Welcome to H2O Eco Villa, a true one of a kind property boasting 77 feet of windows with breathtaking views, 3 decks for relaxing, eating and enjoying the scenery, and an indoor tropical garden under the 18 foot ceiling through which rain falls and waters the foliage. As an "Eco Villa," H2O prides itself on remaining 90% off the grid; the solar energy stored in the Tesla Power walls provides the electricity, the two 20K gallon cisterns under the house provide all the water (currently a 4-step purification process), the septic is on the property, and there is an induction stovetop, which means that no gas is piped into the house. H2O is located in the private community of Sprat Bay, which offers residents and guests access to Sprat Bay Beach & a tennis court.
The two king suites with walk-in closets, air-conditioning and of course, a full bathroom (shower only), provide a quiet, calm escape from a day at the beach or a day trip to St. John, St. Thomas or other island adventures. Making and sharing meals is a delight in H2O thanks to the well-equipped kitchen and numerous spaces to enjoy eating together. You will be surrounded by 90% local artwork in the house, including two original pieces by the artist who conceptualized the architecture of H2O itself, Sacha Thebaud (Tebo). Rain or shine, H2O provides a beautiful experience of the Caribbean with its open concept and vast space.
A day in H2O begins with the beautiful sunrise as the house faces east, overlooking Charlotte Amalie (the capital of St. Thomas) and Hassel Island (a nature preserve). After a morning beverage on one of the decks, prepare for an awesome day of fun at the beach and/or exploring Water Island! Grab some beach gear from the closet by the front door, and load up your golfcart. Putter on down to Honeymoon Beach, and set up under some shade. Take a dip in the water which averages 83 degrees, and soak on your floaty.
When you get thirsty, grab a mid-morning drink at Dinghy's, the beach bar, or dig into the cooler that you packed from the house. When hunger strikes, pile yourselves back into the golfcart and head straight up to Heidi's Hilltop Grill for the AMAZING fish tacos. (There are other options as well). Enjoy a soda, maybe a QAC (a "Quiet Afternoon Cocktail" created by Heidi herself), or go for the "Pain Killer," the "official" drink of the Virgin Islands, originating from the "Soggy Dollar Bar." Perhaps after lunch, you take a golfcart adventure and make your way up the windy dirt road to Fort Segarra which is an underground fort, part of the United States' defense strategies during World War II. After that, your next stop is "The Crossing" which will be on your way back to Honeymoon Beach. Here, check out a variety of locally made jewelry, artwork, and souvenir items. If you find that you feel like another drink, grab a wine-slushy, a non-alcoholic beverage, and/or some shaved-ice from The Crossing! Not ready to return to the beach yet? Play a round of cornhole just behind The Crossing or stay and chat with the locals at the Table of Wisdom. Finally, hop back into the golfcart for the 3 minute ride to Honeymoon beach and continue to enjoy the sun, water, and company! If you're not too tired, stay for the sunset and watch Honeymoon Beach slip into the twilight.
Or, just do what you want :)
