Vacation Rental Description
Abrigado has raised the bar for elegance and style - with a beautiful aesthetic for island living crafted by top artisans throughout the world. Playful Kannoa & Gloster furniture is the perfect counterpoint to the huge infinity edge swimming pool edged by a beautiful dining pavilion. Inside, Murano glass pendants and Brazilian onyx countertops highlight beautiful sculptures that capture the essence of Abrigado. Entertainment is yours for the asking with a Wifi system that will get everyone involved. All spacious and colorful bedroom suites are located in the north wing of the home. Bathrooms boast Grohe fixtures, rainforest showers, European glass tile and mosaic mirrors and other surprises to delight your senses. Abrigado's eco-conscious design is a model for St. John, from its environmentally sustainable furniture to its solar re-circulating pool pump. While it's thoughtfully fun decor says 'vacation', poolside sunsets at Abrigado are miraculous. Spanish for "warm, sheltered, & protected", this breathtaking NEW villa in prestigious Virgin Grand Estates is designed with Abrigado at its core. Step into Abrigado and be transformed by an extraordinary vacation experience, unlike any other on St. John. The infinity edge swimming pool is one of the largest on the island - its the centerpiece of Abrigado. Poolside recliners adjust to your mood and pool floats lay ready for lazy afternoons at home. A fully outfitted gourmet chef's kitchen fitted with solid mahoghany cabinets, European hardware, Carribean blue glass tiles and rare artisan onyx counter tops.
Pendant lighting fixtures were imported from Italy, uniquely crafted, designed and handblown by Oggeti Luce. Counter top seating accomodates three for light dining or conversation with the chef.
The dining room furniture is crafted of reclaimed Brazilian peroba wood. Elegant and casual seating is provided with both benches and upholstered host chairs. A black Murano glass chandelier by Nella Vetrina elegantly lights the area. Guests will enjoy the beauty of an original silver sculpture by D'Argenta of sting rays perched on the side dining buffet. Formal china is provided for our guests for that special gourmet meal at home.
Enjoy casual dining overlooking spectacular sunsets over Pillsbury Sound at Abrigado's poolside dining pavillion. A plush seating area for cocktails is adjacent to the dining table that comfortably seats ten guests.
Carefully fitted for style and comfort, the living room carries through the theme of environmentally sustainable furnishings and lighting highlighting the colors of the Caribbean. A leopard sculpture in silver adds a graceful yet powerful finishing touch.
A 46 inch flat screen TV with premium movie channels, a DVD, and a Wii are ready for enjoying. The stone walls are personally handcrafted by Joseph, a well known stone artisan on St. John. His design incorporates native stones and shells, including conch and scallops.
The two master bedrooms each have a king bed and a large 62 inch diameter chair and a half for reading, lounging, and a flat screen TV for viewing in privacy and comfort.
The master bedroom on each floor boasts a king sized bed. All fabrics were personally chosen from Osborne and Little, Lee Jofa and Donghia.
The upper master is a purple lovers fantasy with an amethyst gemstone vanity top imported from Brazil. Lit from beneath the vanity glows to show the beauty within.
Mid-morning massages, side by side followed by an al fresco brunch poolside can be yours for the asking at enchanting Abrigado.
Abrigado is a gem, waiting to be discovered on your next visit to St. John. Watch cruise ships glide by in the early morning hours.
Evenings are magical too, as the sun sets over St. Thomas to the west and the stars come out to provide their nightly dance in the sky.
