About this property

A Winsome House

Tucked into an emerald green hillside, lies a very special property. Winsome House is an escapists dream.. a world away, yet convenient to everything. In fact, only a quick, 5 minute downhill drive brings you to the world renowned North Shore beaches. The home is nestled into the hillside 800 feet above sea level, offering sweeping views of the Caribbean and complete privacy and quietude.

This enchanting Caribbean home offers state of the art conveniences including air conditioning, wifi and flat screen TV.....but Winsome House provides so much more! Built in the elegant style of historic plantation homes, this villa is as beautiful as it is functional. The inviting Great House provides interior dining and entertainment spaces, which open through handcrafted mahagony doors to a wonderful covered gallery for savoring that incredible ocean view while enjoying an al fresco meal. Island ambiance is reflected throughout with designer furnishings, hand selected for beauty as well as guest comfort.

A separate, two-story building sits just steps away, housing two equal and elegant bedrooms and baths, and ensuring privacy and independence for all guests. This home is perfect for couples and families alike. The lower king bedroom opens onto the main deck and the pool through two mahogany French doors. The large shower, from which the sea can be viewed, opens onto a private brick and native stone patio. Just up a wide, brick staircase is the master bedroom, also with king bed. This bedroom opens onto a private, covered deck with yet another incredible view. The ensuite bath also offers a shower with an incredible sea view that is sure to delight. Both bedrooms pamper guests with high count bed and bath linens to delight and soothe after a day at the beach..

Custom Mahogany kitchen cabinetry stocked with Villeroy & Boch dinnerware and Calphalon cookwear and cutlery will please the most discriminating . A beautiful carved wooden table provides an elegant dining experience when weather dictates.
Step outside onto the large epei wood deck, and enjoy a cool dip in the pool, which is equipped with a solar cover, to keep the water temperature balmy year round. Colorful gardens surround you and watching the hummingbirds dart from flower to flower will become a new pastime. Both sun and shade areas are provided for lounging, and an unobstructed view of the turquoise sea and islands beyond will beckon.. making it hard to leave this magical spot!

Situated ideally at mid-island, Maho Bay and the string of North Shore beaches are but a five-minute drive away. Ram Head, Salt Pond and the solitude of the East End are reachable within fifteen minutes, as are many of the island's best hiking trails. Casual to fine dining and provisions are close at hand in Coral Bay or a few more minutes away in Cruz Bay.
Winsome House is a non-smoking villa.

Lovely House with Beautiful Views, Perfect Location for visiting all parts of St John.
We were stunned by the beauty of the views and the surrounding landscape of this lovely 2 BR house. The house is built in Caribbean style, and furnished in a warm and comfortable style. It is actually 2 buildings, one with great room, cooled by breezes and fans, and the other building having 2 BRs cooled by breezes and fans, or AC. But we didn't find AC necessary, at all. We preferred to hear the tree frogs and birds singing. We would often cool off in the pool after a hot day at the beach. Everything you need is included- there are beach chairs, coolers, ice packs, beach towels. Bathrooms included extra towels, hairdryers, and shampoo, etc. just as you would expect in a 5 star hotel. Located just 10 mins from Maho Beach or Coral Bay, everything felt close. A light and airy experience! You will need a 4 wheel drive car.

Spring Break in Paradise
Wonderful property, third time to St. John, first at this location, a wonderful stay. Stunning views from every window, all amenities first-rate, kitchen well-stocked, furnishings lovely and comfortable, easy access to beaches; deck, and pool just what was needed at the end of a long day at the beach. The check-in process is easy, appreciated a parking pad for the car, and loved the architecture of the home, arched screened doors throughout created a wonderful breezy island stay, and especially enjoyed having the bedrooms in a separate building just next to the main house with the balcony on the second floor for the amazing view. The paved road to the house is very helpful when navigating the hills to be expected as part of any trip to STJ. Couldn't have asked for a better location or accommodations.
