St. Thomas Villa Rental
Property # 8960


Property Description
Live out your Caribbean fantasies in the privacy and comfort of Villa Amour on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Perched above a secluded beach on the island's northside, Villa Amour offers spectacular down island views that can be enjoyed from the house or the freshwater pool or jacuzzi. Hike or drive through lush vegetation to one of St. Thomas's most exclusive beaches where you can explore plantation era ruins, stroll through the coconut grove, snorkel virgin reefs or kayak to uninhabited Inner Brass Island.

But you may never want to leave this custom 2000 built tropical home, filled with enough whimsical and exotic touches to make any stay a magical experience. Villa Amour was also designed to provide the ultimate in comfortable luxury -- from the gourmet kitchen complete with herb garden to the expansive indoor/outdoor living spaces. This home offers the supreme relaxation experience. Whether you are enjoying the views from the four 'en suite' bedrooms or lounging pool side, Villa Amour is the place to enjoy a superior Caribbean experience just 15 minutes from the airport.

Life at the Villa centers around the large 15X40 pool surrounded by native stonework and sparkling mosaic accents. Designed with an infinity edge and illuminated by fiber optic lights in shifting neon colors -- Villa Amour's waterscape is beautifully unique.

The pool deck features lounge chairs, a gas grill and a 'Platinum Series' Jacuzzi brand whirlpool spa. Turn your body to jello while listening to the built in surround sound stereo and adjust the jets with the floating remote control -- there's no better place to watch sunsets and at night become one with the evening sky, falling stars are almost a guarantee... the ultimate in relaxation.....incredible, it doesn't get any better than this!

The views from Villa Amour are better than you can imagine. The endless turquoise blue sea is dotted with numerous islands and small cays and you can often spot humpback whales enjoying their own winter vacations. Inner and Outer Brass Islands , less than a mile offshore, are waiting to be explored. St. John, Tortola and Jost Van Dyke and several other U.S and British Virgin islands provide a beautiful back drop both days and evenings.

The Villa grounds are lushly landscaped with sweet smelling roses, swaying palms and a variety of tropical flora. Located a half mile down a natural road, Villa Amour sits on nearly 100 undeveloped acres. Wild green parrots, iguanas, deer and an occasional cow can often be seen. No noise neighbors here.

The four bedrooms, all with private custom tiled baths, are furnished with light woods and bright fabrics. Three king size beds and two twins (convertible to king) sleep eight comfortably. Two even have separate private lania's.

The Villa is completely tiled in fine Italian terra cotta with specially commissioned mosaic accents and echted glass windows. Decorated with art from around the world -- there's a 12 foot tall Indonesian Garuda carving in the great room -- and an extensive glass collection. A floating aquarium of fish shimmers below the 20ft skylight and above the grand staircase. The Cypress ceilinged great room opens onto the outdoor living space and pool deck. 30 foot wide retractable glass doors give Villa Amour an outdoor living quality that's just stunning.

Activities & Attractions
Shopping and night life are just 15 minutes away in downtown Charlotte Amalie. And the Red Hook Dock - gateway to St. John and the British Virgin Islands - is only about a 20 minute ride.

Neltjeberg Beach is a half mile long strip of pristine white sand, which you will usually share only with a few pelicans diving for fish in the colorful reef. The snorkeling is excellent year around and many varieties of marine life can be seen just offshore.

Some of the many things to do while visiting St. Thomas - let the property managers assist you in planning any activities and excursion you would like:
