Le Lapin is an inviting 4-bedroom, 4 bath private villa with solar heated pool. The homeowners designed the villa to appeal to all St. John vacationers, as very few homes on the island are fully contained in one living space. From the great room to the bedrooms, all are interior access, which makes it a perfect choice for families traveling with children or couples looking for a spacious island getaway. From where you park your vehicle, you walk up a few stairs to the gated pool area. The pool is 34’ x 12’ and includes plenty of lounge chairs for you to work on your golden tan or if you prefer some shade, relax in the hammock under the poolside pergola. The pool is located on the less windy, west side of the home, where the sun shines from sunup to sunset. Just up from the pool level is the front entrance to the villa. The main level of the home includes the kitchen, living and dining area as well as two bedrooms and two bathrooms. An interior staircase takes you to the upper level where the two master bedrooms and baths are located. All the bedrooms include beautiful views of Hart Bay, a/c and have a screened sliding glass door which opens to the unique wraparound decks and covered porches on each level. The dual views are a favorite feature of this amazing home. From the living room, your views look out over Hart Bay and the south side of St John. Even though you are high on the hillside, you can still see and hear the waves breaking on the shoreline below. From the kitchen and pool side, your views look back across to St. Thomas and with this westerly view you will be in awe as the sun sets and as the twinkling lights of St. Thomas come on in the evenings. Le Lapin is located on an acre of land in Hart Bay; atop the largest hill separating Hart Bay and Chocolate Hole. This very quiet and private spot enjoys outstanding 300-degree views, including sunrises and sunsets. You will love looking out over the beach at Hart Bay, and will enjoy listening to the ever present sounds of the surf as the waves roll on to the shoreline.
