Amenities
Sealofts is a condominium community of 25 buildings on a three-acre site running from the ocean to the edge of the Royal St. Kitts Golf Club's 18th hole championship golf course. Our well maintained houses were build between 1989 and 1995.
Ocean view units are located 200 feet or less from the beach. The Pool/Garden Units are just a short walk from the beach with wonderful views of the mountains, gardens and the fresh water swimming pool. Each unit is unique. They all have ceiling fans in every room and some have central air-conditioning.
The ground floor or "pedestal level" is made of concrete and contains a shower and bathroom in most houses, and a washer and drier in every house. Each two-bedroom unit has sundecks on the second and third levels, many with expanded decks.
As shown in the floor plans, a spiral staircase takes you to the "main floor" which consists of a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining areas (with cable television), a private deck, a bedroom with double or twin beds and a full bathroom.
Another spiral staircase takes you to the "loft level" master bedroom with its own deck high above the property and a view for miles. Our Sealofts are privately owned vacation homes we use for our own vacation time.
From the subtle decorating touches to the soft pillows to the full complement of kitchen utensils, you’ll find these are personalized homes, not just "vanilla" rental units. | |
Activities
St. Kitts comes alive at night! Under starry skies, the music of the Caribbean can be heard swaying through the coconut palms. with folklore shows, calypso and steel bands, and nightly parties, no matter how late it gets, the sun never really sets on St. Kitts.
The Ocean Terrace Inn's restaurant, Fisherman's Wharf, has a live band every Friday from 8 to 10 pm on. The Monkey Bar on Frigate Bay is the friendliest beach bar on the island, and comes really alive on Friday evenings, with music starting at 9 pm and going into the wee hours.
The Turtle Beach Bar and Grill has a live steel band for their popular Sunday afternoon seafood buffet, while on Saturday it's beach disco time. On Friday and Saturday night, locals often head for J's Place, across from Brimstone Hill - the place is often jumping until the early hours.
Bayembi Cultural Entertainment Bar and Cafe, just off the Circus in Basseterre, is a hot and happening place - every Thursday is oldies night and every Friday is reggae night. Its daily happy hours pack 'em in at sunset. And a fairly new addition to the night scene is the Old Anchorage in Frigate Bay - a combination restaurant/beach bar with a disco on some evenings.

ST. KITTS DIVING
There is very good snorkelling and scuba diving. Most dive sites are on the Caribbean side of the islands, where the reef starts in shallow water and falls off to 100 feet or more. Between the two islands there is a shelf in only 25 feet of water which attracts lots of fish, including angelfish, to the corals, sea fans and sponges.
There is black coral off the southeast peninsula, coral caves, reefs and wrecks with abundant fish and other sea creatures of all sizes and colours. Off St Kitts good reefs to dive include Turtle Reef (off Shitten Bay) which is good for beginners and snorkelling, Coconut Reef in Basseterre Bay and Pump Bay by Sandy Point.
Much of the diving is suitable for novices and few of the major sites are deeper than 70 feet. Several wrecks and some other sites are actually shallow enough for very rewarding snorkelling although the very best snorkelling around St Kitts is only accessible by boat.
Snorkelling off Oualie Beach, Nevis, is excellent and also good at Nisbett Beach and Tamarind Bay. Scuba Safaris, run by Ellis Chaderton, is based at Oualie Beach. | |
