A columned entry portico ushers you into this spectacular villa, and as you step inside the foyer, the picture-perfect panorama of 2B's azure sea view will take your breath away. 2B at Peter Bay's main floor is actually on two levels. The first level includes the portico, foyer, library/office and open-design kitchen. Six steps lead to Great Room and sitting area for reading, TV and movies, and for formal dining. Five sets of double French doors lead to the expansive covered gallery decorated with cushioned sofas and a dining table for eight, ready for alfresco dining with a view. The gallery is the heart of this villa and overlooks the grandeur of Peter Bay and green islands beyond. A wraparound balcony surrounds three sides of the gallery, with one side featuring a gas grill and wine cooler. Two steps lead to the private pool and sun deck, with chaise lounges for sunbathing and a small cocktail area for two. A short stone staircase leads through lush landscaping down to this villa's next tier, offering a stone terrace with a large hot tub. A few more steps lead to a secluded waterfront overlook of Peter Bay's coral reef, rugged lava shoreline and the beautiful National Park waters and surrounding hills. This overlook is named Anniversary Point in celebration of its discovery on the owners' 25th wedding anniversary. Anniversary Point is a special intimate nook for two, designed to share a glass of wine and quiet moments together. Additional stone steps along the water's edge, lighted for balmy nights, lead gently down to the totally private Beach Terrace perched just 10 feet above the rolling ocean waves. Chaise lounges and chairs provide the perfect setting to watch pelicans diving for fry, turtles swimming by and enjoying the song of the ocean and pristine views that go on forever. By night, stretch out and stargaze, or watch the moonrise from the Beach Terrace. Several steps beyond the Beach Terrace take you to a shaded oceanside path and to the sugar white sands of Peter Bay Beach, just 100 feet away - enjoy the idyllic beach or excellent reef snorkeling in Peter Bay. Back inside the villa you will find all four of the air-conditioned bedroom suites widely separated for exceptional privacy. Two equal queen suites are located on opposite sides of the house, on the same level as the library/office, powder room, and kitchen. Each queen suite is graced by a lovely carved mahogany four-poster bed, a private balcony for two facing the ocean, and a sheltered outdoor shower screened by lush landscaping. From the dining area in the Great Room just steps below, a staircase leads to the villa's third queen bedroom suite. This suite, identical in size to the other two above, has an ornate iron bedstead, its own private balcony facing the ocean and overlooking the Beach Terrace, and a tiled inside shower. Another short stairway leads to a foyer and into the exquisite king master suite, set on its own private level. This spacious suite features a massive mahogany king bed and a surrounding walkaround balcony which provides awe-inspiring sea vistas. From the master suite, a lighted stone walkway connects to a garden terrace with a hot tub and a sitting area. All four of 2B's bedroom suites are air-conditioned, fully screened, and each has a private balcony from which to savor the wide-angled ocean views. This gracious home is beautifully decorated with casually elegant furnishings, finished with faux-painted frescoed walls, and highlights a collection of original artwork by St. John's Kat Sowa. The high vaulted ceiling imparts a grand sense of scale and spaciousness. Exceptionally well designed, the multi-leveled floor plan provides architectural interest; the villa's varying levels are easy to navigate and provide various private nooks and areas for occasional solitude. Arched transom windows above the oversized screened french doors let the glorious tropical light in, and handcrafted native stonework throughout this home and landscaped gardens add to your island pleasures. 2B at Peter Bay is furnished with your comfort in mind without sacrificing its artful elegance and style. This rare oceanfront location on beautiful St. John will fulfill most vacation wish lists. Please book early to secure your vacation dates at this magnificent one-of-a-kind residence.

<![CDATA[Gun Point]]> http://www.purplepineapple.com/villa/Gun Point A magnificent 5-1/2-acre peninsula is the site of this historic island property - Gun Point's exceptional location within a private estate on this promontory provides a profound sense of peace and solitude.

The very top of Gun Point was long ago used as a cannon emplacement which fired out to sea at pirate ships venturing too near the coastline.

Now a nature trail leads to this serene and breezy spot for cocktails at sunset, with superb sea views of passing yachts and green islets and cays.

This very English estate was built in 1969 around Gun Point's original 18th-century gunpowder store; as there were no roads in those days, all building materials had to be brought in by sea to Gun Point's jetty and then trotted to the site by a donkey named Liz.

This dock nowadays is the perfect spot for snorkeling and swimming, and the estate is still in the family. The property was completely renovated in 2005 to a high standard of updated luxury, reviving the holiday magic enjoyed at Gun Point decades ago.

Gun Point now offers five new air-conditioned bedrooms in two pavilions, all facing out to sea and built adjacent to the new state-of-the-art low-chemical pool.

