Coco de Mer – Peter Bay

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.

Living And Dining: The air-conditioned 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/DVD and a music and movie collection. 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.

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, and washer/dryer are also included.

Bedroom Details: 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 tiled bath and shower.

Coco De Mer is located in the top row of homes in the exclusive enclave of Peter Bay, along St John’s north shore. 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 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 15 minute, incredibly picturesque drive to the excellent restaurants, shops and groceries in the charming town of Cruz Bay.
