This Mediterranean style, four bedroom luxury villa sits at the top of a mountainside overlooking St. John’s pristine Hurricane Hole, designated a Virgin Islands Coral Reef Monument in 2001. Heaven’s Gate is a serene and very private hilltop vacation villa. Each of the four handsomely furnished bedroom suites includes its own private bath, three with outside showers, and each suite has access to outside terraces. Please review the House Rules prior to booking. Compliance is mandatory. The space Heaven’s Gate sits alone, high atop a hill, surrounded by Virgin Islands National park lands, with sweeping, unobstructed 180 degree views of Hurricane Hole and open ocean dotted with small islands and cays, including Leduck Island, Peter Island, and Tortola. This mountaintop retreat affords complete peace and privacy and is close to world-class snorkeling at Haulover Bay just below. It is also close to Brown Bay Trail, one of St. John’s best hiking destinations. This trail connects with the Johnny Horn Trail, which takes you to the Annaberg Sugar Plantation Ruins. The villa includes a private sparkling pool with built in seating, a gourmet kitchen, a large comfortably furnished great room, and both upper and lower level covered terraces framing the breathtaking views. And it is all surrounded by beautiful gardens and extensive tropical landscaping. The property sits on over an acre of private land. Its hilltop location facing east provides direct exposure to the cooling winds, unlike many other properties that remain hot with little to no breeze. You may open the French doors to enjoy the natural cooling of the Caribbean trade winds while you relax. Guest access You may check in anytime after 3pm. Early check-ins can be arranged if you request one and I confirm with you that the cleaning team has finished their preparations for you. Other things to note It is required that you input an accurate guest count for your group prior to booking. It is highly recommended that you rent a Jeep or similar SUV for your island adventure. Small cars are inappropriate for many of St. John's roads. I recommended Courtesy Car Rental which provides the best service of all. Please take into consideration that June through November is hurricane season. This property is not equipped with a back up generator or power supply in the case of a power outage. All profits from rentals of this property go toward the reconstruction of my family's farm, Coral Bay Organic Farm and Garden Center, which was destroyed in hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. If you decide to book, we thank you for being an important part of this effort to revitalize the only reliable source of local salad greens, vegetables, herbs, and fruits to the community of St. John.
