Description from the manager
LOCATION. The land that separates Great Cruz Bay from Chocolate Hole Harbor forms a peninsula that juts a half mile out into the Caribbean Sea. The tip of this peninsula is called Maria Bluff, and thanks to its cliffside lots, stunning views and convenience to Cruz Bay, it has always been one of St. John’s preferred neighborhoods.
Colibri is located at the mouth of the picturesque harbor at Great Cruz Bay - on the right tip of the peninsula. This is a cliff side home that sits about 70 feet above the Caribbean Sea and is about 1/8 mile beyond Blue Skies and about 1/8 mile before Las Brisas Caribe. This setting gives you some excellent..., very enjoyable views. To the northwest is the mouth of the harbor with sailboats coming and going from Great Cruz Bay, to the west are colorful sunsets and views of St. Thomas, Hans Lollick and Lovango, while the view to the south looks out at Dog Island and the St. James’ Islands. It's a short drive (6-8 minutes) on paved roads to the restaurants and boutiques of Cruz Bay. It’s also a half mile walk to the three restaurants, beach, fitness facilities, spa and shops at the Westin Resort.
DESIGN. Colibri is a cliffside villa that incorporates 3-levels of decks to create a spacious home designed for outdoor living. You park above the villa and descend stairs to the upper level of the house. The upper level contains the 700 sq/ft great room with living, dining and kitchen facilities, plus the master bedroom. Outside the walls, on the south facing side of the great room there is a 900 sq/ft covered deck complete with a covered gazebo, deck furniture, exterior dining and fantastic views. On the opposite (entrance) side of the great room is a quiet garden courtyard with seating for six. Exterior stairs lead down to the lower level with two more bedrooms and another large covered deck, also with deck furniture. The 1600 sq/ft sun deck and the 33 foot pool are 6 steps below the lower level. The sun deck has lots of deck furniture and a cliffside dining table for four. From the pool to your vehicle you ascend 4 flights of stairs so this design may help you stay (or get) in shape, but this may not be the best option for guests who have difficulty with stairs.

LIVING/DINING. The living and dining areas were completely remodeled in 2010 but the defining feature of the living room is its view. The living room is sandwiched between the garden courtyard on one side, and a spacious covered deck on the other side. The comfortable furniture seats six and there is a 55 inch flat screen TV/DVD, high speed DSL, and a stereo/CD (and the view) to entertain you.
There is an interior mahogany dining table for eight off the kitchen, and a second table for eight on the upper level covered deck. On the pool deck, the cliff side table for 4-6 enjoys a striking location. All three dining stations have excellent views of the Caribbean.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' COMMENTS. After spending some time at Colibri, it becomes apparent that three qualities define and distinguish this villa. First and foremost, this is a dramatic cliff side location with exceptional day, evening and sunset views. If Great Cruz Bay had been blessed with a fort to guard it from pirate raids in the 17th and 18th centuries, this is where it would have been placed. This is not a busy harbor, but all the beautiful boats coming and going from Great Cruz Bay pass below you – it’s like you’re on a distant reviewing stand. Small waves lapping at the rocks below you also help to create this breathtaking cliff side atmosphere. Second, this is a house designed for outdoor living with three levels of waterfront decks plus a garden courtyard off the great room. For those who prefer the shade there are large covered decks on both levels. For sun lovers, the 33 foot pool is the heart of this home. It sits in the middle of a 1600 sq/ft sun deck and both get painted by sunshine from 9 am until sunset.
Third, Colibri was always a fine home due to its location, but thanks to a complete remodeling in 2010-11, Colibri is now a much more modern, beautiful and upscale villa.
