Sea Forever enjoys incredible views above St. John’s southwestern shore. This lovely property in Chocolate Hole is close to Cruz Bay, but still feels private.

The villa enjoys 180º panoramas of the ocean, St. Thomas, and the sunsets. Five levels of exterior space gives guests ample space to lounge and relax outside. On the lower level, there is an outdoor dining set beneath a covered balcony. The pool deck holds a freeform pool, several loungers, and a couple palm trees. A short staircase leads up to the “party deck” where guests can dine al fresco, grill on the barbecue, and soak in the hot tub. There’s also a wet bar, an outdoor kitchen, and an adjacent observation deck. The balcony is slightly elevated above this level and stretches across the width of the villa. Guests can relax in the swinging chair, loungers, or armchairs. Sea Forever offers state of the art WiFi throughout the villa, and a full outdoor audio system for music streaming.

The gorgeous, open-concept Great Room is surrounded by glass sliding doors that frame the view. The interior has an elegant beach house vibe, with white slipcovered furnishings and pale, honey-hued wood accents. Guests can watch movies on the flatscreen TV, enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar, and cook any meal in the spacious kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a massive center island, and elegant pendant lighting. A circular alcove holds the formal dining room, where up to eight guests can feast amongst tropical views.

Each of Sea Forever’s bedrooms has a king bed, a flatscreen TV, and an ensuite bathroom. Four of the five suites have access to a terrace or balcony, and both of the lower level suites can only be accessed from the exterior. On the main level, there are three suites total. One of these suites can be made up with two twin beds instead of a king, and has exterior access to the outdoor common areas. This level’s master suite attaches to the living room through a covered balcony.

Sea Forever enjoys ample parking space, so guests can easily park multiple rental cars. The villa is a quick drive from Cruz Bay’s shops, restaurants, and bars. The North Shore’s white sand beaches are close enough for an afternoon excursion, and there are several hiking trails around the area to explore.
