VI Friendship is a magnificent luxury villa perched oceanfront on Great Cruz Bay. Centrally located less than a mile beyond the charming town of Cruz Bay this gated, private property lets in the unspoiled natural beauty of the islands while providing total seclusion. The space All the key elements of a superb vacation villa are right here: six equally-sized, air-conditioned bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms and individual verandas, an expansive salt water infinity pool and jacuzzi, a bulkhead sand “beach,” gym, game room, and two additional half-baths. The stunning waterfront location boasts an expansive view of the bay dotted with pleasure boats and The Westin Resort's white sand beach in the near distance. Petite and Great Saint James Islands and a view of the horizon are seen on the other side of the property. High, vaulted ceilings frame an interior that is bright, spacious and contemporary. The open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas afford convenience while allowing the conversation and ocean views to continue uninterrupted. Floor to ceiling banks of windows invite the glorious outside in, natural stone accents and cooling travertine floors throughout plus a superb floor plan provide both privacy and lots of space for everyone. All bedrooms offer interior access, making the house great for families and couples alike. Sought after bonuses include a home office, an air-conditioned and fully-equipped gym which overlooks the sparkling bay on three sides, two powder rooms, plus a huge air-conditioned game room for everyone's enjoyment including a competition-rated ping-pong table, pool table, game tables, and tons of games. Directly outside the game room is your own bulkhead “beach”: an area spread with white sand and set with chaise lounges for basking in the sun by day and festive evenings of cocktails and storytelling. The home's top level features the entrance foyer, exercise room, and a roof-top terrace - the perfect spot for sunsets and star-gazing. From here stairs lead down to VI Friendship's bi-level main floor. A granite-countered kitchen and island separates the east and west wings of the villa. Just beyond the kitchen area are a convenient powder room and the office alcove. The villa is equipped with a 56-inch TV and DVD player in the living room and 30-40 inch TVs in all other rooms; each room of the home includes a wireless media server, providing access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Amazon Prime, ESPN etc. There is WiFi throughout the property and a Sonos sound system similarly supplies music that can be individually tailored to every bedroom, living/dining room, kitchen, game room, gym, pool deck and beach.
