Description of Villa Diamante

Villa Diamante is located at the end of a quiet cu-de-sac amongst a bower of trees and vivid bougainvillea. Built in two pavilions separated by a spacious sun deck with an octagonal pool overlooking Sir Francis Drake Channel and the U.S. Virgins beyond, this whimsical artist's hideaway offers charm and seclusion with flair. The main pavilion houses the living room with a kitchen area separated by Mexican wooden screens, and a powder room is just around the corner; on the other side of the pavilion is a romantic covered lanai for dining by the deck. This pavilion is bordered by a covered gallery on the pool side set with comfy overstuffed chaises, just perfect for sinking into with that stack of magazines and a cold cocktail. Across the pool deck is the second pavilion, built on two levels and graced with a colorful riot of flowering plants. The deck level offers the king master suite with its polished hardwood floor (bare feet only, please!) and inventive decor accented by collections of seashells, antique pieces and a blend of pleasing textures and fabrics. The queen bedroom/bath suite is just above; each suite offers ocean vistas and cooling trade winds. Villa Diamante is uniquely furnished with rustic but very comfortable furniture, adorned by ethnic fabrics and accessories, shells, kick-knacks from around the world, and displays a rare sense of style in Caribbean colors, setting a lighthearted holiday mood. You'll find this serene and private property is the perfect spot from which to watch the yachts sail into the sunset.

Rental Notes:
VIlla Diamante's two bedrooms are situated one on top of the other, and there is little soundproofing between the upper and lower floors; therefore, we recommend that this villa be rented by families rather than to 2 couples, but of course, this is entirely up to you.
