ISLA VISTA
St. John, USVI
2 Bedrooms with Bathrooms En Suite (Sleeps 4)
Tucked in its own private enclave
behind an electronic gate, Isla Vista has sweeping sea views from
its breezy hillside location. Lushly landscaped grounds surround
this two-bedroom house, which is bordered by the gorgeous Virgin
Islands National Park. The property offers wonderful seclusion yet
it’s just a few minutes' drive into Cruz Bay, Caneel Bay Hotel's
beaches and Hawksnest Beach. A few minutes farther are all the truly
beautiful north shore National Park beaches. Isla Vista features a
spacious two-level floor plan with beautiful custom interiors,
expanded by dramatic island views stretching to the horizon.
Isla Vista's breezy and secluded Caneel Hill location and amazing
views are impressive, but the interior design and the attention paid
to detail puts this house in a class by itself – from cool
travertine floors throughout; vaulted cypress ceilings; rich
mahogany cabinetry, windows and doors; custom lighting inside and
out to the artistic stained glass windows. The motif of grand arches
continues all through the house allowing each spacious room to flow
into one another. Designer furnishings are absolutely top-notch and
good looking.
Outside richly landscaped grounds and stately palms surround a
spectacular 35’ swimming pool, adjoining Jacuzzi with a
waterfall into the pool and a tiled travertine deck for sunbathing.
The view from here is like a panoramic postcard of sky and sea, Cruz
Bay, the unspoiled National Park and St. Thomas in the distance.

Isla Vista's tenants (a couple) will from time to time stay in
the apartment above the garage, outside the house. However, you
will probably not see or hear from them at all, unless you
happen to meet them by chance outside the house in the driveway
area. They cannot see into the house or to the pool and will not
enter Isla Vista during your stay - so total privacy is assured.
-
No smoking indoors
