Stonegarden Cottage nestles within a shady, tropical forest, high up
the steep slopes of St. John's Bordeaux Mountain. At the foot of the
mountain lies picturesque Coral Bay harbor; beyond unfolds a panorama
of peninsulas, islands, beaches and glowing turquoise channels that
run east as far as Virgin Gorda and the Anegada Passage. This is the
view Islands Magazine chose as the top spot in the world to watch the
sunrise of the new millennium.

Onsite Nature Trails: The best of St. John's natural beauty and
astonishing biodiversity lies on-site at your doorstep. A trellised
archway of hanging tropical flowers greets you as you enter and walk
down a short stone stairway to the front door. The large (2/3 acre)
hillside property is an ecological wonderland that invites wandering
-- beautiful hand-crafted stone paths and trails on several different
levels lead you through the lush hardwood foliage of Guavaberry
Woods,
where picturesque and unique ponds and gardens of orchids,
frangipani,
hibiscus and bouganvilla delight the eye.

Cool Retreat: Steady tradewinds, an easterly view and the lush
surrounding forest make Stonegarden Cottage a comfortable tropical
getaway year-round -- cool, quiet and peaceful. After a day on
blazing
white sand beaches or out on the glittering sea, it is delightful to
return up the mountain to your forest retreat, savor a frozen drink
while enjoying the view or gaze into a lily pond while hearing the
breeze rustle the treetops.

Accomodation Options: Stonegarden Cottage offers the privacy and
views
of a villa at the cost of a cottage. The upper and lower levels can
be
rented together or separately, accommodating up to six guests. The
two
levels are connected by a gated outside staircase, with separate
parking and access for privacy -- both are detailed further below:

The Upper Level: The Master bedroom with queen-sized bed and private
bath has an expansive island view. The enclosed Caribbean "garden
shower" blends traditional stonework with the tropical environment.
The fully-equipped, eat-in kitchen opens out onto the deck where one
can dine or just relax while watching the boats on Coral Bay Harbor
and enjoying one of the most beautiful views in all the Caribbean,
with an ever-changing light show of turquoise water and sun-drenched
islands. The living room offers sleeping accommodations for two
adults
or children on the comfortable full size sofa-bed, and has a separate
full bath complete with garden shower and ample closet space.
Walkways
from the front door connect into the stone paths and trails of
Guavaberry Woods.

The Lower Level: For a couple looking for a combination of
affordability and comfort, Stonegarden Cottage's downstairs unit is a
perfect choice. Private and quiet, this charming apartment with
stained-glass windows and beautiful views to the harbor is equipped
with a fully stocked kitchenette -- 4-burner range with oven,
microwave, refrigerator, full size double-sink, and dining table and
chairs. Enjoy the comfortable amenities of a queen-sized bed, private
bath with shower, as well as a dining deck with mosaic bistro-table
and chairs, view and direct access to the trails of Guavaberry Woods.
The lower level has its own separate entrance, driveway, and parking
space.
