Chill Out in Chocolate Hole: Family-Friendly Retreat with A/C, Private Pool, & a solar power battery backup system!

Ciellodonna is located in an exclusive neighborhood in a peaceful harbor side setting with lovely views that overlook Chocolate Hole Harbor. The house faces southeast and is blessed with sun the entire day, plus gentle cooling breezes and beautiful views of boats at rest on turquoise waters. A private path leads from the house to the water and you can walk along the shore for swimming and snorkeling at the small beach at the head of the harbor. It’s an easy 6-minute drive into Cruz Bay and about one mile to the spa, fitness facility, restaurants and beach at the Westin Resort.

Ciellodonna is a spacious and very comfortable 2-level home with 2400 sq/ft of interior space and another 3400 sq/ft of decks. Parking is on the upper level where you enter into the large great room, which contains the living, dining and kitchen areas, plus a half bath. Six sets of screened sliding glass doors open to the large upper deck which runs the full length of the house. The upper deck includes lovely views, a living/lounging area and a gazebo that provides shade for outdoor dining or relaxing. Two master bedrooms are located on the upper level and two more bedrooms are on the lower level, which is accessed by an exterior stairway. The bedroom loft is above the kitchen. The pool is on the lower deck, along with a large sun deck, a complete wet bar and another well furnished living and lounging area.
All four bedrooms are roomy master bedrooms with harbor views, a/c, tiled floors and quality furnishings. The upper west bedroom is the owner's bedroom with a 4-poster king bed and cable TV/DVD, while the upper east bedroom has a queen mahogany sleigh bed and cable TV/DVD. Like the lower bedrooms, the upper bedrooms are located on the ends of the house for excellent privacy. The lower right bedroom has a queen 4-poster mahogany bed and the lower left bedroom has a canopied king bed with a queen size sleep sofa for children. Two more kids can sleep in the loft bedroom on a full sized futon, and altogether Ciellodonna can sleep 12 people. All four master bedrooms open to a deck and all have beautiful tiled baths and showers.
The comfortable great room is defined by cathedral ceilings, Italian tiled floors, stone walls, big furniture and harbor views. There is a stereo and a cable color TV, plus high speed internet. The mahogany dining table seats 8-10 in the formal dining area while large exterior dining tables are located under the gazebo and on the lower deck.
The kitchen features tiled countertops, mahogany cabinets, a gas stove and oven, a dishwasher, microwave and all necessary cooking utensils and dinnerware. A washer/dryer is located off the kitchen and there's a gas barbecue on the deck.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a fitness center or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great stay

We had family stay here that came in for my daughters wedding. The house is very spacious. Nice pool and good snorkeling in chocolate hole. Little beach area below villa.. watch out for the sea urchins entering from villa. Saw a huge lobster! Overall they enjoyed their stay. The great room does not have ac, but there are lots of doors to open that will let in the breeze from the ocean. Close to town and stores, not walking distance.

Quiet Comfortable Home

Ciellodonna is a quiet property close to Cruz Bay. What can I say. . .amazing deck and pool views . . .large, comfortable living areas. . .lovely air-conditioned bedrooms. Snorkeling from the property is awesome. . .tangs, stingrays, turtles etc, but getting in and out is challenging (boulders and sea urchins abound). If not up to the challenge you can drive to the sandy area for easier access. The management company were great about answering questions.

Beautiful and convenient location.

My overall impression is highly positive, the pool, however, is a little sketchy.
