Private Villa on 2 Acres with Chef and Saltwater Pool

Moon Hill is a unique oasis of seclusion, escape and serenity that is located on 2 acres at the foot of a rainforest, on the eastern side of the island of Nevis. The property is accessed through a private gate and is situated at the top of a hill.

Moon Hill welcomes our guests from the moment they enter the gate, leaving the daily worries and routines behind and settling into ultimate relaxation. We have created an atmosphere of tranquility, presence, and peace that permeates the spaces in and around the villa. We appreciate living in the heart of nature and it is important for us to use all natural products , and avoid hard chemicals wherever possible.

The House
The house itself is located on the site of an old existing Great House of a sugar plantation. The house overlooks the old estate property and many of the stonework found in the house were hand cut from the existing centuries' old buildings on the estate.

The villa itself is a one-story house with shuttered screen doors which open from within onto a 40' covered veranda with an open terrace for sunbathing, stargazing, hammock swinging, morning coffee, cocktail hour, and listening to the many birds and wildlife.

From the front balcony you'll have unobstructed and magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea with Antigua, Barbuda (on a clear day), Montserrat, and Guadeloupe visible from the balcony. From the rear you'll be captivated by the spectacular views of Mt. Nevis - a mountain which rises to over 3,000 feet, covered in a lush tropical rainforest.

Accommodation
The villa's two bedrooms, are spacious, with a minimalist, Caribbean-style decor creating a bright, and relaxing atmosphere. Each bedroom has Mt. Nevis views , surrounded by lush green landscape. Offering the ultimate privacy and tranquility.

The two bedrooms can accommodate up to four people. All of the beds include cotton bedding and organic latex foam mattresses, offering a range of benefits for sleep and health - no springs, fillers, or other harmful materials.

Bedroom 1:
King sized bed that can also be converted to accommodate two twin beds with mountain view. Ceiling Fan, mosquito netting, desk with Ethernet connection, extra linens/ pillows, and ample clothing storage.

Bedroom 2:
Queen Sized bed hand-carved from Purple Heart wood, with mountain and pool view. Ceiling Fan, mosquito netting, extra linens and pillows, and ample clothing storage.

Bathroom:
There is one bathroom with a rain shower and tub from which you will have breathtaking views of Mt. Nevis while showering. Towels, bathrobes, slippers, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and other essentials provided.

Living Room:
The main room in the house is a large open concept living room and dining room. The screened doors overlook and open onto the large veranda with unveiling sweeping views of the Caribbean and ocean breeze.

There is one television from which you can access amazon prime, netflix, and other channels, as well as high speed WiFi with Ethernet connection if you need to work remotely at any time.

Kitchen:
Fully stocked with organic spices, herbal teas, coffee maker, bodum pour over, espresso, Vitamix, toaster, kettle, and a reverse osmosis water system. Dishes, cooking basics, wine glasses, and silverware provided.

Pool:
Enjoy your private and uniquely designed, salt water pool with a view of the ocean and spectacular views of Mt. Nevis - a mountain which rises to over 3,000 feet, covered in a lush tropical rainforest. Access to a covered gazebo and outdoor shower.

Personal chef :
Tessie, our property manager, has been with us for over 20 years and is like family. She is available for your enjoyment and will prepare Caribbean style meals three days per week's stay.
The cost includes any ingredients for the three days Tessie is cooking. She will shop and source local ingredients for the meals she is preparing for you and can personalize any meals to suit any dietary restrictions or to suit your liking.
On the days she is cooking, she will prepare a local soup, fresh salad, main course (fish, chicken or vegetable) and dessert.
If you wish, you can extend her services for the entire week at an additional cost.

Your stay at Moon Hill is important to us and we hope you create memorable experiences, while immersed in the undisturbed and secluded peace and beauty of Nevis.

