LOCATION. Monte Bay was one of the first homes built in Klein Bay in1992. Because Monte’s owner got in early, Monte enjoys one of the finest waterfront settings in Klein and Rendezvous Bays and, some would argue, the entire south shore of St. John. Monte is tucked into an unusually peaceful, quiet and beautiful setting overlooking the turquoise waters of Rendezvous Bay. Monte faces south–southwest and is a sun lover’s home that basks in soft breezes and sun all day long.

Klein Bay has a pebble beach that you can easily walk to, while the white sand beach at Ditliff Point is a 10-15 minute swim/snorkel. Both Ditliff Beach and Klein Bay are protected by Ditliff Peninsula, so the calm, crystal clear waters are sheltered from heavy surf and strong winds and offer very good swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Klein Bay is a 10-15 minute drive from the groceries, restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay, all on paved roads.

DESIGN. Monte Bay is a very handsome 2-½ level, custom design that blends traditional Caribbean architectural features with modern comforts and amenities. Classic architectural elements include; terra cotta tiled floors, beamed cathedral ceilings, private balconies, tiled decks, arched windows and a French tiled roof. Modern creature comforts and amenities include air-conditioned bedrooms, a cherry and granite gourmet kitchen, a tiled pool, a hot tub and an exercise room.

To enter Monte you park above the house and descend a flight of stairs into the kitchen/formal dining area on the upper level of the house. The gorgeous interior great room and two guest bedrooms are 3 steps below the kitchen/dining area, while below the interior great room is the oh so-o-o relaxing and beautiful exterior great room (the gallery). From the gallery, tiled stairs lead to the lower level and the master bedroom, a 30' ceramic tiled pool, large pool deck and surrounding gardens, and the 4th (poolside) bedroom. A second set of stairs from the gallery leads to the other side of the house and an exercise room and a secluded hot tub nestled into a romantic setting. Banana, papaya, palm and other abundant vegetation surrounds the house and creates superb clothing optional privacy, while hibiscus, bougainvillea, oleander and other flowering plants cascade down the hillside in a profusion of color.

INTERIOR and EXTERIOR GREAT ROOMS plus DINING. As you enter Monte the kitchen is on your right, the formal dining room is on your left and the spacious, interior great room is 3 steps below the kitchen/dining areas. A convenient powder room with half bath is located off the kitchen. The dining room is centered around an antique mahogany dining set that seats 8, while casual lunches may be served on the pool deck or in the gallery.
The stylish, interior great room is furnished with top of the line wicker furniture, and includes a cable color TV/DVD and a stereo with CD and cassette.

The gallery is another design features that makes Monte a supremely comfortable and unique home. The gallery is surrounded on 3 sides by Mediterranean styled, 12 foot, open arched windows that effectively capture all the beauty of the Caribbean. The gallery is tastefully furnished in cushioned wicker furniture by Lloyd Flanders and is an absolutely splendid place to read, relax and unwind.

This modern kitchen includes a Decor 4-burner gas cook top stove, Decor standard and convection ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, a microwave oven and dishwasher and a granite countertop bar with bar stools. The kitchen is amply supplied with cooking supplies, utensils and dinnerware.

BEDROOMS. On the upper level two very inviting guest bedrooms (queen beds) are located on opposite sides of the house to insure maximum privacy. Both guest bedrooms have air conditioning, 4-poster mahogany beds, tiled floors, vaulted ceilings and screened sliding glass doors that open to balconies with picturesque views. They also have tiled baths and private outdoor stone garden showers that are surrounded by luxuriant tropical foliage. The spacious, air-conditioned master bedroom (king bed) is on the lower level and features lovely views of the Caribbean through 20' screened sliding glass doors. The master bedroom also includes a large bath/dressing room that is entered through beautiful stone arches. The fourth a/c bedroom (king bed) and bath adjoins the pool deck on the lower level and is perfect for young adults, singles or nannies.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' COMMENTS. Although Monte is actually tucked into a private corner of Rendezvous Bay that is appropriately called Monte Bay, Monte (the villa) is actually a part of the exclusive St. John neighborhood known as Klein Bay. If this is a bit confusing, by whatever name you call it, this location is one of the finest waterfront settings on the south shore of St John. With its clothing optional privacy, Monte Bay (the villa and the bay) are a beautiful slice of paradise. With no villas on one side and Villa Rendezvous well hidden by tropical vegetation on the other side, your privacy, peace and quiet is well assured.

Monte’s proximity to the water - it seems like you’re cantilevered out over the water - gives it a very special essence. Sounds of gentle surf and vivid shades of turquoise and blue continuously surround you. Monte is another fine example of what we call a magnet home. When you’re relaxing by the pool, in the gallery or the bedrooms, the feeling of relaxed contentment is so strong that you can get stuck to your villa. Despite all the wonderful beaches, swimming, snorkeling, hiking trails, shops, restaurants and activities that St John offers, it’s hard to leave your villa.
In 2003 Monte was purchased by a couple who have a well-established track record for creating truly beautiful island vacation homes. In the summer and fall of 2003 Monte was thoroughly remodeled and refurnished, and a talented mother-daughter team was commissioned to fill the house with bright, Caribbean inspired artwork. The exterior walls remain the same, but the kitchen, dining room, great rooms, bedrooms and artwork are all new as of 03. The interior beauty of this villa again equals the beauty of the setting, and as the accompanying photos show, Monte Bay remains one of St John’s most appealing and captivating rental villas.

This is a very romantic home that is ideal for an upscale honeymoon, anniversary, special occasion or just an amorous getaway. Monte will accommodate 1-3 couples in superb comfort and privacy. With its waterfront location, pool and bedroom arrangement, Monte has also proven to be very popular with families and the 4th bedroom is well suited for kids, in laws or nannies. If Monte Bay is unavailable for the dates that you desire, take a look at its beautiful new neighbor Casa Del Sol or its impressive neighbors in Klein Bay, Serenata De La Playa, and Villa Rendezvous.
