Bliss - STT

Description from the manager

Bliss's decor and ambience is inspired by the flavor and history of the south of France's Provence region, echoed by a bottle of French wine for your arrival, complimentary imported French toiletries, and interiors reflecting colors of Cezanne and Chagall and other French painters who celebrated this region.<br /><br />A curved brick walkway escorts you from the shaded parking area to the covered entry, and into the Great Room. The air-conditioned Great Room is elegantly furnished with a pleasing blend of cushioned seagrass furniture, teak, mahogany, and handpainted and antique pieces. This high-ceilinged space incorporates a livi...ng area with large flat-screen TV, Blu-Ray DVD player, and an AV receiver with surround-sound. There are lots of games and puzzles, a home-office nook with a desk and printer, a dining area, and was designed with lots of windows and glass sliders for a light, airy ambience. The very well-equipped and laid out kitchen (filled with lovely Provence-inspired china and serving pieces, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances) adjoins the Great Room's dining area, divided by a custom mahogany island with bar stools. Around the corner are a handy wine fridge and a door which leads out to the back garden area and to a professional gas grill. An attractive powder room and a laundry room are just off the Great Room and kitchen, and beyond these is the inviting master suite.<br /><br />Glass sliders open from the front of the Great Room onto the tiled expanse of sun deck and pool which overlook the Atlantic, Hans Lollick island and down-island views in the blue distance. A large gazebo by the pool is a wonderful spot for shady alfresco meals on sun-kissed days, while outdoor speakers provide music. The tiled terrace borders the entire seaward-facing side of Bliss, and near the sliding glass doors leading back into the interior dining area is a shaded nook with cushioned furniture for reading, cocktail conversation, or just gazing at the mesmerizing marine views.<br /><br />The master bedroom/bath completes the main level at Bliss. This serene suite boasts air-conditioning, a romantic four-poster king bed, cable TV with a Blu-Ray DVD player, glass slider doors which access the terrace and pool, and a truly spacious ensuite master bath dressed in travertine tile, featuring a double-sink vanity, a soaking tub and a large indoor shower. A door opens to a stunning private outdoor garden shower artfully built with brick and native stonework within a private bower of flowers, ferns and palms.<br /><br />Back inside Bliss, a staircase leads to the upper story where two air-conditioned bedrooms share an alluring aquamarine-tiled bath. One bedroom can be made up as either a king bed or as two twins, with your advance notice, and reflects the vivid colors of the Caribbean. The third bedroom's decor harkens back to old British colonial days and offers a queen four-poster bed, a caned settee, and a handsome mahogany armoire. Both bedrooms have sliders which open to a long balcony, set with table and chairs looking out to sea. The upper level expansive bath features a double-sink vanity and an ample walk-in shower in a lovely aquamarine palette.<br /><br />Bliss is beautifully detailed and wonderfully equipped with so many vacation pleasures in mind, while offering an easy-living floor plan. Its location within the gated and patrolled enclave of Mahogany Run Golf Course is only one mile's drive to world-famous Magens Bay Beach. The sublime sea view out to Hans Lollick Island will put stars in your eyes. Charming decor with hints of Provence throughout add a unique flavor to this really superb home...it's most certainly "C'est maqnifique!" Very highly recommended.</p>

  Dear Ms. Todman,
  You are so very correct when you say how wonderful a gift this was for my sisters and me. My son never ceases to amaze me. Just when I think it can't possibly get any better, my son shows me differently. Our stay at the Bliss Villa in St.Thomas was very relaxing for the three of us.The only negatives we had were the locks in the master bedroom and the door leading to the outdoor grill not working, as well as the sign directing us to our villa that was knocked down. The rooms were just as beautiful as they were comfortable. The views from every single direction were breathtaking. Even watching the rain come across the ocean was spectacular. Standing on the balcony being showered by that soft rain blanket was a very spiritual experience. We enjoyed touring the islands and mingling with the residents as we dined, danced, shopped and shopped some more. There was so much to see and experience.
  The Bliss is a place I am sure I would love to visit again. There was no amenity that was not addressed with such grace and detail. Sunbathing by the pool and beaches while our friends and families battled snow and freezing temperatures at home was a "hard" task but someone had to do it and the Bliss Villa was the ideal place to do it.
  
  As always,
  Margaret, Beverly and Dianne - The Powe Sisters
