Site Information:
St. John - New Vacation Rental Villa
Great Expectations has 4 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms, each with a King bed which can be converted into 2 twin beds. Located in 2 pavilions separated by a Great Room with a large living room, gourmet kitchen, and indoor and outdoor dining areas.
|
More Info:
A nearby 2 bedroom Guest House with its own living room and kitchen, occupied by the owners who serve as the property managers when on island, is also available at certain times of the year for rent for larger groups bringing the total number of bedrooms to 6. Each of the 6 bedrooms has a private bathroom with double sink lavatories and enchanting indoor/outdoor showers. Best of all, each of the bedrooms have patios on both the east and west sides with spectacular water views.
Great Expectations is framed by the extraordinary "double" east/west views afforded this remarkable site. The villa is located ideally to take advantage of the gentle trade winds.
Great Expectations is located in the southern shore of St. John, less than a 5 minute drive on paved roads to town (Cruz Bay) and to the Northshore Road where you can find the famous, white sand beaches of the National Park. The closest beach for swimming and fabulous snorkeling is just a short walk (or drive; you can park right next to the beach) to Chocolate Hole -- a sandy beach with calm, protected water on the west side of the Villa. On the east side of the Villa is Hart Bay which is the closest beach for great beachcombing and breaking waves (especially when the wind is up).
Great Expectations sits about 200 feet above Hart Bay beach which is accessible by a path from the Villa (about a 5 minute walk, but not recommended for small children or the elderly). It is a very secluded beach; you cannot get to Hart Bay by car or even boat as the coral reef comes right up to the shore so it is worth the visit!
All the openings (sliding doors, windows and transoms) are fully-screened. Italian tile adorns the floors and kitchen and bathroom counters. Native stone work laced with local coral and shells frames the Villa entrance and is used around the site to highlight the lush landscaping of beautiful, colored bougainville
a, hibiscus, croton, wild orchids and, and our favorite, frangipani. A number of significant palm trees as well as banana trees complement the beauty of the site.
A variety of birds frequent the immediate area which, depending upon the season, may include magnificent pelicans, frigate birds, soaring osprey, nesting hawks, heron, the largest hummingbirds, you have ever seen and our popular native bird, the little, but gorgeous, banaquit.
The Villa itself is furnished with custom-made teak furniture and carvings from Bali and, we think, very tastefully decorated with original paintings, sculptures, sconces and even a native mural which was written-up in the local papers. Great Expectations does not pretend to be fancy, just very, very special!
