Cruz Bay In Town Estate Villa / 300 ° Views / Piscina Privada / Walk to Town & Beach

Located in the town of Cruz Bay and accessible through a driveway gate, Tropical Panorama is situated 90 feet above sea level with almost 5,200 square feet of indoor and outdoor livable space, providing a view of Cruz Bay and its surrounding islands. Designed to enable residents to truly experience indoor/outdoor living, Tropical Panorama’s professionally decorated interior is very spacious with just over 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space, while the outdoor lanai with its additional seating and dining area as well as a summer kitchen fully complement the stunning views and the impressive private pool. Visitors will enjoy creating lasting memories at this private and quiet home that offers plenty of off-street private parking and yet is located only a short, downhill walk from Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, ferry, and shops. BACKUP Electric System - No Power Outages!

Tropical Panorama is positioned on a large hilltop parcel with lots of vegetation. Because of its hilltop location, the ground-level, front entrance opens onto the top floor, consisting of a half bath and a great room offering a seating area and a large dining table, as well as an open kitchen with barstool seating along a spacious island countertop. The seating area is well appointed with a 65" Samsung 4K HD TV with HD YouTube TV/DVR service, a 4K Blu-ray DVD player, and a multi-point seamless Wi-Fi system, STARLINK High speed internet connection. The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary needs (dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, and pans) and includes a full-size refrigerator, an electric range, a convection oven, a convection microwave, a dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker.

The interior living spaces on the top floor are cooled by air conditioning that you control, or simply open either of the glass sliding doors that span 35 feet and form two adjoining sides of the great room and allow the tropical breezes to pass through. On this level beyond the sliding doors, there is a large, open, but fully covered, veranda or lanai providing an additional sitting and dining area with a complete summer kitchen (Coyote gas grill, refrigerator, icemaker, and sink). The lanai offers the best spot in the whole house to spend hours reading a book or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, listening to your choice of music via the indoor-outdoor Bluetooth 4-zone speaker system. Beyond the lanai is a large cantilevered patio or deck adjoining the pool and overlooking Pillsbury Sound. Bordering the deck are two private principal bedroom suites, each with a king-sized bed (Sleep Number mattress) and an en suite bathroom.

A stairwell located off the lanai leads to the lower-level hallway spanning the width of the house, with a lockable barn door at the foot of the stairwell opening to the outside. This hallway provides access to the three lower-level bedrooms and their en suite bathrooms. The two lower-level principal suites are furnished with king-sized beds and have exterior sliding doors providing a view of tropical landscaping, while the lower-level interior bedroom is furnished with a king bed and double-over-double bunk bed that has a trundle single mattress under it.

The king-sized bed in one of the lower-level principal suites features a Sleep Number mattress while the other lower-level principal suite offers a TempurPedic mattress. Split-wall unit air conditioners permit dehumidified, cooled air comfort within all five bedrooms. The décor in each of the four principal bedrooms is modern and upscale. The fifth interior bedroom and its private bathroom is ideal for a 5th couple or guests traveling with children as this room can sleep up to 6 children or a few adults. (The top bunk is really only appropriate for children or small teens.)

Parents traveling with young children should be aware that each of the three downstairs bedrooms offers an independent entrance to the shared hallway with doors that can be locked from the inside and outside, while the two upstairs bedrooms each have lockable sliding doors that open onto the pool deck. Also, there is no barrier between the pool, the lanai, and the deck. There is a security camera system around the perimeter of the house that you can turn on at any time to view the security feed. (Cameras do not film either the interior of the house or the lanai, deck, and pool areas.) We want your stay to be nothing less than fabulous. For this reason, we want to share as much as possible about Tropical Panorama, enabling you to decide if it is a good fit for you and your vacation needs.

Tropical Panorama offers an incredibly prime location – a short walk down the hill to Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, and shops (and only 0.4 mile from the house to the ferry). Perhaps more importantly, you only need to walk home after visiting the many famous Cruz Bay bars. There is no need for a taxi, as you are right next to where all the action is happening, but far enough away that you do not have to be around the action when you want peace and privacy.

Tropical Panorama will easily host corporate events as the top floor offers large common spaces with amazing views. (An additional fee and deposit will apply.) Please, no wedding groups. Feel free to check out the webcam for a live image of the view.
