Villa Surewinds Modern Caribbean Style

Begun in 2005 and completed in the fall of 2012, Villa Surewinds has been a labor of love. It is designed for carefree island living…… no worries, barefeet, open windows and gentle breezes. The architectural style is classic Caribbean, (think masonry construction, ceiling fans, and colonial stonework ), updated with tropical hardwoods, an open floor plan, contemporary finishes and expansive outdoor living spaces.

Villa Surewinds , as its name implies, was sited to fully capture the cooling trade winds, which bathe the house in a continual ocean breeze. There is no greater luxury than living in an open air home where you can truly experience the sights and sounds of your natural surroundings. (Just in case the wind changes, 3 bedrooms are air conditioned.) From sunrise to sunset there are views to excite the eye and calm the senses.

Surewinds is on the south side of St. Thomas in Frenchman’s Bay Estate, centrally located between Charlotte Amalie and Red Hook. The house overlooks the beach at Bolongo Bay which is the home of the USVI Diving Club. There are no neighbors, no streetlights and no traffic. Green Cay Plantation is a newly gated community featuring both luxury villas and fulltime island homes. The plantation roads are wide and safe for jogging, biking and kids at play. Surewinds is located at the end of a cul-de-sac so a stray car seldom passes by.
The floorplan is flexible for groups of all kinds... several couples, one or two families, etc. With 3 ½ bathrooms, 1 1/2 kitchens, great pool and tremendous pool deck and balconies, and sleeping space for up to 10 guests. WE ALSO OFFER THE OPTION OF ADDING THE DETACHED APARTMENT FOR LARGER GROUPS - SEE OUR LISTING 448096. If you rent only the villa, the apartment would remain empty.

The Surewinds décor can be described as “put your feet up” casual. The watchword here is “clean and simple”. There is little clutter, so there’s less to worry about. The stainless modern kitchen is fully supplied for large dinners, Wi-fi is in place (so you don’t get tooooo relaxed)! There is great space for entertaining, both indoor and out (as in a wedding). In-house catering by a noted island chef is available at an additional cost.

Main Floor: Open floor plan kitchen /dining / living room, powder room, laundry utility room, Primary Bedroom(queen bed) w/ whirlpool tub and outdoor shower.
Pool Level: Bedroom 1 (king bed + queen sofa bed), Bedroom 2 (queen bed + single bed), Bedroom 3 (trundle bed w/ 2 twins).

Finally, here are some details to consider as you plan your vacation:
*This is a quiet, private setting. You will have to find your hustle and bustle elsewhere.
*We have done our best to make the house “child-safe” by gating the pool area, but nothing can replace parental supervision in a home that’s perched on a hill.
*Only the Main House / Main Floor is accessible without climbing at least a dozen stairs. There is a single stair at the front entrance, so wheelchair access is limited. If you are traveling with children, we suggest this house for Ages 3+, but we will let you be the judge.
*There are ceiling fans in every room, the 3 main bedrooms are air-conditioned. The breeze is fabulous!
* The 11’x 14’ pool is 9’ at the deep end, and about 3’ at the shallow end. It’s great for lounging, quick cool downs and some active pool play, but it’s NOT for diving or swimming laps.
