LOCATION. Kismet is located on Maria Bluff, which is the south-facing peninsula between Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor (see Map). Maria Bluff has always been a desirable neighborhood of distinctive villas like Las Brisas Caribe, and now Kismet brings a new elegance and refinement to this upscale neighborhood. Kismet sits on the highest and most private point of land on Maria Bluff. This location provides fabulous 360 degree sunrise/sunset views, plus vistas that include Rams Head to the east, St Croix to the south, St Thomas, Hans Lollick and Lovango to the west, and the hills of St. John to the north. Kismet enjoys excellent peacefulness and tranquility because it occupies an unusually large lot. The land is actually large enough to have private walking paths that wind through beautiful tropical gardens.

The restaurants, tennis courts and fitness room and spa at the Westin Resort are a 3 minute drive, and the charming boutiques, restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay are less than a 10 minute drive.

DESIGN. The gated entrance to Kismet leads to the caretaker's house where you park and then ascend stairs to the great house. Kismet consists of three centrally air conditioned buildings (pavilions) that are connected by covered walkways. The east pavilion (the great house) contains the living room, dining room, kitchen and theater, all at ground level. The master bedroom, bath and sitting room are in the south pavilion, also at ground level, and the four guest bedrooms plus the pool room are in the 2-story west pavilion. Located beside the master bedroom is a flight of stairs that leads up to the sunrise/sunset gazebo with its spectacular 360 degree views. All three pavilions face into a spacious tiled courtyard with a 37 foot pool, hot tub, outdoor dining and barbeque area and lovely views. Kismet is surrounded by expansive and beautiful lawns and gardens and a walking path with romantic seating areas weaves through this garden paradise.

LIVING ROOM. Like the living/dining areas of Delfina, Kismet's centrally air-conditioned rooms are the very definition of elegance and loveliness. The 460 sq/ft living room has wonderful views to the south and west, a dry bar, satellite TV/DVD, Sirius satellite radio, plus a 5-disc CD with a good music collection. The sound system plays through speakers in the living room, dining room and at the pool and the pool patio. A desk in the living room has a fax and a PC, and a DSL line, or bring your laptop and get online almost anywhere with Kismet's Wifi.

The formal (interior) dining room seats 8-10 in style, and the table on the pool patio also seats 8-10. Both dining areas are wired for music and the interior dining room also has a 20 inch flat screen TV. A gas grill is on the deck.

The gourmet kitchen has custom mahogany cabinets, granite countertops, top of the line appliances and a pantry. It also includes:

• a chefs 6-burner gas stove with full hood and a s/s double oven,
• oversized refrigerator and icemaker, dishwasher, and microwave,
• a warming drawer, soft ice cream machine, coffeemaker, double toaster, blender, etc.
• a CD/AM/FM player and 13 inch satellite TV to keep the chef(s) entertained,
• Two laundries are off the kitchen

The master bedroom is actually a 3-room suite consisting of the 220 sq/ft master bedroom with a king bed, a 150 sq/ft reading room, and an elegant bath with a steam shower and a bathtub.

All the bedrooms include wonderful views, a/c, satellite TV, a telephone and room to room intercom, a safe, Wifi access plus plug in DSL, two Kismet bathrobes and two pair of Kismet slippers and a hair dryer. The daily maid service includes making beds, washing towels and cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. Sheets are changed once at midweek.

The pool room is on the lower bedroom level and also opens onto the water fountain patio. This a/c room contains a regulation pool table, wet bar, dart board, two single beds, a full bath and a safe for valuables. This is the only room in Kismet where smoking is allowed.

THEATER. This is one of St John's best theaters (Sea Cove also has a superb theater). The theater is off the living room and includes custom mahogany ceiling and wall panels, separate a/c, six electric reclining 1st class seats, a 50 inch satellite Pioneer Elite flat screen TV, six surround sound speakers by Klipsch, a laser disc player, plus DVD and VHS, plus an excellent selection of laser discs, DVDs and tapes.

The sunset gazebo above the master bedroom is accessed by exterior stairs and offers stunning 360 degree views of St. John and the islands that surround it. The overstuffed cushions provide very comfortable seating and the open design insures Caribbean breezes. Like the cozy seating along the walking paths in Kismet's gardens, this is also a lovely retreat.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' VIEW. After many years of construction, Kismet was completed in 2006. There is no question that by any standards this is a villa of exceptional beauty, comfort, craftsmanship and décor. Kismet is so exceptional that it raises the question - is this now St. John's finest rental villa? Could be, we'll let you decide.
Some of the features that give Kismet St. John's highest 5-star rating include:

• The location. This multi acre lot provides unusual privacy, peacefulness, and serenity, yet you're less than 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. The sunrise, sunset, day and evening views are lovely and the private paths that weave through the expansive estate gardens are a unique and delightful feature.
• Concierge personnel. Kismet and the Peter Bay Beach House are the only villas that we offer that include full time manager/concierge personnel (see notes below).
• The theater is a marvelous media room that combines comfort (power reclining seats), great audio visual effects (50 inch screen plus surround sound) and outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail.
• The ceilings and floors of Kismet are in keeping with the entire estate, absolutely stunning and unique. As you walk from room to room you'll notice that the ceilings are of different designs, but all built with great care and superb craftsmanship. (For example, look at the ceiling in the theater). The same is true of the gorgeous floors where the tile and the floor patterns are all Moroccan. It took three years to tile Kismet and the result is beautiful artwork, almost too lovely to walk on. (For example, look at the floor in the gazebo.)

In sum, Kismet shows such impeccable attention to detail and quality that the entire villa could be considered a work of art. For our clients who demand the very best in elegance, comfort and luxury in a Caribbean villa, we recommend Kismet. If Kismet is unavailable for the dates you desire, consider Delfina or one of our other Ultra Luxury Villas.
