Shipwreck Point Estates was the choice for Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett during the shooting of the idyllic Honeymoon Beach scenes for The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons in 2007. The privacy from paparazzi and proximity to the beach made Shipwreck an appealing property.
Have you ever wanted to drop out of the Rat Race, sit on a quiet beach, and do absolutely nothing, but do it in style? Would you like to watch the waves wash back and forth through volcanic rocks, listen to the gentle surf sounds, and experience the cleanest air and water on the planet?
Would you like to see shore birds, sea turtles, and dolphins from the front yard, wave to people on cruise ships, sailboats, and megayachts coming and going from St. Thomas? If so, this is the place for you!
Located on 3 acres of private landscaping with 850 feet of shoreline, this beautiful two bedroom, two bath bungalow with guest cottage offers gentle breezes, a sunset view, and a remarkable interaction with nature.
Shipwreck Point derives it's name from the wreck of an iron ship 30 yards from the point in 15 feet of water. All that remains is a part of the keel and some ribs, but it holds beautiful tropical fish and coral. We recently hosted a group of divers who told us the snorkeling from our front yard rivaled anything their professional guides had shown them.
A rustic staircase leads from the house to the Swimming Grotto, where you can enjoy an intimate, private swim, or snorkel the wreck and boulders. The water can also be accessed from another spot on the property with a pebble beach
We have completely remodeled and redecorated the two bedroom, two bathroom house. All three bedrooms have air conditioning, Cable TV with VCR/DVD and total privacy. The grounds feature shade trees, lawns, and floral plantings.
The "Tree House" guest cottage has one bedroom, kitchen, and bath, with a private deck. Newly constructed in the traditional West Indies vernacular style, it is nestled among palms, turpentine trees, tall cactus, orchids and other flowers.
Guests are met at the ferry dock and, oriented to the island, and escorted to the property. A car or minivan is provided. Additional vehicles are available.
It has been said that this bungalow and guest cottage should be featured in a magazine! For more information, please contact us! We know you'll love staying at Shipwreck Point!
