This beautifully appointed contemporary West Indian vacation villa offers optimum privacy for a couple desiring an island getaway or will accommodate up to eight guests in an island vacation home that will make them feel that they have the Virgin Islands all to themselves. The island flair of this tastefully decorated St. John villa is enhanced by the vaulted ceilings, large open interior arches, ten foot screened openings, arched exterior openings (with charming banana leaves swaying below), island tile, and ceiling fans keeping the soothing Virgin Island breezes swirling lazily overhead in every room. The pool and deck areas offer plenty of that tropical Caribbean sun along with cool, breezy shade. Much attention has been given to designing SEA TURTLE VILLA as a St. John island paradise vacation "home away from home" not just another "vacation rental home". AMENITIES: SEA TURTLE VILLA's vaulted ceilings, large interior arches and ten foot exterior openings give this island villa a true tropical open-air atmosphere. The large great room with a counter/bar looking up into the kitchen is full of movies, books, games and music for relaxing indoors on a rain day or quiet evening at your Virgin Island "home away from home". The gourmet kitchen is equipped with everything necessary to prepare a "bon appetit" meal or a burger on the grill (please feel free to pick the villa's bananas, limes and coconuts). There is even a separate ice machine for making those delicious Virgin Islands tropical drinks. SEA TURTLE VILLA's two master bedroom suites are furnished in the traditional Virgin Island's style West Indian mahogany. The suites have queen beds, AC, decks and full bathrooms with custom St. John "Caribbean" fashioned tile work. SEA TURTLE VILLA's two guest rooms continue to maintain the breezy open-air feeling of this island home with large interior and exterior openings. These rooms are accommodating even when not used as guest bedrooms as they offer a wonderful place to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. The guest rooms are furnished with full size futon sleepers and lovely tropical wicker furniture. A half bath with an island stone outdoor shower adds a third bathroom for guests. SEA TURTLE VILLA's amenities include cable TV, VCR, and music system. Everything needed for enjoying the villa's pool and deck (comfortable outdoor furniture, towels, rafts, gas grill) or time at one of St. John's glorious beaches (beach chairs, coolers, rafts) is provided. There is also a washer/dryer for any laundry needs. SEA TURTLE VILLA's lush gardens are filled with tropical color, exotic palm trees and enhanced by beautiful stacked stone walls traditionally found in the Virgin Islands. The landscaping can be appreciated even while "indoors" due to the open design. We hope SEA TURTLE VILLA fulfills our goal of sharing an island paradise vacation of beauty, adventure and fun in a lovely relaxing home.
