Casa Del Sol Villa

Description

Casa Del Sol Villa is located on the top row of villas in the exclusive neighborhood of Klein Bay. There are about fifteen upscale villas in Klein Bay which is a snug cove that is part of Rendezvous Bay, a larger Bay on St. John's Caribbean coast. Only about half of the lots in Klein Bay have been developed. Limited development of this area insures its unique beauty, privacy and peacefulness. Ditliff Point is the peninsula that curves south into the Caribbean and protects two beaches in Klein Bay that provide swimming and snorkeling close to home among turquoise waters dotted with brightly colored fish, sea fans and other sea life. A 5-15 minute swim or snorkel takes you to the little used white sand beach on Ditliff Point, or you can swim and snorkel at the tranquil pebble beach directly below you in Klein Bay. The restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay are a 10 minute drive on paved roads.

The pool has stereo speakers on both ends, and a few steps away is a granite wet bar and refrigerator with another set of speakers and speaker controls. Both the pool and the roomy sun deck are bathed in sunshine from sunrise to late in the afternoon, and at night, starlight and moonbeams shimmer on the sea before you.

For people who love to spend time outside, but not in the sun, Casa Del Sol’s covered decks and balconies provide numerous places to relax, unwind, and enjoy the cooling trade winds and lovely views. The decks have a direct line of sight into the pool, so adults can relax nearby but still keep on eye on any kids in the pool.

Last but not least, this oversized lot provides a peaceful location with wonderful water views and enough privacy for a full body tan.
