Location. Coco De Mer is located in the top row of homes in
the exclusive enclave of Peter Bay, along St John's north shore. Just below Coco De Mer, but hidden from view, are Coco's neighbors Sea Cove and Delfina, while the Peter Bay Beach House sits on the beach and Mermaid Falls
looks down from upper Peter Bay. Peter Bay is one of the few parcels of
pristine north shore land that was not deeded over to the National
Park, and today it remains private, peaceful, and exceptionally
picturesque, surrounded by the forests, waters and reefs of the
National Park.
The Peter Bay homes (as of
June, 2007 there were about 15 homes) all have deeded access to the
private beach at Peter Bay, which is located between the National Park
beaches at Trunk and Cinnamon Bays. From Coco De Mer it's about a
5-minute walk to the beach and the calm 82 degree waters provide
excellent swimming and good snorkeling. On a perfect beach day the
National park beaches will host hundreds of people, but it's rare to
see even a handful of people on Peter Bay (it's privately owned).
The gorgeous views from Coco De Mer look north and east and include the
lush mountains of Tortola and St. John, including Cinnamon, Maho and
Francis Bays, and Whistling Cay, and Great Thatch. It's a 5-10 minute,
incredibly picturesque drive to the 5 star Caneel Bay Resort, and
another 5-10 minute drive to the excellent restaurants, shops and
groceries in the charming town of Cruz Bay.

The Great House of Coco De Mer
The west bedrooms
Design.
Coco De Mer is a spacious villa that consists of three separate
buildings - a two level great house, a two level bedroom pavilion on
the left (west) of the great house, and a very private one bedroom
pavilion on the right. You park above the house, descend to a coral
stone courtyard and enter into the great room, which contains the
kitchen, living and dining rooms plus a half bath. Multiple screened
French doors in the great room open to lovely views and the spacious 36
foot long covered deck that runs the length of the great room. Exterior
stairs lead to the oversized pool and sun deck and the lower level of
the great house with 2 bedrooms/baths plus a full bath for the pool
area. A garden path or stairs from the great house lead to the very
private fifth bedroom. The oversized 6-8 person hot tub is just below
the pool in a romantic garden setting. One of the most unusual
architectural features of Coco is the terraced amphitheater that
descends from the upper level to the pool deck, with built in seating,
Bose outdoor speakers and a central mosaic. The amphitheater makes Coco
a superb home for functions. |

The living room
The living Area,
along with the dining and kitchen areas occupy the upper level of the
great house. Tiled floors, vaulted beamed ceilings and rich hardwoods
define this comfortable area. French doors open to a sizeable balcony
that provides magnificent views and seems like an outdoor extension of
the living area. The centerpiece of the living room is the
entertainment center with satellite TV/VCR/CD and a music and movie
collection. |
The interior dining area
This is a beautiful place to dine, and...
The interior Dining
table is a handcrafted mahogany table that seats 10. Outside, on the
stone terrace a few steps from the built in barbeque, there is a table
for 10 with a view that is unbeatable. |
...you have the best seat in the house.
The kitchen
The elegant and completely equipped Kitchen
is filled with rich mahogany cabinetry that is accented by ceramic
counter tiles. The kitchen appliances and hardware is all high quality
and includes a stainless steel gas grill, refrigerator/freezer with
icemaker and dishwasher. A gas barbeque grill, washer/dryer and a fax
and answering machine are also included. |

Bedroom 3
Bedrooms. All of Coco De Mer's bedrooms have king beds (bedroom # 3 has a set of twin beds that convert to a
king), and all are air conditioned. Every bedroom has screened French doors that open to Cinnamon Bay views,
and a deck or balcony. The bedrooms are all similar in size and
quality, although bedroom 1 is somewhat larger and is preferred for its
generous balcony and views, while bedroom 5 is favored for its privacy
and views. All the bedrooms have a 23 inch flat screen satellite
TV/DVD, and a bedside iHome (an AM/FM stereo with an iPod dock), and a
tiled bath and shower.

Caribbean Villas’ View. With its exceptional National Park location, Peter Bay
has become one of the Caribbean's most exclusive enclaves of privately
owned luxury villas. The Peter Bay collection now includes Delfina, Mermaid Falls, the Peter Bay Beach House, Sea Cove, and Coco De Mer. These Ultra Luxury Villas
are all custom built homes, with each having a unique design,
furnishings and character, and all are valued in the 5 - 10 million
dollar range. Although Coco De Mer is located in a very exclusive
neighborhood, it remains a villa of great distinction.
Coco De Mer exchanged hands in June of 2007. Coco's new owners also own the delightful 3-bedroom Cinnamon Bay Estates,
a very attractive home overlooking Cinnamon Bay. Coco earned a 5-star
rating in 2003, and again in 2007. With its new owners, Coco is quite
likely to maintain and even improve on its 5-star rating.
Some of Coco's distinctive features that we think you will greatly enjoy include; |
The ampitheater
|
-
Its
top row position in lower Peter Bay. Coco has one of the best views of
the beautiful light show that takes place almost daily in Cinnamon Bay.
The bay's white sands give its waters a brilliant turquoise color, but
as puffy white clouds skate across the sky, the cloud shadows change
patches of water from bright turquoise to blue-green to blotches of ink
blue. Each day is different, but from about 10 am to 3 pm Mother Nature
usually puts on a spectacular show, and Coco De Mer has the best spot
to view this fascinating display of tropical colors.
-
Its
sun factor. This is a villa for lovers of the big pool and big sun. The
pool and sun deck are blessed with a daily dose of 6 - 8 hours of sun,
making this 50 foot pool not only Peter Bay's largest, but also it's
sunniest. Bring the Ipod; Coco has outdoor speakers above the pool.
-
The
hot tub. The 6 - 8 person hot tub is also oversized and is hidden in a
sinfully private garden setting, a half level below the pool. When the
sun goes down, this is a very romantic hideaway.
-
The
landscaping. Coco De Mer is especially well landscaped with many
beautiful species of tropical plants, including the Coco De Mer palm.
The lush vegetation gives areas of Coco a botanical garden setting,
coupled with some lovely clothing optional privacy and seclusion.
-
The amphitheater. It overlooks the pool and the beautiful views and is
a unique architectural feature that makes Coco an ideal home for small
private weddings or special functions.
Coco's
5-bedrooms comfortably accommodate guests in near equal luxury and
privacy, while also providing elegant and relaxing areas where everyone
can socialize. Coco is what we call a magnet villa, it's so
accommodating and enjoyable that you have neither reason nor desire to
leave the house; it holds you in place like a magnet. But with its
beaches, reefs, hiking trails, and boating, St. John beckons, and the
delightful shopping, restaurants, people and atmosphere of Cruz Bay are
a very scenic 10-15 minute drive.
We continue to definitely
recommend Coco De Mer for couples, groups, business meetings, functions
and families with children over 6 years of age. No smoking inside the
house, please.
Other Amenities;
wireless DSL, 23 inch flat screens in all bedrooms, DVD player, CD
player, movies and music, books, games, safe, beach chairs and coolers,
