LOCATION. Coconuts is located on Gifft Hill, in a picturesque setting 700 feet above sea level, with panoramic ocean views that stretch from southwest to northwest, and as far as Vieques and Puerto Rico. The sunset and evening views are spectacular, undoubtedly some of the best on the island. The daytime views are also mesmerizing, and as the sun arcs across your horizon, the vibrant seascape before you continually changes colors. The hilltop location of Coconuts also means gentle breezes and sun on your very private pool deck from 9 AM to sunset - this is definitely a sun lover's villa (the gazebo, billiard porch, pool and a/c bedrooms provide relief, if you need it). The restaurants and shops of the fascinating village of Cruz Bay are only a 10-minute drive away, entirely on paved roads. The grounds include a flat driveway with ample room for several cars, two majestic Flamboyants that bloom all summer, extensive tropical landscaping, gently sloping side and front lawns, and a number of mature fruit trees.

DESIGN. [Note: Coconuts has recently been extensively remodeled, refurnished, and refinished.] Coconuts is a close cousin of Sea Wind and Palm Villa. As with these homes, Coconuts is a handsome example of traditional Caribbean architecture. As you walk through the entry doors, framed by two large coconut palms, you step into a lovely tropical setting of sea, sky and villa, with four hip-roofed buildings centered around a pool, and connected by decks, covered walkways, and patio gardens. The great house is a two-level building that contains the great room, the dining room, and a loft bedroom and bath. The kitchen and the great house are on one side of the pool, and the master and guest bedrooms are on the other side. With the exception of the loft bedroom and a new lower deck, all of Coconuts (driveway, entrance, pool, main deck, kitchen, great house, and the master and guest bedrooms) is on a single level, readily accommodating seniors or handicapped guests. A large hip-roofed gazebo on the main deck shelters a lovely outdoor living and dining area, with outstanding ocean and sunset views, as well as an outdoor sound system. The billiard porch features a full sized pool table, with a table tennis conversion top, and an outdoor kitchen, with a built-in gas grill, fridge, sink, Teppanyaki cook surface, illuminated bar, and granite counter dining. The pool is solar heated, keeping it warm all year round, and at night, the pool light slowly changes colors, with its diffuse hues illuminating the courtyard. The seven-person hot tub is mounted flush with the main deck, and offers panoramic ocean and sunset views. The addition of wide, gentle stairs down to a new lower deck provides unobstructed “infinity deck” ocean views from the entrance, pool, and deck chairs. Exposed beam cathedral ceilings with ceiling fans, French doors, interior gardens, arched and screened windows, terra cotta tiled floors throughout, soft romantic night lights, and spacious decks create an inviting and relaxing tropical atmosphere in this well furnished and very charming home.

LIVING/DINING. The interior living room (great room) has recently been completely refinished. With its beamed 25 foot cathedral ceilings, arched windows, and tasteful and comfortable furnishings, this a lovely place to unwind. The new, state-of-the art entertainment system includes a front projector with 100" screen, dual rattan swivel-glide recliners, a Blu-ray player with an extensive movie library of over 50 titles, a 40" flat-screen TV, HD cable with a DVR and HBO, and a new sound system with subwoofer and an iPod dock. With the provided universal memory card reader, guests can watch their photos and videos in the evening, on either the TV, or projected on the "big screen". For stargazing, or just checking out St. Thomas and the islands and boats in Pillsbury Sound, there's a pair of binoculars, as well as a 110 mm refracting telescope. Outdoor living areas include the main pool deck, the gazebo with its couch, chairs, and outdoor sound system, the new billiard porch with its pool table and outdoor kitchen, and a new large lower deck with wrap-around bench seating. All four of these expansive outdoor living areas provide the perfect spot to read, relax, and watch the sun drop into the ocean. A hammock deck to the side of the gazebo provides a great place to watch sunsets, or observe the stars.

Coconuts offers an array of dining options. Inside, the dining room seats 6-8 in a casually elegant setting in the great house. Outside, one of St. John's best tables for sunset cocktails or dinner views is reserved for your party on Coconuts’ deck, under the gazebo at a wicker and glass dining table for 6. There is also a breakfast/lunch umbrella table for 4 on the deck, and granite counter dining at the outdoor kitchen in the new billiard porch.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' COMMENTS. Coconuts was recently acquired by new owners, who immediately began to refinish, refurnish and remodel their new home. Their extensive work has been completed, and Coconuts is now more charming, comfortable and appealing than when it was new. We can say that with some confidence, because we have been renting this villa since it was first built.
Coconuts was designed by the same architect who designed Palm Villa and Sea Wind, and it has a similar layout. Based on reviews from hundreds of past guests of these villas, this 3-bedroom design, with multiple buildings centered around a pool, is one of St. John's favorites. Coconuts has always been a popular villa because it combines traditional grace with stylish comforts. Thanks to its pool, air conditioning, privacy, high-end amenities, magnificent views, stunning sunsets, and cozy intimacy, it will remain a favorite.
With a pool and decks that get sun all day, and large outdoor living and dining areas under the protection of the gazebo and billiard porch, Coconuts will please sun lovers or shade dwellers. The child friendly railings, adjoining bedrooms, and sophisticated entertainment features make this a good choice for families. With its majestic sunset and evening views, soft night lights, and warm breezes, Coconuts is also a romantic and intimate love nest that we recommend for honeymooners, couples, and lovers of any age. Like St. John itself, this villa just keeps getting better.

GUEST COMMENTS.

• My family returned last night from an incredible week on St. John. The island was beautiful with its great beaches, hikes, panoramic vistas, etc. But, beyond these, the stay at Coconuts was fabulous. Please thank the owners on our behalf for providing so many wonderful amenities to truly enhance our vacation. We loved the indoor/outdoor living -- even the occasional drizzle was not a problem. There was so much room for the 4 of us to enjoy each others company or to find a quiet spot for privacy. The outdoor kitchen tepanyaki grill was fantastic for preparing eggs for breakfast or stir-fried vegetables for dinner. We used the pool for cooling off and the hot tub for relaxation. The billiard table provided hours of family fun, and the projection screen and movie library was great for the lazy evenings at home. The gardens were lovely and the labels on the plants were very clever and informative. The instruction booklet for the villa was complete, with easy to follow directions. The bird feeders on the gazebo attracted hummingbirds, and, in fact, once, as a bird was feeding, a hawk came by, swooped down and hit the feeder on the right -- knocking the feeder and hook onto the lawn below. Finally, the views from the deck were amazing throughout the day, evening and night. Thank you for making this a perfect week on St. John.
