About this property

Anole - Amazing North Shore Views! Come see for yourself.

Anole is a 4-bedroom, 4 1/2-bath villa that is located in Cinnamon Bay, surrounded by St. John’s National Park and about 600 feet above the soft white sands of Cinnamon Beach. This is considered to be one of St. John’s finest neighborhoods and the homes in this upscale locality tend to be pricey and distinctive. Although there are other homes in the neighborhood, the privacy of Anole is superb and this setting is the very definition of a peaceful, quiet and away-from-it-all island hideaway. The view is absolutely gorgeous and includes Tobago and Little Tobago Islands, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, and other islands floating on a sea that continuously changes colors throughout the day. Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay lie below you and offer excellent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, wind surfing, and stress free relaxation on a world class beach. It's a 15 minute drive into or from Cruz Bay and the last 1/2 mile is a bumpy dirt road intended to discourage tourists from wandering into your very private and quiet neighborhood.

Anole is built on two levels. The great room and two bedrooms/baths, plus a half bath are on the upper level, and two more bedrooms/baths and the pool are on the lower level. You park on the upper level and as you enter the great room the first thing you see is the gorgeous view of Cinnamon Bay. The kitchen and interior dining are on the right side, while the living area occupies the left half of the great room. A tiled sundeck is off the great room, and exterior stairs off the sundeck lead to the pool and the lower bedrooms. The lower bedrooms also offer lots of privacy, with a covered deck located between them. The pool sits in a very private, lushly landscaped spot on the west (left) side of the house and can be accessed by stairs from the house or the entrance area.

The four oversize bedrooms (305 sq/ft) are all located to insure excellent privacy from each other. The upper level east (right) bedroom has a king bed while the other three bedrooms have twin beds that convert to kings. The two lower level bedrooms are accessed by exterior stairs from the upper deck or the pool deck. Each bedroom has a lovely 150 sq ft fully screened porch with wicker furniture, and each bedroom has a telephone and a tiled bath and shower.

The great room has a cathedral ceiling, handsome stonework, tiled floors, and a 30 x 8 foot wall of screened glass doors that offer marvelous views from everywhere in the room. The living area is furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan furniture, cable TV, a stereo CD and wireless internet. The interior dining table and the dining table on the upper deck both seat 6-8. There is also a table and chairs on the pool deck.
The kitchen is in the rear of the great room but it also shares the gorgeous view. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher and microwave oven. In the back of the kitchen there is a pantry and a washer/dryer and a gas grill is on the upper deck.

Note: A 4 wheel drive vehicle is advisable for Anole. The Anole neighborhood roads are unpaved, and the road conditions vary dependent on the weather. The roads are not dangerous, but can be bumpy due to periods of heavy rainfall during rainy season.

Simply Breathtaking Beauty
If anything, the pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this place -- the house, the location, the spectacular view. It took a little while to adjust to the lack of air conditioning, but it is built in a way to maximize fresh air flow. The pool is also a nice way to cool down. The kitchen is well stocked and there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as well as to congregate. We ate inside and outside. It is somewhat tricky to find, but that is also part of its charm.

Family Reunion on St John
Great location with a spectacular view of Cinnamon Bay. Four bedrooms with baths were perfect for four couples. Each bedroom had a view and a screened porch. The grand room had a vaulted ceiling and was the perfect setting for family meals around a large glass table. We enjoyed hiking on nearby trails and snorkeling along thje reefs and beaches.

Unbeatable View
I usually stay in Coral Bay so this was a real treat. The view/location cannot be beat. The architecture was charming and the landscaping made it feel like we lived in a palm tree paradise. Be sure to rent a Jeep as the drive up the mountain is steep. But very worth it.

Absolutely Spectacular View!
The view from Anole is the highlight of this property! Stunning and spectacular! Great way to view God's amazing handiwork! House is beautiful. Many have said it already, but the drive to Anole is tricky to say the least. We had a 2-door Jeep Wrangler and 4-door Bronco. The Wrangler was the best for the rough roads and hairpin turns. Definitely DO NOT try to bring a larger sized SUV. The ocean breezes were wonderful and birds singing in the trees were beautiful. We did not realize this ahead of time, but most houses on St. John, including Anole, are not air conditioned. We were there in July, so we were probably warmer than the other months. It took some adjusting! There are a lot of fans that help to cool the air. If you attract mosquitoes, be sure to bring bug spray. The mosquito nets over the beds were very helpful.

Fantastic trip
What a wonderful stay we had! We’ve been to St. John several times and could not truly anticipate how gorgeous the views were from this spot. With a young traveler with us it was so convenient to come home to the pool for a break and still enjoy the beauty around us. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the layout of the house. We lost power on the island a couple of times during the week, the second time for an extended period. We would just ask the hosts to consider purchasing a generator, as others around us had, for those unexpected times. If traveling to St. John with a larger group again, we would certainly stay again!

Why they chose this property

If you stay at Anole you’ll understand why we chose this neighborhood and this particular lot. To make a long story short, we wanted to be in the national park and we also wanted a location that was ultra private, peaceful and quiet. We’ve been told by the St. John real estate pros that this is one of St. John’s most private homes. Anole isn’t in the middle of nowhere, it just feels that way. We do have neighbors, but the thick tropical forest prevents anyone from seeing you, or from you seeing anything other than green forests, blue skies and turquoise seas. This is, and will forever remain, a natural and exceedingly beautiful view. As you enter Anole, a 30’ wide, 8’ tall wall of glass reveals the view that defines this villa and makes it a beautiful and exhilarating vacation home. At night the only lights visible are a sparse string of lights on the distant island of Jost Van Dyke, and the glow of lights from Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. The stargazing is excellent, and the sensation of being on a tropical island, seemingly removed from civilization, is wonderful.

What makes this property unique

Once we secured this ultra private lot to build on, we then continued our focus on privacy into the design of the villa. We placed the bedrooms on opposite sides of the villa, and with two up and two down, each bedroom remains exceptionally private and quiet. We also did something different in designing the bedrooms. First, we went big, the standard bedroom is 150 sq/ft and we doubled the size to 305 sq/ft. Second, we used almost half of each bedroom’s space to create a screened in porch that is a natural extension of the bedroom. If you like to read or relax in a perfect setting surrounded by the sounds of the tropics, you’ll love these romantic and cozy bedroom porches. This is a feature that our real estate guy said was unique to Anole. The clothing optional privacy at the pool is a rarity, although Anole does share this feature with a few other villas. The view is also a fascinating delight; the sea constantly changes colors and textures as the sun rises and cloud shadows scurry across Cinnamon Bay. It never fails to capture your attention and you are constantly saying to anyone nearby, “aren’t those colors just beautiful?”
