Cay Syrah is perfect for a multi-generational family vacation as it is a handicap accessible house with a grand, and gracious ramp connecting the top two levels. The Villa was designed to accommodate the mobility challenged and features accessible bathrooms with easy entry no-curb showers that also have seats, grab bars, and both a fixed head and hand-held shower. While not fully ADA compliant, very few villas (if any) on St. John can compare with Cay Syrah’s accessibility.
This 6-bedroom villa (4 kings, 2 twins and 1 bunk) with 5,000 square feet of air conditioned indoor space on three floors, fits a group of 12 comfortably. Cay Syrah also has 1,200 square feet of covered outdoor space, 800 square feet of sunny pool deck with outdoor kitchen, and a surprise 800 square foot roof top sun/stargazing deck. Accessed from the main level balcony, this finished deck measures nearly 20’ x 40’ and is equipped with chaise lounge chairs. The height of the railings were increased to 4 feet to make even the most height-adverse guest comfortable.
The chef’s kitchen features custom mahogany cabinets, granite counter tops, a separate full-sized refrigerator and full-sized freezer, a double oven and 5 burner gas cook-top, and 2 full-sized dishwashers. The kitchen island is topped with a beautiful onyx slab. The dining room is anchored by a beautiful table with seating for 12. There are also may options for outdoor dining allowing you to enjoy the view and gentle breeze.
The master bedroom located on the first floor, has a king bed, large under-bed safe, and en-suite bathroom with a large, no-curb shower and double sink vanity. The bathroom is wheelchair accessible and includes several well positioned grab bars and a full seat in the shower.
A uniquely designed interior stairway, covered exterior stairs from the deck, and a graciously sloped exterior ramp all lead to the mid-level which has three more en-suite bedrooms, pool, outdoor kitchen, and guest laundry room. Two of these bedrooms are set up with king-sized beds with the third set up with two twins which can be converted to a king as needed. Each bathroom has a no-curb shower, again for ease of entry should additional guests require handicap accessibility. The outdoor kitchen by the pool area, has an outdoor television for viewing while your in the saltwater pool. Access to the pool area has gates installed at critical entry points so that the pool can be made off limits for younger guests.
The lower level of the house, the garden apartment, is not handicap accessible. Access to this level is by exterior stairs either from the driveway or the pool deck. The garden level apartment has one king bedroom, one small bunk bedroom, a great room with multiple sofas, full kitchen, dining room and one bathroom. It’s a great place for a small family with children or any guests seeking a bit more privacy.
