Get close to St. John’s abundant natural beauty with this secluded and affordable island home. Just a few minutes’ drive from Cruz Bay, HAIKU is the first architect-designed, traditional Caribbean-style house built on the island. Designed in native West Indian style influenced by the Danish great-houses, Haiku is built on one floor at ground level; it is safe for children and is wheelchair accessible. Entry is through a garden gate beyond which is a covered, open-air living/dining room pavilion made from hand-laid stone. Island trade winds keep you cool while lounging in the living room, eating at the dining room table, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the adjoining tiled patio. A garden of native flowers and trees provide shade and quiet not just for you, but for island birds and animals as well. While cooling off in the patio swimming pool (about 19' x 9' x max. 4.5' depth), you might spot one of the resident iguanas feeding on the garden flowers.

The air-conditioned Master bedroom has a bathroom shared with an adjacent air-conditioned bedroom that has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and is suitable for children or another couple. On the other side of the house, separated by the living/dining room, is a third air-conditioned bedroom that also has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and its own bathroom. Plus, there is a private outdoor shower off the Master bathroom, and a second outdoor shower by the pool where you can wash off all the sand you’ve accumulated from enjoying St. John’s phenomenal beaches.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, microwave, countertop toaster/oven, blender for cocktails, refrigerator, and plenty of cupboard and counter space. China, glasses, silverware, cooking vessels, and utensils are provided as well as place mats, dish towels, a gas barbecue grill, and other amenities to make cooking easy and fun. A washing machine, dryer, and clothesline are located behind the kitchen. Haiku also provides WiFi, a UV & Filter Water Treatment System, and a propane Backup Generator in case of island power outages. The driveway can easily accommodate three vehicles, so invite new friends over for drinks after dark while marveling at the luminous night sky.

Why they chose this property

We love the island of St. John for its natural beauty, slow pace, upbeat and friendly islanders, gorgeous beaches, colorful coral reefs, hiking trails, and Caribbean shopping.

What makes this property unique

Haiku has wonderful views. When one looks outward, everywhere you look is another beautiful vista both close by and in the distance, yet privacy is maintained. The unique architectural style of Haiku allows cooling trade winds to flow through the rooms. Many of the island animals take advantage of the garden’s native plantings. It is not unusual to see, iguanas, lizards, butterflies and birds of all kinds visiting Haiku while you’re there. Put some sugar out in the bird feeder to lure hummingbirds and bananaquits. Some of the best moments come just lounging in the swimming pool, looking at the sailboats in Chocolate Hole, having an evening cocktail while watching the sun set, or relaxing in the hot tub while seeing the Milky Way more clearly than you ever could in a city.
