Skyway

Skyway, a new 5 bedroom, 5 bath, beautifully landscaped home on Gifft Hill offers both privacy and convenience to Cruz Bay and the north shore beaches.

As the sun sets before you at dusk, the heavenly show begins. A virtual planetarium unfolds each evening overhead. Quote from a guest: "This house certainly has a picture post card view." The 180 degree view includes St. Croix to the south, Pillsbury Sound, St Thomas and surrounding islands to the west and north. Puerto Rico, Culebra and Vieques are also in the western view. Considered the best sunset view on the island."

Skyway With over 2000 square feet of open patio, Skyway offers true spaciousness. The large pool is 24' x 13' and 4' to 8' deep. In addition to gentle entry steps into the pool, there is a seating ledge along one side for a relaxing soak.

A Sundance Spa is located on the far deck with an even more breathtaking view!

Skyway There is no chlorine used in Skyway's fresh water pool with the NaCl system, a process in which salt is converted through ionization.
No odor or feel of chlorine.

The pool deck tiled barbeque area includes a fridge with ice maker, double sinks, and a large Lynx barbeque / rotisserie. Here, guests have two dining options, one on either side of the barbeque area. Just steps from the kitchen and great room are the convenient wet bar / barbeque and two of the three outdoor dining areas.

The other al fresco dining area is off the kitchen on the northern side. A perfect spot for those who desire a break from the sun in the afternoon, tradewind breezes are cooling in this shaded garden area.
Skyway has over 1000 square feet of covered deck.

Preparing meals at Skyway does not take you away from being part of the party. The kitchen is open to the living room and dining room. Keep the chef company relaxing at the granite bar. The modern kitchen with granite counters includes an island with gas stove top. Stainless steel electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and the usual small kitchen appliances complete the area.  

The breezeway and cocktail area is shaded from the afternoon sun and overlooks the western tip of St. John, Pillsbury Sound, St. Thomas, and in the distance, Puerto Rico, Vieques and Culebra. Skyway has Sirius satellite radio playing through indoor and outdoor Bose speakers. Skyway
Skyway The air conditioned queen master bedroom and en-suite bath with bidet are on the main level. The screened, sliding glass doors open to the deck. There are full blinds for privacy. The fourth queen bedroom on the main level is perfect for children. The bath is just a couple of steps outside, which also makes it a perfect pool deck bathroom.

Parking for guests who like the freedom of having multiple rental cars is not a problem. The stamped upper driveway accommodates parking for four vehicles, and the lower level driveway ends at the two car parking space.

The site for Skyway was chosen 37 years ago when any location on St. John was available. It is the highest point on the westerly side of the island with panoramic views of St. Thomas, St. Croix, Vieques, Culebra and Pillsbury Sound.

Skyway
Skyway Downstairs on the lower level is a queen bedroom apartment with a small kitchen, living and dining areas, bath and two private decks. There is also a day bed in the living room perfect for a child or single adult. The apartment also has its own entertainment center.
