Located next door to the main St John Villa of Great Expectations, the Guest House ("Beau Geste") offers 2 additional bedrooms which may be rented along with the 5 bedrooms in the Main Villa. Or, if the guests whom have rented the Villa do not need to use the Guest House, it may be available to rent by itself.
The Guest House is just a short walk (25 yards) along a lighted path from the Villa; however, Beau Geste has its own separate parking area, entrance, and lots of beautiful landscaping so your privacy is assured.
Beau Geste also has its own swimming pool and hot tub, and, of course, outdoor furniture, hammocks, and the same great sunrise and sunset views as the Villa!
The sleeping configurations in Beau Geste consist of:
-the top floor Owner's Suite (up to 3 people)
-the Guest Bedroom (up to 4 persons)
The top floor of the Guest House consists of the 'Owner's Suite'. This is a very large (20' by 24'), air-conditioned efficiency studio the size of the Great Room in the Villa. It has a Queen-size four poster bed with a spectacular Caribbean view. The living area has a futon which opens into a full size bed.
The Owner's Suite is equipped with WiFi, flat-screen cable TV and DVD player, an AM/FM stereo with CD player, MP3/IPod cable, and built-in wall speakers, and telephone with answering machine. It has its own bathroom (with bidet), double sink vanity and indoor/outdoor shower. It has a full gourmet kitchen (refrigerator with automatic icemaker, super quiet dishwasher, self-cleaning oven with halogen stovetop), front-loading washer and dryer, ceiling fan, cathedral ceiling with skylights and sofit lighting. It has outdoor decks on both the east and west sides and a stainless steel gas BBQ grill. It has a recumbent exercise bicycle.
You will find views both to the east (did we tell you that you can lie in bed and watch the sun come up out of the Caribbean Sea!) and to the west overlooking Chocolate Hole harbor. One of my favorite views is looking west beyond Chocolate Hole through the saddle into Pillsbury Sound. This is the body of water between St Thomas and St John. I love to lie in the hammock watching the ferries, barges, and sailboats go back and forth.
The first floor bedroom in the Guest House is the same size (20' by 12') as the 4 bedrooms in the Villa. Like the other Villa bedrooms, this bedroom has a ceiling fan and is air-conditioned and has a private bathroom with a double sink vanity and an indoor/outdoor shower (it also has a small Caribbean stone bath tub). The Guest Bedroom is furnished with a Queen-size bed and two futons (one futon opens into a full size bed and the other into a twin size bed). This room has a flat screen television with DVD player, coffee maker, and small refrigerator.
Please note that the 2 floors in the Guest House are on separate floors and accessed by an outside staircase so that we do not recommend children 12 or younger sleep in the downstairs bedroom by themselves.
