One Love
DESIGN. This is a 3-level home with the living/dining and kitchen facilities on the middle (2nd) level, and an air conditioned bedroom on each of the three levels, with the bottom and top bedrooms accessed by exterior stairs. You park on the 2nd level and enter into a courtyard which opens to the dining room. The kitchen, dining room, living room and a half bath are surrounded on three sides by sliding glass windows and glass doors which create a bright, cheerful and sunlit living space. Don’t worry about too much solar heat, for these rooms are cooled by an efficient a/c system that was installed in 2010. Tiled stairs lead up to the spacious third floor bedroom/bath while two sets of stairs plus a gated path lead down to the pool, sun deck and lower bedroom/bath. Every bedroom has a private balcony as does the living room, and all rooms and balconies enjoy a lovely view of the turquoise Caribbean waters below you. The L shaped pool has an 8 x 8 foot sitting area with bench seats that are just right for half-in, half-out pool lounging with friends and a tall, cold beverage. One Love is well landscaped and the colorful flowers and lush vegetation create a very tropical setting. |
The pool and deck is bathed by the sun and soft breezes all day long
The living area also has a fabulous view of the Caribbean
LIVING ROOM. A beamed, vaulted ceiling and terra cotta tiled floors give the living area a traditional Caribbean feel. The centerpiece of the living room is the view, as seen through a wall of glass. The view is supplemented by a Sony 40’ flat screen TV/DVD with a Sony speaker system, iPod dock and CD player and wireless internet. The living room is surrounded on three sides by balconies and decks. |
The interior dining room is just off the kitchen
A pass thru window in the kitchen also lets the chef enjoy the great views
DINING AREAS and KITCHEN. A mahogany table for six is the centerpiece of the dining room while just outside the dining room in the courtyard there is a round table that seats six. The kitchen was also completely remodeled in 2010. The cabinets are custom built of mahogany and cypress and the countertops are Brazilian granite. There is a 4-burner gas stove and oven, a built-in microwave, refrigerator/freezer, double sinks, dishwasher, toaster, blender and coffeemaker. Also included is a complete assortment of cooking utensils, kitchen implements, linens and pretty china and glassware. A washer/dryer and a half bath are located beside the kitchen. Outside the kitchen door and down 4 steps, is the barbeque grill and patio. |

BEDROOMS. All the bedrooms have a/c, romantic water views, a private balcony and a tiled bath with a mahogany and cypress vanity and Brazilian granite countertops. The roomy lower level bedroom/bath (270 sq/ft) has two queen beds. It opens to the pool deck and is accessed by two sets of stairs and a private gated entry path off the second level. The second level bedroom/bath, also 270 sq/ft, has a king bed and is accessed from the courtyard between the living areas and this bedroom. The third level bedroom/bath (king bed) is the largest bedroom at 350 sq/ft and is 12 stairs up from the second level courtyard, and has a side balcony that is smaller in size but has a lovely view. |

Caribbean Villas' Comments. One Love was originally built in the 1980’s. In 2009 – 10 it was completely gutted, remodeled and rebuilt, and we began offering it for vacation rentals in December 2010. The owners of One Love rented from us for many years before purchasing their island home.
