Waterfront on Great Cruz Bay, this magnificent estate holds court within an oasis of stately palm trees, boasting probably what is the largest private pool on St. John.
The main villa takes center stage, embraced by the aquamarine pool and the pool cabana, and bordered by a faux white-sand beach set with chaise lounges and a fire pit brazier. The expansive fully air-conditioned two-stories feature seven bedroom/bath suites and a beautifully-proportioned great room. Two of the bedroom suites have a connecting door between them, perfect for parents who wish to be near their children. Adjoining the great room, on the other side of the tiled entry foyer, is the large gourmet kitchen; behind that is a powder room looking into a walled garden.
Outside the main villa is the shaded poolside terrace, furnished with plush upholstered seating and a large round table under a roofed pergola for alfresco meals. The pass-through from the kitchen is incorporated into an adjoining counter lined with bar stools. This expansive outdoor living area, also has two gas grills, one of them built into a charming garden patio, a ping-pong table and a deck lined with cushioned chaise lounges.
The pool is absolutely spectacular! It has a four-inch deep shallow shelf, perfect for sun loungers and for small children, a waterfall, and is bordered on the ocean side with a beach, a strip of white sand set with more chaise lounges and a stone fire pit. The pool also features a swim-up bar with underwater bar stools at the pool cabana, a wonderful poolside entertainment pavilion with large-screen cable TV and DVD player, plus a wet bar with icemaker, beverage cooler and dishwasher. The pool cabana also has a handy powder room and outside shower, and an electronic shutter that rolls down at a touch of a button to secure it when not being used. For experienced divers, there is access from the coral-and-sand waterfront into Great Cruz Bay for snorkeling.
La Mer's Cottage, with two additional air conditioned bedrooms, is off to the side of the Main Villa. The Cottage's garage contains beach chairs, coolers, and a washer and dryer for your convenience.
Every handsome custom detail - mahogany cabinetry, lovely tile design throughout, cypress ceilings, designer island decor, artisan lighting, botanical art prints, and a bounty of excellent features and amenities for guests' enjoyment - make luxurious yet beach-casual La Mer a unique and matchless Caribbean villa experience for families and friends.
