ABOUT THE VILLA: This villa is a house with independent units (an upstairs penthouse unit/apartment, a downstairs unit/apartment, and a guest suite). Each unit is complete with its own entry and designated parking space, etc. (there are no shared living spaces or amenities, with the exception of shared parking lot and exterior stairs). The unit in this listing is the top floor with high ceilings indoors and an expansive bird’s eye view outdoors.
STAIRS: STAIRS: As is typical with most villa rentals in St John, stairs are involved in accessing the unit. St John is mountainous, and villas are build in the mountain terrain either as an uphill-build or downhill-build. This villa is a downhill-build, so you descend flights of stairs to where Tradewinds Terrace is located.
