Casa Del Sol is a gorgeous plantation style home that consists of a majestic 2-level main house that is flanked on both sides by a 2-level bedroom tower. The main house and the bedroom towers are connected by tiled decks and courtyards. The building materials and the design are traditional Caribbean, with native stone and antique brick, hand rubbed mahogany doors and windows, terra cotta tiled floors and beamed cathedral ceilings throughout. You park above the villa and descend tiled stairs to the upper level which houses the great room, two upper level bedrooms and courtyards, decks and balconies. The great room contains the interior living, and dining, areas, plus the kitchen.

The whirlpool tub, pool, wet bar, a fifth full bath and a covered deck and sun decks are also located on the lower level.

WHY WE RECOMMEND IT
This modern version of a Caribbean classic was meticulously built in 1998-99. From 1999 to 2010 Casa De Sol was owner occupied and lovingly cared for. In 2010 Casa Del Sol was sold, and the house became available for rent in December 2010. The high quality of construction and the excellent maintenance given this home has produced a home in very good, like new condition.

Some of the features that you will love include:

As a member of the Klein Bay Association, Casa Del Sol has access to the beach below you. This is a pebble beach that provides access to safe and enjoyable swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in the calm 82-84 degree, turquoise waters of Klein Bay (kayaks not provided, but can be rented in Cruz Bay);

The four bedrooms are very private with no common walls, and each with a covered balcony or deck, lovely views, custom granite and mahogany baths, and showers with a view;

The pool has stereo speakers on both ends, and a few steps away is a granite wet bar and refrigerator with another set of speakers and speaker controls. Both the pool and the roomy sun deck are bathed in sunshine from sunrise to late in the afternoon, and at night, starlight and moonbeams shimmer on the sea before you;

Same plan as above except the sun has set, and now the 6 person whirlpool tub is surrounded by 4 speakers and the music plays on, the wet bar and full bath are still a few steps away, and the night lighting and soothing trade winds are exquisite and v-e-r-y romantic;

For people who love to spend time outside, but not in the sun, Casa Del Sol's covered decks and balconies provide numerous places to relax, unwind, and enjoy the cooling trade winds and lovely views. The decks have a direct line of sight into the pool, so adults can relax nearby but still keep on eye on any kids in the pool;

Last but not least, this oversized lot provides a peaceful location with wonderful water views and enough privacy for a full body tan;

With its time-honored design features, plus comfortable furnishings, tasteful accessories, and superb and location, Casa Del Sol makes a great vacation home for families and couples.
