About this property

Langarra: Contemporary, Pristine Estate w/Endless View, 2 Semi-Private Beaches

Langarra Estate, with its green lawns and welcoming breeze, is part of a historic 300-acre sugar plantation, now the prestigious, secluded 'Preserve at Botany Bay.' Langarra's very private hilltop site overlooks the Preserve's forested slopes and bays, to the dramatic necklace of surrounding, uninhabited small islands -- a 30-mile view, uninterrupted by signs of modern life, except the occasional sailboat passing by.

- Estate Langarra gently combines its fresh spirit with nature's age-old sensibilities. European simplicity combines with West Indian sensuality in furnishings, paintings and details throughout the house. With soaring ceilings above, and cool coral-stone floors underfoot, the light-filled interiors maximize the expanses of sky, sea and garden-green seen from every part of the house.
- There are four spacious bedroom suites, all with ocean views, large bathrooms and closets, and outdoor terraces. A fifth, bedroom/bath suite with 2 queen beds has its own adjacent living area and mini-kitchen -- perfect for children or teens, nannies, family elders, or those who may want a bit of separation. (Note: ALL 5 BEDROOMS ARE EQUIPPED WITH AC, WHILE THE VILLA'S PUBLIC ROOMS ENJOY NATURAL VENTILATION).
- Indoor living spaces extend outward onto the oversized, umbrella-shaded terraces. The large infinity-edge pool overlooks the sea... catching sunlight all day and during the soaked-sky sunset hours.
- A short 5 minutes away by car are two unique beaches, on the private grounds of the Preserve. These two beaches are yours to enjoy (often with no one else in sight)* --pristine, exquisite Sandy Beach (for sunning, bodysurfing, picnicking)... and Mermaid's Chair, the dramatic, delicate double-beach (good for swimming, exploring, beach-combing), where the cooler Atlantic Ocean and the warmer Caribbean Sea converge and blend.

Just a short 20-minute drive away are the attractions of town: world-class shopping, gourmet and casual dining, grocery stores, ferries, entertainment, nightlife, and tours.
Each day your choice becomes to enjoy the peace, space, sun, and utter privacy of Langarra and its beaches ...or take time beyond the gates to savor more 'connected' first-world pursuits, albeit island style.
We now have the Botany Bay Market just minutes from the villa that carries a large variety of food, alcohol and personal items.

*Note: a few times a year our island's north-facing beaches, including those at Botany Bay, are subject to Atlantic high-wave conditions (causing sand to temporarily shift offshore). In these conditions, we recommend guests enjoy expansive, south-facing Brewers Bay beach, just 12 minutes away, with its calm, undisturbed waters for swimming and snorkeling.

Robert and Corinna were easy to work with. The property has an amazing view. Best ever. The house does need some fixing up. Some windows were broken and the property needs some paint and rehabbing. The layout was outstanding. My biggest issue was the amount of heat in the house. The main rooms kitchen and great room had fans everywhere. No air conditioning. Bedrooms were fine and air conditioned. My only real issue is if you pay this much for the rental you should get Air in the places where your family congregates. Other than that we enjoyed the stay. It has one of the best views you will ever see. Truly A+.

Rowson Family Vacation
Wow! Wow! Such an amazing home that was furnished with everything you could possibly need. Our family of eight made some beautiful memories in this beautiful home overlooking some amazing scenery/ocean views from nearly every room. No detail was overlooked. The infinity pool was breathtaking and the house was decorated with touches of beautiful art and comfortable furnishings. The private beach was the best! Priceless! Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. We plan to return in the future. Blessings from Columbia SC, Gainesville FL, Charlotte NC and Virginia Beach SC. St Thomas delivered the relaxation and restoration we were looking for.❤️❤️

Paradise up on a hill
Our group absolutely loved our stay at Langarra! The view is something that you must see in person and is still being talked about by our group after the stay. (6 adults & 5 kids ranging from 7-12) We were initially looking for something on the beach, but opted for a house with an amazing pool and a view. We chose right! The beach is a short three minute drive down the hill which sounds like it would be walkable, but it’s all up hill on the way back so just drive. We rarely saw anyone on the beach so it felt like it was just ours when we went down there. Remember that the tides and currents change day to day if you have kids so make sure the adults check things out first. We found that one day the kids were getting pushed towards the rocks at one end so we just enjoyed playing in the sand but the other days were perfect! Corinna is amazing and always responded when we had a question. Thank you Corinna! We would highly recommend an excursion of some sort that allows you to see the island. We chartered a full day catamaran that took off from the east side of the island, so ask Corinna about how to set up a shuttle ride to the marina so you don’t have to worry about driving back after a day of fun on the water. Cannot recommend Langarra enough, it’s truly paradise up on a hill!
