About this property

Architecturally Designed Villa in Paradise, Quiet Beach & Blue Water Views

LOCATION: Turtle Beach, St. Kitts, Caribbean. Turtle Beach is a 15-20 minute drive from the airport on a beautiful drive south over the mountains of the South East Peninsula, with Atlantic ocean on the left and the Caribbean Ocean on the right.

KEYWORDS: Villa, Ocean View, Infinity edge pool, a/c, quiet, 3 bedrooms, gourmet kitchen, spectacular views, 5-star feedback ratings.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Want to just kick back and relax? Our new, architecturally-designed home is called Seas-the-Moment. We often have found ourselves unable to leave the veranda from breakfast time until mid-afternoon. Some days we never left! We’d be reading, talking, eating, sleeping and playing games. The talking part was invariably about what we should do that morning for our activity. Sometimes we would walk the 100 yards down the hill to Turtle Beach and go snorkeling on the reef. If we went out to the left of the reef, we would invariably see two to three green turtles (most likely the reason this quiet bay got its name). If we felt really energetic, we’d jump in the car and drive 5 minutes to Sandy Bank beach and go boogie-boarding.

Our home is situated on a hill above Turtle Beach, on the southernmost tip of St. Kitts, looking across the 2 mile ocean Narrows to Nevis and the 3,000’ Mt. Nevis. The house is angled so it catches the tropical breezes just right. The only sounds one falls to sleep or awakens to are the sounds of nature. We have a two-car parking area off the hill. The wrought iron gates leads you down to the rear open courtyard of tiles, white rounded stone, plantings and an outdoor shower area.

MAIN FLOOR: From the rear courtyard, the French doors open up to the living room area, taking your eyes directly to the 18’ wide glass Nanadoor that opens up to the veranda and the breathtaking views of Mt. Nevis across the Caribbean waters.
Contiguous to the right of the living room is the fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The gas stove/electric oven is located in a center island looking out through another set of French glass doors to the infinity edge pool and across the blue waters to Nevis. Looking back into the kitchen from the pool are five teak high-stools facing the kitchen bar. The underside of the bar is faced with local natural stone as is the wall around the window sink that looks into the rear courtyard. All stonework accented throughout our home and the walls outside were completed by Sandy Point, the islands premier stone mason. The laundry and powder room are also on this floor. A TV/music center joins the living area with the kitchen (bring your i-Pods). The remaining accents of quartz counter tops, Florida porcelain tile (throughout our home), teak furniture by Kingly-Bate and vaulted ceilings with three fans complete the main living area.

The five-panel glass Nanadoor slides open in concertina fashion to the left, leaving an expanse of indoor/outdoor living between living room, veranda and sun deck. Several lounge chairs and other seating areas are located on the veranda. We always move our 6-8 person teak dining table and chairs outside for daytime games, reading, and evening dinners under the stars. We used stainless steel railings around the veranda and pool to minimize disruption to the eyes as you take in the views.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, A/C, vaulted ceilings and fan, and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower/window looking out to Nevis. The master bedroom on this floor with its own balcony, and the guest bedrooms down stairs, all have the same beautiful view. A large walk-in closet off the master bedroom stores sheets, towels and supplies while still giving space for clothing and suitcases, etc.

DOWNSTAIRS: Two guest bedrooms have either a queen or two extra-long twins beds (can convert to one King) and share a bathroom and walk-in shower. Both have A/C, ceiling fans. Guests can exit the downstairs hallway to the quiet veranda and take in the views by the landscaped garden.

Hurricane shutters are on all windows for both security when our home is vacated, but also for those who can’t abide to be woken up by the splendor of sunrise! Like many islands, power and water outages are not unheard of, so we have equipped our home with a liquid propane generator large enough to automatically cope with all electrical house needs. Mains water comes to the house through an 800gal cistern, so even with a water break, the house supply should not be uninterrupted. For our peace-of-mind, and yours, we have a 24/7 external video surveillance camera system.

The villa is maintained beautifully by an on-island Property Manager (also our Project Manager for construction) who knows the building very well. He can be contacted in the rare event you have any building issues. A gardener and pool tech will service the property before your arrival as will our wonderful housekeeper, who will provide cleaning and laundry service before your arrival. Additional services can be arranged directly through the building manager.

Best Week Ever
We just got back from a week at Seas The Moment. The villa is perfect. It is well supplied and extremely clean. We woke up every morning to the most beautiful views that we never felt we needed to leave. Communication was great with the owners and Dwayne, the property manager. I had never booked on vrbo before and they made me feel at easy during the process. We were hesitant in renting a car and driving on the other side of the road, but it was a breeze. Dwayne made the arrangements for our car and had it ready for us. I cannot say enough great things about our trip. We are already looking at booking for next year.

Wonderful!
We have stayed in over a dozen VRBO's over the last 15 years and "Seas The Moment" was easily the best. The location is excellent and The View is iconic. The property was clean and comfortable and the owners obviously took special care in organizing everything at the property. The local property manager was very helpful and made the check in process seamless. Would highly recommend this property and hope to someday return.

