Great Expectations has a new pool (and bedroom)!
In addition to a new pool (and great new pool patio) overlooking the sunset and Chocolate Hole harbor to the west, we have also added an 8th bedroom with its own beautiful bathroom. This bedroom is incredibly versiitle in that it adjoins the first floor bedroom at Beau Geste, the Guest House of Great Expectations, and consequently can serve as a connecting bedroom for parents who would like to have their children close, but also want some privacy (it is a vacation afterall!).
with its own full bathroom
The Sun Room can be used as a bedroom (with beds configured as two Twin beds or a King bed) or as a sitting room with a Day bed
November St John news flashes & fun St John clips:
- Read what Caribbean Magazine reports as the best snorkeling beaches on St John or, come see for your yourself, what we think is THE Best Snorkeling area on the island, Chocolate Hole harbor, just a 5 minute walk from our St John villa! Chocolate Hole harbor is also the site of the only salt pond --formed during hurricanes when the ocean gets trapped in-land -- allowed by the government to be dredged to keep it open to the sea. As a result lots of interesting fish and turtles congregate in Chocolate Hole harbor to feed on the crustaceans which grow in the salt pond and escape to the ocean only to become dinner for some fish or turtle. You cannot get any better snorkeling anywhere than right here!
- St John will be alive with great music this coming season! In addition to the live music you will find nightly at many Cruz and Coral Bay restaurants (and bars), this season the St John School of the Arts is hosting the Sis Frank Concert Series in honor of the late Sis Frank who co-founded the School of the Arts. A series of four performances, by world class performers, will be held from early January to mid-April. You will be treated to classical, jazz, improv, and chamber music. What a treat!
- The Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park Annual Auction starts on November 16th. Support the Friends great work by contributing an item or bidding on one. In years past there have been wonderful items ranging from works of original art, vacation rentals (both on St John and elsewhere), boat charters, and catered meals. You can bid on-line. Check back often for they continually add new items.
- Beau Geste, the Guest House of Great Expectations, is currently available for Thanksgiving week. Beau Geste has 3 bedrooms, including a connecting bedroom, swimming pool and hot tub, and, of course, fabulous Caribbean views. Call today to enjoy your turkey dinner in a bathing suit!