Moon Hill Villa - Delight
Moon Hill Villa was a delightful place to stay. The stunning 2-bedroom house offered breathtaking views, including the majestic mountain, which was equally captivating whether covered by clouds or seen on a clear day. On sunny days, the views of the sea and distant islands such as Redonda and Montserrat were spectacular. Overall, the scenery in all directions was beautiful. We experienced nature at its finest, with the sounds of various animals like donkeys, sheep, goats, and roosters, and the soothing chirping of crickets at night. Sitting out on the veranda and gazing at the stars was a truly magical experience. Tessy, the Chef, treated us to wonderful meals, adding to the charm of our stay. Moon Hill Villas is superb for travellers who enjoy outdoor life, Caribbean style!

Neighborhood animal noise keep us awake pretty much every night.
Nice property but in a neighborhood where there are goats, roosters, dogs and donkeys that bleet, crow, bark and bray most of the night. The bedrooms are not air conditioned so you can’t close the windows. There are ceilings fans that are old and ineffective. When I talked to the owner about the bedrooms being so hot he told me to open the all the doors and get an ocean breeze. Unfortunately the bedrooms are at the rear of the house. There is a breeze on the porch and I ended up sleeping out there on a sofa but had to contend with the animal noises and the mosquitoes. There is a local housekeeper that comes in and I mentioned it to her and she says everyone complains about it. After the first night we found another house on the island but decided it would probably get better or we would get used to it. It didnt get better and we didn’t get used to it. Also to a lesser degree it would have been nice to of had a microwave and a washer and dryer. If someone else who stayed here would have written about this in their review it certainly would have been appreciated and saved us many sleepless nights.

Lovely Stay at Moon Hill
Jonathan paid attention to every detail from transport from the airport to the water taxi, to transportation to the Villa. The portfolio of information he put together is the most complete and helpful we have ever received. Jonathan checked in with us before, during, and after our stay. For this, we are grateful. The views from the property are stunning and the location is close to some of the best restaurants on the Island. We enjoyed meeting Tessie and she cooked us some lovely meals. All in all an excellent experience at Moon Hill. Pierre and Sara.

Lovely Home with Sea and Mountain Views
My friend and I had a lovely stay at this just right-sized villa with sea views from the front and mountain views from the back of the property. The beds are comfortable and the home has updated furrnishings and a large bathroom. There is ample outdoor seating. Moon Hill is toward the windward side of Nevis, so driving to the more popular beaches is about a 20 minute ride. There is a large supermarket just down the road and plenty of restaurants nearby, however. Jonathan was full of recommendations of things to do and see. And unlike most other rentals, there are ample seasonings and staples in the kitchen as well as a housekeeper to cook for you! Enthusiastically recommend.

One of our best vacations ever!
We had a ten-day stay. From arrival to departure, the property, ambiance, location and amenities were to die for. Another special plug for this incredible property is that it came with the services of a cook three days a week. That value alone, was priceless, as it allowed us to settle in and focus on adventure, relaxation and renewal. The property is located on a large piece of land that allowed for near total privacy. It had several spots with beautiful mature trees for writing and meditation. Our one regret was wishing we had brought a hammock. We had many days of watching the sunrise over the Caribbean sea and the sunset over Mt. Nevis. Nature and its beauty could be viewed and experienced from the two bedrooms, living/ dining room, kitchen, bathtub and incredible pool, veranda and gazebo. The property manager Jonathan was amazing and generous. He had a zoom call with us prior to our trip and answered all emails promptly. He provided great local suggestions that made for one of our best vacations ever. The cook Tessy cooked up the storm and nurtured our beings with eye catching, nutritious and fresh meals. It was hard to leave Nevis and this property fondly known as Moon Hill. As the saying on the metal gate says - Carpe Diem (Cease the moment), we are planning to cease the moment and return in 2024. Thanks for the memories.

Gemütliche Villa mit traumhaften Ausblick
Wundervolles Anwesen mit traumhaften Ausblick. Jonathan - der Eigentümer - hat sich fantastisch um alles gekümmert. Die Unterkunft ist so schön wie auf den Bildern und supersauber. Tessie - due gute Seele des Hauses - hat sich wunderbar um unser leibliches Wohl gekümmert (sogar fleischfrei).
