C'est Bleu

Afloat, above Great Cruz Bay

Design. C'est Bleu is a spacious, lovely estate home that consists of three buildings plus a 2-car garage. The 3 buildings are connected by coral stone walkways that traverse beautifully maintained lawns and courtyards. You approach C'est Bleu through a gated entry into the garage and parking area, which are located above the house. A tiled stairway leads down to an open courtyard and the entry foyer of the 2-story Great House. The Great House contains the kitchen, living and dining rooms plus a powder room on the lower level, and two upper level bedrooms that are accessed by covered stairs. Screened French doors open from the Great House to a large, tiled veranda that is bordered by Doric columns, a 40-foot pool and a 4-person hot tub. Walkways lead through a landscaped courtyard to the semi secluded 2-level South House, with two more bedrooms with superb views. On the north side of the Great House, walkways lead through another garden courtyard to the Pool House, which holds the outdoor (2nd) kitchen on the lower level and the master bedroom on the upper level. A stunning patio lies out front, and is steps away from the chessboard gazebo.

The living room - looking toward the dining room and kitchen

Living / Dining / Kitchen. The best words to describe these rooms are lovely and elegant. With its massive beamed cathedral ceiling, working fireplace, French doors, comfortable furnishings, and central a/c, the great room has the feel of a Georgetown or Beacon Hill townhouse that has been relocated to a tropical island. A surround-sound entertainment system includes a satellite tv and vcr/dvd plus a stereo/cassette/cd player. The stereo system plus the acoustics of the room combine to provide some really excellent sound quality.
The formal dining room provides a lovely setting for 8-10 at the European pine table. On the tiled veranda just outside the dining room there are tables for 8 and the Pool House contains a third dining area at a colorful tiled table that seats 12.
The primary kitchen is the ultimate in beauty and functionality. The ceiling is beamed, the floors are tiled, the cabinets and appliance fronts are all hand rubbed cherry and the countertops and island bar are granite. The cobalt blue, 6-burner gas stove is hooded with a double oven and grill. This kitchen includes a dishwasher, microwave, wine rack and all the small appliances, dinnerware and cookware that you would expect in an high-end kitchen. A laundry room is located off the kitchen.
The Pool House kitchen, with its beamed and pickled cathedral ceiling, tiled floors and open exposure, is also a terrific spot to entertain and relax. This is a full outdoor kitchen with a Viking stainless steel rotisserie grill and range top, a large refrigerator/freezer, an icemaker and dishwasher. A granite peninsula bar separates the kitchen from the dining area. A stunning tiled patio adjoins the outdoor kitchen/dining area and is steps away from the oversized, tiled chessboard and gazebo.

Caribbean Villas' View. This beautiful tropical home, which blends both traditional and modern features, was completed in the spring of 2004 and was purchased by its present owners in 2005.
As the photos show, everything about this villa is attractive, but what the photos don’t capture are the many small touches and construction details that help give this home its refined character. Everything in this home is well thought out and skillfully executed, and the entire estate has a very lovely essence. From the private and exclusive location, to the grand estate design, to the well-appointed and beautiful interior, C’est Blue is a magnificent villa that deserves to be an Ultra Luxury Villa of St. John.
The photos also don’t capture C’est Blue’s exceptional level of maintenance and upkeep. These owners are very demanding when it comes to maintaining the house and grounds. They also own and vacation aboard their 110 foot yacht, and nobody knows more about expensive upkeep and operating costs than yacht owners. The yacht and C’est Blue are both maintained in what sailors call Bristol fashion, or what we in the real estate business refer to as truly excellent condition. C’est Blue displays the same level of excellence, beauty and quality found in the finest Peter Bay homes, such as Mermaid Falls. If you are demanding and desire perfection in overall villa condition, C’est Blue will not disappoint.
One of the centerpieces of C’est Blue’s landscaping are the majestic 50 foot date palms that were imported from California. Along with the date palms, the entire grounds are beautifully and abundantly landscaped and maintained. This tropical landscaping, in combination with the design, gives C’est Blue a sense of tropical elegance and privacy, yet the delights of Cruz Bay are a 10-15 minute drive on paved roads.
C’est Blue was designed to accommodate 5 couples in near equal luxury and privacy, while also providing elegant interior and exterior common areas where everyone can be together. We highly recommend this 5 star villa for couples, small business meetings, and families with children.
