LOCATION. Sea Cove is located in the middle of
Peter Bay, less than a 5-minute walk to the white sands and turquoise waters of Peter Bay Beach. Peter Bay is one of the few parcels of pristine north shore land that was not deeded over to the National Park by Lawrence Rockefeller in the 1950s, and today it remains tranquil, peaceful, private and exceptionally scenic, surrounded
as it is on all sides by National Park forests, waters and reefs.
The Peter Bay homes (as of 2003 there were about a dozen) all have deeded access to the beach at Peter Bay which is located between the National Park beaches at Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay and is very similar to these world class, exceptionally beautiful beaches. The fine white sand and usually calm turquoise waters of this beautiful beach provide excellent swimming and good snorkeling. On a perfect beach day in January the National park beaches will host hundreds of people, but it’s rare to see even a handful of people on Peter Bay (it’s privately owned).
The wonderful views from Sea Cove look north and east and include the lush mountains of the north shore of St. John, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays, Whistling Cay, and Great Thatch and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. It’s a 5-10 minute, incredibly picturesque drive to the three restaurants at the acclaimed Caneel Bay Resort, and another 5-10 minute drive to the captivating restaurants, shops and groceries in the fun loving, delightful town of Cruz Bay.

Sea Cove

DESIGN. This majestic home consists of a large 2-level great house with three bedrooms and a 2-level guesthouse with two more bedrooms, which is sited across the circular entry courtyard. The upper level of the great house contains the kitchen, living and dining rooms, an office, a master bedroom, and a spacious deck that runs the entire length of the house. Interior stairs lead to the lower level with 2 bedrooms, a second living room / media room and a large pool and coral stone pool deck. Overall, this is a strikingly attractive and spacious design that incorporates coral stone floors and decks, arched entryways flanked by coral pillars, arched handcrafted cedar doors, handsome stone walls, tiled roofs and rich and unusual furnishings and accessories. The design, furnishings and accessories leave no doubt that this is one of St John’s finest luxury villas.

The upper level living room

LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN. Sea Cove has three different living areas, four if you include the theater. The upper living room adjoins the dining room and kitchen and has vaulted ceilings, coral floors, and very comfortable custom furniture. Seven sets of arched French doors lead from the living room to the coral stone upper deck. There’s no TV or DVD here, this room is for reading or for listening to the outstanding sound quality coming from the Bryson top of the line stereo/CD/VCR system. For movies or sports, head down to the lower living area which also has plush furniture, a wet bar and frig and a 60 inch Sony projection TV. In 2003, an adjoining garage on the upper level was totally remodeled into a lovely state of the art library/home theater with a Sony 60 inch plasma TV/DVD, giving guests a total of 3 living/entertainment rooms.

The kitchen is very well equipped with first class equipment and appliances, including; 2 refrigerator/freezers, twin ovens, a 5-burner gas stove, microwave, icemaker, bread maker, grill machine, steamer, blender, Caphalon cookware and complete dinnerware. The interior dining table is off the kitchen but there are dining tables on both decks. A cozy garden dining nook with a stainless steel barbeque and a table for 6 is just outside the kitchen.

The kitchen has a great view,

One of St. John's finest theaters

This Home Theater is in the running (along with the theater at Kismet) for best home theater and audio room on St. John. This 400 sq/ft room seats 8 and has custom built bamboo floors and handcrafted burled maple cabinets and walls. It’s quite a beautiful room, but when you turn on the sound system - it becomes magnificent. The two Rotel RB 1080 amplifiers plus a Rotel stereo amplifier and a Panamax Regenerator amplifier push fantastic sound out to $10,000 worth of custom built surround sound speakers. For the non technophile, this is near perfect sound reproduction that will blow your socks off. (It also has iPod connectivity.) For entertainment, the theater has a 50” flat screen TV and DVD plus a wine refrigerator and sink.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' VIEWS. Peter Bay has now become the home of St. John’s most impressive collection of grand and luxurious villas. The homes at Peter Bay, and especially Sea Cove and its neighbors Peter Bay Beach House, Coco De Mer, Cinnamon Breeze, Delfina, Amorosa and Mermaid Falls have actually redefined the concept of a luxury rental villa on St John. Even allowing for the fact that Peter Bay is now synonymous with luxury homes, Sea Cove still stands out as a superb, 5 star vacation villa. The exclusive and beautiful Peter Bay location, and the overall commitment to a grand design and excellent theater, living areas, sound systems and pool, makes Sea Cove an exceptional rental villa that definitely deserves to be labeled as one of St. John’s “Ultra Luxury Villas”.

Sea Cove’s emphasis on natural light and bright, cheerful colors distinguishes it from many tropical homes. There is an absence of dark tropical woodwork and tile, instead the accent is on off white or bright interior colors that frame the vivid blues and greens outside your windows. This gives Sea Cove a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere; this is a happy house that you will greatly enjoy spending time in.
The well maintained, flourishing landscaping gives Sea Cove complete visual privacy from the neighboring villa above you, and the lovely view of Peter Bay and beyond shows only a few roof lines. When you are in Sea Cove there is a wonderful feeling of privacy, serenity and seclusion, yet you are a short drive from the delightful restaurants, shopping and nightlife of Cruz Bay.

For music lovers, movie fans and TV viewers, this home has the finest collection of high-end visual and audio components on St. John. Acoustic engineers were flown in from the USA to design the Bryston audio system and the clarity and accuracy of sound reproduction is outstanding. The 60-inch plasma TV in the home theater and the 60-inch projection TV in the lower level living area, plus the Sony TVs in every bedroom, are all on a mega channel satellite network. The top of the line stereo and visual equipment, plus the satellite network, plus a movie and music collection, all combine to provide the island’s best home for listening and viewing entertainment.
Still, the best entertainment is the island that surrounds you. Walk to great swimming and snorkeling at the beach below you, or drive less than 5 minutes to world famous beaches at Trunk or Cinnamon Bays, or drive 5 minutes to Caneel Bay Resort. This is the type of villa that gives you little reason to leave the house, but St. John, with it’s national park hiking trails, protected reefs and beaches and delightful shops and restaurants, gives you plenty of reasons to leave your villa.
The floor plan and design make this a very versatile home for families, business meetings, or groups of friends or couples. If you lock off the guesthouse, the great house makes a magnificent, luxurious and ever so romantic villa for a deluxe honeymoon, anniversary or special occasion.
