Orchid Hill is a newly updated 2-bedroom 2 bath home with a private pool and panoramic views that look out over Great Cruz Bay Harbor, Chocolate Hole and on a clear day, over to St. Croix. No matter where you are relaxing, you will never be disappointed by this view.
The villa was designed by the well-known architect, Glen Speer. Known for designing Mongoose Junction, he shared his design esthetic when developing the plans for Orchid Hill. You will see his love of using island-style stonework throughout this beautiful villa. From the moment you walk through the gate and up the stairs to the sun deck, your eyes will be immediately drawn to the views and infinity edge pool. Do not stop here though, as just around the corner, your colorfully landscaped walkway will bring you to the whimsical courtyard and entrance to the villa that you will call home.
As you enter the main house, your interior air-conditioned great room has been lovingly decorated with comfort in mind. Located to the right of the living area, is one of the primary bedrooms with ensuite bath and just behind the living room and facing out to the views, is your well-equipped kitchen. The second primary bedroom with ensuite bath is located on the far left of the home.
The ‘piéce de résistance’, of Orchid Hill is the magnificent covered outdoor living area. Centered between the main house and the second primary bedroom, this spacious living area includes comfortable furnishings, perfect for relaxing and spending time together. You may find, you will never want to leave.
Perfect for honeymooners, couples, and families with older children. Make your reservations now and let the ever-present tropical breezes wash away your daily stress and envelop you in its welcoming arms.
At the south tip of the peninsula between Great Cruz Bay Harbor and Chocolate Hole Harbor is a perfect place called Maria Bluff.

Living And Dining: Your air-conditioned living area is beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished. It includes a flat screen smart TV; just log into your Hulu/Netflix account to watch your favorite movie or TV show. Or, with the oversized windows, you may find yourself mesmerized by the ever changing turquoise waters and boats gliding by throughout the day. No matter your choice, you are sure to relax and unwind. For your dining pleasure, enjoy a meal in air-conditioned comfort at your interior dining table for 4-6. And for that morning cup of coffee, pull up one of the bar stools in the kitchen, to chart out your plans for the day.
In our personal opinion, the most spectacular feature of Orchid Hill, and there are many, is the indoor-outdoor living area, which is the centerpiece of this beautiful home. Located to the left of the great room, you will exit through a door to 'heaven' on St John. With its comfortable, cushioned couches, outside dining table for 4 and the breathtaking views of Great Cruz Bay and beyond, you will be in awe that this is where you have chosen to spend your vacation. If you are an early riser, put your feet up and watch as the sun rises over the horizon. In the afternoon, make your way to the hammock and take an afternoon 'siesta, and if the evenings, spend time together, reconnecting and creating beautiful memories together.
Kitchen: The well equipped kitchen is located behind the living room, yet faces out to the magnificent views. So, if you are the designated 'chef', you will enjoy preparing a delicious, home cooked meal from this local. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances including your refrigerator freezer, gas range/oven, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, coffeemaker and the very important blender. A washer/dryer is also available for your use during your stay.
Bedroom Details: The two air-conditioned bedrooms are equal in size and amenities. They are located on opposite sides of the villa to offer maximum privacy for guests. The primary bedroom on the right has interior access off the great room and includes a king bed and private en-suite bathroom with tiled shower. The second primary bedroom is outside access off the outside living area, and includes a king bed and private en-suite bath with tiled shower. No matter which bedroom you choose, you are sure to enjoy the gorgeous views.
