Bordo Mare: Luxury Oceanfront, Pool, 100% A/C, Generator, 8 min to Cruz Bay

Perched 100' above the Caribbean Sea you will enjoy sweeping ocean views from every room in your oceanfront 2 bedroom 2.5 bath luxury villa. One of the many unique features of Bordo Mare are "accordion doors" that can be completely opened to seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living spaces, enabling you to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and feel of ocean breezes throughout your villa. Located in the prestigious neighborhood of Maria Bluff, your villa is an easy 8 minute drive to the restaurants, shops, and nightlife in Cruz Bay, and 10 to 15 minutes from several of St. John's world famous beaches.

Built in 2014, Bordo Mare offers a modern 1700 square foot two-level floorplan. The lower level features a well-stocked chef's kitchen with ample cooking and serving equipment (including both coffee & Nespresso machines). The living room and dining room each feature "accordion doors" that lead to a large oceanfront balcony with both lounging and dining areas. There is a half bath with two doors accessible from both inside and outside your villa that provides convenient bath access from the pool and balcony.

The upper level features 2 king bedrooms, each with a private bath and "accordion doors" that lead to a large shared oceanfront balcony. Many guests enjoy watching whales and dolphins breach the ocean surface the balconies (binoculars are provided if you wish to get a closer look). Looking down from the balconies and slightly to the right you will see a reef along the rocky shoreline where sea turtles and sting rays can be spotted searching for food in the shallow water.

An internal staircase connects the upper and lower levels, eliminating the need to go outside to access bedrooms as is the case in the many "pod-style" villas that pervade the St. John rental market, a welcome feature during rain showers and for families with children. Outside your villa is a large patio with an oceanfront infinity edge pool that has a built-in table with 4 stools to enjoy your favorite concoctions while cooling off in the pool. There is ample outdoor lounging and dining options on the patio as well, along with a built-in propane grill for outdoor cooking. A courtesy cooler, beach chairs, and beach towels are provided for visits to St. John's world famous beaches.

High speed wireless Internet is accessible everywhere indoors and out. There is off-street parking for 2 vehicles with ample space to turn around. The water supply in your villa is filtered by a top-of-the-line 3-stage UV water filtration system that delivers bottled water quality through every faucet in your villa, and an automatic backup generator keeps you powered up through the occasional power outages that occur on this remote island paradise.

The location of your villa is among the most sought after on the island. In addition to being in a premier neighborhood close to town, your villa was built on a rocky peninsula facing south. The southern exposure treats you to amazing sunrises and sunsets and the steady easterly trade winds that provide constant cooling relief from the Caribbean heat. The dry rocky terrain, peninsula location and steady ocean breezes all lead to fewer mosquitos to annoy you when sitting on your balcony with glass of wine enjoying the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, St. Thomas, and smaller nearby islands. You will instantly fall in love with this idyllic experience which becomes a daily ritual for many guests. The video below provides an aerial tour of Bordo Mare and Sopra Mare.
