Welcome to Villa Island Paradise!

This property is the brainchild of the esteemed local architect Glenn Speer, known for his work on Mongoose Junction in St. John. It features an open design philosophy that fosters a seamless connection with the natural world. In a distinctive move to preserve its aesthetic, the penthouse's living room is outfitted with screen doors instead of windows, ensuring protection while keeping with the design theme. Fans are thoughtfully placed throughout to offer a cool and comfortable environment, enhancing the welcoming and lively feel of the space, especially in the shared living room/kitchen area.

For your added convenience, each bedroom is equipped with a window air conditioning unit, ensuring a comfortable retreat. However, please note that there is no AC in the living room or kitchen; instead, ceiling fans and portable fans are provided to maintain comfort in these open-concept areas.

Our charming vacation rental is ideally located just a 7-minute walk away from the ferry dock, giving you easy access to all the best attractions and activities on the island.

Other things to note:
Cruz Bay is the lively and bustling main town of St. John, located in the US Virgin Islands, and is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. The picturesque harbor is filled with sailboats of all sizes, adding to the charm and beauty of the area.

Most visitors to St. John first arrive in Cruz Bay via ferry, which provides stunning views of the island and surrounding waters. Once ashore, you'll find plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options to explore. From local markets and fresh produce stands to upscale restaurants and boutiques, there's something for everyone in Cruz Bay.

For adventure-seekers, there are countless opportunities to book land or sea-based excursions. Take your pick from boat rentals, guided tours, parasailing, kayaking, dinghy rentals, day sails, snorkeling trips, Hobie cats, or even get certified for scuba-diving.

Despite all the hustle and bustle, getting around Cruz Bay is easy and convenient. Open-air taxis are readily available, shuttling beach-goers back and forth during the day, as well as offering sightseeing tours to all the beaches and points of interest on St. John.

Our vacation rental is conveniently located just a short walk to Cruz Bay, giving you easy access to all the excitement and adventure the town has to offer. Come join us and live the dream in beautiful St. John!

Insects are present on the island and the additional rain this year has created more presence of gnats and other pests. With your help in keeping the doors shut, we try our best to minimize their presence inside the unit by using pest control services. You may also experience the impact of the Saharan dust in the units from time to time.

Great Location and Beautiful View

This location was amazing! Great view of the sea-easily walkable to restaurants. One just watch out is that it does back up to a main road occasionally used by trucks which can make the walk a bit hairy. I wouldn’t recommend with young kids but for older teens and adults in good shape easy to navigate. Just remember to pull all the way over and keep an eye on cars moving down the hill. Otherwise the place is very well appointed and nice. Also keep in mind since it is outdoor living style if it’s hot it will be hot! lol. We hit a heat wave and it was very hot. There are windows AC units in the bedrooms only. Otherwise loved our stay and the spot!

Condo for adult eco-tourists.

We are also VRBO owners, so in our humble opinion- this place should not be marketed as luxury. Prepare to be surprised as one receives a check-in email (~1 hr before the actual arrival) that the entire property does not have drinkable water (the supposedly bottle water has never materialized); you need to use electricity responsibly and will be charged for excessive usage. That was a joke, I would much appreciate a heads up that island has power outage instead. There is no onsite garbage collection, and you will need to walk outside the property. It's not a big deal, but it's not “luxurious or charming” by any means. (One will get the note that if trash is left upon one, it will incur a $500 fee.) There is About a 4-plus-hour outage daily, two days straight, while it is island-wide. Anything to mitigate would be nice—no battery-operated fans, flashlights, etc. The walk to the beach is about 30 min - not a big deal for adults, but I would not walk with little kids, in some cases no side walks. The property is a bit of a mismatch- leaving room and deck really nicely furnished. Bathrooms need a bit of TLC.
