Romantic 1BR Oasis – Private Pool, Ocean Views, Near Cruz Bay

Private Pool Luxury 1-Bedroom with Ocean View – Just 5 Minutes from Cruz Bay

Welcome to your private Caribbean hideaway.

This luxurious one-bedroom villa is tucked away in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood just a quick five-minute drive from the heart of Cruz Bay. With panoramic ocean views, a private pool, and curated amenities designed for romance, rest, and reconnection, this is a space where time slows down and the beauty of the island wraps around you like a warm breeze.

Designed for Connection and Comfort

The villa was fully renovated after the hurricanes and now offers both elegance and ease. Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings, warm-toned natural finishes, and a spacious open layout that lets the light in and invites you to breathe a little deeper.

The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures, featuring a 6-burner Wolf gas stove, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from fresh-caught fish to romantic candlelit meals at home.

The king-sized bedroom is calm and breezy, with soft linens, ceiling fans, and AC for those warm Caribbean nights. The ensuite bathroom is large, luxurious, and connects to two private outdoor showers—where you can rinse off under the stars or the morning sun, surrounded by tropical greenery.

**Private Pool, Ocean Views, and Sunset Magic**

Step outside onto your expansive deck where you’ll find your own private plunge pool overlooking the ocean. Lounge in the sun or float as the sky shifts from blue to gold to deep purple, watching the sun set over St. Thomas. It’s the kind of view you’ll want to toast every evening.

You’ll also find comfortable seating, loungers, and tropical landscaping around the villa. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the inside—intentionally designed to offer privacy, peace, and a deep connection to nature.

**Experiences to Make Your Stay Unforgettable**

We want your time here to feel effortless and memorable. We can help arrange everything from:

Private, in-villa chef dinners
Sunset massages on the deck
Sunrise yoga classes tailored to your pace
Island excursions or boat trips
Airport transportation or Jeep rental recommendations
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply craving solitude and beauty, we’re here to help you create the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.

**Perfect for Two (But Can Sleep More)**

This villa is ideal for one or two adults seeking a private retreat, but it can also accommodate additional guests thanks to a high-end sleeper sofa in the living area. Let us know your group size and we’ll make sure you're all comfortable.

**Close to Everything, Yet a World Away**

Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only five minutes drive from the restaurants, bars, ferry dock, and beach gear shops of Cruz Bay. Spend your days exploring North Shore beaches, hiking scenic trails in Virgin Islands National Park, or dining on fresh seafood at the water’s edge—then return to your peaceful hillside oasis.

Onsite parking is included, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace.

**Why Guests Love It Here**

Private pool with ocean and sunset views
Chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances
Two private outdoor showers
Quiet, safe residential location
Personalized concierge services
Close to Cruz Bay and beaches
Fully automated generator for power outages.
Post-hurricane renovation with luxury touches throughout

If you're dreaming of an island escape where you can fully exhale, sink into comfort, and reconnect with yourself or your loved one, we invite you to make this your home away from home.

Hannah was kind, super helpful, and quick with communication! Plenty of supplies were provided such as dishwasher detergent, beach towels, extra paper towels, etc., which was nice as those things can be hard to find/expensive on the island! Overall the rental was clean, well-equipped, and the pool/deck area was wonderful.

We stayed at the villa for 7 days, it was comfortable and spacious. Everything you would need was available from beach chairs and towels to a fully functioning kitchen. The view was amazing from the large outdoor patio/pool area where we enjoyed our morning breakfast every day and sunsets. The location was convenient to grocery stores and 5 minutes from Cruz bay and ferry’s. The host was easy to communicate with when we needed something. We would recommend having a jeep staying there since most places are not within walking distance and the terrain is very hilly. We will make a point to return in the near future.

Absolutely perfect 10/10 place for us to celebrate our anniversary! The villa setting has stunning views of the water with a huge patio to enjoy a meal outside, a dip in the pool or relaxing on the lounge chairs. We had everything we needed and couldn’t imagine a better place for us on this vacation to St. John!

Better than advertised! The place was clean, neat and very comfortable. The part of the advertisement that is hard to describe in words is the peace that this place brings. It was actually a coin toss whether we would stay at the home and sit by the pool all day or go to the beach. When you are competing with the best beaches in the world, this is quite the statement! The privacy and peace that this home brings is priceless. The host was always available and responsive. As this was the first time to the island, our intent was to look at other options while we were there for next time. Didn't even bother with that. Perfectly content. Its not a matter of if but rather when we will be back! Thanks to everyone from the host to the cleaners for the GREAT experience!

We had the best stay - the bed was very comfortable, kitchen well-equipped and the living area was cozy. We loved the private pool for afternoons after the beach with views of Cruz Bay, and the outdoor shower was great. Hannah was so accommodating and helpful. Looking forward to staying here again - 5 stars.
