"Goldeneye was the name given by Ian Fleming to his estate in Oracabessa, on the northern coastline of Jamaica. In 1946 he purchased the land next door to Golden Clouds estate and built his house on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a private beach and the Caribbean Sea. The original house, constructed from a sketch by Fleming, was a modest structure, windowed with wooden jalousies, consisting of three bedrooms and a swimming pool.[1] Fleming's coterie of friends who visited him at Goldeneye included actors, musicians and filmmakers." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldeneye_%28estate%29

Fleming had first mentioned to friends during the war that he wanted to write a spy novel,^[1] an ambition he achieved within two months with Casino Royale.^[66] He started writing the book at Goldeneye on 17 February 1952, gaining inspiration from his own experiences and imagination.
