Siren's Song

About Siren's Song, St. Thomas

Siren's Song is about a mile's drive from the main security gate through a pristine 380-acre private estate to this villa's 3.3 acres. A terra-cotta Chinese Emperor greets you as you enter Siren's Song's foyer and a fountain welcomes you into this luxurious mansion. The fountain is surrounded by the upper level landing's balcony and a high cathedral ceiling.

On the west side of Siren's Song's main level is a well-equipped kitchen with two refrigerators. A breakfast bar divides the kitchen from the dining area which seats 12 comfortably. To the right of the kitchen and dining areas, doors lead out onto a garden and lawn area with a gas grill and tables for alfresco dining. On the main level's east side is the living area set with white-slipcovered comfy sofas and a media center. Just beyond this living area, an archway leads to two air-conditioned bedrooms: one king suite has a romantic four-poster bed and its own private step-out balcony with a sea vista. This suite is adjoined by a smaller air-conditioned bedroom with two twin beds which shares the bath. This smaller bedroom also connects to a third air-conditioned king suite, and has its own separate entrance.

A few stairs lead down from the main level to the pool area, hammocks, and the surrounding green lawn. In-pool benches for sitting, five fountains cascading into the pool, and chaise lounges for suntanning will enhance your hours at this sunny spot. Shaded by a canopy, there's also a poolside wet bar, refrigerators and a gas grill.

Siren's Song's upper level is accessed by a stylish curving staircase, and offers four air-conditioned king bedroom/bath suites with four-poster beds and a private scenic balcony off each suite. A sofabed in a smaller air-conditioned room with an enclosed laundry is perfect for small children who must be near their parents. Another sofabed is on the large landing of the upper level, handsome with its wooden floor. A deck extends along a portion of the upper level, swept by Caribbean tradewinds.

Furnishings are traditional mahogany in West Indian style, harking back to early island days. Shell pink is the theme for Siren's Song exterior and pale cool floor tiles, warmed by wood cabinets and ceiling beams; arched openings throughout frame lovely sea views.

Siren's Song is surrounded by mature trees and manicured landscaping, and below the property, fascinating natural wonders are to be found at Mermaid's Chair (the sand bar which separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea, and which connects Botany Bay to Little St. Thomas, a small islet to the west owned by The Nature Conservancy) - snorkeling, beachcombing, shelling, hiking and kayaking. These are private areas, just a few minutes' walk from Siren's Song, shared only with Mermaid's Dream and by occasional visitors to the Beach House on Botany Bay's 380-acre private estate. And it's only a 20 or 25-minute scenic drive to town from this wonderfully-located villa. If you yearn for serenity and peace far from crowds and traffic, Siren's Song is definitely the place...five stars.
