Coral Bay, on the eastern side of St. John, is St. John's "other" community. It is a colorful, very laid back and friendly, small town. The name Coral Bay also refers to the neighborhood that surrounds the waters of St. John's largest bay (Coral Bay) From One Particular Harbour, the dazzling National Park beaches at Salt Pond Bay and Lameshur Bay are a 15-minute drive, and it's a very scenic 25-30 minute drive over Bordeaux Mountain into Cruz Bay. For groceries, restaurants and bars in the Coral Bay area, it's a 5-10 minute drive on mostly paved roads.
DESIGN. One Particular Harbour is a unique villa that was carved out of a steep mountainside in 2004. This 3-level home is bordered by tropical flowers, lush vegetation and tall stonewalls and takes maximum advantage of the fantastic views and the privacy of this quiet setting. From the parking area you ascend tiled stairs to the top floor, which houses the kitchen, dining and living rooms, half bath plus a large wraparound covered deck with knockout views. Interior or exterior stairs take you to the two equal sized, air-conditioned bedrooms and the wraparound private deck on the second level. The third air-conditioned bedroom and private deck are on the lower (ground) level and are accessed by exterior stairs. Every room of this home has a spectacular view, and every bed looks out the islands floating below you. The pool and pool deck were also carved out of the mountainside and enjoy a delightful view and clothing optional privacy.
LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN. The living room is furnished with quality wicker furniture and is equipped with a Sony TV/VCR/DVD and a stereo/cassette/cd. Recessed and screened sliding glass doors disappear into wall pockets to allow a totally unobstructed view from anywhere on the top floor. One Particular Harbour offers a choice of interior or exterior dining. Inside an expandable mahogany table seats up to 8 in the dining area of the upper level, while outside your dining table seats 6 under a covered deck that offers remarkable views. The handsome kitchen is well-equipped with mahogany cabinets and tiled countertops, a stainless steel four-burner gas stove and oven, s/s refrigerator/freezer, s/s microwave, s/s dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cookware, dinnerware and a telephone. A washer/dryer is located on the 2nd level.
CARIBBEAN VILLAS' VIEW. One Particular Harbour was carved out of a stone mountain in 2004. It was a difficult and costly building project, but the results are well worth the effort. You'll love this well-appointed and tasteful 3-bedroom villa, but it's the views and peaceful location that really set it apart. The view looks right down the Sir Francis Drake Channel. During the day scores of distant sailboats move slowly between blue seas and green islands, and at night the lights of Tortola, Peter Island, and Virgin Gorda twinkle off in the distance. This is really a lovely view, certainly one of the best in Coral Bay. Another great feature is the pool and pool deck, which offer clothing optional privacy. The unusual 3-level design of One Particular Harbour also offers very good privacy for 2-3 couples, while the two adjoining bedrooms on the 2nd floor are good for a family with older children (12 years of age or older please). One Particular Harbour's spectacular location, privacy and refined furnishings also give this villa a romantic essence that makes this a great choice for honeymooners, lovers and couples. There are at least six restaurants in the Coral Bay area that are well worth a visit. There are also two small grocery stores, a gas station and numerous small shops, all within a 5-10 minute drive. One Particular Harbour is a no smoking house.
