Skyridge

This ridge-top vacation villa rental, only minutes from top-ten beach Trunk Bay on St. John, USVI and "laid back” sailing community Coral Bay, is a magnificent newly remodeled rental home.  Features include lush flowering gardens, a lovely tiled pool and patio, and multiple decks with outstanding panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands, and beautiful Bordeaux Mountain. Private and quiet "Skyridge" is one of St. John's most desirable rentals for your dream vacation. 

This large open floor plan tree-top villa is perfect for two to four people with high beamed ceilings and two lovely large bedrooms with private baths.  Paved roads in the exclusive Upper Carolina estate take you to this lovely ridge-top villa for the most incredible views.  Bordering the National Park, private and quiet Skyridge sits at 600 feet and two large decks and many sliders and windows open the house to mountain vistas, and gorgeous panoramic views of the turquoise sea and fourteen islands.  There are ceiling fans in every room and the cooling sea breezes flow through the house.  Bedrooms are air conditioned if desired.  A laundry with washer and dryer is on site for guest's use and the house is fully stocked with linens.

Perfectly located, Skyridge is only minutes from St. John’s North shore "top 10" voted beaches in the world for swimming or snorkeling.  Skyridge is fully equipped for your comfort and enjoyment with coolers, beach towels and chairs for you to use. Or head to the "laid back" ambiance of Coral Bay, only five minutes away.  Coral Bay has recently built up from the sailing community it used to be and now features quite a few nice restaurants and shopping, including a gourmet market.  “Love City” mini mart is still here for groceries also.  And Coral Bay’s world famous “Skinny Legs” beach bar is still voted the best “Cheeseburger in Paradise” … or order a delicious pizza at Donkey Diner to take back to Skyridge.  Cruz Bay with all of its offerings is only 15 minutes away.  Or hit the deck hammock for a nap!
	Skyridge has recently been remodeled and painted.  The spacious high beamed ceiling Great Room has new comfortable wicker furnishings and fun whimsical decor.
There is a fully equipped entertainment center with a stereo and HD flat screen TV with DVD player and cable.  A nice selection is there, and you can rent DVDs in Coral Bay, or bring your favorite music and movies to make "Skyridge" truly yours.
		The large teak table is great for dining inside or playing games.  Skyridge's game closet is fully stocked from poker supplies, board games, to puzzles!  The pool overlook deck on this side has outside dining too.
The fully equipped kitchen was just remodeled and has new appliances and everything you'll need for cooking any of your meals "at home"!  New large refrigerator, stove /convection oven, cook top range, microwave, toaster, blender and coffeemaker.  Phones and modem connections are provided. There is also a poolside gas barbeque that is perfect for grilling and dining by the pool.
	The kitchen has a handy pass-though window to the deck's outside dining area with bar height table and chairs for some of the best views and breezes in the Caribbean.  Sitting here and watching the birds and hundreds of sailboats that navigate the Sir Francis Drake Channel daily is a peaceful and entertaining experience, so be sure to bring your binoculars and camera!  You never know what you will see . . .

The house is situated perfectly for breezes and for beautiful sunrise and sunset color, but not the glaring heat one would get if directly facing west or east.  Happy hour on deck with tropical rum blender drinks is not be missed!

During the morning, put out some sugar for the many birds. Hawks can be seen hunting below and yellow and black bananaquits and four varieties of hummingbirds visit daily.
The night brings countless stars and the lovely lights of homes on Tortola and Jost Van Dyke and moored ships in the Narrows.  If you happen to be here during a full moon, seeing it light up the sea as it rises over the channel is an unforgettable experience!
Located off the Great Room are two bedrooms, each with a private bath featuring a wonderful outdoor shower area with a spectacular view of the ocean and stars.  Although tree-top Skyridge is usually nice and cool, each bedroom can be air-conditioned separately.  Everything you need is already here - linens, hair dryers, iron and ironing board!
	The west bedroom has a comfortable king bed with five mountain view windows, and a large double sink bathroom with outdoor shower facing the sea.
		The east bedroom has four windows with ocean and garden views and it can be converted into twin beds or a king.  There is a desk/bureau with phone/modem just right for checking mail.  Perfect for two couples or a couple with children over twelve.

	For larger groups of more than four people, the middle level of the villa is opened.  This is a separate duplex and at 1200 square feet with three colorful bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and Great Room and decks, it is large enough to be its own house! There is a comfortable and colorful wicker furniture living room with TV and stereo.  The kitchen is fully equipped and has a dining table. Pick your own limes from this level’s living room deck!  Although usually pleasingly cool with wonderful breezes, each bedroom can be air-conditioned also.
	The queen suite, complete with private bath, is located off the Great Room.  Sliding doors lead to a comfortable deck with panoramic views of the sea, the British Virgin Islands and the flowering garden.
	The king suite and bathroom (with an outdoor ocean view shower!) is large and is accessed from the Great Room or by a separate stairway entryway. The same deck with great views and breezes is also accessible through a screen door.
The third bedroom is smaller and although cute and comfortable, it shares a bath with the king suite so for your comfort, we prefer to leave it unoccupied.

	The lush one-half acre professionally landscaped garden is home to many birds and is constantly in bloom with tropical plants including bougainvillea, gardenia, hibiscus,  and bird of paradise.  Pick your own bananas, papaya, mango, coconuts, soursop, cashews, guava and limes from the fruit trees in season!  Rent at Christmas and see the vivid 20 ft tall poinsettia beside the deck!
	The decorative tile pool is one of the most relaxing on St. John and has beautiful mountain views by day and countless stars and lights by night.  The large tiled patio around it features a gas barbeque grill, outside shower and comfortable lounge and dining furniture.  It is completely quiet and private, surrounded by banana and palm trees.  For visits to the magnificent beaches ten minutes away, there are beach chairs, coolers and beach towels.  A carport shower is garden level for sand rinses after the beach as well as the poolside shower.

	The views to the north and south from Skyridge are truly spectacular.  From small cays and to the British Virgin Islands, the villa's quiet ridge-top location boasts panoramic vistas and delightful breezes that only a handful of St. John properties can offer.
This rental home was designed to please all your senses and provide a home-away-from-home for your outstanding St. John "Love City" vacation.

For the best views that St. John has to offer and quality, unforgettable accommodations, "Skyridge" should be on the top of your list of villas to consider.
