Tennis Villa is one of only three homes on St. John that has a private tennis court. It’s also one of only a handful of St. John homes that combines lots of space and privacy with easy access to numerous activities and amenities at the house or at the nearby Westin Resort, or in the close by town of Cruz Bay. Tennis Villa is located in an ultra convenient and unusually private setting that is a 3-4 minute walk to a white sand beach on the calm waters of Great Cruz Bay. The house is built on the peninsula that separates Great Cruz Bay Harbor from Chocolate Hole Harbor, and it has picturesque views of both harbors. This is one of St. John’s most desirable neighborhoods with a mix of moderate to ultra expensive villas. For convenient dining options, spa services and water sports, it's an easy walk to the four star Westin Resort and it's a quick 5-minute drive to the restaurants, bars, shopping and groceries in the always entertaining village of Cruz Bay.
Tennis Villa is a one-story custom designed home, built in 1995 that consists of a 3-bedroom/3 bath main house, plus a 1-bedroom/1 bath pool cabana (house). The main house contains a large gourmet kitchen, the living and dining areas, and three bedroom/baths, while the one bedroom pool cabana overlooks the pool and the tennis court. The very spacious and comfortable living area includes a 56” flat screen TV and DVD, stereo/CD and a regulation pool table. Three large arched doorways that are framed by stately columns and beautiful stonework flow from the living room into a spacious garden courtyard that encircles a 43- foot pool. The south-facing courtyard gets all day sun and affords clothing optional privacy and harbor and sunset views.
A charming guest cottage named Tennis Cottage is located behind Tennis Villa in a concealed setting that insures that both Tennis Villa and Tennis Cottage are completely private and hidden from each others view. The 3-bedroom/3 bath Cottage has its own 40’ pool, a kitchen and living room, a private driveway and south facing scenic views of Chocolate Hole Harbor. Tennis Cottage can be rented with Tennis Villa as a 7 bedroom estate, or each villa can be rented separately. When rented separately the guests of the Cottage do not have use of the tennis court.
Tennis Villa's sizable kitchen is very well equipped and includes a gas range and hood, ovens plus a microwave oven, white ceramic double sinks, 2 refrigerator freezers, toaster, blender and complete cookware, china and glassware. A washer/dryer is located off the kitchen and a gas barbecue grill is on the pool deck outside the kitchen door. There is plenty of room for multiple chefs, and this spacious kitchen will easily handle a large group.
The four air conditioned bedrooms, (4 kings that convert to 8 twins) and the four adjoining baths are comparable in size and furnishings. In order to insure sound and visual privacy there are no common walls between the bedrooms. Each bedroom has abundant closet space, tasteful furnishings and an attached tiled bath. Three bedrooms are located in the main house while the fourth bedroom is housed in the pool house.
