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

DESCRIPTION: Welcome to Ciellodonna, an exquisite private villa offering 4+ spacious bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths, complete with a refreshing pool. This elegant two-level retreat encompasses 2,400 sq.ft. of beautifully designed interior space, complemented by an impressive 3,400 sq.ft. of outdoor deck area.

As you arrive and park on the upper level, step into the expansive great room that seamlessly combines the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. With six sets of screened sliding glass doors, this inviting area opens onto a magnificent upper deck stretching the entire length of the home. Enjoy alfresco dining in the charming covered gazebo to the left, or unwind in the comfortable wicker chairs and cushioned lounge chairs positioned for optimal views of the stunning Chocolate Hole Harbor.

The two main master bedrooms, located on opposite sides of the great room, ensure privacy and comfort, while two additional guest bedrooms off the lower pool deck are easily accessed via an exterior staircase. Each of the four bedrooms features a private en-suite bathroom, allowing Ciellodonna to sleep up to 12 guests, thanks to the added loft with a full-sized futon couch and a pullout sofa in the lower left bedroom.

The expansive pool and deck area are perfect for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a BBQ grill, a rain-sheltered dining zone, and a covered wet bar with a flatscreen TV. Ample lounge chairs invite you to bask in the sun and enjoy lazy afternoons in paradise.

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.
