Great Expectations Description
Each of the 4 spacious, air-conditioned Master bedrooms of this St. John vacation rental has a private bathroom with double sink vanities and indoor/outdoor showers. They also have high cathedral ceilings with skylights, ceiling fans and soft lighting adding to the sense of spaciousness.
The master bedroom suites are furnished with custom-made teak furniture from Bali including a California (extra long) King-size bed which can be converted into 2 Twin-size beds and each bedroom can comfortably accommodate a foldaway bed or portacrib for children (no charge when staying in the same room as parents).
There are 2 beaches within walking distance of this St. John villa rental. The closest beach for swimming and fabulous snorkeling is just a short walk (or drive) to Chocolate Hole - a sandy beach with calm, protected water on the west side of the villa.
To the east is Hart Bay beach which is accessible by a path from the villa. It is a very secluded beach; you cannot get to Hart Bay by car or even boat as the coral reef comes right up to the shore so it is worth the visit. Guests not wishing to venture down to Hart Bay beach can still enjoy the magnificent views from Great Expectations villa rental and listen to the waves breaking on the beach below.
