Las Brisas Caribe is located in Maria Bluff, St. John. (more photos)
The tip of the peninsula between Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor is called Maria Bluff and it is home to Las Brisas Caribe. Maria Bluff has always been a quiet area of expensive villas, and with the completion of Las Brisas a new standard of excellence has been set for this upscale neighborhood. The beautiful water views from Las Brisas extend for 180 degrees across the sun splashed sea and include dazzling Caribbean sunsets and the distant twinkling lights of St Thomas and other islands at night. The restaurants, beach, tennis courts and fitness room at the Westin Resort are less than a five minute drive, and the charming boutiques, restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay are less than a ten minute drive on paved roads.
Las Brisas is a superbly designed and constructed, distinctively furnished home that was completed in 2002. It is built on three levels, with the kitchen, dining room, living areas, two guest bedrooms, and decks and patios on the main level. The master bedroom is on the upper level above the Great House, and the fourth bedroom, pool, pool side gazebo and sundecks are located on the lower level. This handsome design incorporates tiled roofs, beamed cathedral ceilings, private covered verandas supported by 12' Doric columns, gorgeous stone walls, tiled floors, and mahogany French doors that open to antique brick patios. Las Brisas is a south facing, sunny home that is cooled by air conditioning, ceiling fans and gentle breezes and also provides plenty of cool shady spots under the gazebo and many covered decks.
The elegant and romantic theme found throughout Las Brisas is reflected in all four bedrooms. The master bedroom is truly lovely and includes a four poster hand carved king bed, a complete entertainment center, a desk/workspace, and a divine tiled bath with an antique bathtub and an open air shower. The two guest bedrooms on the main level have four poster queen beds and the pool level bedroom has two twins that convert to a king. All bedrooms have a feeling of gracious romance and include air conditioning, cable color TV/VCR, stereo/CD systems, walk in closets, attached tiled baths with open air showers and French doors that open to furnished private decks with sunset views.
The kitchen is one of the finest that we have seen in a St. John rental villa and includes a six-burner gas stove, Jenn Air refrigerator, granite countertops, handsome mahogany cabinets, a Viking range and abundant cookware and dinnerware. The formal dining room seats eight in style, while a breakfast dining area on the terrace seats four under a lattice arbor. The living room is a classic statement of Caribbean distinction with decorative stonewalls, large French doors, a towering cathedral ceiling, and comfortable tropical furnishings.
