St. Thomas Vacation Rental villa: St. Thomas

SPECIAL: Stay 7/Pay 6 or Stay 10/Pay 8 when you book after 2/12/09 and travel before 12/18/09

You awaken to the gentle sound of the ocean lapping on the shore. Your eyes take in the spectacular beauty of the Caribbean sea - you've found your own slice of paradise! One Beach Road is a luxury beachfront villa, secluded behind an electronic gate and offering four air-conditioned bedroom/bath suites.

The Palm Court entry leads up to the main living area on the second level, where the Great Room shares space with the gourmet kitchen and dining room and separates the east and west wings, each offering two bedrooms - three equal king bedroom suites and a double-twin bedroom, all with the ocean views. A large glass wall opens to a palm-fringed vista of the sea and the infinity-edge pool and deck below. The west wing also features a fully-outfitted office/den with TV and a daybed.

A ship's ladder takes you up on a short vertical climb up to a small aerie, a getaway room with a half bath and its own private deck with amazing ocean views. Below, the main sun deck offers a shaded "view" bar and cushioned teak patio furnishings, all looking out to sea past the sparkling pool. An upper pool deck takes you to the built-in heated spa, or steps down to a shallow shelf built into the pool itself; this deck serves as an alfresco dining area with gas grill, made sumptuous by its built-in lounge and softened by plump cushions.

A green lawn with tropical blooms shares the waterfront with the white sand strand of beach - unwind with the waterfall cascading from the pool wall into a natural stone trough below. Entertain and relax with family and friends, and build great holiday memories together at this unexcelled five-star beachfront retreat.

Amenities include 6 Cable TVs (including a 37-inch flat screen TV in the Great Room), DVD/CD player, radio, portable iPod docking station with speakers, movie + music collections, books, games, A/C in Great Room + in all 4 bedrooms (but not up in the aerie), computer with DSL line, printer, fax machine, answering machine, 3 safes for valuables, hair dryers, villa bathrobes, wet bar + mini-fridge in outdoor bar, gas grill, assorted snorkel gear, bocce ball set, Mist-Away Mosquito system, electronic entry gate, automatic generator, trash collection twice per week, dishwasher, laundry.
