Like the theatrical production it is named for, Kismet is an “ecstasy of song, spectacle and love”
a splendid medley of attention to the nuances of fine design in a luxury rental and comfort in a spectacular Caribbean vacation setting with a plethora of ways to amuse yourself on your perfect St John vacation or retreat.

Courtyard with Pool and Hot Tub

The Courtyard is a central hub for friends and associates to enjoy at any time of day. Spacious with comfortable seating in sun or shade and fantastic views and breezes, yet very private.

Start your day with a refreshing dip in the pool, sunbathe in the courtyard or soak in the hot tub.

Tower

Spend the morning reading or taking in the astounding views from the open pavilion perched above the main house. With its intricate Moroccan tiles in a sun and moon motif accompanied by the comfortable built-in seating and constant breezes, this pavilion is a magical place for play, day or night.

Garden Paths

Wander the neatly manicured stone and grass paths to discover strategically located wrought iron benches for watching cruise ships pass or observe the Banana Kwits and King birds as they flitter between the trees.

Or encounter the hammock, a perfect place for an afternoon nap after a day hiking trails or swimming at one of St. John's gorgeous beaches.

Great Room

As the day progresses into twilight, the spacious main house begins to beckon. Cool and sophisticated, the elegantly furnished living room encompasses a large and comfortable seating area, a game table with a wide assortment of games and puzzles, bar, CD stereo system with CD library and additional speakers in dining room. A Dell computer with internet wireless connection and printer is available for your convenience. High ceilings and deep inviting couches with large views of the pool deck and a wall of windows looking west through the gardens to St. Thomas, oriental rugs, museum quality inlaid Moroccan tile, and custom furnishings are complemented by fine art and ornate light fixtures.

Home Theater

As evening falls and night activities call there is a full size Home Theater adjacent to the living room. With a richly trimmed ceiling reminiscent of the glory days of Hollywood, Kismet's Screening Room has a maximum clarity 65-inch LED-HD screen, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound system, 10 plush reclining theater seats + Blu-ray DVD players, plus over 1,500 movies which can be screened via an iPad app.  When browsing, you can search for reviews, trailers, directors and actors.  Newer films and BluRay discs are also constantly being added to the library.

Billiard Room

For those who want more physical involvement in their entertainment the Billiard Room is the place to spend an enjoyable evening. Billiards, darts, a Sony Play Station as well as a WII game console with games for both and a wet bar with refrigerator are offered in air conditioned comfort. Two daybeds add extra comfort and sleeping accommodations. There is ample room for a visiting massage therapist to set up a table and a full bath for optimal convenience and privacy.
