Your Private Paradise on St. John’s Beautiful Bordeaux Mountain Welcome to Descent into Crescendo! Managed by SeaToPeakSTJ Escape to this enchanting, one-room cottage perched high on Bordeaux Mountain, where sweeping million-dollar views of the Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, and the iconic Hurricane Hole will take your breath away. Perfectly designed for two, this is the ultimate romantic getaway for couples who crave privacy, peace, and authentic island beauty. Why You’ll Love It Here: Descend the rewarding 74 steps to your secluded sanctuary—yes, the trek is real, but so is the view. Every step through the lush tropical canopy leads you closer to a spectacular, unobstructed panorama that only a lucky few get to experience. The cottage is newly updated with a stylish bohemian vibe, thoughtfully equipped for comfort, and overflowing with extras like beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and coolers, so you can dive right into island adventures. Cozy & Complete: Though petite, this one-room cottage + bathroom is packed with charm and thoughtful touches to make your stay effortless and memorable. It’s ideal for couples seeking a quiet retreat where nature’s beauty is the main attraction. Prime Location: Tucked away on Bordeaux Mountain, you’re just 1 mile from Centerline Road, making it easy to explore all that St. John offers. Coral Bay is a quick 10-minute drive for delightful dining and local culture, while world-famous Maho Beach and the vibrant Cruz Bay are just 15 and 20 minutes away, respectively. What to Know Before You Book: \* The 74-step climb means we recommend packing light. \* This property is best suited for guests comfortable with stairs and seeking true privacy. \* The cottage is well stocked with beach essentials, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure. \* Wi-Fi is available, though cell service may be spotty—perfect for unplugging and reconnecting with nature. Your Private Island Escape Awaits: If you appreciate raw, untouched beauty and the feeling of being completely nestled in nature, this little slice of paradise will capture your heart. Whether you’re waking up to the gentle Caribbean breeze and a breathtaking sunrise, or sipping a cocktail on the outdoor patio as the stars begin to twinkle, every moment here feels like a gift. Book your stay now and experience St. John from a perspective few get to see—where privacy meets paradise, and every view is a crescendo. Please note that we have one NEST camera facing the stairway down to the home. This camera records movement, but not sound.
