Coco de Mer, overlooking one of the most beautiful and dramatic ocean views in the world, is one of the Caribbean's most magnificent private villas. Designed in a Greco-Roman architectural style, Coco de Mer's palatial qualities are accented with grand Doric columns and an amphitheater that leads to a romantic semicircular 50 ft pool. Located at the exclusive gated community of Peter Bay Estate, Coco de Mer is appointed in 5 star elegance and surrounded by the majesty of pristine St. John beaches and tropical panoramas. Coco de Mer is secluded, private, and tranquil, yet only minutes away from Cruz Bay restaurants and activities. In the style of a Greek Amphitheater, Doric columns and grand archways lead to a 50 foot pool. As at Cinnamon Bay Estate the views from Coco de Mer are truly some of the most stunning views of natural, tropical beauty anywhere on St. John and anywhere in the world. Coco de Mer is located in the upper row of homes that stretches across the small north shore neighbor of Peter Bay. It's about a five minute walk from your villa to the white sands and turquoise waters of Peter Bay Beach. Peter Bay is one of the few parcels of pristine north shore land that was not deeded over to the National Park by Lawrence Rockefeller in the 1950s, and today it remains tranquil, peaceful, private and exceptionally scenic, surrounded on all sides by National Park forests, waters, and reefs. The Peter Bay gated community homes all have deeded access to the beach at Peter Bay, which is located between the National Park beaches at Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay, and is very similar to these world class, exceptionally beautiful beaches. The fine white sand and usually calm turquoise waters of this exquisite beach provide excellent swimming and good snorkeling. On a perfect beach day in February, the National park beaches will host hundreds of people, but it's rare to see even a handful of people on Peter Bay (it's privately owned). The gorgeous views from Coco De Mer look north and east and include the lush mountains of the north shore of St. John, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays, Whistling Cay, and Great Thatch and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. It's a five to ten minute, incredibly picturesque drive to the three restaurants at the acclaimed Caneel Bay Resort, and another five to ten minute drive to the captivating restaurants, shops, and groceries in the fun loving, delightful town of Cruz Bay. Coco De Mer is a spacious, 7000 sq. ft., beautiful estate house that consists of three buildings; a 2-level great house, a 2-level guesthouse to the west of the great house, and a private 1-level guesthouse to the east. Coco de Mer sits on .6 acres overlooking Cinnamon Bay and Francis Bay, allowing privacy and seclusion for up to five couples, and plenty of space for weddings and special event functions. Beautiful tropical gardens grace the Coco de Mer grounds. The walking trail to beautiful Peter Bay Beach, exclusive to the Peter Bay community, begins at the gardens below the pool. The peaceful, private, and exclusive Peter Bay location, and the overall commitment to a luxurious design and excellent fixtures, furnishings and equipment, makes Coco De Mer an exceptional rental villa that is certainly one of St. John's most exclusive. Peter Bay Estate, the gated community where Coco de Mer is located, is certainly among the most beautiful neighborhoods in the world.
