Caribbean Villa With a View: Finding Heaven in St John

By: - August 4th, 2013

ST JOHN is the natural wonder of the United States Virgin Islands, and if you’re lucky, you can find a place to perch and take in the vistas.

While the island has a number of beautiful hotels, it’s got even more beautiful villas, like thisthree-bedroom, three-bathroom property in the Coral Bay area.

This Villas of Distinction property has got everything: a 42-foot pool, a hot tub, wi-fi and even a collection of works by celebrated local artist Shari Erickson.

But, as is the case with villas like this, you’ll likely be spending most of your time on the chaise lounges on the upper-floor deck.

It’s called “Almost Heaven,” but you’ll feel like you’re already there.

Enjoy the view.
