• 1 king (master suite) + 3 queens. In children's suite: 4 twins (OR 2 kings, your choice) + single fold-out bed for a child under 12 years

After an extensive two-year renovation, stunningly beautiful Villa Gisela now emerges ready for vacation rentals to families and friends. Just a few minutes' drive from famous Magens Bay Beach, this fully air-conditioned, five-bedroom contemporary luxury villa showcases sleek and clean modern design inside, with surrounding green lawns and lush tropical landscaping overlooking aquamarine ocean views outside.

A two-car garage is for guests' convenience; walk from your cars directly into Villa Gisela's expansive Great Room (the tiled garage can also be used to stage lively ping-pong matches!) The bi-level Great Room features a spacious, elegant living area with all media, a well-equipped gourmet kitchen, and a dining area for up to 10 persons. Doors open out from the living area to a curved deck with pool and chaise lounges overlooking the sea and islands in the distance.

On the other side, just off the kitchen and dining area, another inviting deck is perfect for grilling and for cocktails at sunset. Two equal-sized queen bedrooms on this level share a bath. A staircase leads up to Villa Gisela's mezzanine level, where french doors lead out to the hot tub deck and to more ocean views.

The staircase continues up to the king master suite, a generous space with its own private balcony overlooking the grandeur of Magens Bay; this suite encompasses a large master bath with a jacuzzi bathtub and separate glass-block shower. Also on this level, next to the master suite, is a third queen bedroom and bath.

On Villa Gisela's lower level is the children's suite, so perfect for small children with a nanny or a grandparent. Four twin beds (which can alternatively be made up as two king beds, with advance notice) and a twin fold-out bed share space with a full bath, and features shelves full of children's DVDs, videos, books, toys and games, and a 41-inch flat-screen TV with cable.

An alcove on this level also offers a fax machine and a DSL line ready for your laptop, in case you must work while on vacation! Sliding glass doors open from the children's suite outside to the garden and to inviting grass lawns.

All of Villa Gisela's bedrooms have cable TV, DVD players, VCRs and telephones, and the villa is pleasingly furnished with crisp, contemporary flair and accented by colorful graphic art.

This large and beautifully-done and well equipped villa, located in an upscale residential neighborhood very near the best beach on St. Thomas, offers a wonderful location for a family get-together or for friends on vacation. Please book early to get the holiday dates you want!
