Location. Ilios is one of the few favored homes that occupy the south - southwest facing shore of Hart Bay. Hart Bay is a picturesque, semi secluded cove on the south shore of St. John, about a 5 - 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay. Ilios is the next to the last villa on a dead end road, so there is almost no traffic in this peaceful corner of paradise. The views looking south are of the multi colored waters of Hart Bay and the Caribbean. The sun deck and pool receive all day sun. |

DESIGN. Ilios was designed as a modern interpretation of an old Greek villa, combining the grace, beauty and colors of classic Mediterranean architecture with the comforts and conveniences of a present-day tropical home. In keeping with this theme, the centerpiece of this lovely villa is an open courtyard surrounded on 3 sides by pavilions (buildings), with a delightful sundeck and pool on the southern side of the quadrangle. Most of the living areas are on the ground level, and only one bedroom, accessed by exterior stairs, is on the upper level. |

LIVING. The main house contains the handsome great room that includes the living/dining and kitchen areas. With its rustic stone arches and light filled soaring ceilings, white walls, Mediterranean blue trim and restful views, the great room is the very definition of serenity. If you wish to supplement nature's music, a cable color TV/VCR/DVD, and a stereo/cassette/CD and high speed internet access are provided. |
You may dine outside under the hibiscus arbor at a teak table for 6, or dine in the Great Room at an antique
table for 6. It is a difficult choice. A gas barbecue grill, telephone, and washer/dryer are included.
Interior Dining
The kitchen is completely equipped and opens wide to the courtyard and the living area.
Included are a gas 4 burner stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave, blender, coffee maker, etc.
The master bedroom, looking at the Caribbean
BEDROOM. The master bedroom (king) overlooks the hibiscus garden and the pool. This charming private retreat includes a private bath with a garden shower and a private deck. A young child's alcove with a small bunk bed is conveniently annexed to the master bedroom, making this a joy for parents with a young child. The spacious guest bedroom (2 twins) also has a private bath, garden shower and views of the courtyard garden and the Caribbean. The 2nd floor guest bedroom (queen) also has an attached private bath. A tiled deck has been added to this bedroom, which is a delightful place for morning coffee while watching the sun rise, or a glass of wine while watching cruise ships en route to other Caribbean destinations. |

CARIBBEAN VILLA'S VIEW. Ilios is wonderfully pleasing to the eye and the spirit, for this exceptionally charming villa is both beautiful to behold and easy to relax in and enjoy. In keeping with the architecture, the furnishings of this well equipped villa are both attractive and functional and the multi pavilion design insures excellent privacy for up to 6 persons. Ilios is the next to last villa on a dead end road, so there is almost no traffic and road noise.
In 2006 new screened doors were added to the great room, making this area more open to the gentle trade winds, but not open to the things that go buzz in the night. With its moonlit bay, private tranquility, romantic ambiance and convenient location, Hart Bay has always been very popular with our guests, and Ilios fits in perfectly with the fashionable villas that line its shores. Ilios is designed to capture all of nature's wonderful sights and sounds, including a sunset through the hills and abundant sunshine and tropical breezes that bathe this enchanting villa. One look at the photos and the floor plan tells you that this sinfully romantic villa is ideal for honeymooners, couples and lovers, but with an annex for a small child off the master bedroom, and a nearby beach, it's also a perfect home for families. With its high -speed (DSL) internet connection, Ilios is also a great home for the business traveler or those who want to stay in touch with the other world.
