About this property

Private Pool-Huge 1BR–Ocean Views-Near Cruz Bay

Private Pool Luxury 1-Bedroom with Ocean View – Just 5 Minutes from Cruz Bay

Welcome to your private Caribbean hideaway.

This luxurious one-bedroom villa is tucked away in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood just a quick five-minute drive from the heart of Cruz Bay. With panoramic ocean views, a private pool, and curated amenities designed for romance, rest, and reconnection, this is a space where time slows down and the beauty of the island wraps around you like a warm breeze.

Designed for Connection and Comfort

The villa was fully renovated after the hurricanes and now offers both elegance and ease. Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings, warm-toned natural finishes, and a spacious open layout that lets the light in and invites you to breathe a little deeper.

The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures, featuring a 6-burner Wolf gas stove, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from fresh-caught fish to romantic candlelit meals at home.

The king-sized bedroom is calm and breezy, with soft linens, ceiling fans, and AC for those warm Caribbean nights. The ensuite bathroom is large, luxurious, and connects to two private outdoor showers—where you can rinse off under the stars or the morning sun, surrounded by tropical greenery.

**Private Pool, Ocean Views, and Sunset Magic**

Step outside onto your expansive deck where you’ll find your own private plunge pool overlooking the ocean. Lounge in the sun or float as the sky shifts from blue to gold to deep purple, watching the sun set over St. Thomas. It’s the kind of view you’ll want to toast every evening.

You’ll also find comfortable seating, loungers, and tropical landscaping around the villa. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the inside—intentionally designed to offer privacy, peace, and a deep connection to nature.

**Experiences to Make Your Stay Unforgettable**

We want your time here to feel effortless and memorable. We can help arrange everything from:

Private, in-villa chef dinners
Sunset massages on the deck
Sunrise yoga classes tailored to your pace
Island excursions or boat trips
Airport transportation or Jeep rental recommendations
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply craving solitude and beauty, we’re here to help you create the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.

**Perfect for Two (But Can Sleep More)**

This villa is ideal for one or two adults seeking a private retreat, but it can also accommodate additional guests thanks to a high-end sleeper sofa in the living area. Let us know your group size and we’ll make sure you're all comfortable.

**Close to Everything, Yet a World Away**

Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only five minutes drive from the restaurants, bars, ferry dock, and beach gear shops of Cruz Bay. Spend your days exploring North Shore beaches, hiking scenic trails in Virgin Islands National Park, or dining on fresh seafood at the water’s edge—then return to your peaceful hillside oasis.

Onsite parking is included, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace.

**Why Guests Love It Here**

Private pool with ocean and sunset views
Chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances
Two private outdoor showers
Quiet, safe residential location
Personalized concierge services
Close to Cruz Bay and beaches
Fully automated generator for power outages.

This was a lovely place to stay on St. John! Great location close to town, beautiful view, pool and outdoor shower are wonderful. Felt very safe there. Bed is comfortable but sheets slept hot. We had water pressure issues while we were there, but think it was due to one tank running low - it switched to another the morning we checked out and seemed normal. Overall would recommend!!

We stayed at the villa for 7 days, it was comfortable and spacious. Everything you would need was available from beach chairs and towels to a fully functioning kitchen. The view was amazing from the large outdoor patio/pool area where we enjoyed our morning breakfast every day and sunsets. The location was convenient to grocery stores and 5 minutes from Cruz bay and ferry’s. The host was easy to communicate with when we needed something. We would recommend having a jeep staying there since most places are not within walking distance and the terrain is very hilly. We will make a point to return in the near future.
