfort in mind with different seating groupings and it offers an al fresco dining environment as an alternative to dining inside.

Bye the Way has its own four-seat golf cart.

Bye the Way includes the services of a housekeeper who will prepare breakfast and lunch with dinner preparation being available at a small supplement.
