Presidio del Mar sits on its own promontory on St. John''s leeward coast where the sky meets the Caribbean sea, a commanding and timeless presence which blends with the elements in perfect harmony. Several years in its creation and completed in late 2008, this impressive estate is beautifully rendered with every attention to detail throughout, integrating grace and comfort with elegant custom features, melding polished formal elements with a casual, low-maintenance island attitude.

Privileged guests can relax, completely at ease within the grandeur of this superb six-bedroom villa, in its own realm within one and a half lushly-landscaped acres, secluded behind electronic gates. Presidio del Mar''s main pavilion is distinguished by its grand entry foyer, a vaulted rotunda which frames a classic postcard view of blue ocean fringed by palms.

This grand, fully air-conditioned pavilion is the heart of the property, featuring several exterior terraces on two levels cooled by tropical sea breezes, a heated pool (daytime only not at night) and hot tub, and two wet bars on covered patios with sink-into seating, perfect for a lazy afternoon of reading or for convivial conversation and cocktails. Inside, this elegant home showcases creative design always oriented to the sea outside; rooms are connected by hallways which look out to blue ocean and sky.

The Great Room is a plush haven. It shares space with the impressive gourmet kitchen, reined over by a massive bronze chandelier, and a dining nook in its own rounded turret of arched windows overlooking shimmering Peter Bay. Just outside the kitchen area is a covered terrace with the main level''s wet bar and an alfresco living area, and on the other side, a pergola''ed alfresco dining area with a gas grill, guarded by bronze lions tucked into the beautiful gardens.

Back inside is Presidio''s formal dining room, an elegant onyx powder room, a completely equipped private office, and a Club Room with French doors which open to an outdoor covered patio with a pool table and twin hammocks beyond. The main pavilion also houses the Maho Suite, the expansive king master suite encompassing a large bath with custom mahogany cabinetry, double vanities, a dressing room, a claw-foot bathtub, a tiled shower and an alfresco shower with a serene view as well. The hushed, private world of the Maho Suite provides roomy seclusion surrounded by subtle opulence. Adjoining the Maho Suite is a small patio for private moments; a short walkway leads to the pool and hot tub.

On the main pavilion''s lower level is Presidio''s pool and hot tub, flanked by a second wet bar on a terrace set with tables and chairs and perched almost over the water. This bar has a kitchenette behind the scenes, and is the perfect spot for lunch between shopping in Cruz Bay and snorkeling, or evening libations.

Beyond is the Jumbie Suite, a king bedroom/bath suite and next door to Jumbie is the Workout Room, flanked by a powder room and an outside shower. Stone stairs descend to a sanded pathway threading through flowering gardens to the gated and paved stone staircase down to the white sands of Peter Bay Beach, just 200 feet beyond - take a walk along the sugar-white sands and beach comb, have a refreshing swim, or snorkel the colorful live coral reefs just off Presidio. Alongside the main house are two separate air-conditioned bedroom/bath pavilions, Cinnamon Suite and Waterlemon Suite, offering two equal-sized king master suites done with restrained elegance. Both suites boast inspiring sea views from either their indoor sitting areas or from their private verandahs, a choice of an artfully-tiled indoor shower or an alfresco shower enclosed in a bower of tropical plantings, and a mini-fridge and coffee service.

Across the central cobblestone courtyard are the estates two other Suites, elevated on a rise to provide amazing views across the bays and National Park beaches to the British Virgin Islands. Stone stairs ascend to the pavilion housing Hawksnest Suite. Hawksnest Suite features an indoor and an outdoor shower overlooking the ocean and St. Thomas in the distance. Another staircase curves up to the top of Hawknest''s pavilion and to the parapet, a rooftop aerie surveying sweeping panoramas of Presidio''s expanse and beyond to the U.S. and British Virgins. Across a courtyard is the Mongoose Suite, a complete air-conditioned apartment suite in its own pavilion, with a full kitchen, living area and a plush king bedroom.

Presidio Del Mar is sumptuous in every detail, steeped in quality throughout. Craftsman-quality custom tile work and classic St. John shell-and stonework anchor this substantial property, and vivid bougainvillea provides lively color play throughout the grounds. Presidio del Mar is truly the jewel of St. John''s North Shore, an ultra-private preserve situated in a once-in-a-lifetime location within St. John''s National Park in exclusive Peter Bay. For luxury travelers looking for a five-star plus vacation experience in an unparalleled location, with a bounty of amenities, comfort and attentive service, Presidio del Mar is truly one of the finest residences to be found in the Caribbean
