Description from the manager
LOCATION. South Palm is located in the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates, which is a neighborhood of recently built, high-quality, multi million dollar vacation homes. South Palm sits at an elevation of about 290 feet with very pretty views of Great Cruz Bay, the Caribbean Sea, St. Thomas and other islands off in the distance. You’ll also enjoy colorful sunset views and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas at night. As of 2013, South Palm has only one other house on its drive and it has no abutting neighbors. This is a very peaceful and private location with very little traffic and discreet clothing optional sunbathing. This is also a villa for... sun lover's, with sun on the pool deck from early morning to sunset. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, fitness room, spa and shops at the Westin Beach Resort, below you, but if you linger at the beach bar, it’s a bit longer walking up the hill. Of all the Virgin Grand Estates homes, South Palm has the easiest walk to the Westin. The many restaurants, bars, shops and other delights of the village of Cruz Bay are a 10-15 minute drive, entirely on paved roads.
DESIGN. South Palm’s owner is a professional homebuilder who spent many years planning this home, which was completed in the summer of 2006. The attractive and functional 3-level design seen here is somewhat similar to the design of its popular Virgin Grand neighbor, Vista Caribe. South Palm has multiple exterior rooflines, but the 2800 sq/ft interior is all under one roof. The design incorporates many classic architectural features such as tiled roofs, beamed cathedral ceilings, coral stone floors, Doric columns, French doors under arched windows and a 750 sq/ft covered veranda (deck) on the villa’s south and east sides, and an 1100 sq/ft antique brick pool deck.
You park above the house and descend stairs to the main level and enter into the great room. The kitchen, powder room and dining areas adjoin the great room, and multiple French doors open to the tiled and covered decks. Off the deck, exterior stairs lead down a half level to the pool and an 1100 sq/ft brick sun deck. There is one bedroom/bath and private balcony on the main level, and a second bedroom/bath and private balcony is on the 3rd (upper) level. The other two master bedrooms are on the lower level and open to a sun terrace that is below the pool level. All four bedrooms are accessed by interior stairs and the entire site is colorfully landscaped with a vibrant array of tropical vegetation.

CARIBBEAN VILLAS' COMMENTS. The owner of South Palm is an experienced custom homebuilder who oversaw the design and construction of his island home. This seems to be a theme at the Virgin Grand Estates, where beautiful homes like Rapture, C’est Blue, and Vista Caribe were all built by different owners who are luxury home builders. Like the three Virgin Grand owner/builders before him, South Palm’s owner did a superb job. The site, layout, construction materials, and livability are all first class. Some of the many features that we like include:Read more
