Delfina, Caribbean

Description from the manager

Construction Note:

As of winter 2012, we anticipate some construction noise and possibly periodic construction traffic interruptions that could affect the Peter Bay neighborhood. Please enquire with one of our Villa Specialists for further details.

Sequestered behind Peter Bay's electronic gate, Delfina is distinguished by five beautiful bedroom/bathroom suites, a gourmet kitchen, an entire level devoted to family entertainment, with the entire residence cooled by central air-conditioning. Stone pillars invite you into the large, brick entry courtyard and parking area of this exceptional residence.

Coral stone steps open to... the pool, which overlooks one of St. John's most awe-inspiring views of Peter Bay, the green National Park lands, the British Virgin Islands and Blue Ocean in the distance. Large glass sliding doors and screens designed to disappear into the walls lead into Delfina's sitting and dining areas on the main level, allowing for true indoor-outdoor living.

A circular patio is just off the indoor sitting area, set with deeply cushioned wicker chairs and ottomans for cocktails with a view. On the opposite side of the pool is a shaded wet bar with icemaker and mini-fridge, a powder room, hot tub and small lawn area with palm trees and a hammock. Inside, the gourmet kitchen with granite counters adjoins the dining area (seating up to 14 guests); the screened French doors lead to the barbecue area, equipped with a stainless gas grill and rotisserie, as well as a hand-painted Italian stone dining table with umbrella. An alcove off the kitchen offers a desk with DSL line for your laptop, telephone, fax/printer/copier, pantry and laundry room.

Down a few stairs is another powder room. Up a few stairs, a hallway displaying photos of St. John accesses two bedroom/bathroom suites: the Trunk Bay Suite, done in refreshing blue and white, and the Leinster Bay Suite, featuring a citron and black theme. Each suite has its own private covered balcony overlooking scenic Peter Bay set with table and chairs for two, a TV and DVD player, a DSL connection, bathrobes, baths with tiled alfresco showers, mini-fridge and coffeemaker, so that guests may enjoy a private cup of morning coffee while savoring the beginning of another beautiful day in Paradise.

Separating the two suites is a completely-screened lanai, a quiet sitting area with a TV and DVD player which looks out to Delfina's back garden and tall trees. Above, via another short staircase, is the palatial and very private master suite. Its balcony high above the view provides romantic seclusion, and the sitting area and mahogany four-poster king bed are showcased by a stunning rosewood wide-plank floor. The lavish master bath features an onyx countertop, 2 travertine stone sinks, a separate WC with toilet and bidet, and a walk-in closet. The tiled alfresco shower, big enough for two, looks out to a grove of trees.

Between the villa's main level and the entertainment level are two more bedroom/bath suites connected by a common open-air sitting area which is bordered by gardens and a small lawn - the Bordeaux Suite is done in pale, cool green with a queen four-poster bed, and the pink Coral Bay Suite offers a king four-poster bed. Each of these suites has its own covered balcony, a TV and DVD player, a DSL connection, bathrobes, baths with tiled alfresco showers, and a mini-fridge and coffeemaker.

The fun continues on Delfina's lowest level: the main room has a pool table, a large circular wet bar of native bluebit stone and granite with barstools, icemaker, mini-fridge and TV, and a full bath with shower. Screened pocket doors open to a wraparound balcony. Adjoining is the media room, with comfortable seating and a 50-inch flat screen TV, DVD player, books, board games for all ages, and extensive collections of movies and music for your holiday pleasures. Next to the media room is another entertainment alcove offering an Xbox, an electronic dartboard, pinball machine, TV and DVD player, a treadmill a double-twin trundle bed and a queen sofa bed- perfect for the older kids who can't bear to leave this electronic heaven!

Delfina was lovingly constructed over a four-year period. Its top-of-the-line details such as travertine floors, full air-conditioning, elegant furnishings, fabrics and accessories, and wonderful landscaping make this property one of the finest. Superb attention has been given to providing excellent and plentiful amenities appealing to all ages, and to developing a spacious design providing excellent privacy for couples, while allowing room for families and friends to spend quality time together. Delfina's prominent setting within the desirable enclave of Peter Bay, and its close proximity to Peter Bay's idyllic beach below and to other nearby National Park beaches elevates this luxury residence to five stars...absolutely fantastic!

  great villa and great location

  Left on 03/21/2013 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  The villa is as beautiful as the pictures. The furnishings and linens were top-drawer and in perfect condition. The pool is small, but perfect for four to six people. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, serving pieces and cookware. The appliances were wonderful (although the fridge does take awhile to cool down.) The internet is slow as it is satellite, so do not think that you wil have the ability to download movies. The Star Wars pinball machine was wonderful and provided us with competitive entertainment. The beach for Peter Bay was a very short walk and is beautiful. Hawksnest, Cinammon and Trunk beaches are just a few minute drive. The smoothie stand at the junction of 10 and 20 is worth the drive. Overall, one of the best homes we have ever rented. Great location, great house! Small kids would be tough as the furnishings are beautiful and expensive. - Barbara R., Vermont, USA

  We had the best time. The water was so beautiful. The sunrise and sunset were spectacular. The food from the Ted (the chef) was wonderful. Most of all the company we were with. Would love to come back to Delfina in the future. - Julie F., Maryland, USA
