Sunsets w/killer views. Villa Recs please

Post by ski2play »

Hi all, Woot Woot, Husband says "book it Danno". His very short wish list

1) Sunset views
2) Killer views
3) Private Pool

Anywhere on the island, We have stayed at Gallows Point, and Over the Rainbow on previous visits. Thinking about the East End or Coral Bay, but want to be sure of sunset views from the villa. Oh this man, love him! Hopefully, this will be the trip when we can finally secure a property to buy. Fingers crossed. Now you go, villa recs please that hit all of his items on the "wish list"

No sunsets with Coral Bay or East end. Try Gift hill villas as a start.

Sol inclination meets the wish list, but it's in fish bay. I'm talking KILLER views and you can enjoy both sunrise and sunsets. Google it...plus it's for sale!

Happy planning!

Nancy, that is my thoughts exactly. Silly, Silly man.

Sol Inclination looks sweet, and not opposed to Fish Bay, both house we have looked at to purchase are in Fish Bay, great area. Pretty big for just the two of us.

Thanks for the recs so far.

We've stayed on island about 10 times and hands down best views for sunset was at Skyway. Incredible. The villa is beautiful but not conducive for younger kids. Staying at Starstruck down the road next time as we need a property with interior access to bedrooms for kids this time.

The outdoor area and pool are fantastic too! Loved hanging out there any time of day.

Jay (owner) is super nice. You can book through him directly or through Denise @online vacations.

Spellbound in Susannaberg and Vistaero on Gift Hill in October-November. Villa Capiz, Villa Ellison and most of the other villas on Gift Hill. I do second Sol Inclination. You will get nothing but beautiful colored sky from the North Shore Villas up in Catherineberg. I would guess Prerelandra. I also seem to recall great sunset pics from Idyllic and Kenny's house just above Jazz Villa so Jazz might do the trick. Bet they are great from Argonauta. Spellbound and Vistaero have Huuuge pools!

Good suggestions, ones I had not looked at.

Price range is under $3,000 for the week.

H and I talked last night and he said he would give up the sunsets for a killer view and pool. His logic, we can always catch great sunsets via, a hike, bar, etc.

If you want Coral Bay, you might look at Orion's Hill. Sunset from the Widows walk on the top of the villa. Sunrises from the porches and decks. Killer pool. No salt, no clorine... Reverse osmosis!!! It is roomy and comfortable! Decorations are old school, but very comfortable.

HummingBird Hill...Coconuts...Villa del Sol...CocoCruz....Vida de Mar. Can't go wrong with any of these depending on your budget and size of your party.

Here are a few samples of some videos we produced;

Since sunset is not necessary , Reef Madness is number one pick from me in Coral Bay! I also like Amarillo Villa ! More mid island but a beautiful view is Casa Beuno! All beautiful views! I am happy to tell you why I like each ,,
