BLUE VISTA - "the perfect home for a Caribbean lifestyle"

LOCATION: Zoni Beach is a one mile long sand beach located on the secluded east end of Culebra. It is located over four miles from town and the nearest commercial building. From this spectacular beach you enjoy the dynamic views of St Thomas, Culebrita, and Cayo Norte. On a hectic day you might be sharing this privilege with fifty other seekers. From March to July, Zoni is a nesting area for the Leatherback turtles. These fabulous creatures have mythically been returning to Zoni beach, their birthplace and that of their ancestry, for thousands of years. The governmental protection of this regal lineage has helped to preserve Zoni from development on the beach. This symbiotic relationship of man and turtle has helped to preserve a very special beach for both to enjoy and defend. The predominant zoning of the area is five or 25 acres a house. However, the special community of Alturas de Zoni, which begins about 200 yards above Zoni Beach, is zoned one cuerda (.971 acre) a house. Being on the east end of Culebra, Zoni Beach enjoys the best exposure to the cooling trade breezes. From Zoni Beach you will treasure the very essence of peace, tranquility and natural beauty. Blue Vista has the distinction of being located only 300 yards above this incredible beach.

The maintenance free tiled patio affords spectacular sun and moon rises and the nighttime twinkle of the lights of St Thomas. At this location the nighttime celestial skies are glorious and spiritual in their beauty and clarity. Blue Vista was designed to create a trade breeze exposure that would eliminate any thought of air conditioning. Eight foot and six foot sliding glass doors circumvent the house and provide for enjoyment of clean, cool, fresh ocean air as it first arrives on this eastern section of Culebra. This unique use of sliding glass doors also allows for the enjoyment of the spectacular ocean views from almost any location within the house.
