Description
Villa, 2 master Bedrooms + bunkroom, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
The unusual indoor/outdoor architecture creates an ambiance that makes this artistic property so unique. When you arrive Inhale the llang llang, jasmine, or other sweet smelling Caribbean plants, as you enter the villa and are soothed by the waterfall or fountain. Two sides of the living room are open, one with the pool bordering it and the other has a garden backed by the wall of one of the master suites adding texture and color to the living room. Stunned by the view of the pool, flowering plants ,and view of the ocean and St Kitts peninsular; sink into a chair and view the sunset with a refreshing drink. You have arrived!
As you awaken in the morning you don’t even have to get out of bed to enjoy views over the pool. Get your coffee and if you wish sit on one of the private side porches until you wake up. Pinneys beach is only a 5 minute drive.
Stroll along the property savoring the many beautiful jacaranda, flamboyant, palm, sandbox, mango , almond trees and gorgeous volcanic rocks along your way, or go into your own private jungle path. Take a rest in the hammock under a gorgeous sandbox tree.
Nearby activities include: golf, tennis and a large variety of watersports. Horseback riding, and cycling. There are many historical sites to visit including the newly refurbished Hamilton Museum and historic Bath Hotels hot springs. There are great hikes with guides available.Great hikes right from our property go over ancient waterfalls, bridges and caverns or right along the Four Seasons golf course path which takes you into a beautiful ghaut.
This is a must for adventurers and wildlife lovers, the vervet monkeys can seen up close as well as hummingbirds , little bullfinches regularly visit our parrot and hawks sore in the blue skies above. At certain times of year looking across from the villa you can see the whales migrating in the distance (if you’re lucky)! There are two tame donkeys, one horse, a dog and cat,and the above mentioned parrot who rules the property
For your night life there are live bands -usually 3 nights a week and karaoke. Or you can just chill-out on the deck , star gaze, dance under the light of the moon and get mesmerized by the fireflies.
On our sister island, St Kitts, there are many historical sites too including Brimstone and is as close as 7 minutes on a watertaxi to the Salt Plague popular restaurant.
Private massages can be arranged at the villa. We act as your private concierge so just provide your wish list. We stay in a small cottage on the property that allows total privacy for the opened front of villa.
From the moment you come through customs in St Kitts or Nevis your vacation has begun. We arrange Taxis and water taxis from St Kitts and car rentals lt will take you across to Nevis (7 minutes) Basic groceries can be organized for your arrival, take out dinners we can pick up for your first dinner and we can also bring in a private chef.

Amazing!
My husband and I recently stayed at Estate of Mind for our honeymoon and had an extraordinary time. The house was beautiful and charming, the view amazing and our hosts became our friends as well as guides as they shared what to seek out and avoid (e.g. Norwegian meatballs) when it came to food, places, etc. Every night we watched the sky come to life with a different sunset and every morning we awoke with clouds skittering across the sky, getting in place for the new day. In between we visited all the various sites on Nevis, from craggy coast to smooth shore, lush rain forest to crumbling sugar mills and plantations. The hosts volunteer with the local humane society so there were four legged creatures around should you want to get your fix of dog or donkey or parrot (which I did!), but only come if invited (which they were!). It was truly a magical experience, one we will never, ever forget. Thank you dear hosts and friends.

2013 Stay At Estate of Mind
5 Stars!!! If you love nature, serenity, privacy, spectacular views, getting off the beaten path, and a change from the typical tourist accommodations, then this lovely home and property is for you. With an open air concept, you'll share the central living area with beautiful birds trying to nest in the chandeliers, and an occasional Monkey peeking at you from the roof......not to mention the owner's incredibly brilliant and welcoming pups, and their adorable donkeys and horse also on property. The two master suites are charming and comfortable, as is the entire house, and everything you need is provided. The views are stunning, and everything is within driving distance. Try to find Lovers Beach while there. Not easy to find, but well worth it if you want your own beautiful private tropical spot on the island. The owners, Barbara and Sandy, are just simply the best people I've met in a very long time. They will ensure your comfort and provide any information you need to make your stay on this very special little island memorable. My visit to Nevis, Estate of Mind, and meeting Barbara, Sandy, and their four-legged family, and many friends will always be a cherished memory.

So fantastic
We absolutely loved staying here. The home has everything we could have needed and the property is beautiful. It was private, remote, and safe. Barbara and Sandy are amazing hosts and were so incredibly helpful with our trip. We were having trouble booking a Winnair flight...and they drive down to the airport and made all arrangements for us before we arrived. They really are just fantastic. The view is amazing, and we LOVED the dogs, the horse, and the donkeys on the property. Our favorite beach on the island is right down the hill. Always quiet and relatively empty. I also highly recommend the hike to Nevis peak. We are retuning very soon. Thanks so much for a wonderful week. :)
