L'Esperance
Caribbean rental villa, Flag Hill, south central, St. Thomas
You're the king of the hill with all of Charlotte Amalie, cruise ships, seaplanes, and St. Thomas's harbor spread at your feet from the floor to ceiling windows in the Great Room of this stunning villa. Originally the home of a 50's movie actress, this magnificent property high atop exclusive Flag Hill has just been beautifully renovated. The all-new kitchen is state of the art, and the expansive family room opens to a spacious stonework patio (home of the famous flag of Flag Hill) with breathtaking Caribbean views.
Three private and imaginatively decorated bedroom/bath suites are on the main level, including a master suite with its own secluded sitting room. The main floor also contains a media room with a large-screen TV and an extensive movie collection. The media room adjoins a full bath, and with its sofabed, may be used as an extra bedroom. Two additional bedroom/bath suites on L'Esperance's lower level overlook the pool area. Each bedroom enjoys direct access to an exterior deck or patio and its own bath.
Although L'Esperance is ideally situated to capture refreshing tradewinds, the entire villa is air conditioned with separately controlled units for each room. On the pool deck you'll find not only an incredible view from a generously sized pool, but also a fully equipped shaded pool house with refrigerator, gas grill and a full bath. A few steps up from the pool deck is a large hot tub overlooking the vistas, and nearby is a nature trail threaded through lush and diverse tropical plantings. A separate building houses your own work-out room with commercial-quality equipment.
At dusk, when the sun sinks into the sea and the lights come up in Charlotte Amalie, you're in a front row seat to enjoy the romantic vision of her twinkling lights from your dining table; it's a view you'll never forget and which you'll never want to leave.
L'Esperance may be rented with Overlook, her sister villa just below, to accommodate family gatherings of 18-22 people.
A small cottage on the far side of the property is occupied by L'Esperance's caretakers and their quiet, well mannered dog, but your privacy at this gated 5-acre retreat is always assured.
L'Esperance is a non-smoking villa.
