Because the Beach House sits 12 steps from the Caribbean, you awake each morning to the music of gently breaking surf and Caribbean songbirds. The swimming and snorkeling are excellent and the trade winds blow softly here. The marvelous views include Cinnamon Bay and the north shore of St. John, as well as Jost Van Dyke, Great Thatch and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. It's a 10-15 minute incredibly scenic drive into Cruz Bay on paved roads.
The Beach House consists of a 2-level great house and a 2-level guest house with an antique brick courtyard and pool area connecting the two buildings. The lower level of the great house contains the kitchen, living and dining rooms, while the large master bedroom/bath, massage room, office and dressing room are on the upper level, accessed by hardwood interior stairs. On the ground level, a spacious covered veranda with loads of comfy furniture runs the entire 50-foot length of the beach side of the house. Another covered porch with deck furniture runs along the poolside of the great house. There is a palm enclosed brick garden patio with barbeque grill on the south side of the house. The guesthouse contains a beautifully appointed bedroom and large bath on each level. The upper level is accessed by interior hardwood stairs. In building the Beach House, great care was taken to preserve the original trees and the mature tropical vegetation. As a result, the villas' lovely architectural lines are beautifully accented by abundant tropical landscaping.

Living room essentials include; satellite TV with VCR, stereo with CD player, a large movie collection and books and games and an inter-villa intercom.
The formal dining room contains a baby grand piano and a mahogany table that seats 6. There is also a 6-person dining table on the beachside veranda and the garden courtyard has a barbeque grill and a wrought iron table that also seats 6.
Caribbean Villas' View.The development along the beach at Peter Bay has been well controlled and the beach retains the low key character that is the essence of the north shore of St. John. The visionary developer who kept the hotels and condos out of Peter Bay also set aside the best beachfront land for the construction of a beautiful home, which he designed and built and then named, the Peter Bay Beach House.
The house itself, its furnishings, fixtures, décor and design would qualify as one of St. John's finest homes regardless of where it was located. But when you place this fabulous villa on the choicest lot in the center of beautiful Peter Bay Beach, this combination of superb house and extraordinary location makes the Beach House an exceptional property that definitely deserves to be one of St. John's Ultra Luxury Villas.
Apart from its unique beachfront location (and its value), there is another quality that distinguishes the Beach House from other St. John villas, even other Ultimate Villas. The owner of this villa lives here many months each year. This villa feels like a real home (look at the kitchen) because this is the owner's favorite place to come home to. The owner's fine taste and love for this villa shows throughout with many of the owner's favorite antiques, curios, artworks and collectibles displayed throughout the house. The total effect is a warm, homey and inviting atmosphere that says, "welcome to my beautiful home".
