Luxury St. John Villa Presidio del Mar sits on its own promontory on St. John's spectacular north shore. Completed in late 2008, Presidio del Mar's main pavilion is the heart of the property, featuring several exterior terraces on two levels cooled by tropical sea breezes, a pool and hot tub, and two wet bars on covered patios with sink-into seating. The Great Room shares space with the impressive gourmet kitchen, and a dining nook overlooking Peter Bay.

Just outside the kitchen area is a covered terrace with the main level's wet bar and an alfresco living area, and on the other side, a pergola'ed alfresco dining area with a gas grill. Back inside is Presidio's formal dining room, an elegant onyx powder room, a completely equipped private office, and a Club Room with french doors which open to an outdoor covered patio outside, with a pool table and twin hammocks beyond. The main pavilion also houses the Maho Suite, the expansive king master suite with a large bath with custom mahogany cabinetry, double vanities, a dressing room, a claw-foot bathtub, a tiled shower and an alfresco shower with a serene view as well. Adjoining the Maho Suite is a small patio; a short walkway leads to the pool and hot tub.

On the main pavilion's lower level is Presidio's pool and hot tub, flanked by a second wet bar on a terrace set with tables and chairs and perched almost over the water. Beyond is the Jumbie Suite, a king bedroom/bath suite, and the Workout Room, flanked by a powder room and an outside shower. Stone stairs descend to a sanded pathway threading through flowering gardens to the gated and paved stone staircase down to the white sands of Peter Bay Beach. Alongside the main house are two separate air-conditioned bedroom/bath pavilions, Cinnamon Suite and Waterlemon Suite, offering two equal-sized king master suites done with restrained elegance. Both suites boast inspiring sea views from either their indoor sitting areas or from their private verandahs, a choice of an artfully-tiled indoor shower or an alfresco shower, and a mini-fridge and coffee service. Across the central cobblestone courtyard are the estate's two other Suites, elevated on a rise to provide amazing views across the bays and National Park beaches.

Stone stairs ascend to the pavilion housing Hawksnest Suite. Hawksnest Suite features an indoor and an outdoor shower overlooking the ocean and St. Thomas in the distance. Another staircase curves up to the top of Hawknest's pavilion and to the parapet, a rooftop aerie surveying sweeping panoramas of Presidio's expanse and beyond to the U.S. and British Virgins. Across a courtyard is the Mongoose Suite, a complete air-conditioned apartment suite in its own pavilion, with a full kitchen, living area and a plush king bedroom.
