Island Amenities and Activities

St John is an island of less than 5000 permanent residents, that maintains a village-like ambiance. The Virgin Islands National Park covering almost two-thirds of St. John preserves and protects its natural beauty with many beautiful white-sand beaches, grand views and hiking trails.

Tennis, sailing, power boating, sea kayaking, scuba diving and excellent snorkeling are all nearby. A five minute drive takes you to Cruz Bay, where you can meander the streets for excellent shopping, full service grocery stores, fine dining, and local flavor.

St. John’s location makes island hopping easy. Ferries run frequently to St. Thomas and to the British Islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke.

Fly into St. Thomas and take a taxi van to the St. Thomas ferry for the 20 minute ferry ride that begins your relaxation before your arrival in Cruz Bay, St. John. You will be greeted at the Cruz Bay ferry dock by our friendly and knowledgeable manager who will then escort you to the house and be on call during your stay.

Our vacation villa is offered through the homeowner,
making it more affordable for you.
