More Info:
Drake's View is a four bedroom/five bathroom villa with a sunken-tile deck with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Four additional decks and a large, tiled, front porch provide ample outdoor lounging areas. One bedroom is a separate cottage.

The traditional architecture of the house entrance with yellow stucco, red roof, and simple columns contrasts with a dramatic facade of glass along the east wall. No matter where you look in the house or cottage, you see Coral Bay, the valley of Estate Carolina, Drake's Passage, and the British Virgin Islands. On a clear day, you can see the Baths at Virgin Gorda. Rainbows and red-tailed hawks are common sights.

Drake's View has the ambiance of a home rather than a rental. The large great room is furnished with Indonesian and American antiques, contemporary American-carved furniture, bright European posters, and local art.

The well-equipped kitchen is very spacious and includes one of two dining areas. Three bedrooms have queen-sized beds and one has a king, convertible to twins. Each bedroom has air conditioning, private bath, and Swedish TempurPedic mattresses. Couples or a large family will have ample room to relax at Drake's View. The fourth bedroom is in a separate cottage.

Drake's View is centrally located, on Bordeaux Mountain, the highest point on St. John. It is surrounded by lush local vegetation. It is a six-minute drive to the Northshore Beaches; three minutes to the Reef Bay Trail; seven minutes to Coral Bay; and fifteen minutes the Cruz Bay. It is one-quarter mile from Château Bordeaux, one of the Island's great restaurants. From the front door, you can hike the Bordeaux Mountain Trail to Lameshur Beach in one hour.

St. John has fabulous snorkeling, diving, and hiking. The snorkeling is among the best in the Caribbean. Since two-thirds of the island is National Park, many beaches have amenities but no developments mar the expanse of sand and palms.

From St. John, it is easy to take day trips to visit other islands such as the popular yachting destinations of Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, Peter, and Norman Islands.

The park service also offers snorkeling tours, hikes, birding tours, sails, archaeological digs, and lectures. Numerous park trials lead to stone ruins of old-sugar mills and plantations, petroglyphs, and even waterfalls if rainfall is plentiful.

St. John is reached from St. Thomas via a twenty-minute ferry ride. St. Thomas is primarily serviced by Delta, American, and Continental Airlines from the states. US Air has some flights from Pittsburgh. United has flights from O'Hare and Washington.
