Villa Sea Wind, St. John

LOCATION. Sea Wind is located on a private and quiet hillside lot in Chocolate Hole with scenic south - southwest facing views of Hart Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor. This location is an easy 5-minute drive on paved roads to the restaurants, groceries and nightlife of Cruz Bay, yet this site is private enough to allow discreet clothing optional tanning.

You'll love the large, bright and air conditioned kitchen which was also totally remodeled in 2005 - 06. The resulting granite and mahogany beauty is a chef's delight that is both very functional and quite attractive. It includes a tiled bar/center island with bar chairs, a 4-burner gas stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, coffeemaker, double filtered and ozonated water, a telephone and a complete assortment of dinnerware and cookware. A washer/dryer is located outside the kitchen.

You may choose from four dining areas. Dine inside at the teak table for 4-6 in the air conditioned dining alcove off the great room, or outside on the deck off the kitchen at a teak table and chair set for 8. There is also a breakfast table for 4 off the master bedrooms and the bar/island in the kitchen is a neat place for lunch or drinks.

DESIGN. Sea Wind is a handsome example of traditional Caribbean architecture, with four hip roofed buildings that are connected by decks, covered walkways and patios. This design is similar to the design of the villas that we offer at Gifft Hill, and like the Gifft Hill villas, you enter onto the deck with the ocean views and blue sky stretching before you. All rooms except the loft bedroom are on the pool (lower) level. The air conditioned great house, with a soaring 25 foot beamed cathedral ceiling, contains the great room, an interior dining area and a loft bedroom. The handsome granite and mahogany kitchen is attached to the great house and is also air conditioned. The two a/c adjoining master bedrooms are on the south (left) side of the pool, which is enveloped by lush tropical vegetation that insures its romantic privacy. Temperature controlled rooms, exposed beam ceilings, multiple ceiling fans, screened sliding windows, French doors, terra cotta tiled floors throughout and beautiful landscaping provide an inviting and relaxing tropical atmosphere in this well furnished, very charming home.

BEDROOMS. Both air-conditioned master bedrooms have a cozy and romantic décor. Both are furnished with queen beds, nightstands, lamps, artwork, accessories, and a hanging closet, and both have French doors that open to ocean views. Both master bedrooms have fully tiled baths and showers, linen closets and a locking safe, and there's a hammock and a table for 4 on the deck outside the bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom is a nicely furnished a/c loft with a queen bed and a tiled bath and shower that is located on the lower level of the great room.
