About this property

Our simple but comfortable Villa caters to guests who are ECO-FRIENDLY, adventurous and minimalist because we utilize sustainable energy (backed up by batteries and the grid) and monitor responsible use of energy, water, cleaning agents and recycling. A 15 minute slow drive along a quiet and winding road from the ferry in Cruz Bay will bring you to this idyllic island setting. Situated barely above the treetops and merely a 60 second dash to a secluded beach, lies the vacation home you will want to revisit. This secluded, spacious Villa features Thai decor, tropical pastels, lush vegetation and private pool and hot tub. It promotes outdoor living, socializing and simply Being. It offers a wooded trail guarded by deer, birds and crabs reaching a pristine beach within 2-5 minutes walking. Strolling further along the beach brings one to sugar mill ruins, mountain trails to petroglyphs and several additional quiet beaches. In keeping with the St.John focus on sustainability, the Villa offers opportunity for adults and children to learn about the solar alternative energy, water conservation and the unique flora and fauna. Plan on lying in bed each morning with sunrise views over the hills and sea, listening to the breaking surf. Enjoy views of the ocean during the day from all parts of the Villa including the pool and hot tub. Swim, snorkel, surf, sunbathe privately or take a hike right below the Villa into the National Park. Evenings gather on the balcony for breezes, sunset hues from billowing clouds, sails and sunny faces! Keywords: House Villa

Holiday 2024

The house was secluded and well appointed. The owner and the concierge were great and responsive. It has great charm with excellent veiws of the bay. I woke up every morning to an amazing sunrise. And went to sleep every night with the moonrise! And the stars are incredible!!! As others have said the outdoor areas are small for socializing but we made it work. The path to the beach is precarious so proper shoes are a must! If you are prone to mosquitoe bites bringing proper clothing and bug spray is extremely important. The way the house is open air they get inside, even with screens. The owner had spray and a few candles that where helpful. The house is in the woods so this is expected. Just be prepared. I can't think of anything the house didn't have that we needed. Great memories were made and we would definitely consider staying here again!

Unplug and just relax

Wonderful property in an especially rare setting. The park that borders the property is filled with amazing wildlife and great hiking trails. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to truly unplug while only being 15 minutes from Cruz bay.

Spent a week at the Reef Bay Villa with my husband and four adult children and this home suited us perfectly. it was spacious, clean and well equipped. The view is amazing. It was a perfect home base for our national park adventure.

Beautiful view

We just had a wonderful week at this villa. Everything was great and as described in the description on the listing. The beach down below is awesome with very few people if any.. it is located about 20 minutes fromCruz Bay. Three couples stayed, and it was very comfortable. Very breezy location so we didn’t need air conditioning at night which was nice to listen to the service and the birds. We will be back!
