Villa Madeline

The road leads up to a paved driveway with plenty of room for parking — hard to find on St. John. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need for those nights you wish to dine in. The water at Villa Madeline is filtered and treated with UV light and is ready right out of the faucet — no plastic water bottles needed. Off the kitchen is a half bath and laundry room with a full-sized washer and dryer.

The open-air living area extends from the kitchen and features in-home entertainment (Dish TV and Wi-Fi included). The main living area is equipped with A/C and two large screened slider doors that look out over Coral Bay and allow the trade winds to circulate throughout. Exit through the glass sliders onto the wraparound porch on the upper level where you can enjoy coffee in the morning while watching the sunrise over East End. The villa is also equipped with solar panels and a backup battery, so in the event of an island power outage you can still enjoy all the amenities.

An exterior staircase takes you to the pool deck and lower-level bedrooms. The private pool overlooks Coral Bay. On the pool deck you'll find an outdoor shower with beautiful stonework, plus a bar area with gas grill for dining al fresco. A short descent reaches the two lower bedrooms — each equipped with queen-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, and individual A/C units. Slider doors off the bedrooms lead onto the lower-level wraparound porch. The villa is perfect for one or two couples.
