Castaways Villa- Steps from Beach with Kayaks

Summary:

Just a 5-minute drive from Cruz Bay, Castaways Villa provides a convenient yet tranquil retreat with spectacular views of Chocolate Hole Bay. This two-story town-house offers a spacious escape and kayaks, ideal for families or groups of friends.



The Space:

Upon entering the town-house you'll find that most of the home is centrally located on the ground floor. To the left down the entry hallway is a King bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. To the right, the heart of the home features an open floor plan with a well-appointed kitchen, a half bath, a dining area for 8, and a comfortable living room with a smart TV. Ten-foot ceilings and large glass doors leading to the patio enhance the open and airy ambiance, perfect for cooking or relaxing. You can choose to turn off the AC and enjoy the beach views and sounds or keep the doors closed to cool down after a sunny day.



As you head up the stairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms. The first features two queen beds, an en-suite bathroom, and a balcony with seating. Further down the hall, and slightly more private, is the Deluxe King Suite, which boasts a balcony with breathtaking ocean views. All bedrooms in the villa come equipped with smart TVs, ceiling fans, AC, and beautiful en-suite bathrooms.

The villa was great - well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. Location was close to beaches and town (about a 7 minute drive to Cruz Bay). Property team was communicative and helpful. We would certainly stay here again.

Holiday in Paradise

The house is located just a few yards from the beach. We could sit in the house or on the back porch and watch the water and the boats in Chocolate Hole Bay. It was great having a paddle board to take into the bay and watch the turtles swim by. The house is close to Cruz Bay and travelling to the North Shore beaches was no problem. The only drawback is the huge pit in the front of the house that was a safety concern. It needs to be filled in or fenced off,

St. John Villa Rental

Castaway Villa is a beautiful, new property. The rooms are spacious and everything is new. We found it hard to find as it is in a nondescript area and the entrance road is not marked. There is a beach area but the Villa is not on a beach front. Had beach equipment, an electric grill, outdoor seating, and resident iguanas right outside our door! Convenient location.

Fabulous Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Casta Villa. The condo was beautifully decorated. The bedrooms were fabulous as well as the main living space. We loved paddle boarding right off the beach. There is wildlife everywhere, iguanas, DEER, hermit crabs and more. The location is perfect too! So many beautiful memories were made here. We Look forward to staying again.
