Live the sweet life in an elegant, hilltop villa that links St. Croix's intriguing past with today's most luxurious lifestyles. This charming, West Indian great house embraces a 40-foot private pool and overlooks the sea with a stunning view of the Salt River Bay where Columbus arrived with his fleet in 1493.

Enter through double gates of solid mahogany to a spacious outdoor gallery surrounding the custom-shaped pool. Here, catch up on your reading in a colonial planter's chair under the shade of palm trees, or stretch out on one of three decadently cushioned, lounge beds and enjoy the sun or the stars. A breezy gazebo is perfect for lunch in a bathing suit, complete with a handy grill and speakers for background music. And at cocktail time, Harry's Bar is irresistible—it's your own private poolside pub with a gleaming mahogany bar and four barstools.

From the pool area, Harry's Bar leads into a magnificent Danish yellow great room and dining area with a spectacular window wall facing the Caribbean. Shutters lower at the touch of a button if you decide to darken the room for a movie and an armoire entertainment center is complete with DVD/VCR, iPod docking station, satellite television, and even Sirius radio.

Though you can spend glorious days without ever leaving the villa, its centered north shore location is ideal for enjoying all St. Croix offers.

Toward the East of the island you can explore the Colonial Danish West Indian town of Christiansted, with its historic sites, boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. Or, go the other direction for the Salt River Marina and Cane Bay, both offering scuba diving, kayaking, and additional water sports. Enjoy spectacular sunsets at the island’s second town of Frederiksted at the far West end of the island. Enjoy fine dining available on St. Croix.
