Edge of Paradise is designed to be a family-friendly getaway destination. The villa has four spacious bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, and will comfortably accommodate ten people . The furnishings and artwork are reflective of a beach house decor, and the beds and mattresses are top quality. The master suite is quite sizable, extending across the entire length of the home, and offers its most stunning ocean view. The master bath is luxurious and charming. Behind the master bedroom is a second bedroom with its ownbathroom, furnished with three twin beds so that families with children can have their kids be nearby. This second bedroom also has an ocean view via an attached balcony, and a door for passage to a lovely courtyard. Versatility is prioritized, as the master bedroom also has a sitting area with a sofa-bed that can be opened for small children, and two upscale roll out beds a closet away. The downstairs bedroom suite, which is quite spacious and has a king bed and a matching twin, has an attached porch that is closer to the ocean than any other room. The detached cottage suite, which has a queen bed, is similarly very private and inviting, and also provides ocean views. The bathroom in the former featurestilework, while the latter emphasizes stone.
The villa has a gourmet kitchen and an especially large farmhouse dining table to assure a large group can comfortably share meals together. A spacious pantry attaches to the kitchen, and is equipped with useful cooking appliances and tools. Two large refrigerators allow guests the opportunity to stock up on food and drink supplies for their entire stay with one trip to the grocery store. Alternatively, our guests can have the refrigerators filled with their choice of supplies immediately prior to arrival, for a small concierge fee. Either way, the intent is to allow our guest families to spend the most time relaxing, recreating and recharging, and the least time driving about.
The great room has a panoramic view of the ocean and multiple french doors that allow inside and outside to mesh smoothly. A collection of DVDs and Netflix are available for indoor entertainment on the large flatscreen tv. An Ipod dock allows our guests to play music of their choice over the sound system. Wifi is available and cellphone reception is good for all carriers our guests have used (ATT, Virgin Mobile, and Verizon).
Just outside the kitchen is a charming oudoor kitchen which sits beneath a trellised pergola. This secondary kitchen includes a coral stone dining table and a spectacular and versatile pizza oven. Made of native island fieldstone, this oven is powered by either firewood or propane. The outdoor kitchen also features a new stainless gourmet grill. Made by Lion, this imported grill has won accolades amongst barbeque connoisseurs for its design, and offers interior lighting for evening grilling.
Edge of Paradise sits on the west side of Magen's Bay. The villa is the most proximate residence to Magen’s Bay Beach on the western shore, just a short kayak paddle away (approximately half a mile. Yet, because a dense tropical forest and a rugged rocky shoreline span between our villa and that beach, we are exquisitely secluded. This is just one reason why we believe our location is ideal. In addition, we appreciate that the waters of the bay are calmer and more protected than any others on the Island. This tends to make the water clearer and safer for swimming and snorkeling, especially important when kids are involved. Thirdly, we cherish the beautiful coral reef that thrives along the western side of the bay. This reef is quite isolated and not readily accessible to beach tourists, and so it remains pristine. No other reef exists in the bay; the rest of the bay is predominantly sandy. It is quite uncommon to have a secluded spot where adults and kids can wade out into an ocean that has a colorful and fascinating reef right there to explore, in clear Caribbean waters that deepen very gradually.
The villa is extremely secluded and private and does require a drive down a rough Mountain Road to reach it. 4 wheel drive vehicles are required.
Why Edge of Paradise Is the Best St. Thomas Villa for Large Groups
Edge of Paradise is the best St. Thomas villa for large groups. The house sleeps ten across four bedroom suites, including a master that runs the length of the home and a second bedroom with three twin beds, so everyone has their own private bathroom and flexible sleeping options. Mornings feel communal and casual: natural light spills across a farmhouse dining table that seats twelve, while two large refrigerators and a roomy pantry let a big party stock up and plan multi-course meals without running back and forth.
Outside the layout makes group life effortless; the great room's multiple French doors open onto broad terraces where people drift from coffee to conversation. A detached cottage gives a quieter corner for late sleepers, and on logistics the property's provisioning options and attentive staff keep meal service and errands to a minimum, freeing the group to stay together and relax.
Why You'll Love It:
Guests repeatedly single out the waterfront setting and easy access to marine life as the stay's defining quality. The first thing many notice is the constant blue beyond the decks and the way ocean life shows up while you sip coffee; after a few days reviewers move from admiration to action, using the provided gear to explore the reef, launch for a beach paddle, and take daily swims. Nights are a different rhythm, slow dinners, grilling and pizza nights, and long deck conversations under the stars, and several guests say they'd return with the same group rather than look elsewhere
- Infinity pool and hot tub on the bay-facing deck
- Private staircase to pebble beach and easy water access
- Kayaks provided with an easy paddle to Magen's Bay beach
