Perched cliffside, facing northeast to take advantage of the easterly winds
Location: Estate Peterborg, Northside, USVI - St. Thomas, Caribbean (Northern peninsula of Estate Peterborg on St. Thomas) View Map
Accommodations: Villa, 1 Bedroom, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 2)
Crosswinds has views of Hans Lollick, the British Virgin Islands, and blue seas beyond that will enchant you from this "oh-so-charming" seaside villa that's set atop a bluff at the ocean's edge. Park your car and enjoy the tropical flora and fauna along a meandering pathway of 50 stairs and landings to the privacy of the cottage and main house below.
This home is well laid out, with a pleasing bi-level floor plan and air-conditioning with ceiling fans throughout. The bedrooms are in separate pavillions, each with its own deck. The main floor has living, kitchen (well equipped with refrigerator, icemaker, stove, oven, microwave, George Foreman grill, coffee maker, coffee grinder and complimentary gallon of bottled water) and dining areas. And there's a French door opening to a staircase down to the sunny cliff side heated pool and deck. Binoculars and telescope are on hand for stargazing or whale watching or maybe you prefer to watch the pelicans as they dive for dinner.
Bose speakers surround the living room and heated pool area so you can boogie, unwind, tap your toes, relax or get romantic as the mood dictates.
Adjoining the pool deck is the spacious master, king bedroom/bath suite -- with its own balcony and alfresco shower overlooking soothing waves breaking in the cove below. This is truly a private realm of its own. All bedrooms have their own TV, DVD player VCR, CD player and coffee maker.
The Caribbean exterior -- complete with gingerbread trim, provides colorful counterpoints to the serene blue of the ocean. Fifity feet from the main house is "the Cottage," with its own kitchen, queen bedroom area, deck, and alfresco shower.
If your goal is to relax during your stay you will want for nothing at Crosswinds, just stay by the pool or take a short 5 minute drive to Magen's Bay Beach -- ranked as one of the top ten beaches in the world. Walk out into the water until it is shoulder high and then look through the clear blue water and count your toes! Or perhaps you would like to shop at the duty free shops in downtown Charlotte Amalie. From this historic area you can also learn of the island's Dutch roots.
Eating is an important part of any vacation and in St Thomas the choices are plentiful. Want to eat out? Old Stone Farmhouse and Indigo are jsut 5 minutes away. The island is a lovely blend of US and West Indian culture and restaurants run the spectrum. Tired of cooking and eating out? Just have a chef prepare a meal for you at your villa.
And if you are the active type you will need to prioritize as you won't be able to do it all. The list of activities is endless -- golfing, shopping, snorkeling, parasailing, windsurfing, sailing, charter a boat for deep sea fishing, or cruise the British Virgin Islands or just take a tour. Want to swim with the dolphins? Visit the Prospect Reef Resort in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Don't forget to visit the aquarium in Coral World near Red Hook on St Thomas and feed the fish, while snorkeling under water or take in the sea lion show. If you like water activities, this is the place for you!
Some guests like to use St Thomas as a base and go shopping for the day in Puerto Rico or gambling at the casinos in St Croix. Both just a quick flight away. Others go to St John from the Red Hook ferry with their car or on foot. There is not a greater concentration of beautiful beaches anywhere in the world than the national park on this Caribbean island. Be sure to check out Trunk Bay while you are here and enjoy it's beauty and the underwater snorkeling trail.
With the sound of whispering waves and cooling tradewinds gently sweeping by, this very well-equipped villa provides a wonderful spot for a relaxing vacation on St. Thomas' north side. This villa is perfect for honeymooners, or couples who just want to get away.
What more could you ask for? Come on in. The water is fine!
Note: Owner lives in separate building on premises. Privacy ensured by design. Rent either Master or cottage at Crosswinds. Note: Cottage is self contained with no access to the pool.

Why the Owner Chose Estate Peterborg
always been my dream to have a home with a view of ocean, palm trees and other islands
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Because the winter temperatures are in the mid 70's at night most pools are too cold to use. Ours is heated so if you don't want to go to the beach, you can stay home in the privacy of your own pool. Some guests never leave because the house has everyting they need in clusing the spectacular views.
