DESCRIPTION: Anole is a four-bedroom, 4.5-bath home with a private pool. This two-level design includes the great room and two bedrooms with ensuite baths, plus a half bath on the upper level and two additional bedrooms with ensuite baths and a pool on the lower level.

You park on the upper level, and when you enter the great room, you will be immediately drawn to the spectacular views looking out over the north shore and Cinnamon Bay. The handsome great room, complete with beautiful island stonework, tiled floors, and cathedral ceiling, was newly renovated and refurnished in 2018. The kitchen and interior dining are on the right side of the great room, while the living area occupies the left half of this attractive room.

The upper-level bedrooms, each with a delightful screened-in porch, spectacular views, and a sitting area, are located on opposite sides of the great room. A tiled sundeck runs the length of the great room, and exterior stairs off the sundeck lead to the pool and the lower bedrooms. The lower bedrooms are also good sized, with pleasant screened-in porches and lots of privacy. A covered deck is located between the lower bedrooms.

The pool is located in a very private, lushly landscaped site on the west (left) side of the house and can be accessed by stairs from the house or by the stairs of the driveway. If you are looking for a home with spectacular views, Anole is the home for you. It is perfect for couples, families, and anyone looking for a private St. John Island retreat.

LOCATION: Anole is located along St. John's fabled north shore, about 600 feet above the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Cinnamon Bay. It is totally surrounded by St. John's stunning National Park, and as with Peter Bay, the villas built in this beautiful neighborhood are distinctive, each offering its own personal charm.

Although Anole has a neighbor, the privacy of this home is superb, and this setting is the very definition of a peaceful, quiet, and away-from-it-all island locale. The view is absolutely gorgeous and includes Tobago and Little Tobago Islands, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and other islands floating on turquoise and blue seas. Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay lie below you and offer excellent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, sunning, and stress-free relaxation.

It is a 15-minute drive from Cruz Bay, and the last half mile is a bumpy dirt road intended to discourage tourists from exploring this quiet neighborhood. A four-wheel-drive rental vehicle is necessary, as local taxi service is not available in this neighborhood.

LIVING & DINING: The great room, with its cathedral ceiling, handsome stonework, and tiled floor, is located in the middle of the villa, with a bedroom on each side. The 30 x 8-foot wall of screened glass pocket doors offers marvelous views from everywhere in the great room. The spacious living area occupies much of the great room and is furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan furniture, cable TV, a stereo, and wireless internet.

The interior dining table seats 6-8 and is located in a romantic nook in the front corner of the great room. The dining table on the upper deck also seats 6-8. There is also a table and chairs on the pool deck.

KITCHEN: The kitchen is in the rear of the great room and shares a gorgeous view. It is fully equipped, including a refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave oven, and drip coffee maker. In the back of the kitchen, there is a pantry and a washer/dryer, and a gas grill is on the upper deck.

BEDROOMS: All four bedrooms are oversized (305 sq/ft), and all are located to ensure excellent privacy from each other. The upper-level east (right) and west (left) bedrooms each have a king bed, screened-in porch, and ensuite bath with new double sink vanities. The two lower-level bedrooms are accessed by exterior stairs from the upper or pool deck. The lower level east (right) and west (left) bedrooms each have 2 twin beds, which can be converted into a king. Each bedroom has a lovely 150 sq ft fully screened porch with wicker furniture and an ensuite bath with a tiled shower.

"Our family of 4 adults stayed there for a week in Dec. 2024. We have stayed on St. John many times in the last 20 years, so we have a really good feel for what we like in a villa. The view from Anole is fantastic! The villa suited our needs and had the amenities required for a great week. We did have a couple of maintenance items that cropped during the week that the staff at Caribbean Villas were happy to respond to and did so quickly. The fact that the villa doesn't have air conditioning was not an issue in any way. There are ceiling and floor fans available that provided all the cooling that we needed. The road leading to the villa is a bit of a challenge (as advertised) but after a few passes you begin to learn where all the dips are. The road is nearly paved all the way, with just a couple of short gravel areas close to Centerline Road. The only negatives that I would point out is that with the villa facing north and the pool on the west side of the villa, by the hillside, there really was no time of the day that the pool was in the sun during our December stay. As a result, the water temperature in the pool was quite cool, to the point that we didn't use the pool all week. A shame because the pool and pool area are quite lovely. Also, during our stay, the vegetation around the villa and the pool was very lush to the point of nearly being overgrown. We understand that the fall was quite rainy and the entire island was as green as we had ever seen. So, it may be that some serious pruning could be done to open up the views even more to Cinnamon Bay and beyond. All in all, we had a great stay at Anole and would be happy to return.

"We have visited St. John over a half dozen times and have stayed in villas all over the island. This was by far the best location and view of them all. The view at this villa is absolutely spectacular. In addition, the property manager was very helpful and efficient. The property was very clean and the selfcheckin and checkout procedures were easy and convenient. The beds and furniture were very comfortable and the internet was fast and reliable.

"Spacious, comfortable home, but starting to show its age a bit. Just some minor repairs and it would be good as new. Extremely hilly access to get there and a very tight turn into the driveway if you have a larger vehicle (i.e. Dodge Durango or other larger SUV). If we had a vehicle, such as the Jeeps you see everywhere on the island, I feel this would not have been an issue. Be aware that access to the two bedrooms downstairs is by outside staircase only no interior access. We had all adults, but people with children may not find this optimal. Electric shutters to close off the bedroom archways to the screened in patios were missing in several bedrooms. Overall, a lovely home with plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and enjoy the unbeatable views of the north shore. Great sized pool with built in loungers. Updated kitchen, and 3 of the 4 baths were updated. Super comfortable mattress in the master bedroom (just off the kitchen).

"What a wonderful stay we had! Weve been to St. John several times and could not truly anticipate how gorgeous the views were from this spot. With a young traveler with us it was so convenient to come home to the pool for a break and still enjoy the beauty around us. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the layout of the house. We lost power on the island a couple of times during the week, the second time for an extended period. We would just ask the hosts to consider purchasing a generator, as others around us had, for those unexpected times. If traveling to St. John with a larger group again, we would certainly stay again!

"The ocean breezes were wonderful and birds singing in the trees were beautiful. We did not realize this ahead of time, but most houses on St. John, including Anole, are not air conditioned. We were there in July, so we were probably warmer than the other months. It took some adjusting! There are a lot of fans that help to cool the air.

"If anything, the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this place the house, the location, the spectacular view. It took a little while to adjust to the lack of air conditioning, but it is built in a way to maximize fresh air flow. The pool is also a nice way to cool down. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as well as to congregate. We ate inside and outside. It is somewhat tricky to find, but that is also part of its charm.

"Great location with a spectacular view of Cinnamon Bay. Four bedrooms with baths were perfect for four couples. Each bedroom had a view and a screened porch. The grand room had a vaulted ceiling and was the perfect setting for family meals around a large glass table. We enjoyed hiking on nearby trails and snorkeling along thje reefs and beaches.

"I usually stay in Coral Bay so this was a real treat. The viewlocation cannot be beat. The architecture was charming and the landscaping made it feel like we lived in a palm tree paradise. Be sure to rent a Jeep as the drive up the mountain is steep. But very worth it.

"The view from Anole is the highlight of this property! Stunning and spectacular! Great way to view Gods amazing handiwork! House is beautiful. Many have said it already, but the drive to Anole is tricky to say the least. We had a 2door Jeep Wrangler and 4door Bronco. The Wrangler was the best for the rough roads and hairpin turns. Definitely DO NOT try to bring a larger sized SUV.
