About the Property

LUXURY.PRIVATE. POOL.ROMANTIC. HONEYMOON.ANNIVERSARY. BEACH.

If you are looking for a serene and romantic tropical hideaway in a luxury renovated cottage, 5 minutes to everything, this is The Secret.

Once you are inside your private compound, behind your big garden gate, you are in your own private world. This is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. We hang original art and everything is designed to relax and nurture the soul.

This totally private residence is the perfect place for romance; honeymoons; anniversaries or simply uninterrupted relaxation. Tiled in diamond cut porcelain, the cottage features wall to ceiling glass overlooking your private pool; a gourmet kitchen and a sunken shower that is a destination in itself.

The bedroom features ice cool air conditioning with remote control; a king Ritz Carlton bed and a TV with remote control in case you want to watch a movie in bed.. You will fall asleep in the cool air to the music of palms rustling in the breeze.

Your beautiful gourmet kitchen features workspaces and bar in honeycomb tile; a large stainless steel refrigerator; glass hob and dishwasher.

You can enjoy eating at the bar; the formal dining table or enjoy coffee or dinner al fresco by your private pool. Dining or relaxing on your recliners you will see beautiful humming birds and tropical flowers.

Car: Recommended

This is a great location for a two center eco and ocean vacation: St Thomas AND St John.

The location of the cottage is close to the tip of St. Thomas where it almost touches St. John. You can take the 'people ferry' over to Cruz Bay for dinner or to listen to music or, if you have a car , take it across Pillsbury Sound on the 'barge' to explore the National Park for the day. You can walk across to the Sapphire Beach Marina to take the most amazing power boat trip around the BVI and see the famous rock formations at Virgin Gorda' or to take a snorkeling day sail to the St John National Park or a sunset sail around the beaches and islands.

Your view is towards Pelican Beach and Pelican Point across a swathe of protected eastern caribbean jungle that is rich in flora and fauna, with the islands of Tortola and St. John beyond.

Although hidden away and surrounded by nature you are only 5 minutes from Red Hook, the centre of dining and night life on the island. Hidden away, no one will know you are there but if you want to go out at night you are close to everything and can have a lot of fun.

You are also next door to part of the Saint Thomas National Park.

Lindquist Beach (Smith beach) is perhaps the prettiest, most unspoiled beach on the island. You can relax on your beach chair in the shade of a sea grape tree, sipping your drink and put your toes in the clear water. Ah...paradise.
