Pleasant Top
An exceptional Bequia property situated at the
top of Belmont Hill on Bequia Island, overlooking
all of Admiralty Bay, Lower Bay, Port Elizabeth
and significant parts of Spring, Industry and Park
Estates, with views to the north beyond Bequia of
most of St. Vincent down to the waterfront at Kingstown,
a view to the west south west to Pigeon (Ramier)
Island, a view to the south to the Pillories.
The house was designed to take best advantage
of the views from this site. The building is a modern
concrete block and plaster gabled open concept construction,
providing a 70 foot long 12 foot wide verandah overlooking
the yacht harbour from the brow of the hill. On
the main floor, there are two large bedrooms, both
with ceiling fans. The master bedroom has a firm
queen sized bed and includes a full ensuite bath
with tub/shower and double sinks. Between the second
bedroom and the main entry, there is a second bathroom
which also includes a shower and sink. The third
bedroom with queen size bed and bathroom including
shower are in the lower level 'apartment'. All bedrooms
have ceiling fans as does the main level kitchen.
The main level kitchen-dining area is 9' by 23'
with generous counter top area and cupboards. There
is a small basic galley kitchen 8' x 8' in the lower
level 'apartment'. Outdoor living is the norm and
we find we usually dine on the verandah with the
delightful ambience of the shimmering harbour or
stunning sunsets. The property really is one of
the most comfortable and romantic spots on the island.
Beside the upper patio, there is a 14'x 9' infinity
edge pool with a stone surround for that lazy lounging
in the sun or shade, your choice, with or without
a nice cool drink, to take in the tropic gardens,
mahogany grove or captivating Admiralty Bay view.
There is even an outdoor shower by the pool to rinse
off the sand after those return trips from the beach
or just to get a quick rinse down.
The main level central living room area has two adjacent
sets of French glass paned doors opening to the covered
verandah area offering a magnificent view over the
harbour. The gable vault covers the whole living area
offering a stunning sight on entry to the building
through the main door from the driveway. It is designed
to optimize air circulation throughout the building.
The roof beams, exposed from within, are varnished
Trinidad teak showing dramatically and tastefully
against white painted roof decking underlay.
The floors throughout the main level are tiled with
reddish earthtone fine-finished Spanish tiles which
also extend to cover all verandah, entry and patio
surfaces except the stone lower level patio. The lower
apartment has a lovely pinkish ceramic tile floor.
The roof edge around the entire building is trimmed
with white painted gingerbread which was patterned
after trim found on a home more than one hundred years
old demolished at Princess Margaret beach during the
1980's
