LOCATION. Ellison is located in the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates, which is a neighborhood of recently built, luxury vacation homes. Like its neighbor South Palm,
Ellison has a picturesque view over looking Great Cruz Bay, the
Caribbean Sea, Dog Island, the St James Islands, St. Thomas and other
islands. You’ll also enjoy colorful sunset views and at night you can
see the twinkling lights of southeast St. Thomas. As of February, 2008,
Ellison is the only house on its drive and with no abutting neighbors
Ellison enjoys a pleasant feeling of seclusion, even though South Palm
is 3 lots to the east. This desirable location is peaceful and quiet,
and private enough for discreet clothing optional sunbathing. Ellison
faces southwest, so you’ll have sun on the pool deck from morning to
sunset. Although you don’t view or hear the Westin, it’s only about a ¼
mile walk, and we think you’ll find a few reasons - the beach bar, boat
rentals, a massage, fitness facilities, shops - to wander down the
hill. Walking back (up) to your villa takes a bit more effort, but of
all the Virgin Grand Estates villas, Ellison (and South Palm) have the
easiest walks to the Westin. The many restaurants, bars, shops and
other delights of the village of Cruz Bay are a 10-15 minute drive,
entirely on paved roads. |

DESIGN.
Ellison’s design uses 3-levels of living space to create a valued sense
of privacy and spaciousness. You park on the ground level in the front
of the villa and ascend a set of stairs to the pool deck level. The
large tiled pool deck (830 sq/ft) has the pool and a half bath at one
end of the deck and a pool bar/lounge with a wet bar, refrigerator, TV
and stereo at the other end. Another set of exterior stairs leads up to
the 2nd level. This level contains the 680 sq/ft great room with
living, dining and kitchen facilities, plus another half bath. Two
master bedrooms are also on the 2nd level. The east master bedroom is
on the left side of the great room (looking at the water), while the
laundry room and the west master bedroom are on the right. A 60 foot
covered deck, complete with deck furniture and exterior dining, runs
the entire length of the 2nd level. A 3rd set of stairs takes you to
the 3rd level with the upper master bedroom/ bath, private balcony and
the best views.

Bedrooms.
Each air conditioned bedroom is identical in size and all face
southwest to capture the views through screened sliding glass doors.
All the bedrooms have king beds, a satellite TV/DVD and adequate closet
space. Each has a tiled bath with granite countertops, cherry cabinets
and an indoor/outdoor stone shower. The bedrooms are thoughtfully
located to maximize privacy with 2 bedrooms on the 2nd level, one on
each side of the great room, and the 3rd bedroom all by itself on the
3rd level. All towels and linens for 6 people are included. |

Caribbean Villa's View. Our
sales staff stayed at Ellison in 2008 and Ellison generated some
excellent reviews from some of our most critical and experienced villa
consultants. Everyone liked the undisturbed and seemingly secluded
location - we say seemingly secluded, because South Palm
is 3 lots to the east and the Westin is a 5-minute walk down the hill.
Nonetheless, as of February, 2008 Ellison has one of the most peaceful
and private sites within the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates. We also
like the 2-deck design with a large sunny deck on the 1st level and a
large shaded deck on the 2nd level - something for everyone, and both
with lovely views and comfortable deck furniture.
This is an excellent home for 2-3 couples, or honeymooners or lovers looking for a romantic and seemingly secluded, but also convenient, location. |
