Amazing views, great breeze, huge infinity pool & hot tub, 2-5 BR

Perched into the hill 150ft above Rendezvous Bay, our property has one of the best views on St. John despite being only a quick, easy 4 minute drive from Starfish in town.

6 King Beds, 2 Queen beds and a bunk bed (twin over full plus trundle), this makes it a total of beds for 18 in 5 bedrooms give our guests many sleeping options. Maximum occupancy is 10 adults plus 6 kids depending on age.

* 120 solar panels and 90kwh of backup batteries*

Flexible rates based on # of guests/bedrooms. Rent 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms (1 BR pool only is seperate listing). Non-booked bedrooms will remain locked but empty, you will always be the only guests and have the 3500sqft pool and hot tub area to yourselves.

POOL AREA

Highlight of the property is a 5ft deep 15x30ft infinity pool, one of the largest private pools on St. John with one of the best pool views on St. John. There is a large hot tub build into the corner of the pool with a 3hp pump and 2 HP blower for bubbles.

The pool BBQ area with firepit, 2 fridges and ice maker is on the Western side of pool and under the living room of the main level. It is sheltered from the elements - you will be comfortably cool out of the sun and out of the wind. Even during strong thunderstorms where can rain sideways here you will stay dry (unlike some gazebos style sitting areas).

For cold nights or a late night swim, the gas firepit will keep you warm and cozy. There are large decks on both sides of the pool, the left hand side has a platform that can be used as daybed or for yoga, the right hand side is a expansive deck with 8 chaise lounges. It also features a covered wet bar/honor bar, blender and coffee maker. The pool is facing east, taking maximum advantage of view and trade winds. The sunrises are spectacular and you can catch a glimpse of the sunset from the Southern end of the deck.

Easy access, no steep narrow driveway, flat, easy parking. You will arrive at the property and park your car on the level of the pool. To get to the main entrance you have to walk up about 40-50ft on a 30 degree incline over the lawn or a river rocks in concrete driveway. Not suitable for people with limited mobility. You cannot drive up to front door, you will have to carry your stuff up. In return there are zero steps throughout the property and all bedrooms on main level are on the same level with interior connection. 


LIVING AREA

While the pool is brand new and designed for a vacation rental, the main level feels more like a large family home with very large (some over 400sqft) bedrooms and a full size, fully equipped kitchen with Mahogany cabinets and granite counters that goes beyond most vacation rentals (bean to cup espresso machine, Keurig, normal coffee maker, nespresso machine, hot dog toaster, sandwich maker, ninja blender, soda maker and lots of pots, pans and utensils). Our typical guests are multigenerational families or 2 families vacationing together. I would say we are less suited for 5 couples as there are no 5 equal master suites. Each bedroom has a very unique layout and design. The pool area is always a big hit with the kids, young and old. Gen X and younger typically love our property. Boomer generation might prefer something more traditional like CinCin.

The décor is modern. There are no elaborate finishes like carved Mahagony bedposts, flowery bedskirts or fragile artisan pottery masterpieces. I return, there is less stuff to worry about that kids could break. They can run free and be as loud as they want.

The main level is overlooking the pool and has 3 patios: 37ft patio off the living room, a private 21ft patio for bedroom 4 as well as a 16x16ft deck off the back bathroom, so even when travelling in a large group you will find a quiet space to meditate or read a book. Families with young kids like the fact that the kids can’t escape to the pool via an open slider (a parent has to open the heavy front door), families with older kids enjoy privacy and peace on the large 37ft upstairs patio off the main living room while the kids have fun in the pool area. There is a second kitchenette with full size stove and fridge in the hallway to bedroom 3 and 4.

There is one bedroom and a large bathroom on the pool level, the bathroom has double shower and double vanity and can easily handle large groups coming back from beach wanting to swim, shower and use the hot tub.

There is always a good breeze blowing at hour property that keeps you cool and the mosquitos away. You can sit outside without being hot or eaten alive by mosquitos. 90-95% of the time the wind is nice to have, 5-10% of the time the wind is a little strong and you may hear it howling.

For the odd days with no wind we have state of the art inverter window A/C units in the bedroom for a good night’s sleep. The majority of our guests does not need A/C especially during the winter and spring and our pricing is based on occasional/night time use only. The property is all about indoor/outdoor living with the sliders open and a gentle breeze flowing through the house.

We can offer this property at a reasonable price as we the owners live on the same property with a separate entrance up the hill. We have our own pool and hot tub up there. Privacy is very important to us, we will not hear or see what is going on in the guest unit and you will normally not see us unless I am watering the plants in the front yard when you get back from beach. We can normally respond faster to issues and questions compared to villa management services that have many properties in their portfolio and a long drive to get to them. 3 indoor/outdoor cats live on property. They are not allowed inside the guest unit.
