Coco De Mer

Villa Coco de Mer, overlooking one of the most beautiful and dramatic ocean views in the world, is one of the Caribbean's most magnificent private villas. Designed in a Greco-Roman architectural style, Coco de Mer's palatial qualities are accented with grand Doric columns and an amphitheater that leads to a romantic semicircular 50 ft pool.

Located at the exclusive gated community of Peter Bay Estate, Coco de Mer is appointed in 5 star elegance and surrounded by the majesty of pristine St. John beaches and tropical panoramas. Coco de Mer is secluded, private, and tranquil, yet only minutes away from Cruz Bay restaurants and activities. In the style of a Greek Amphitheater, Doric columns and grand archways lead to a 50 foot pool. As at Cinnamon Bay Estate the views from Coco de Mer are truly some of the most stunning views of natural, tropical beauty anywhere on St. John and anywhere in the world.

Coco De Mer is located in the upper row of homes that stretches across the small north shore neighbor of Peter Bay. It's about a five minute walk from your villa to the white sands and turquoise waters of Peter Bay Beach. Peter Bay is one of the few parcels of pristine north shore land that was not deeded over to the National Park by Lawrence Rockefeller in the 1950s, and today it remains tranquil, peaceful, private and exceptionally scenic, surrounded as it is on all sides by National Park forests, waters and reefs. The Peter Bay gated community homes all have deeded access to the beach at Peter Bay, which is located between the National Park beaches at Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay and is very similar to these world class, exceptionally beautiful beaches. The fine white sand and usually calm turquoise waters of this exquisite beach provide excellent swimming and good snorkeling. On a perfect beach day in February the National park beaches will host hundreds of people, but it's rare to see even a handful of people on Peter Bay (it's privately owned). The gorgeous views from Coco De Mer look north and east and include the lush mountains of the north shore of St. John, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays, Whistling Cay, and Great Thatch and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. It's a five to ten minute, incredibly picturesque drive to the three restaurants at the acclaimed Caneel Bay Resort, and another five to ten minute drive to the captivating restaurants, shops and groceries in the fun loving, delightful town of Cruz Bay.

Coco De Mer is a spacious (approximately 7000 sq/ft), beautiful estate house that consists of three buildings; a 2-level great house, a 2-level guesthouse to the west of the great house, and a private 1-level guesthouse to the east.

• You enter from above and descend to a stone courtyard and the upper level of the great house which contains the kitchen, living and dining rooms plus a powder room.


• French doors on the upper level open to a spacious covered deck that is framed by Doric columns


• Covered stairs lead to two bedrooms and a full (6th) bath on the lower (pool) level of the great house


• Path leads through a small garden area to the semi-secluded one bedroom east guesthouse


• Two more bedrooms with superb views are located in the west guesthouse at the edge of the pool


• Large 50 foot pool is on lower level and 4-person hot tub is just below pool in a romantic garden setting


• A most distinctive architectural feature of this gorgeous home is the terraced area that descends from the upper level to the pool. This is actually a tiled amphitheater that overlooks the pool and has built in seating, a pair of Bose outdoor speakers and a central mosaic. This beautiful feature makes Coco de Mer a superb home for weddings, and family and corporate events.

• Living, dining and kitchen areas occupy entire upper level of great house. Tiled floors, vaulted beamed ceilings and rich hardwoods define this generous area. French doors open to a sizeable balcony that provides magnificent views and seems like an outdoor extension of the living area. Centerpiece of living room is the entertainment center with satellite TV/VCR/CD and a music and movie collection. Interior dining table is a handcrafted mahogany table that seats 10 and there is additional exterior dining.


• Elegant and completely equipped kitchen is filled with rich mahogany cabinetry that is accented by ceramic counter tiles. Kitchen appliances and hardware is all high quality and includes a stainless steel gas grill, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker and dishwasher. Gas barbeque grill, washer/dryer and a fax and answering machine are also included.


• The spendor of Coco de Mer's Great Room is rivaled only by its magnificent setting. Though it enjoys a state-of-the-art entertainment center with surround sound and wireless DSL, the high definition view from the balcony is the most breathtaking.


• Furnished for comfort in the tropics, Villa Coco de Mer is appointed with 5 star amenities including elegant dining, a chef's kitchen, a breakfast/lunch bar, and stainless steel appliances.


• All of Coco De Mer's bedrooms have king beds and are air conditioned (one of the lower great house bedrooms has a set of twin beds that convert to a king), and all have French doors that open to views, decks or balconies. Bedrooms are all of approximate equal size and quality, although the west guesthouse bedrooms have the preferred balconies and views. All bedrooms have satellite TV/VCR and tiled bath and shower and all are attractively furnished and accessorized.

• Bedrooms: 5
