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.

Absolutely stunning property - the views, the clean and comfortable space, the privacy, and amenities were all perfect. Our flight home ended up getting cancelled and the host was so gracious in accommodating us. We would give this place 6/5 stars if we could!
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.
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!
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!

thank you for the kind review Claire and your patience while we fixed the leak!
Wonderful place, amazing views, we had everything we needed and were within 10minutes of town. Will say, roads are steep. You need a sturdy vehicle. But worth the climb no doubt! We will be back!

Thank you Brooke for the kind comments and Happy Anniversary!
We absolutely loved the views this property provided. The private pool and outdoor pool shower were wonderful. Being high on the hill overlooking the island was fantastic. The interior was well cleaned and updated as well. Thanks to Hannah for her wonderful hospitality. She was great with recommendations as well.
Hannah was great and easy to communicate with during our stay. The place was located close to Cruz Bay with nice views over St. John! Would definitely stay here again. Definitely recommend renting a jeep to explore the island!
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.
We spent 4 nights at Paradise Found, and it was perfect! Not only was the place exactly as described in the listing, it was comfortable, private, easy to find and close to everything. The little touches were great - towels for beach and pool, smart TV with access - and had us looking forward to coming back to relax after a day on the beach. The restaurants that Hannah recommended were delicious - we tried Tap & Still, La Tapa, Morgan's Mango and the STJ Speakeasy. So good! Definitely a place we'd come back to again and again!

This place is amazing. Clean, beautiful and amazing views.
I highly recommend for a couple. Love everything about this place. Can't wait to go back. St John is a beautiful island, people are so nice, and beaches are gorgeous.

About the host
Hosted by Hannah Jones
Hi, I’m Hannah, owner of Dream Life Properties and The Garden of Eden Cottage Collection! Originally from the island of Kauai, I’ve been lucky to call beautiful St. John home for the past 20 years. With a lifelong background in hospitality—including 13 years managing and selling timeshares at the Westin St. John—I know what it takes to help people feel welcome, relaxed, and at home in paradise.
I LOVE everything about island life: lazy beach days, early hikes in the hills, and sharing great meals at our incredible local restaurants. Whether you're here to explore the trails, swim in our turquoise waters, or simply unwind in the sunshine, I’m happy to share local tips to help make your stay unforgettable.
I want my guests to feel the same peace and beauty that drew me to St. John in the first place—and I’m here if you need anything during your stay!
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peace and privacy, while still being just a five-minute drive to Cruz Bay, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and all the island’s energy.
This one bedroom is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small, thoughtfully curated collection of rentals tucked into a safe, quiet hillside neighborhood. It’s ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly home base. Whether you're here for your very first trip to St. John or returning for a soulful island reset, we’ve designed the space to feel welcoming, easy, and grounded.
The neighborhood itself is residential and peaceful, just next door to The Hills—one of the most beautiful villa communities on island. From here, it’s an easy drive to the National Park beaches, trails, and Cruz Bay nightlife, but when you return home, it feels like a gentle exhale..
What makes this property unique
What makes this space truly special is the way it feels the moment you arrive—calm, open, and deeply nourishing.
This private pool villa is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small, soulful collection of thoughtfully designed rentals nestled into a peaceful residential neighborhood just minutes from Cruz Bay. Unlike a hotel or a generic rental, this place has heart. It's ideal for couples or solo travelers craving beauty, privacy, and space to breathe.
From the ocean-view pool to the outdoor showers tucked into tropical greenery, every element has been chosen with care and intention. Whether you're watching the sunset over St. Thomas from your deck or cooking a slow, delicious dinner with a private chef, you’ll feel the quiet magic that lives here.
We know not everyone is looking for something huge or flashy. Sometimes what you really want is a serene, well-loved space that gives you room to slow down and reconnect—with nature, your partner, or yourself. We especially love hosting guests who are celebrating something meaningful or simply seeking peace between adventures.
You’ll have all the privacy you need, but I’m nearby if you ever want local tips or help with anything. After nearly two decades living on St. John, I love sharing the kinds of recommendations you won’t find in a guidebook—hidden beaches, off-the-radar hikes, the best cocktails, or a quiet spot to watch the moon rise.
There are beautiful places all over this island. But what sets this one apart is the soul it carries. It’s not just luxurious—it’s alive with warmth, light, and welcome. A place you’ll want to return to the moment you leave.
