LOCATION- La Bella Vita was built in 2005 on a prime lot within the Virgin Grand Estates. It is the last house on a dead end private road (the same road that takes you to Rapture and C'est Bleu.) Because you're at the end of a little used drive, there is very little traffic and good privacy. La Bella Vita sits on the lot below Sunset Vista and like Sunset Vista, it has really spectacular views that stretch more than 180 degrees. You're about 500 feet above the Westin Resort and the Caribbean Sea, and your view extends from St Croix in the southeast, past the St. James islands and St. Thomas in the west, and on to the Hans Lollicks, Thatch and Grass Cays in the northwest. The sunset views are some of St. John's best, and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas provide beautiful evening views that make nights on the decks a memorable experience. During the day, the sun marches across the Caribbean Sea and creates an ever-changing, all day panorama of color. This is definitely a sun lover's villa, with sun on the pool and sundeck from 9am to sunset, although the pool, covered decks, trade winds and a/c will keep you comfortably cool. About a quarter-mile walk below you are the restaurants, beach and fitness room of the Westin Resort, while the renowned restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay are a 10-15 minute drive, entirely on paved roads.

DESIGN- La Bella Vita is a 2-level home with the great room and two bedroom/baths on the upper level, and the pool, sundeck, bar, a half bath and 2 more bedroom/baths on the lower level. You park on the upper level and a mahogany door opens to the comfortable, 800 sq/ft great room. The kitchen and the interior dining area are on the left with the living areas on the right, all looking out at the gorgeous views through 8 foot tall, screened sliding glass doors. A covered deck runs the full length (64ft) of the upper level and both upper level bedrooms are accessed from this deck. The pool, sundeck, wet bar, half bath and two more bedroom/baths are on the lower level and are accessed by twin exterior stairways.

Like all the homes in the Virgin Grand Estates, this is a custom design. Its classic design features include beamed cathedral ceilings, tiled roofs, interior tiled floors and exterior tiled decks, 12 foot Doric columns supporting covered decks and the extensive use of cherry and granite in the kitchen and baths.

LIVING ROOM - The living area is a great place for relaxing and enjoying a movie on the 36 inch cable TV with DVD, VHS and surround sound. The TV plays through a 4 speaker ceiling mounted home theater system that puts out good quality sounds. An AM/FM receiver, 5-disc CD and an I Pod dock also play through the surround sound system. La Bella Vita also has WiFi access.

The kitchen is very attractive with cherry cabinets accented by polished granite countertops, a tiled floor and a beamed cathedral ceiling. It's also well equipped, with a 4-burner electric stove oven, refrigerator/freezer with water filtration and outside ice and water, microwave, dishwasher, and blender, coffeemaker, and plenty of cookware and dinnerware. A granite island with a bar that seats 6 separates the kitchen from the dining area. There is a gas barbeque grill, as well as a laundry room with washer and dryer.
