About this property

Catch the Breeze at Surfside: Beach Hikes, Poolside Bliss, and Hot Tub Heaven

DESCRIPTION: Surfside is a charming, 3 bedroom 3 bath home with a pool and hot tub. This beautiful villa offers an attractive Mediterranean design, featuring beautiful stone walls, antique brick patios and a French terra cotta tiled roof. With it's white trim and yellow exterior, it is a bright ray of sunshine, amidst the lush green surrounding hillside. The home was built on a sloping hillside and uses three floors to create an atmosphere of privacy and comfort.

When you enter the villa, you walk into the great room, which includes your living, dining, and kitchen areas. This open floor plan offers guests the opportunity to be together, to enjoy every moment and create those once in a lifetime memories. A screened sliding glass door opens on to your upper deck, where you will enjoy the warm tropical trade winds and endless views looking out to the Reef Bay area and beyond. The 3 bedrooms are located on different levels of the home. One bedroom (queen bed) is located on the main level and the second bedroom (king) is accessed up an interior staircase. This arrangement works perfectly should you be traveling with younger children. The 3rd bedroom (king) is the most private, and it accessed by an exterior staircase off the pool level. All 3 bedrooms have a/c and en-suite bathrooms.

The pool, sun deck and hot tub are located on the lower level of the villa. Here you will enjoy relaxing in the sun and going for a dip in your refreshing pool. Just a few stairs up from the sun deck, your hot tub awaits.. you are sure to enjoy the massaging jets after a busy day of exploring.

One of the highlights of this home is the access to Reef Bay. From the pool level, there are stairs that take you down the initial hillside and then it is a hike through the vegetation to the beach. During your hike you can hear birds chirping, tree frogs singing and you may even see an iguana or tiny gecko. All are sights and sounds of nature in the Caribbean. Reef Bay Beach is a beautiful beach to walk along as it tends to be quite peaceful, especially in the morning, as you listen to the surf and contemplate your day.

Surfside is perfect for families, couples, honeymooners, and anyone looking for a fun island retreat.

LOCATION: Surfside enjoys a pristine location on the very edge of the undeveloped National Park lands at Reef Bay. The tranquilizing and unspoiled views from Surfside include the turquoise seas and the jade green forests of the south shore National Park. It's an easy walk on a private path to the often-deserted white sand beach that offers snorkeling, swimming and beach combing. There are only 5 homes on this hard-to-find road to the beach, and this contributes to a very peaceful and quiet location that is blessed with great natural beauty. Despite its end of the world feel, Surfside is only a four mile drive from the restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay. Reef Bay remains a wonderful and still secret location that tourists rarely discover.

LIVING & DINING: The cathedral ceilings, rose tiled floors and furniture create a tropical atmosphere in the intimate living area. A stereo and flat screen cable TV supply the electronic entertainment.

Surfside offers two dining locations, both with romantic ocean views. The interior teak dining table seats 6 comfortably, as does the beautiful, outdoor teak dining table located on the oceanfront deck.

KITCHEN: The cook's kitchen features marble countertops, a farm sink, and professional stainless steel appliances, including a four-burner dual-fuel stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, drip coffee maker, and all cooking and dining accessories. A gas barbeque is located on the patio and the washer and dryer are located on the lower level.

BEDROOMS: All three bedrooms are similar in size and furnishings and all offer good privacy, air conditioning and great ocean views. The bedroom on the main level (queen bed) has French doors that open to a small deck. The upper bedroom (king) also has a small deck with lovely views. The lower level bedroom (king bed) is off the pool deck. Each bedroom has an attractive adjoining tiled bath and shower.

Great Villa!

We enjoyed our stay at Surfside. The pool and hot tub were a great hit with our family after our days out at the beaches. The walk down to the beach was great as well. The kitchen had everything you need to make meals. They provided beach chairs, towels, and coolers which was very helpful. We would stay here again.

Surfside Getaway

We had a great time on our St. John vacation. The communication with the property manager was spot on and the people who met us to show us around the property were very knowledgeable and friendly. The house was clean. We did not feel like the hot tub was useable because it did not appear to be very clean. The pool was nice, however, the trees around the area were overgrown and covering our view of the beautiful water.

Surfside review.

We had a wonderful stay. The location allowed a quick walk to the beach, although we did all of our swimming and snorkeling on the other side of the island in calmer water. With an eastern view, the sunrises will beautiful. The villa comfortably accommodated 3 adult couples. It would not be suitable for a family with young children as the bedrooms are on 3 different levels. Convenient to Cruz Bay without the traffic and congestion. It was very peaceful. We hope to be able to organize a return visit.

On the edge of paradise

Our stay at Reef Bay was lovely. The property is literally on the edge of the National Park on the last Bay before public lands. Houses on the bay are few as compared to the rest of the island and the house itself is situatated perfectly to maximize both views and privacy. Few other houses are visible from the house and the elevation from the beach (around a 5 minute walk down a rough trail) offers stunning sea and coastal views. The house itself is well equipped for cooking, very comfortably appointed, and just right for groups of 3-6. Pretty little pool and jacuzzi much appreciated. The jacuzzi was not well maintained but was operational. I know the island well and don't think there's a better location than Reef Bay other than possibly East End for those who seek remoteness. The greeter did not know the house well and was not able to provide basic information about beach access, swimming safety (an issue given surf and urchins). The fridge froze our precious St Thomas groceries, which was unfortunate for veggies and fruit given the cost of St John food shopping. All in all, a special place that we'd strongly recommend

Beautiful night sky

This home is managed by Caribbean Villas and Resorts and we could not have been more impressed with the level of service they provided. The house itself offers a stunning view of endless ocean. There is a relatively easy and maintained path from the house to the water. Although it it possible to bring along a (provided) beach chair and enjoy your own quiet slice of ocean, we chose not to as the beach is rocky and there are sea urchins living between the rocks. Also, St. John offers several stunning white sand beaches that we thought were a more pleasant way to spend a day. The house is clean, open and airy. Some of the windows were not working but we were informed that the owners were planning on addressing this issue. We found that the sliders and doors to the decks along with the wonderful ocean breezes provided more than enough ventilation. Also, some of the appliances were not in prime condition. The refrigerator runs very cold and the washing machine requires an additional spin cycle. These feel like small complaints compared to the beauty of the scenery and the lovely, quiet location of the house. My absolute favorite part of this property was lying in bed ay night and viewing the stars. The location of the bed combined with the wide open, dark Caribbean sky, created a feeling of sleeping in the stars. It was magical!
