Skyway, a 5 bedroom, 5 bath, beautifully landscaped home on Gifft Hill offers both privacy and convenience to Cruz Bay and the north shore beaches on St John, Virgin Island. With over 2000 square feet of open patio, Skyway offers true spaciousness. The breezeway and cocktail area is shaded from the afternoon sun and overlooks the western tip of St. John, Pillsbury Sound, St. Thomas, and in the distance, Puerto Rico, Vieques and Culebra. Skyway has Sirius satellite radio playing through indoor and outdoor Bose speakers. |

| The site for Skyway was chosen 37 years ago when any location on St. John was available. It is the highest point on the westerly side of the island with panoramic views of St. Thomas, St. Croix, Vieques, Culebra and Pillsbury Sound.
As the sun sets
before you at dusk, the heavenly show begins. A virtual planetarium
unfolds each evening overhead. The 180 degree view includes St. Croix
to the south, Pillsbury Sound, St Thomas and surrounding islands to
the west and north. Puerto Rico, Culebra and Vieques are also in the
western view. Considered the best sunset view on the island." |

| The beautifully furnished great room opens to the pool deck on the west, to the shaded garden near the dining room to the east, and to the breezeway and cocktail deck to the north. The handsome living room includes a 40' inch flat screen LCD Sony Bravia TV with Dish network satellite service and Internet access! Skyway has almost 4000 square feet of enclosed living space.

There are full blinds for privacy. The fourth queen bedroom on the
main level is perfect for children. The bath is just a couple of steps
outside, which also makes it a perfect pool deck bathroom.

| The large
pool is 24' x 13' and 4' to 8' deep. In addition to gentle entry
steps into the pool, there is a seating ledge along one side for
a relaxing soak. There is no chlorine used in Skyway's fresh water
pool with the NaCl system, a process in which salt is converted
through ionization. No odor or feel of chlorine.
