Coral Bay Vista was hand-crafted by award-winning artisans Doug White, who flew to Guatemala to hand-pick the trees to mill for the home, and Dave Carlson, and the home is truly a work of art. It is a gorgeous high-end studio made in the traditional Caribbean style from Guatemalan hardwoods and stone and seashell walls. It has expansive views of Coral Bay and beyond to the British Virgin Islands.
You’ll find the interior decorated with original art. There is also a Pottery Barn queen sleeper sofa that is very comfortable, allowing accommodations for four. The owner lives in a suite below the villa, and is available at a moment’s notice for advice on where to go and what to do.
The kitchen has beautiful mahogany cabinets and granite countertops, and you’ll find everything you need for cooking and fine dining indoors or out. Note that there is a gas cooktop in the kitchen, but no oven. There is also a high end outdoor kitchen with a DCS grill and a firepit on the patio. The villa is designed to capture the constant trade winds that cool the house, assuring you’ll be comfortable night and day. Enjoy a tropical drink or glass of wine on the covered deck and dine alfresco on the teak outdoor dining table. There are two chaises and seating on the deck and patio.
The bath has stone and seashell walls and an indoor shower, and you can also enjoy an outdoor shower with the water flowing from a conch shell.
We have all the amenities of home including Roku TV, wireless internet, and an ipod connected sound system, though we think you’ll prefer to listen to the bananaquits and chorus of treefrogs.
The gardens are home to mature banana, papaya and guavaberry trees and pineapples. The kitchen garden boasts native herbs including thyme, oregano and rosemary.
The wonderful restaurants and shops of Coral Bay are just 2 minutes down Costanza Road, rt. 108, and you can be at the renowned north shore beaches, Maho Bay, or the Annaberg Sugar Mill ruins in just ten minutes.
