Location: Located along St. John’s famed north shore, Anole is a true gem, elevated 600 feet above the sparkling waters and pristine sands of Cinnamon Bay. Surrounded by the awe-inspiring natural beauty of St. John’s National Park, this exclusive neighborhood features distinctive villas, each radiating its own character. While you may have a friendly neighbor, Anole maintains an unparalleled sense of privacy, making it the ideal sanctuary for those seeking serenity away from the typical tourist hustle. Indulge in the stunning panoramic views of Tobago and Little Tobago Islands and other nearby paradises adrift in the turquoise sea. With Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay being a short drive away, you can enjoy a plethora of activities such as swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and basking in the sun. Located just a 15-minute drive from Cruz Bay, Anole adds an element of adventure with a scenic yet bumpy dirt road leading to this peaceful enclave. To truly embrace this hidden treasure, a 4-wheel drive rental vehicle is essential, as local taxi services do not venture into this tranquil area.
Living & Dining: The heart of Anole is its magnificent great room, defined by its soaring ceiling and exquisite stonework. A stunning wall of screened glass pocket doors invites you to soak in mesmerizing views from every corner. The spacious living area, furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan pieces, is equipped with cable TV, a stereo, and wireless internet, ensuring you stay connected while enjoying your getaway.
For your dining needs, the great room features a charming nook that comfortably seats 6-8, complemented by an additional dining table on the upper deck, perfect for al fresco meals.
Kitchen: The kitchen is a culinary delight, fully equipped with modern amenities—refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker—all while sharing the captivating views that make Anole unique. A convenient pantry and washer/dryer add to the ease of your stay, and don’t miss the gas grill on the upper deck for those unforgettable outdoor barbecues.
Bedrooms: All four bedrooms are thoughtfully oversized (305 sq/ft each), ensuring ultimate privacy and tranquility. The upper-level sanctuaries, each featuring a king bed, screened-in porch, and ensuite bath, serve as peaceful retreats. The two lower-level bedrooms, accessed via exterior stairs, provide flexible sleeping arrangements with twin beds that can easily convert into a king. Each room delights in its own 150 sq ft screened porch with charming wicker furniture, along with an ensuite bathroom featuring a tiled shower for added comfort.
