Love City Hideaway
My wife and I have been relocating for our summers and Christmas holidays for over ten years now: this is by far the best place we have stayed in. Calicaribe is beautifully situated, designed, and decorated, and it’s extremely comfortable.
The villa is located on a hillside in such a way that you have both tree-shaded privacy and expansive views of Pillsbury Sound with its many islands as well as the hillsides of Cruz Bay. Choose to sit with your coffee on the shaded veranda or read by the sun-splashed pool gazing out over the water.
The house itself is very nicely designed. The living spaces are centered around the pool and the terrace. The three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are well situated to provided maximum privacy, and each has it’s unique charms and views.
The open plan living room and kitchen are bright, cheerful, and comfortably well-furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare basic meals.
The villa is about a minute from either the Starfish Market or the Dolphin Market. Both have anything you could want or need in terms of snacks and groceries, and an amazing collection of alcohol and wines at any price point.
Walking into town is a fairly easy ten-minute stroll. The walk back is a challenge when you hit the final hills headed up to the villa. We’re both runners and we found the town forbidding because of the steep hills and lack of shoulder space on the roads. However, we were surprised by how much we enjoyed the pool. We used it every day.
