Villa Navillus Sur, Las Quintas #3, lies atop Punta Melones with 300-degree views of the big island of Puerto Rico, Luis Peña, Vieques, St. Thomas, and, on a clear day, St. Croix, more than 55 miles distant.
The property, meticulously landscaped with more than 25 varieties of palms from all over the world, boasts a spectacular open-plan, vaulted-ceiling great room with a wraparound porch, double-oven kitchen, guitar cabinet, and space to dance. This place is a musician’s paradise. Step outside to the astro-turfed yoga deck and self-watering herb and vegetable garden, and you can watch the spectacular sunsets that only Culebra knows. Walk to the east and lie on the star deck, a teak and futon platform, and watch the planets and moon rise amidst the clearly visible Milky Way. Sleep there during meteor showers and wake to sunrise over Ensenada Harbor.
There are four bedrooms: a master suite by the pool, with a jacuzzi, skylightshower, and panoramic views. The sun rises to the left of the bed and sets to the right. A full en suite bedroom lies below the master suite with its own private deck. Two additional en suite bedrooms are located side by side, overlooking the gardens and Luis Peña Nature Preserve. These are down one flight of stairs for maximum privacy, allowing the kids to go to sleep while the music plays above.