Family vaca Feb 2035
The house is absolutely gorgeous! We loved the indoor/outdoor living space and the pool. It is so tastefully decorated, relaxing and beautiful. We had everything we needed for the week. I always appreciate when there are basics provided (garbage bags, paper towels, beach towels etc) and this house had it all! The location was quiet and private and gave us a great home base to tour the island. The visiting monkeys were fun too! All of the info and recommendations that the owners provided was so helpful. It was easy to meet up with the property manager to get a quick tour of the house so we could settle in and enjoy our stay. It was a windy week so we weren’t able to snorkel at Turtle Beach but loved the snorkeling at Salt Plage Beach at Christophe Harbor. Highly recommend the Spice Mill Restaurant and SoHo for dinners.

The most breathtaking view
As you walk into this home, you are immediately captivated by the stunning view of Nevis. Blood pressure lowers, breath comes easier, and you adjust to island time. A perfect spot for vacation. The home is well appointed and honestly, we stayed put more than we expected to bc nothing beats that view. If the road to the development was paved, it would be perfection. Our family of five would return in a heartbeat.

Best view in the Caribbean
The house and surrounding property is beautiful and extremely well designed and maintained. The large living room that opens via an eighteen foot folding door wall to the expanded covered veranda and pool area extends the total indoor/outdoor living space. Although the best part of it all is the spectacular majestic view of Nevis island and volcano. You cannot get enough of this amazing view. I've been throughout the Caribbean and seen some of the best down island views, but this view tops them all. The location is very breezy with the winds from the east, but it probably helps to keep the bugs down. You do need to keep an eye out for the monkeys, they seem harmless and very comfortable around humans, but if you don't watch out they will come in looking steal food. All of our guests loved them. In summation I hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect family getaway
We enjoyed our stay and loved the size of porch and trade winds blowing through the house. Comfortable bedrooms with AC, we all spent hours lounging in the pool. We didn’t use the kitchen as much as we thought but it was well equipped. Nice to relax here after a day out exploring beaches and hikes. The property manager was helpful too.

This is a beautiful home perfectly set on the hill top so there is a constant breeze. The view is gorgeous. Its nice to have the sandy beach or infinity pool for cooling down options. The beautiful deck was perfect for eating out on. The kitchen was nicely stocked with all kinds of cooking utensils and dishes etc. Absolutely amazing we would love to come back.

We had a magical two week stay at this house. It was truly delightful - in every way.

Wonderful Stay!
We just spent 2 weeks here and loved every minute. This was our sixth visit to St. Kitts, always staying in the Turtle Beach area which is our favorite part of the island. I love waking up each morning, sitting with my coffee near the pool and watching the beautiful sunrises. The view of Nevis is ever changing with the clouds and the weather and we never tire of it. My husband loves walking down to the beach to swim and snorkel each day. We love the open feel of this house and the wonderful breeze!

Extraordinary home for a relaxing vacation
This home is even more beautiful in person than on the website. We spent a wonderful and relaxing week there. The neighborhood is quiet and just a short walk to two lovely beaches. Birds, goats, and even monkeys visited the yard daily, adding to the charm. And Dwayne, the property manager, was extremely helpful. We rented our car from him as well, which saved us quite a bit of time at arrival and departure. We hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by Nick Guise

Host profile image
Cathy comes from the New England area in America and Nick was born in England and came over to America in the early 80s. They both worked in the Biotechnology field which is where they met in the mid 90s and have been happily married, and avid travelers ever since.

Why they chose this property

We first visited St. Kitts with friends in 2001 and stayed at the Reggae Bar & Grill on Turtle Beach which closed at 6pm every night, leaving us upstairs in the apartment to the sounds of the ocean waves, the rustle of palm leaves and other nature-tunes that the tropical breeze brought. Of the 2-3,000 acres of land of the South East Peninsula, we were likely part of a night population of 15-20 people! A few years later, our friends built at Turtle Beach and for a number of years we benefitted by their hospitality. We realized after our first visit that, just like you see on the glossy pages of travel magazines, we had found “our” paradise, and made our own future plans to build.

What makes this property unique

We love to come here with no schedule in mind; we have enough of those in our work. If you need a place to kick back and relax, indulging yourself in doing nothing, or hiking, diving and being active, then our home and island will quickly get you in the mood. There are 3-4 beach restaurants within 3-5 minutes drive, each offering a little different style/quality of food. Sugar cane used to be the main industry of St. Kitts and its only been in the last 5-6 years that tourism has really started. So St. Kitts is not like most of the other well established, highly populated Caribbean islands. There is still plenty of serene, un-spoilt areas to visit, as well as night life along the beaches of Frigate Bay and the hotel areas. Hourly water taxis will take you over to Nevis to explore by bike, taxi or car.
