Overview ↑↓

DESCRIPTION: On a Clear Day... is designed as an eco-friendly villa built for fun, families, flexibility, nature, health, and, finally and most importantly, life renewal. Your stay will rest the soul, invigorate the body, and restore the spirit.

As you enter the villa through massive double-doors, you will be engulfed by a picturesque all-encompassing view of Francis Bay. Walking further through 14 foot opening sliders will transport you to an expansive pool patio that, again, provides tremendous views of the Bay from every corner and lounge chair.

The villa's rooms are all located within one structure for family and friendly living, but, through quality construction and design, privacy and quiet are maintained. For the athletically inclined, an exercise room is offered, and the saltwater, low chemical pool incorporates in its design a 54 foot long lap lane. After 8 wide steps up to a ramp leading to the front door and 5 short steps down from the entryway, the entire first floor remains flat, especially helpful for physically challenged guests. This includes the Great Room, kitchen, dining areas, porch, one bedroom, an exercise room, and the outdoor deck and pool. For sun worshippers, there is plenty of room poolside for fantastic tanning. But for those desiring various degrees of sun protection, the villa's deck also offers a completely covered but still open area along with a portion topped by trellis. And for nighttime outdoor lounging and eating free of insects, a screened-in porch with sliders abuts the dining room.

For those interested in learning more about Green Energy Conservation, On a Clear Day,,, is one of only two rental villas on the island to earn Island Green Living Association's 5 Star Tropical Green Building Certification. The house utilizes low solar gain, low-E glass throughout together with LED lighting, Energy Star Appliances and TVs, low flow Moen WaterSense plumbing fixtures, dual flush toilets, individually controlled Mitsubishi high SEER-rated ductless air-conditioning units, solar heated domestic hot water, and a solar reflective Kynar painted metal roof sitting over a thermal reflective blanket and fiberboard insulation. The entire villa is powered by ground-mounted photovoltaic arrays situated on land just below the structure. Temporary loss of electricity to the villa due to St. John utility power outage is remedied by a large generator on premises. Continuing in the Green vein, On a Clear Day,,, utilizes organic-based fertilizer for its landscaping and the mildest forms of insecticide for pest control.

LOCATION: "On a Clear Day ,,," lies nestled deep within the confines of the Virgin Island National Park on the North Shore of St. John. This new villa (construction completed 2012) is perched 170 feet above sea level and offers the best of all worlds spanning the peacefulness and privacy of the Park's surroundings to a "to die for" view of Francis Bay to easy beach access. Only a 5-10 minute walk or a 1-2 minute drive away, the white sand and crystal clear water of Francis Bay with its swimming, snorkeling, and sun constantly beckon. Guests are also just a quick stroll to one of the best bird sanctuaries on the Island at the Francis Bay Salt Pond. With the villa's westward orientation, sunsets are spectacular, and nighttime heralds the twinkling lights of St. Thomas and the yachts moored below in the Bay, all, seemingly, a silent world away.

The 18-20 minute drive from Cruz Bay to the villa along St. John's famous North Shore takes in some of the most beautiful beaches in the world including Caneel, Trunk, Cinnamon, and Maho Bays. Fabulous views abound far above the sea from scenic breakouts along the way. Coral Bay is a 12 minute car ride.

Hiking trails around the villa and throughout the island abound, and the ruins of historic Annaberg Sugar Plantation are in walking distance. Donkeys, deer, and iguanas will never be far away.

Reef Protection -- the USVI now mandates use of reef-sparing sunscreens. This means avoiding products with the three "Oâ€™s" -- oxybenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene. Not only do these chemicals, and others, stress and damage ocean ecosystems including coral, they may affect human health. Thinksport SPF50+ is a zinc oxide-based, plant/mineral derived, biodegradable, natural product that fulfills the criteria for "reef-safe." But there are numerous other reef-safe sunscreens on the market which you can bring to St. John.

LIVING & DINING: The 20 foot wide, two-story Great Room is furnished in light, Caribbean modern rattan/bamboo furniture and bestows guests panoramic views of the pool, Francis Bay, and St. Thomas from every spot. A 60 inch flat screen LED TV with Dish Satellite programming, Roku for personal streaming, and a Blu-ray disc player is available for family viewing. WiFi is available throughout the house with high speed Internet. Connected to the Great Room via a large archway is the dining area. The table comfortably sits 8 with an option for 10. If you wish to eat outside, simply pass through sliders into the adjoining screened-in, optionally-opened porch with a table for 8.

KITCHEN: A fully-equipped kitchen includes an ultra quiet dishwasher, convection oven/stove with ventilation hood, microwave, refrigeration/freezer/icemaker, and a built-in wine cooler, all in stainless steel. A second icemaker (stand-alone) and refrigerator/freezer are available for extra capacity. Contiguous with the kitchen on one side is counter seating for four and on the other side a guest laundry with washer and dryer. Cabinet space, hand built from environment-friendly bamboo, is abundant. Countertops are Brazilian granite. A Weber gas grill for outside cooking is located on the pool patio.

BEDROOMS: Three large bedrooms (308 sq ft each) and a master bedroom (480 sq ft) comprise the sleeping space. Each room has a lockable safe and is air-conditioned by a quiet individually controlled cooling unit, has a 40 inch LED TV with Dish Satellite receiver, Roku, and a Blu-ray disc player, and possesses its own private bathroom with 2 sinks and tumbled marble shower. All bedrooms open onto private decks with breathtaking views. Three of the bedrooms (including the master) have king size beds while the fourth has two twins. The twins, however, can easily be joined to create king size sleeping if needed. Also available upon request are two optional inflatable beds, which can be used for both kids and/or adults. Two of the second floor bedrooms emanate from a single hallway. This entire space can be conveniently sectioned off using an existing sliding pocket door to create a secure sleeping area for parents with young children.

EXERCISE ROOM: The villa provides a fully air-conditioned exercise room consisting of a Sole elliptical machine, Bowflex Home Gym, and Concept II rowing ergometer. A 32 inch LCD TV with Dish Satellite programming, Roku, and a Blu-ray disc player is furnished for entertainment while you exercise, and the room's slider leads to an outdoor deck for cool down and relaxation post work-out.
