Conch Villas was constructed in 1986 using rare Brazilian hardwoods, which are maintained inside Convivare. The siding and interior walls are made of IPE (green heart) from the Para province, just south of the Amazon Delta, from a Brazilian exporter in Belem using wood from enviromentally friendly cutters. The shutters are made of JATOBA a wood even stronger than IPE and is mainly used as floor boards in Brazil. The shutters were prefabricated at a factory in BELEM. The hardware of unique Brazilian design, hinges etc. was also fitted in Belem. Some shutters were repaired with mahogany after Irma. The Conch Villas grounds are designed into a garden by Property King, a highly regarded local landscaping firm. The stonework includes numerous conch shells cemented into the walls: it is after all Conch Villas! Impromptu visits by peacocks and goats can be expected. The outdoor Conch Villas security camera is above the porch and monitors the common walkway up into the grounds. The name “Convivare” comes from the original owner of Conch Villas. They installed a plaque on the front door that carries the legend “Si non convivare noli tintinnare,” which is an Italian / Latin folk phrase meaning roughly “If you do not want to come in and feast with us, don’t ring the bell." Tall ceilings and southern exposure allow abundant light into the unit, or close the four folding doors and window shutters for extra privacy. High speed Internet dedicated to this unit, with cable television. A small bar with stools faces into the kitchen. Beach chairs and cooler are provided for your days on St. John’s incomparable beaches. Please look at the rental agreement for hurricane policies. Convivare is not a hurricane shelter and must be vacated by guests when a hurricane approaches (refund for lost days of course): we recommend travel insurance during hurricane season, which is highest in August and September. We generally close the month of September.
