DESIGN. This is a basic but handsome 2-bedroom design with terra cotta tiled floors throughout, vaulted ceilings and interior and exterior stone walls. You park on the lower level and ascend a flight of stairs to the partially covered exterior deck, which stretches for 50 feet along the west side of the villa. From the deck you enter the 350 sq/ft great room, which is flanked by a bedroom on either side. The great room includes the living and interior dining areas plus the kitchen and a small patio behind the kitchen. Screened sliding glass doors open to the deck from the great room and each of the bedrooms.

The kitchen is separated from the living area by a handsome stone and mahogany bar. The kitchen contains a 4-burner electric stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, coffeemaker, cookware, etc. There is also a washer/dryer.

Both bedrooms are air conditioned with queen beds and both have a tiled bath with a garden shower. Nine foot screened glass doors open to the deck and let the soothing tropical breezes remind you of why you love nights on this island.

CARIBBEAN VILLA'S VIEW. Terrahawk's driveway is on the north shore road at Hawksnest Bay, across the road from the entrance to Gibney Beach. It is this exceptional location that makes Terrahawk a rare find among St. John villas. You're a short walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean - Gibney Beach - a superb white beach bordered by coconut palms, calm turquoise waters and the green hills of the National Park. There's only parking for 5-6 cars at Gibney Beach and you can't park on the road, so the beach remains pristine, beautiful and little used.

Terrahawk's proximity to Hawksnest Bay is one great feature, and so is its location within the National Park. Terrahawk offers excellent tranquility and privacy, plus beautiful views of Hawksnest Bay and the Caribbean. As the day winds down you can look forward to a stunning sunset over St. Thomas. At night there's even less traffic on the north shore road and because you're surrounded by the Park, Terrahawk takes on a very peaceful, quiet, and seemingly remote character, but you're only 5-minutes from Cruz Bay.

If you're a beach lover or naturalist, this is an ideal spot. Outside your villa the beauties of nature surround you, but inside you're in a comfort zone with full screens and a/c in every room, plus satellite TV/DVD and a stereo/CD. This is a delightful villa for 2 couples or a small family and it's also a very private and romantic spot that is ideal for honeymooners or lovers celebrating a special occasion. Compared to other north shore homes, such as the villas that we offer at Peter Bay, Terrahawk is also very affordable.
