The interior of Rosebay is very comfortable for one couple or a small family. It is furnished in a lovely tropical manner with honey rattan furniture complemented by terra cotta tiled floors, cathedral ceilings with ceiling fans, soft pastel colors and screened sliding glass doors. A screened in porch provides an excellent area to dine, relax in the hammock or sip drinks while watching the fabled Caribbean sunset. An even better spot to admire the sunset and enjoy a peaceful, romantic moment is in your private hot tub, surrounded by the sights, sounds and perfumed smells of the gardens.



LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN. The cozy living room is furnished with a honey rattan couch and 2 upholstered chairs complemented by lamps, end tables, a cocktail table, rugs and wall hanging. Electronic entertainment includes a cable color TV and VCR plus a stereo with a cassette player and CD. Sliding glass doors lead from the living room to the decks, the screened in porch or the jacuzzi.

On the opposite side of the kitchen the interior dining room consists of a glass topped wicker table seating 4. For relaxed outdoor dining with a marvelous view, the screened in porch contains a table that seats 4.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS. There a very few 1-2 bedroom renatl homes on St. John, and Rosebay (and its neighbor Periwinkle) definitely rate as two of St. John's finest. We especially like the quiet garden setting and the colorful hibiscus, periwinkle, oleander, bougainvillea, palms and other tropical greenery that surround Rosebay. The hillside location is peaceful and beautiful, yet it's a 5 minute walk to a beach with Caribbean swimming, snorkeling and boating. The beachside restaurant and bar is also a great place for a casual lunch. Rosebay is highly recommended for honeymooners, couples or small families, and with its hot tub, A/C, romantic charm and very affordable price, we rate this home as one of St. John's best rental values. Like its neighbors, Hawksbill, Jasmine and Periwinkle, Rosebay also offers some of the best discounts (when available) in our
Last Minute Travel Bargains.
