Firefly Estate, House museum in Port Maria, Jamaica

Firefly Estate is Noël Coward's hilltop house above the north coast of Jamaica, now a writer's house museum. The 1956 building is spartan inside, with an art studio holding his paintings and photographs of friends, a garden with his grave under a marble slab and a statue facing the sea, and a stone hut once used as Henry Morgan's lookout, later Coward's bar and now a gift shop and restaurant.

The land was once owned by privateer and Jamaica governor Sir Henry Morgan, who bought it from his lieutenant Lawrence Prince and used the hilltop as a lookout over St. Mary harbour. Noël Coward acquired the estate in the late 1950s and built the present house in 1956. He died there on 26 March 1973 and was buried in the garden; the house later became a writer's house museum.

The estate displays personal belongings and artistic works that shaped theater and literature in the Caribbean during the mid-20th century. Visitors can observe how this creative space was actually lived in and used daily.

Tours of the property are guided and include access to the house, studio, and garden areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for sloped pathways, as the hilltop setting involves multiple levels and steps.

The garden features a marble stone marking a place of personal significance in the estate's history. This quiet spot was a favored location for watching the sea and remains a focal point for many visitors today.
