Located in Cruz Bay, this charming condo for $907 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Perched into the hill 150ft above Rendezvous Bay, our property has one of the best views on St. John despite being only a quick, easy 4 minute drive from Starfish in town. 6 King Beds, 2 Queen beds and a bunk bed (twin over full plus trundle) Flexible rates based on group size/bedrooms. Rent 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms with beds for a total of 18. The other bedrooms will remain locked but empty, you will always be the only guests. The house is of concrete and natural stone build. It was acquired pre-Irma as an unfinished property, the foundation, cistern and main level is pre-Marylin construction, the upper level, roof and pool level is brand new post-Irma construction. It is a 15x30ft infinity pool and 5 foot deep, one of the largest private pools on St. John with one of the best pool views on St. John. There is a large hot tub build into the corner of the pool with a 2hp pump and blower. The pool bbq area is on Western side of pool and under the living room. It is sheltered from the elements you will comfortably cool out of the sun and wind. Even during strong thunderstorms where can rain sideways here you will stay dry (unlike some gazebos style sitting areas). For cold nights, the gas firepit will keep you warm and cozy While the pool is brand new designed for a fanatastic vacation the main level feels more like a large family home with a simple, modern decor and a lot of practical things (like entertainment, high end mattresses, beach toys, kitchen utensils & things like high end espresso machine, hot dog toaster, sandwich maker, smart lighting, superfast wifi, coolers, blue ice, ice maker, book and dvd collection) vs. having elaborate high end finishes. There are no carved Mahagony bedposts or flowery bedskirts or fragile artisan China or expensive pottery masterpieces. I return there is less stuff to worry about that kids could break. They can run free and be as loud as they want. There are large decks on both sides of the pool, the left hand side has a platform that can be used for sleeping or yoga, the right hand side is a large deck with 8 chaise lounges. The pool is facing east, taking maximum advantage of view and trade winds, you will not be hot in the sun and there also is a covered wet bar, blender and coffee maker. For those very hot days (or cool nights) there is a sitting area on the other side of pool that is below the concrete of the main house. It features a fridge, freezer, professional grade bbq and a propane fire pit. It is protected from wind, sun and rain. There is one bedroom and a large bathroom on the pool level, the bathroom has double shower and double vanity and can easily handle large groups coming back from beach wanting to swim, shower and use the hot tub. The other bedrooms are on the main level one level up from the pool, you have to walk up about 50 steps on an incline over the front lawn or river pebbles in concrete path. It is not suitable for people with limited mobility. Families with young kids like the fact that the kids can’t escape to the pool via an open slider (a parent has to open the heavy front door), families with older kids enjoy privacy and peace on the large 37ft upstairs patio off the main living room while the kids have fun in the pool area. Aside from the 37ft patio there are 2 more patios on the main level, both over 20ft wide (one facing east one facing south) so even in a large group you can find a quiet place to read and you always have a choice between sun and shade. There is always a good breeze blowing at hour property that keeps you cool and the mosquitos away. You can sit outside without being hot or eaten alive by mosquitos. 90-95% of the time the wind is nice to have, 5-10% of the time the wind is a little strong and you may hear it howling. For the odd days with no wind (or wind/rain forcing you to close windows) we have state of the art inverter window A/C units in the bedroom for a good nights sleep. The majority of our guests does not need A/C and our pricing is based on occasional/night time use only. The property is all about indoor/outdoor living with the sliders open and a gentle breeze flowing through the house. There are simply too many doors and windows to always open and close everything. If you prefer to sit inside with the A/C set to 65 degrees this is not the right place for you. We can offer this property at a reasonable price as we the owners live on the same property with a separate entrance up the hill. We have our own pool and hot tub up there. Privacy is very important to us, we will not hear or see what is going on in the guest unit and you will normally not see us unless I am watering the plants in the front yard when you get back from beach. We can normally respond faster to issues and questions compared to villa management services that have many properties in their portfolio and a long drive to get to them. 3 indoor/outdoor cats live on property, one is curious and might come and great you in the front yard the other 2 are usually invisible for guests. They are not allowed inside the guest unit. We cater to groups of friends or families traveling together but no wedding parties or yoga retreats, please. Bedroom details below.

We have been through 2 cat 5 hurricanes and care about the planet. Our hot tub is very energy hungry and design was prioritized over efficiency of a plastic bomber insert. We try to make up for it in other areas: - The pool pump is a solar powered Lorentz running completely off the sun. The pool is filtered for 8 hours when the sun shines. The infinity pump is solar powered as well but there is electrical back up to pump water back after sun is down. - The rental unit has 52 solar panels on net metering that produce 1.3MWh per month. The owner unit has its own panels and is completely solar powered. This remains a goal for the rental unit eventually. - Portable Solar Generator 2000w / 2000wH in guest unit for short or night time outages will run espresso machine, microwave or hairdryer - 3 separate trash bins in the kitchen if you would like to recycle plastic and cans we are happy to drop them off at island green living for you. Currently no recycling for glass or cardboard on St. John. - Reverse osmosis drinking water filters in kitchen and by pool plus a water cooler with 2x 5 gallon jugs by pool, no need to buy small plastic bottles - We provide Bamboo toilet paper made from responsibly sourced bamboo, ensuring a minimal impact on the environment. - We do not provide paper towels or single use cutlery/cups. Paper towels as still made from virgin forest fibers and cannot be recycled. We provide a ton of microfiber cloths that can be washed and re-used. - Stage 3 Grey water from the septic is re-used for irrigation no precious fresh water (which is rain water collected from roof) is wasted to water the lawn or plants.
