This villa is stunning! The open-air main living area with the view of Great Cruz Bay and the private sunset viewing from the villa’s main floor overlooking the pool is something you’ll be talking about for years!
The villa is less than a 15-minute drive from Cruz Bay, and has easy access to the main roads to the north shore beaches, Coral Bay, or the East End. The villa is located in a gated community, which provides a sense of security with the open-air concept. No need to worry about birds, critters, or bugs in the open-air living spaces. They don’t come into the villa (at least in February)! We ate dinner at the dining room table, made meals, and enjoyed every minute we could look out over the bay without any interference from mother nature. Even when it rained at night, we didn’t have any issues.
The bedrooms, bathrooms, and laundry area are behind solid doors. There are two bedrooms on the main level and one on the lower level with an outside entrance.Anybody who stays in the lower bedroom will have to walk down the driveway or around the outside of the house to get there.Not a big deal, but be aware of this if you have people who may have trouble walking up and down a slight incline.
The pool was well-kept and the outside bar was well stocked with alcohol. I recommend you check the available alcohol at the villa before you purchase anything to make drinks. You may be lucky and have free soda/pop, beer, mixer, or cider in the fridge. Remember to check the pantry or spices in the cabinets before you buy any staples.
The villa had six beach chairs, which was great for the three couples we had in our group. There is a limited amount of snorkel gear, but I recommend you rent from one of the local shops (we rented from Beach Bum).
If this is your first time staying in St John, the Starfish grocery store is on the way to the villa from Cruz Bay. It has a good variety of food for gluten-free or vegan eaters, and has a wide variety of alcohol. If you can’t find something at Starfish, you could try the Dolphin grocery store (on the same route to the villa).
The five-star management team quickly answered questions and was easy to get in touch with via text during our stay. Everybody we met on the team was professional making the stay even more enjoyable.
