What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
A short stone staircase leads through lush landscaping down to this villa's next tier, offering a stone terrace with a large hot tub. A few more steps lead to a secluded waterfront overlook of Peter Bay's coral reef, rugged lava shoreline and the beautiful National Park waters and surrounding hills. This overlook is named Anniversary Point in celebration of its discovery on the owners' 25th wedding anniversary. Anniversary Point is a special intimate nook for two, designed to share a glass of wine and quiet moments together. Additional stone steps along the water's edge, lighted for balmy nights, lead gently down to the totally private Beach Terrace perched just 10 feet above the rolling ocean waves. Chaise lounges and chairs provide the perfect setting to watch pelicans diving for fry, turtles swimming by and enjoying the song of the ocean and pristine views that go on forever. By night, stretch out and stargaze, or watch the moonrise from the Beach Terrace. Several steps beyond the Beach Terrace take you to a shaded oceanside path and to the sugar white sands of Peter Bay Beach, just 100 feet away - enjoy the idyllic beach or excellent reef snorkeling in Peter Bay. Back inside the villa you will find all four of the air-conditioned bedroom suites widely separated for exceptional privacy.
Two equal queen suites are located on opposite sides of the house, on the same level as the library/office, powder room, and kitchen. Each queen suite is graced by a lovely carved mahogany four-poster bed, a private balcony for two facing the ocean, and a sheltered outdoor shower screened by lush landscaping. From the dining area in the Great Room just steps below, a staircase leads to the villa's third queen bedroom suite. This suite, identical in size to the other two above, has an ornate iron bedstead, its own private balcony facing the ocean and overlooking the Beach Terrace, and a tiled inside shower. Another short stairway leads to a foyer and into the exquisite king master suite, set on its own private level. This spacious suite features a massive mahogany king bed and a surrounding walkaround balcony which provides awe-inspiring sea vistas. From the master suite, a lighted stone walkway connects to a garden terrace with a hot tub and a sitting area.
All four of 2B's bedroom suites are air-conditioned, fully screened, and each has a private balcony from which to savor the wide-angled ocean views. This gracious home is beautifully decorated with casually elegant furnishings, finished with faux-painted frescoed walls, and highlights a collection of original artwork by St. John's Kat Sowa. The high vaulted ceiling imparts a grand sense of scale and spaciousness. Exceptionally well designed, the multi-leveled floor plan provides architectural interest; the villa's varying levels are easy to navigate and provide various private nooks and areas for occasional solitude. Arched transom windows above the oversized screened french doors let the glorious tropical light in, and handcrafted native stonework throughout this home and landscaped gardens add to your island pleasures. 2B at Peter Bay is furnished with your comfort in mind without sacrificing its artful elegance and style. This rare oceanfront location on beautiful St. John will fulfill most vacation wish lists. Please book early to secure your vacation dates at this magnificent one-of-a-kind residence.

Take a drive via scenic roads out to Coral Bay, a small village where you'll enjoy funky bars, a few quaint shops and horseback riding. You can continue eastward to St. John's pristine east end for its spectacular views and crystal-clear waters: Coral Bay, Hansen Bay and Privateer Bay beyond play host to incredible sunrises and unspoiled nature. And of course, on St. John, watersports abound: SCUBA diving, snorkeling, sailing, power boating, beach lounging and swimming. 5,000 acres of St. John are designated as Virgin Islands National Park (courtesy of the late philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller).
National Park lands occupy a full three-fifths of this 9-by-5-mile Caribbean island, keeping it relatively tranquil and pristine. With over 20 hiking trails, miles of fabulous beaches, and with easy access to the British Virgin Islands via ferry, St. John is the ideal place for vacationers seeking the fable and aura of seafaring explorers, pirates and undersea life. Explore the stunning National Park beaches of Hawksnest Bay, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and Maho Bay and their sugar-white sands and clear, shimmering blue waters before retiring to your villa for the night.
The Virgin Islands National Park's Rangers offer hikes, seashore walks, historic, cultural and snorkeling tours, bird watching and informal evening lectures to visitors. Leaving the town area means ascending high into St. John's hills; Bordeaux Mountain offers a cool bird's-eye view of the British Virgins Islands, plus a portion of the famous Reef Bay Trail, to the Reef Bay Estate Great House. There are other historical monuments to explore, including the Windberg Estate, the Frederikdal ruins, and the restored Annaberg Plantation (a National Park site). For a very small island, St. John offers lots of action-packed, fun days and nights for the young at heart. But should you want to sit quietly by your villa's private pool and simply relax with your loved ones, this is also the perfect place to be. St. John (the island) and St. John's vacation villas truly have it all.
BRING PROOF of YOUR CITIZENSHIP Everyone departing St. John, even Americans, are now required by U.S. Immigration to show either a passport or a certified copy of a birth certificate accompanied by a photo ID - please don't forget these for the whole family!
Please note that The Virgin Islands Smoke-Free Act has been passed by the U.S. Virgin Islands Legislature, which bans smoking less than 20 feet from many spaces, including enclosed public places, enclosed places of employment, outdoor service or waiting lines and outdoor bus stations and public transportation platforms. Smoking also is prohibited within 20 feet of any of those locations. Keep this in mind as you enjoy your stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands!
Many adjectives have been used to describe St. John: "bucolic", "sleepy", "low-key"... this lush U.S. Virgin Island is two-thirds National Park, adding to its tropical allure. St. John villa guests have access to many modern conveniences, such as internet connections, island wedding planners, and transportation assistance.
We highly recommend that you pre-stock (provision) your villa so that you can get down to the serious business of relaxing following what's generally a long travel day, especially if you have children on hand or you have special dietary needs. This service will be invaluable, freeing you up to be embraced by your luxury villa's fine appointments and verdant surroundings.
Hire a professional chef for your St. John villa stay; you'll love the convenience! Our chefs are specially selected for their reputations, service and varied menus. Consider hosting a meal for a special occasion, or just to pamper your sweetheart or loved ones. Throw off the cares of day-to-day living and really kick back in style.
Experience an invigorating massage or other spa services on St. John! Escape to calming body wraps, sports massage, or aromatherapy to help soothe mind, body and soul. Please contact us for more information on this special service. Advance reservations highly recommended.
Sweet St. John is just one of the tropical island jewels at your disposal for seagoing fun. Below the surface is a teeming metropolis of ocean life. Enchanting sea fans and stunning coral provide a backdrop to all manner of fishes and shellfish going about their daily lives between here and British Virgin Islands such as Virgin Gorda, Norman Island and Jost Van Dyke. Dolphins may eye you with amusement, a sea turtle may paddle by on the way to lunch... under such intense observation, you just may wonder if you're the exhibit!
We know that your St. John villa is why you came, but why stay in when you can get out and discover the islands? For good, old-fashioned fun, there's no place like St. John! The island vibe reigns with plenty to do and see that's exotic and new. On the other hand, you can also take a day trip to sister island St. Thomas or visit the British Virgin Islands for a spree that will stimulate your senses. Bring your camera, your sunscreen, and your smile
