Golden Clouds was the name given by Ruth Bryan Owen, the first female US ambassador, to her house in Oracabessa, Jamaica. It is situated between Goldeneye, where Ian Fleming wrote many of the James Bond novels, and Noël Coward's Firefly Estate. The award-winning ocean front 11-bedroom estate is on 6 acres (2.4 ha) of manicured gardens with over 500 feet (150 m) of shoreline and its own private beach. Owen oversaw the construction of the luxurious villa and entertained many famous guests there including Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, and Charlie Chaplin. Ambassador Owen purchased the property from Chris Blackwell's mother, Blanche, who at the time owned several thousand acres of real estate near Oracabessa, and had also sold properties to both Fleming and Coward.
