Description
The Retreat Guest House on St. John, the smallest and most beautiful of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is a uniquely elegant and spectacular rental villa.
Built with an eye for elegant simplicity, the house perfectly complements the natural beauty of its setting, one of the most pristine beaches in the world. Every room in the The Retreat features breathtaking views: stand on the balcony and watch fish swim through crystal-clear aquamarine waters or relax in bed and look out across the bay to the island of Tortola. Inside, each room is elegantly furnished with hand-carved four-posted beds, slate floors, vaulted ceilings, and modern amenities.
The Retreat offers luxurious accomodations for up to 10 adults and features a jetted hot-tub, lap pool, a private path to the beach, air conditioning, gourmet kitchen, and much more.
Come stay with us, and discover the pleasure of a perfect place, a place to simply be.
The Retreat Guest House 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 40' 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. Teak lounge chairs on the deck around the pool create a perfect 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 to the rest of the Retreat.
Located on the pristine east end of St. John, Dreekets Bay is known to locals as having some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Caribbean. Reached by a beautiful drive through the National Park along paved roads from Cruz Bay, the location of The Retreat offers an experience of untouched, secluded natural beauty just a fifteen minute drive from outstanding restaurants featuring local and continental cuisine in Coral Bay.
Stunning views of the bay and across Sir Francis Drake Passage to the magnificent island of Tortola encompass you as you approach The Retreat by road. Each room of the house is oriented to maximize these sweeping vistas, second to none of St. John. No other homes overlook The Retreat, and across Dreekets Bay from the house is the untouched landscape of Virgin Islands National Park. The front of each pavilion is a glazed rollup door, allowing the entire wall to open up, allowing in tropical breezes and the view. Just 110' below the house down a private trail, the secluded sandy beach provides a perfect spot for sunbathing, snorkeling, and just relaxing.
From the balcony of the house, brilliant fish are often visible swimming in the bay, in the clearest, cleanest water on St. John. Because of its location, the beach at Dreekets Bay remains unspoiled by crowds and pollution, providing an unsurpassed setting for sunbathing, snorkeling and diving. Just offshore, waters teem with waving anemones, soft-corals, and multi-hued hard corals that shelter brilliant fish of all shapes and sizes. Dolphins and sea-turtles play offshore, and lobster, black corals, and even rare Elkhorn corals are often spotted here.
Conveniently close to the town of Coral Bay yet beautiful, pristine, and private, the location of The Retreat is perfect for romantic couples, adventure-seeking families, busy executives looking for solitude, and anyone searching for peaceful luxury in a setting of glorious natural beauty. |
