The Firefly Estate, located 10 km (6 mi) east of Oracabessa, Jamaica (18°24'17.0"N 76°56'51.0"W), was the Caribbean home of Sir Noël Coward and is the site of his grave. It is now listed as a National Heritage Site by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust. Although the setting is idyllic, the house, built in 1956, is surprisingly spartan, considering that he often entertained jet-setters and royalty. The building has been transformed into a writer's house museum.
