Drake’s View is a luxury villa that has the same vista named by the Caribbean Travel magazine as “the best view in the Caribbean” – a spectacular view of the British Virgin Islands and the East Shore of St. John. One to four couples or a large family will have ample room for privacy, and relaxation.

Drake’s View is a four bedroom, 4.5 bath villa with a tile patio, heated swimming pool, and hot tub. Four additional tile decks, a large tiled front porch, and a separate cottage terrace provide ample outdoor lounging areas. One of the bedrooms is in a separate cottage. Drake’s View is centrally located on Bordeaux Mt., the highest point in St. John (almost 1300 feet), and is surrounded by lush vegetation. The roads leading to there are all paved and the villa is surrounded by lush local vegetation. It is a 6-minute drive to the VI National Park North Shore beaches; 3-minutes to the Reef Bay Trail; 7-minutes to Coral Bay; 15-minutes the Cruz Bay; and is one-quarter mile from Château Bordeaux, one of the island’s great restaurants. From the front door, you can hike the Bordeaux Mountain Trail to secluded Lameshur Beach in one hour. The well-equipped kitchen is very spacious and includes one of two dining areas. Three bedrooms have king sized beds and one has a king, convertible to twins. Each bedroom has air-conditioning, a private bath, and Swedish TempurPedic mattresses. All the bathrooms are the same with tiled showers and plenty of cabinet space. Two Tesla Powerwalls have been installed to make the villa more environmentally friendly, and help guests avoid any power outages during their stay. The traditional architecture of the house entrance with yellow stucco, red roof, and simple columns contrasts with a dramatic facade of glass along the east wall. No matter where you look in the house or cottage, you see Coral Bay, the valley of Estate Carolina, Drake’s Passage, and the British Virgin Islands. On a clear day, you can see the Baths at Virgin Gorda. Rainbows, mangrove cuckoos, kestrels and red-tailed hawks are common sights. Drake’s View has the ambiance of a home rather than a rental. The large great room is furnished with Indonesian, American antiques, and contemporary, comfortable, plantation style furniture. Local art is featured throughout the house.

This property features a cottage with separate bedroom, for added privacy.