The Main House comprises the living area, equipped with a high-end media system, and a custom kitchen which opens out to a covered living/dining terrace with a built-in gas grill. This spacious terrace looks out to the beach at Smugglers Cove.

Gun Point's air-conditioned bedrooms are all named in a British family tradition: in the Main House, the king master bedroom/bath suite, which is built within the original gunpowder store, is "Union."

This suite has its own private terrace and also accesses the main terrace. "Jack" is the other bedroom/bath suite, which also has french doors opening to the main terrace.

Steps from the covered terrace lead to the infinity-edge pool and sun deck and to an outdoor shower. Three paths then thread through tropical landscaping - to the private dock with a boathouse for shade and steps for easy access into the ocean, to the top of the Point, and through the garden to the beautiful white sands of next-door Smugglers Cove beach.

A native stone walkway connects to Gun Point's Guest Pavilion, with three more bedrooms and a study: "Fish," a king suite, and "Chips," a suite with a king or two twin beds, both have air-conditioning, ensuite baths and private terraces. And "Salt" is the double-bed bedroom which shares the bath with "Chips." On the slightly-lower level is "Pepper," offering a study with air-conditioning, a home office with computer, a double sofabed and a half bath with a covered alfresco shower just outside - perfect for teenagers.

GUN POINT'S RENTAL RATES INCLUDE A CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 5 DAYS PER WEEK and TWO BOTTLES OF WINE UPON ARRIVAL: Included in your rental rate is a complimentary gourmet dinner for all High Season guests, to be prepared and served by one of Tortola's best chefs on the evening of your choice. (During Low Season, a light self-serve welcome meal will be prepared for your arrival). Continental breakfast 5 days a week are prepared by Gun Point's housekeeper/cook. Gourmet dinners at the villa by one of Gun Point's recommended Tortola chefs may be arranged prior to arrival or during your stay, and will be charged on a per-person basis - please inquire for menus and rates. Gun Point's staff will be delighted to stock Gun Point with your list of groceries and beverages just before your arrival; they'll shop, and you'll reimburse Gun Point for the cost of your groceries and drinks when you arrive."

This wonderful, electronically-gated family estate offers serene, secluded luxury for guests of all ages, a sense of history, and a spacious and relaxing island hideaway for groups large and small.

Enjoy the Caribbean seascape in one of Tortola's most peaceful and private homes - gourmet magic in the kitchen, superb snorkeling, sun-kissed days at the beach and romantic nights of stargazing, the sound of soothing waves, and the natural beauty surrounding this very special place will enchant you.

Anegada lies 12 miles north of Virgin Gorda and Tortola and is the most remote of the BVIs. It looks different, too: totally flat, non-volcanic and protected by miles and miles of fish-filled coral reef. Anegada's 15 contiguous miles of pristine, undeveloped white sand beaches are delectable. Lavenda Breeze is located right on famous Loblolly Bay, one of the five best snorkeling beaches in the Caribbean*. People hardly have words to describe the beauty of the beach. On TripAdvisor one visitor wrote "Loblolly Bay...a little piece of Heaven".** This is truly one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere. Lavenda Breeze itself is luxury beachfront living in a terrific 3 bedroom house that sleeps as many as six. It's immediately apparent that this is no ordinary rental house. All the modern conveniences are there — as well as those little touches that make life comfortable and easy while you're on vacation. One guest said: "this house ... embodies the magic of the island." Since Lavenda Breeze is situated right on the beach, you will walk out your door to the best swimming and snorkeling in the BVI. Or you can sit on the covered deck and relax or read, always protected from the tropical sun, while you watch the waves break on the reef. At night watch an occasional cruise ship or tanker pass by silently on the horizon. The 360 degree deck affords a view for miles without any other houses in sight. It is truly a feeling of being on "the edge of the earth," "out of this world," in paradise!

The Caribbean is all about the “outside”: the panoramic views and cool trade wind breezes twelve months of the year. Mañana is inside out living! Many people passing by have stopped to take a picture of Mañana because she portrays one’s vision of a Caribbean paradise. As you walk through the gate you are in the land of enchantment. First, the sound of the waterfall into the pool – inspired by D.H. Lawrence “ … but the icy little spring softly pressed upwards from its tiny well-bed of pure, reddish-white pebbles. How icy and clear it was! Brilliant! The new keeper had no doubt put in fresh pebbles. She heard the faint tinkle of water, as the tiny overflow trickled over and downhill. … she heard the tinkle as of tiny water bells." And then, the fragrance of jasmine and frangipani. The poolside patio is surrounded by flora and overlooks the sea. Chaise lounges and pool floats complement the Spanish tile patio for basking in the sun. The sun is strong in the Caribbean and the shaded lean-to with it's hammock is often a welcome respite.
