Description
Privately screened by mature trees, with lawns and terraces for al fresco living, and the clear waters of the Caribbean lapping a white sand bay at the foot of the garden, this bright and welcoming villa is a perfectly charming place to chill. Throughout the house, décor and furnishings blend crisp white with vibrant fabrics in reds and aqua, ceiling fans boost the cooling sea breezes, and WiFi is available to touch base with the real world. Entry to the main house is into the double-height dining room, from which there is an open-tread staircase to two air-conditioned, en suite bedrooms on the upper floor, each with a raftered ceiling and doors to a shared sea-view balcony.
Three steps down from the dining area, an open-plan living room has big sofas, a convivial bar and small breakfast area, and opens on to a shaded terrace, lit by shell lanterns and meeting the seafront lawns. The cottage, just a few yards across the grass, is a beautiful open-plan arrangement of king-size bedroom, living room and kitchenette. Adjacent to the historic St. James church, the villa is 800m from lively Holetown, and a short stroll along the boardwalk from snorkelling at Folkestone Marine Park.
