Oleander is located in beautiful
Klein Bay, which is a small neighborhood of
luxury homes on St. John's Caribbean coast.
Ditliff Point is the peninsula that curves south
into the Caribbean to form the idyllic Klein
Bay, where softened trade winds and crystal
clear waters provide great swimming, snorkeling
and kayaking.
As of 2006, all of Ditliff
Point remains natural and undeveloped and your
view of the Point is as beautiful and unspoiled
as it was 30 years ago.
A 5-15 minute swim or snorkel
takes you to the usually deserted white sand
beach on Ditliff Point, or a path allows easy
access for swimming and snorkeling at the
tranquil pebble beach below you.
Although Cruz Bay is only a 10
minute drive on paved roads, very few tourists
come to this lovely, peaceful side of paradise.
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath villa was
built in 1991 and has been maintained in very
good condition.
Oleander is a two level design
with most of the living space located on the
lower level.
You park on the upper level and
walk down tiled stairs to the tiled pool and
sundeck, located in the middle of the villa .
On the right is the great house
with the great room (living, dining and the
kitchen) on the lower level, and a loft bedroom
and bath accessed by interior stairs on the
upper level.
To the left of the pool is
another 2-story building containing the upper
and lower master bedrooms, each with a tiled
bath and garden shower.
There are covered decks off the
dining room and both master bedrooms, and a
sundeck around the pool.
Oleander faces south and
the pool and sundeck are blessed with sun all
day.
Oleander has two air conditioned
master bedrooms (king beds), with terra cotta
tiled floors, Henry Link wicker beds,
nightstands, a chest of drawers, a desk, chairs
and cable TV.
Each also has Chinese lamps,
sheer white curtains, a walk-in closet and a
private fully tiled bath and a delightful garden
shower.
Screened French doors open to a
private deck and a view of shimmering turquoise
waters.
The carpeted loft bedroom has
white wicker twin beds that convert to a king, a
cheval mirror, nightstand, lamp, chest of
drawers with mirror, a standing curio and a
large closet.
Arched screened windows provide a
good view of the Caribbean and a ceramic tiled
bath with shower, vanity and mirror adjoins the
loft bedroom.
The living room is casual and
island elegant, with its beamed cathedral
ceiling, arched windows, ceiling fans and terra
cotta tiled floors, it is the essence of
tropical relaxation.
For your entertainment there is a
cable TV/VCR, a stereo with CD player and
cassette and a glass fronted breakfront
containing books, movies and CDs
The interior dining area opens
through French doors to a covered dining deck
with a magnificent view, a gas BBQ grill, and
Tropitone deck furniture.
On the pool deck a third dining
area with an umbrella table seats 4-6.
The kitchen contains tiled
countertops, a slide-in gas stove and oven, a
built-in microwave, refrigerator/freezer, double
sinks with garbage disposal, dishwasher,
toaster, blender, coffeemaker, toaster oven and
a fax/phone.
A washer/dryer is located in a
separate utility closet off the pool deck. Also
included are a complete assortment of cooking
utensils, kitchen implements, linens and pretty
china and glassware for a party of eight.
Oleander and its neighbor, Orchid
Villa, were built in 1991 by the original
developer of Klein Bay.
As developers often do, this
developer kept two of the choicest lots for
himself for Oleander and Orchid Villa. Jump
ahead to 2006 and it’s obvious that the location
and design chosen for Oleander was an excellent,
well considered choice.
Oleander combines a gorgeous, semi-private
location and a well designed and maintained
residence set in an intimate cove of exclusive
(2-4 million dollar) vacation homes.
The beautiful landscaping is lush
and full and includes ever-blooming varieties of
many tropical flowers and palms.
Other outstanding natural
features include easy access to delightful
swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in sparkling
clear 82 degree waters, the calming sounds of
lazy surf, spectacular morning sunrises, the
endless view across the Caribbean to St. Croix
and beyond, and the stars that seem impossibly
bright and close in the clear night sky.
This combination of a beautiful
setting with a very comfortable and
competitively priced villa has made Oleander a
very popular home that is consistently rated
highly by our guests.
If Oleander is not
available for the dates you desire, check the
availability for Orchid Villa.
Orchid is Oleander's neighbor and
sister home and its design and furnishings are
very similar.
For groups wishing to rent
neighboring homes with a total of six bedrooms,
Oleander and Orchid are a perfect pair.
For 1-2 families, honeymooners,
lovers and all who desire just one lovely home
in a beautiful waterfront setting, Oleander is a
sure winner. |
