US Virgin Islands beachfront Villa with Pool - St John Caribbean vacation villa

Perfect privacy and spectacular ocean views lie at the heart of The Retreat's natural appeal. Sequestered behind an electronic gate, just 110' above the live coral reefs and white sands of pristine Haulover Bay on St. John's unspoiled east end, The Retreat is surrounded by the gentle sounds of the surf. Its three pavilions, inspired by a Frank Gehry design, are all on one level and are grouped around a beautifully landscaped courtyard with swimming pool and jetted hot tub. Every room of the house enjoys an ocean view - a sparkling panorama of Sir Francis Drake Channel, with the island of Tortola beyond. The Retreat's unique design, with sweeping balconies and walls of windows that roll up to the ceiling at the touch of a button, allow unhampered appreciation of St. John's perfect weather and these exclusive vistas. Two equal, air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites with additional sleeping lofts flank the main living/dining pavilion. This lovely hideaway is finished with rich slate tiles, handcrafted mahogany cabinetry, and elegant furnishings. The property of The Retreat extends down to the waterfront and includes a beach trail to a private, sandy beach.

The Retreat consists of three richly-hued pavilions centered around a private garden courtyard, on a hillside above beautiful Dreekets Bay on the secluded east end of St. John, USVI. A 40ft lap pool runs the length of the courtyard with a jetted hot-tub at one end for relaxing after a workout in the pool or a day at the beach. Comfortable lounge chairs on the deck around the pool create an ideal spot for private sunbathing. A central pavilion contains the living room and a gourmet kitchen, while the two side pavilions each contain a separate bedroom suite. Both bedroom suites have closets, separate bathrooms, balconies, and completely private slate-lined outdoor showers with a view of the sea. The bedrooms are furnished with Italian beds, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning. Sleeping lofts tucked into the roof rafters of the bedroom pavilions can accommodate kids or extra guests. Each of the two lower bedroom pavilions, while on the same level as the courtyard and living room, is completely private from the rest of the Retreat. The Retreat is designed to accommodate up to 10 guests, its two separate bedroom suites allowing families or couples to enjoy complete privacy. On either side of the main pavilion, each of the two bedroom pavilions contains a European king bed, a loft with an extra-long double bed (accessed by a pull-down wooden ladder), a separate bathroom and an outdoor shower with ocean views. Both bedroom suites are air-conditioned and are equipped with ceiling fans. The well-equipped gourmet kitchen in the main pavilion offers ocean views as well as a gas stove and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, trash-compactor, professional quality cookware, and an eating bar. A laundry area with washer and dryer is adjacent to the kitchen.

Outside Area:Built with an eye for elegant simplicity, the house perfectly complements the natural beauty of its hillside setting above one of the most pristine beaches in the world. Every room in The Retreat features breathtaking views: stand in the kitchen and watch fish swim through crystal-clear aquamarine waters or relax in bed while looking out across the bay to the island of Tortola.
