Brisas Del Mar

BRISAS DEL MAR – ESTATE CAROLINA

Brisas del Mar is located on the quiet side of St John overlooking Coral Bay, a 30 minute drive from Cruz Bay. The villa is situated less than a 10 minute drive to groceries, shops, restaurants and bars in Coral Bay. Several beautiful national park beaches are a 15 to 25 minute drive.

The villa structure survived the fury of two category 5 hurricanes in September 2017, but it has taken many months to repair the decks, the balcony roof, and the interior. There are new windows, doors, ceiling fans, new deck railings, hurricane shutters, new bedroom furniture and a new hot tub. The house has been completely repainted.

Enjoy the beautiful sunrise and Caribbean sea breezes from this villa perched 250 feet above Coral Bay on the western hillside. This quaint harbor is filled with cruising sailboats from St John and other ports throughout the western hemisphere.

Brisas del Mar is primarily a one-level villa with the pool and deck directly outside the sliding glass doors. Hot tub located on the lower level deck. The house has tiled floors throughout, beamed and vaulted ceilings, and ceiling fans in every room. There is no air conditioning, since the south-easterly breezes are almost constant. The great room affords expansive views of East End and the British Virgin Islands through two sets of screened sliding glass windows.

All 3 bedrooms have sliding doors with similar east views. Two en suite bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the villa on the main level to ensure maximum privacy. A spiral staircase leads to the third en suite bedroom with private balcony and spectacular sunrise vistas. Bed linens, towels and beach towels are provided.

The living area includes cable TV, WIFI internet access, DVD, stereo with CD and cassette deck player, books, games, puzzles, and tropical artwork. There is ample seating for diners from the casual bar to the formal mahogany table seating six or enjoy the views from the glass-top table on the deck outside seating up to six. The well equipped kitchen features mahogany cabinets and countertops, a native stone and mahogany island/bar, stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemakers, espresso machine, toaster, blender, mixer, cookware and dinnerware.

An outdoor gas grill and laundry room with washer and dryer complete the “at home in paradise” atmosphere. Ice chests in several sizes and beach chairs are available for island exploring.

Relax and enjoy the extensive views of Coral Bay and the British Virgin Islands all the way to Virgin Gorda from a pool-side chaise or the hot tub. The almost constant tropical breeze and multiple ceiling fans keep the house cool throughout the day and night.

Access to the villa is on an adventurous partially paved road which may be rough in places. Although the drive with curves and switch-backs is less than 1/2 mile, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.
