Sea Stone - St. John, USVI

At Sea Stone, every room leads outdoors: to covered porches along the length of the seafront and expansive Caribbean Sea views. Inside this beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath property with swimming pool, all rooms are air conditioned. Decorated in hues borrowed from nature, Sea Stone flows seamlessly inside and out.

St. John architect Michael Milne conceived Sea Stone as the perfect opposite to its owners' Manhattan home. The result is a very special vacation property perfect for one or two couples, conveniently located in Great Cruz Bay Estates.

Cruz Bay is the charming/colorful town where the ferry arrives. It has lots of wonderful restaurants, shops, art galleries, dive shops, etc. Short 5-minute drives west of Cruz Bay are the well-established neighborhoods of Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole, matching relaxed surroundings with convenient locations. The beaches along this stretch of the south shore range from coral to sand. The closest sandy beach is in Great Cruz Bay, home of the Westin Hotel and Resort.

At Sea Stone Villa, the walls of local stonework frame Blaurock glass doors and inward tilting windows which open to take best advantage of the tradewinds.

Just inside the gated main entrance, a sheltered gallery with built-in conversation area for windy days welcomes guests to Sea Stone.

Every day is a memorable one at Sea Stone, where fine architecture and a spectacular vista haved been fused together with your total comfort in mind!

Italian travertine floors, tumbled marble and honed granite countertops, and plantation-grown teak furniture bring the emphasis on nature indoors. An open kitchen bar, inside and outside dining offer plenty of eating options.

The kitchen is fully equipped with custom tropical wood cabinetry, dishwasher, gas range, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, and blender. A half-bath and washer-dryer are located off the kitchen.

High exposed-beam ceilings with fans will keep the house cool and open, but air conditioning is also provided throughout the house. Watch television and videos, listen to music, or read from the owners' library of fiction, natural history, and guidebooks in total comfort.

A five-foot tall sliding window links the kitchen to the built-in Fire Magic barbecue suspended at the cliff's edge outside.

At Sea Stone every room has a view, and every room leads outdoors. The terrace...and pool at the cliff's edge are perfect for sunning and horizon-to-zenith stargazing.

Two identical master bedrooms with covered porches are located at opposite ends of the house for maximum guest privacy. Both spacious suites have king sized beds, built-in desks, and beautiful sea views. Each bedroom has its own bathroom with outside garden shower. There's gated access to each shower from the outside porch area, for convenience after sunning or swimming. Watch cruise ships graze by from the comforts of your shaded balcony.

For a few weeks at the turn of the year, the sun both rises and sets over the water at Sea Stone. At other times, the sweeping views southward from every room will color up with sunrise and sunset clouds.

At Sea Stone, you can just sit and enjoy the tranquility of nature...relax in the hammock under the shade...or sip tropical concoctions... enjoying panoramic views...knowing that you've found paradise!
