AURORA
St. John, USVI
3 - 4 Bedrooms and 3.5- 4.5 Bathrooms (Sleeps 6 - 8)
Aurora is a wonderfully designed 2,400 square foot house located on
Contant Point. This area combines convenience with seclusion and
spectacular views from sunrise to sunset. Aurora is minutes from town
on a fully paved road and a few minutes more from St. John's white sand
beaches and great snorkeling. Comprised of two buildings surrounded by
lush tropical foliage and bougainvillea-filled rock gardens, the house
has broad decks framed by formal Grecian columns. Aurora’s main focus
is the courtyard pool terrace with its sunny and shaded areas and
glorious views of the sapphire sea, St. Thomas and Great Cruz Bay. At
night the twinkling lights on St. Thomas are magical.
One enters this very private property via steps, which lead down to an
entrance pavilion and the villa’s main level. On either side of the
pavilion, allamanda-laden pergolas connect the west wing, with the
living/dining area and apartment below to the two-story east bedroom
wing. From the main level more stairs lead down to the upper terrace
and then a few more broad steps down to the 17’ x 22’ pool. Aurora is a
wonderfully designed house, which affords privacy for all guests, very
comfy furnishings and fabulous views.
