About this villa rental

Designed by famous local architect Glen Speer and now transformed by famous artist Donald Schnell, known for his comfortable artistic villas with style. Come and see the artist's touch added to this tropical garden paradise. An eight person fine Italian marble stone table and Italian stone tile & statuettes coupled with local island stonework create a unique European & Caribbean atmosphere. The Great Cruz Bay location (see our maps page) offers convenience to shopping, groceries, restaurants and National Park beaches, yet the villa offers unique privacy with the surrounding tropical trees and fauna.

The Beach Estate's pool overlooks Great Cruz Bay and the blue Caribbean Sea of Pillsbury Sound. Deep & luxurious, the pool area is augmented by sconces from the Donald Schnell Studio and edged with Italian marble stone and is just steps away from the property's sandy beach. Island stone planters nurture blooming hibiscus, bougainvillea & other tropical flowers. Snorkeling along the point reveals a variety of fish and an occasional lobster or sea turtle while local White Herons frequent the shoreline.

The "Four Seasons" Italian statues watch over the island stone hot tub and pool area. Italian planters with native island palms and colorful bougainvillea surround you in this peaceful & private island retreat.

The island's spectacular sunsets, views of the blue Caribbean Sea and the night time lights of St. Thomas are all visible from the spacious decks perched on the hill overlooking the tropical gardens and the beach. Island stone pathways weave steps through the garden, home of the endangered species Iguana (harmless fruit & flower eaters), to the sandy beach area. The Beach Estate's pool area offers an additional space for wedding events and other celebration gatherings

Now with five, King master bedroom suites each with a private bath, the villa is perfect for a honeymoon or anniversary couple, five couples or a family with older children. Every bedroom has a an extension phone and satellite television. Two of the bedrooms, and the secondary living space downstairs, have an additional twin bed. (Please be sure the Beach Estate's Caribbean open air design is appropriate for your children's age and family's configuration). The newly completed fourth master bedroom suite & bathroom features sconces from our studio along with island stone & brick accents with Italian travertine floor tile and counter tops.

An eight person fine Italian marble stone table looks down on the private sandy beach area and blossoming bougainvillea.

The upstairs open & breezy living area provides a traditional Caribbean atmosphere and is complemented by the enclosed, secondary living space downstairs. Both offer CD player & access to satellite television.

By night the Estate is magically lit by the handcrafted sconces created by the Donald Schnell Studio. The pool beckons guests to a midnight swim under the stars & the beach area offers an enchanting view of the twinkling night time lights of St. Thomas.

We had an amazing time staying at the Beach Estate. We had a family of 9 and with 5 master suites we felt we had our own private space. We have traveled a lot over the years and the whole family agreed this was the most amazing experience we have had. We explored so many amazing beaches and loved them all but if you are up for a light walk you have to get over to Leinster Bay the snorkeling is amazing! We definitely plan to return again very soon. Thank you Donald for all of your tips and taking care of all of our needs!

Our group had a great time staying at Donald’s villa. It was fully stocked with everything we could need and was also very spacious and clean. Great location to get to Cruz Bay and the beaches. Thank you!

I've never stayed at a property with such care and attention given to the guests at every step of the visit. Donald, his wife, and his team supporting his properties are top notch. From making it effortless to meet us at the docks, get to our vehicles, and get in the home - to teaching me how to saber champagne, and the chaos that was our check out process. The team was great, very welcoming, addressed our every need (even including changing out a mattress for my 60 y/o mom). We all loved the property, the proximity to the town is something we've grown used to in prior properties, but the scale, individual bedrooms with their own showers, the spacious shared living space, it all was fantastic. Thank you Donald - we will be reaching out to you for our next visit!

Our family of eleven thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beach Estate. The artistic flair of the house really added to our experience. We loved the views, and that we were able to walk right out into the water from the house. Having a private beach was amazing. The house is roomy and had plenty of amenities, like beach towels, and reef safe sunblock. Our hosts were very responsive and a delight.

This was the perfect house for our large family. We loved the quirky details and the fact that it reminded us of a castle. The house provided us with everything that we needed including beach chairs. The rooms were spacious and had air conditioning and everyone had their own bed! No couches or pullouts necessary. A big thank you to Donald! He made us feel so welcome and taught my husband to saber a champagne bottle! Hope to stay again in the future!

We loved our stay with our 12 family members and Donald was an excellent host! The property was so unique with all of his art and handmade lighting fixtures and the AC in each bedroom was nice and cold, and we had all the comforts of home, and the two fridges was nice for our big family. The open air living room was quite hot during the summer season but Donald brought us a few fans to try and make it more comfortable. We knew that the living room may be warm when booking but wanted to have beach access since most homes in St John do not. This was a perfect trade off! We rented cars from Donald with ease as well. Such a great vacation!
