About this villa rental

Five minutes from the bustling center of Cruz Bay, you will find a secluded, landscaped retreat in Contant Farm called Argonauta. With 5 spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, you will wake up each morning to spectacular ocean views. Have your coffee on the wrap around deck, sporting a 270 degree panorama of the Caribbean Sea. Then head to St John's famous North Shore beaches, just 15 minutes away. Finish the day playing in Argonauta's plunge pool or having a fun cocktail at the fully equipped pool bar. As the day ends, head to the hot tub to soak and watch the glorious Argonauta sunsets. When you are ready for dinner, make use of a well-equipped full chef's kitchen or head down to Cruz Bay. Despite Argonauta's privacy, you're just a short drive from the town center. Argonauta has two king dbedroom suites in the main house. The lower main house bedroom is large enough to accommodate an additional crib or air mattress for littler guests. Its bathroom has a full outdoor shower enclosed in a screened stone grotto. The upper main house bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase and has its own bathroom with shower. In addition to the bedroom, it has an office nook with a mahogany desk facing the sea. Two more king bedrooms are found in the adjacent guest house, each with magnificent views, stone showers and hammocks to soothe your soul. The fifth king bedroom with en suite bathroom is tucked away off the pool deck and contains a LifeFitness Elliptical trainer and desk. As for dining al fresco, there is a wrap -around deck on the west side of the main house. It's a great spot for dining and viewing sunsets, or watching ships large and small glide towards St Thomas and its glittering lights in the distance. Argonauta should be called Argonauta 2.0. It suffered massive damage from the 2017 hurricanes, and has been completely rebuilt by master builder Jonathan Doran. All its decks, fixtures and amenities are new and state of the art, from a new chef's kitchen with wine refrigerator, all new Mitsubishi air-conditioners throughout, to a completely rebuilt pool deck, with bar, pool and hot tub. For entertainment, if you wish to take a break from star gazing to stream a movie, a professional grade internet system reaches every room in the house as well as the decks. Or everyone can gather in the Great Room and watch together on the 50 inch smart TV. Happily, one thing has not changed. The view, enjoyed by so many guests over the years, could not be destroyed by the storms, and remains as breathtaking as ever. The price is based on the number of people who occupy the property. Nightly rate is based on a 1-4 occupancy. Each additional guest above 4 is charged a per person per nights fee. Please enter the correct TOTAL number of guests including children when booking the property. Only paying guests are allowed on the property.

Our group of 9 had a wonderful stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. There was plenty of room for all of us- grandchildren, parents, uncle, and grandparents. We had space to gather and spend time together, and space to have quiet time after days at the beach. The road and driveway are tricky to navigate, but that seems to be common on St John. The hot tub wasn’t working during our stay, but everything else was perfect!

Our family couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The views were absolutely amazing. The kitchen, pool, hot tub made it a perfect getaway. All pics were accurate. No disappointments.

This was our second stay at Argonauta. The view, as well as the privacy is exceptional. I would highly recommend renting a vehicle while staying at this property as it is up a very steep hill at the end of a long, private drive. We had one minor issue with a non-working electrical outlet that the management company resolved within the hour. The management company was equally efficient when we notified them that there was not a blender on site and they delivered one to us with the hour. Other than a missing blender the kitchen is well appointed and there was a nice welcome basket upon our arrival containing a variety of cold salads. It would be nice if the unit included coffee and sugar, at least to have for the first morning or two, if one cannot get to the market right away. It did seem that some of the bed linens and towels were showing a lot of wear and could use replacing. The living room sofa is also showing some wear and was not overly comfortable. The ice maker didn't work and I recall the same issue on our last visit, but there were ice trays provided. Overall a very nice place to stay and we would stay again.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Argonauta. The views are wonderful and the house was well thought out and decorated and had an amazingly equipped kitchen (the private chef loved that too). TS Earl kept us home a day or so and the property really made that fun. We've stayed in the Contant area several times so we always like the proximity to Cruz Bay. Already looking forward to a return visit.

Loved this house and view. Was perfect for our family of all adults. Might have been tricky with little ones. Two bedrooms in the main house and the rest were separate. Great location! Very responsive property managers!
