Orchid Villa was built on a dead
end road with very little traffic in the
exclusive and quiet cove called Klein Bay.
Klein Bay is a small neighborhood
of luxury homes located in the eastern corner of
the larger bay known as Rendezvous Bay, on St.
John's Caribbean coast.
As of the spring of 2006 only a
third of the lots in Klein Bay had been
developed, so this area retains much of the
unique beauty, privacy and peacefulness that are
the essence of St. John.
Ditliff Point is the peninsula
that curves south into the Caribbean to form
Klein Bay.
The low hills of Ditliff soften
the trade winds to insure gentle breezes and
tranquil, crystal clear waters.
As of 2006, all of Ditliff Point
remains undeveloped and your view of the Point
is beautiful and unspoiled.
Two beaches provide swimming,
snorkeling and kayaking among reefs dotted with
brightly colored fish, sea fans and other sea
life.
A 5-15 minute swim or snorkel
takes you to the usually deserted white sand
beach on Ditliff Point, or you can swim and
snorkel 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, pristine location
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath villa was
built in 1991 and has been maintained in very
good condition.
Orchid 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 which are located in the middle of the
villa.
On the left is the great house
with living and dining rooms, the kitchen, and a
loft bedroom accessed by interior stairs.
On the right 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 both
master bedrooms and the dining room, and a
sundeck around the pool.
The living room is a tasteful
statement of casual elegance with an exposed
beam cathedral ceiling, ceiling fans, and terra
cotta tiled floors accented by colorful rugs and
Henry Link rattan furniture.
The formal dining room opens onto the pristine
views and seats six at a glass topped table
surrounded by six high backed cushioned rattan
chairs.
A private covered dining deck
with Tropitone furniture seats 4-6 and offers a
wonderful spot for a casual breakfast or lunch.
At the pool deck an umbrella table seating 4-6
provides a third dining area.
The sparkling white tiled kitchen
is crisp, modern and well equipped with a GE gas
stove and oven, a refrigerator/freezer with ice
maker, double white ceramic sinks with garbage
disposal, a built-in microwave, a GE dishwasher
and a toaster, blender, coffeemaker and toaster
oven.
The cupboards are filled with a
tasteful collection of china, dinnerware,
cooking utensils and kitchen implements.
A gas BBQ grill is on the deck
and a washer/dryer is located in a separate
utility closet off the pool deck.
The west wing contains two air
conditioned bedrooms (kings), which are equal in
size and furnishings. Each contains a Henry Link
white wicker bedroom set, including nightstands
with Chinese lamps, a chest of drawers and a
desk and chair.
Both have a 20" cable color
TV/VCR for private viewings, and a telephone to
call your business associates to tell them that
you're never coming home. A set of screened 6'
opening doors lets you awake to soft breezes and
lovely views.
A private deck with deck
furniture is an ideal retreat to watch the
sunrise over morning coffee or to enjoy a
private evening cocktail. Each bedroom adjoins a
fully tiled bath with ceramic sinks and tiled
garden showers. Varnished cedar stairs lead to
the fully carpeted 3rd bedroom with twin white
wicker beds, matching nightstands, lamps, 2
chests of drawers, a large closet and a standing
curio. Arched screened windows provide a
wonderful view of the Caribbean and a ceramic
tiled bath with shower, vanity and mirror
adjoins the loft bedroom
Orchid and its sister home,
Oleander, were built in 1991 by the original
developer of Klein Bay. As developers often do,
this one kept two of the choicest lots for
himself.
Orchid Villa offers quiet relaxation,
picturesque views, and moderate privacy in an
intimate setting of exclusive (2-4 million
dollar) vacation homes.
Other great features include;
easy access to calm, sparkling clear waters that
offer delightful swimming, snorkeling and
kayaking; the soothing background music of ever
so gently breaking surf; an orange sun and a
shimmering moon rising out of the sea before
you; colorful ever blooming flowers and
landscaping that envelope the house; 2 A/C
bedrooms with king beds, private decks and
TV/VCRs, stylish touches such as Italian marble
around the pool, arched windows, and tasteful
artwork; and a very competitive price.
