The elegance of the bygone Caribbean comes to life at lovely Jacaranda! Situated within exclusive gated Dolphin Estate near Tortola's Soper's Hole anchorage, this gracious four-bedroom home is set within beautiful landscaping graced with large shade trees and serpentine garden paths threading through the green tropical flora. Jacaranda's main level will take your breath away. As you enter the spacious Great Room, wide french doors open out to the covered, breezy verandahs on the southern side of the villa; cushioned Adirondack chairs, comfy chaises, a dining table and hammock make this relaxing area the heart of Jacaranda. One side of this covered patio overlooks stunning long-distance ocean views of Sir Francis Drake Channel, St. John and outlying islands framed by the villa's gingerbread trim, and on the other side, the swimming pool beckons. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with excellent quality cookware and culinary utensils, and romantic alfresco dining is divine on the verandah, or beyond in the garden alcove set with an umbrellaed table and gas grill. A tiled staircase leads to Jacaranda's lower level and to three air-conditioned bedroom suites. Each suite is handsomely decorated with an artistic mix of pleasing styles, with added punches of Caribbean color in fabrics, throw rugs and island artwork. French doors open out from each suite to a covered verandah bordering the south side of the villa, a cool spot set with cushioned chairs, just perfect for a quiet read, cocktail or conversation. Just below via exterior steps is Jacaranda's fourth air-conditioned bedroom/bath suite, a smaller, very private getaway with an exotic alfresco shower and a private patio just outside. This villa has been lovingly renovated and is now showcased within some of the most beautiful landscaping on the island, enhanced by native stone walkways, mature shade trees and a wide variety of manicured tropical plants and flowers. Jacaranda offers a glimpse into the Caribbean of years past while offering pristine and stylish interiors with all modern amenities...five stars.
