Walk/Drive to Neltjeberg Beach - Outdoor Kitchen | Villa in St Thomas

2 Bedroom Villa in Estate Dorothea, St Thomas
At La Chascona, there are infinite possibilities for memorable experiences. Our favorites: enjoying morning espressos in bed while looking out to the bay; sun-bathing on the secluded sandy beach; swimming in the crystal-clear ocean; grilling and making pizzas at sunset; dining by candlelight in the outdoor kitchen; and, star gazing on the double lounger.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Highlights of La Chascona
• Private, cozy setting – Nestled on St. Thomas’ quiet Northside with breathtaking 180-degree views of Inner & Outer Brass Islands from the 6 foot wide, wrap around balcony.
• Unique touches – An enclosed herb garden and mature fruit trees (help yourself to bananas if they’re ripe!).
• Outdoor kitchen – Wood fired pizza oven and charcoal, built in grill making cooking outdoors while watching the sunset a key memory from your vacation.
• Modern comforts in island style – ACS, internet, and running water all solar-powered with Tesla Powerwalls for seamless electricity, plus CCTV security (no indoor coverage, of course) that record locally and to the cloud. Make sure to turn off the ACS when departing for the day to ensure power is available when you return from being at the beach all day.
• For older kids only – Best suited for guests 5+ due to outdoor stairs, tiled walkways, and open railings. The walkways are covered by can get slippery when wet.

Close to
• Neltjeberg Beach – this secluded local beach is only a 5-minute drive down the road. You often find you are the only people at the beach. Please do NOT bring vehicles onto the beach. It is a turtle nesting beach and our sand is too soft to support a vehicle.
• Hull Bay Beach – about 8 minutes from the property and has great snorkeling and a restaurant right on the beach.
• Moe’s Grocery Store – located about 5 minutes from the property, it’s a great spot to grab essentials. It can be a bit pricey for a full grocery haul but it is a fully stocked grocery store. We recommend stopping at Pueblo on the way up the mountain.
• Phantasea Tropical Gardens – a great place to visit if you’re looking for something different from the beaches. It’s a lovely way to spend a couple of hours and they often have local eggs for sale!
• Fish Bar and The Shack at Hull Bay – Fish Bar is great if you want a nicer dinner. The food is always amazing and the cocktails are creative. The Shack at Hull Bay is a super casual spot that has delicious fish tacos and burgers and is located steps from Hull Bay Beach.
• Cyril E King Airport – about 18 minutes away
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Where you’ll sleep
• Primary Bedroom – located on the main floor, just off the main living space. You will sleep in a cozy queen bed with access to the outdoor kitchen and living space. The ensuite bathroom is just steps from the bed. You can close off the primary bedroom by sliding the barn doors shut.
• Guest Bedroom – located on the lower level via a 15-step outdoor staircase that wraps around the side of the home. You will sleep in a full-sized bed. You are steps from the heavy bag, your ensuite bathroom, and will find the laundry located in the closet of this bedroom.
We STRONGLY suggest securing your car rental as soon as possible. Rental car companies are having a hard time keeping up with the present demand. We recommend renting a SUV or a vehicle with high clearance to negotiate the unpaved road and switch-back turns.
"La Chascona" is named after the love nest that Pablo Neruda, the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet, built for his secret lover and eventual wife in Santiago in 1953. We hope that you will find as much relaxation, peace, and joy in our hideaway as Pablo and Matilda found in theirs!
