Comfortable by design
The location and architecture are deliberate and designed to allow the tropical trade winds to provide constant cooling. High clerestories allow the warmer air to flow up and out of the house. Satinwood is designed from the ground up with nature, this precise location, the topology, and the local tradewinds as critical features.
Open airy and comfortable
The great room, three master suites and two lofts all combine to form an open, airy and comfortable living space.
The kitchen is well provisioned with cooking supplies for those that prefer to dine in at times. Visiting and local chefs have also enjoyed the spacious kitchen.
Please remember that Satinwood is first and foremost our family vacation home. We share it because we love the place, the Coral Bay community and the island of St. John.
Please let us know how we can help.
Two main floor master suites
Each main level bedroom consists of one king size bed, complete bathroom, plus ladder accessible loft with two twin beds (suitable for ages 6 and up).
The pool-side bedroom also has a separate entrance from the pool deck into the shower.
Lower level apartment with separate entrance
The lower level is a complete apartment with full bath, kitchen, and king size bed.
Please note that we do not, at this time, rent the apartment separately. It is only used as an additional bedroom, when needed.

The lofts are accessed by fixed ladders.
There is little view visible from the lofts. The windows in the lofts face the sides and driveway side of the house. The view is easily visible from all other rooms.
The Pool, Pool Deck and View
Outside on the sunny pool deck, lounge chairs and umbrella table make for the perfect vacation day or evening.
It can be mesmerizing to watch the clouds and shadows as they morph over the water and hills.
Solar power
Satinwood is solar powered; free from ties to the island's utilities. The solar panel arrays, storage battery bank and backup generator provide reliable and earth-friendly energy. The house power is so much like normal US-stateside electrical service that many of our guests never even notice the off-grid operation.
Water collection and management
The unique design of Satinwood's energy and water system provides year-round comfort. Even during times of periodic drought, the massive water collection area, three huge cisterns, use of composting toilet systems, and an LED ultra-violet drinking water tap in the kitchen assure plenty of fresh, clean water for drinking, washing, and of course, relaxing in the cool swimming pool.
Composting toilets
Satinwood employs massive, commercial Clivus Multrum composting toilets. The commodes are luxury yacht or RV style ultra low flush units. The system does use a power venting system. No guest servicing or maintenance is required. Guests may never even be aware there are composting units downstairs.
