About this property
Cruz Bay 1 Bdrm Condo w/Generator Just Steps from Frank Bay, Easy Walk into Town
Our St John condo is a wonderful, 1bedroom, 1 bath vacation rental conveniently located just steps from Cruz Bay on a quiet residential street just past Gallows Point Resort with great breezes and water views. Frank Bay Beach is just around the corner and the sunsets are amazing from here! Our condo has Caribbean inspired colors and amenities, perfect for adults, honeymooners or couples with all the comforts of home with a little more privacy and affordability than St John hotels or resorts.
With 10' high ceilings, cool tiled floor, and ocean views are a welcoming island retreat. Villa La Mer has air conditioning, and fans throughout with regular tradewinds.
Step from the living room or bedroom onto our large porch with an outdoor teak dining table, lounge chairs, an island inspired hammock, and electric BBQ grill. The porch overlooks the shared (with four other condos) pool and some of the best sweeping views of the Caribbean and other islands, and of course sunsets you will forever remember.
The spacious living room has a floor to ceiling bookshelf, TV, & CD Player, and we have WiFi.
Our kitchen is well stocked by my mother (a Southern cook!) , so you should have everything you need to fix an elaborate meal or blend your favorite island concoctions.
The property is beautifully landscaped with year-round blossoming plants and you will absolutely love the large pool that is privately shared with the other four units on the property.
Our condo is very well maintained and our Welcome Team will also be available if have any questions about the condo.
We hope you enjoy our island home away from home.
***La Mer is not available from mid-August until the first week in October.

We had a great stay. The property was in a great location in Cruz Bay. Close enough to walk to restaurants/shops/the ferry, but in a fairly quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed spending time on the large balcony. Patty the property manager was great to deal with. She met us at the property and provided good recommendations
The location was perfect for us—-a short walk to commercial areas but on a quiet street. The view from the veranda/deck was wonderful. We enjoyed the sunset every nightl Patti was accommodating and responsive to our requests.
Adele is a wonderful host! Very responsive with lots of information. Her lovely condo has everything you need for a great stay on St John-beach chairs and towels, coolers, fully stocked kitchen along with a great location close to Cruz Bay. Warmly decorated, clean and very comfortable. Pam is an excellent greeter and a great resource for all things St John.
The condo was perfect !! Great views off the back deck and the pool was refreshing. A 5 minute walk down to restaurants and the Cruz bay hub. Patti the property manager was very welcoming and helpful. We will be staying again for our next trip in a few months
Great stay in a great location. We had a wonderful stay. The manager Patti met with us upon our arrival and was so helpful with getting to know the place and the area with lots of great recommendations of things to do. We would definitely stay here again.
We were greeted by a host when we arrived, which was a great touch to make us feel comfortable. Location was within walking distance of Cruz Bay, which was also very nice since we did not have to worry about parking. Loved the porch overlooking ocean with hammock. Beaches are a close drive away. We appreciated having a cooler and beach chairs provided for our beach excursions.
This place has everything you need. And it has a great sunset view. It is walkable to the Cruz Bay restaurants and shops. And the Property manger was helpful and friendly.
The apartment was very comfortable, with a large balcony and dining table, hammock, etc. offering a great view. The complex pool was very nice on a hot day. A short walk along the beach to restaurants, bars, and the dolphin market for provisions as well as the ferry dock and national park visitors center.
The views from the villa are gorgeous, and the accessibility to town perfect. The villa is fully equipped. It is a testament to St. John charm and comfort. The island itself is spectacular, easy to navigate by car and the islanders are beyond friendly, kind and helpful. We wish we could stay here longer. God willing, we will return. Good vibes.
We absolutely loved this condo! the location was perfect, walking distance to town but still quiet. And the back deck was our favorite hang out spot. The property manager Patti, was so nice and easy to communicate with. We can't wait to stay here again
We really enjoyed the Villa. It gave us everything we needed. Nicely furnished and decorated.The covered porch with a beautiful view and pleasant breezes was the highlight. Short walk to Cruz Bay restaurant. Easy parking.
We visited St. John for our honeymoon and had a lovely stay. We enjoyed the property and it was a nice walking distance to town. What you see in the photos is what you get. We had no complaints and would stay again!
The location of the condo is perfect for a walk into town. Parking in Cruz Bay is very difficult, so having the ability to walk into town was key!! The physical space in the condo was perfect for us. One bedroom, one bath, the "one fanny" kitchen (it's pretty narrow- only one person at a time!), and great living space inside and out. We appreciated Patty meeting us for check-in, as well as the wonderful communication prior. Loved the pool and the view. Could not have found a more perfect spot for a week in St. John.
The condo was great! It was very comfortable and clean with a great deck and view. It was such a treat to walk into town every evening! Patty was very responsive and made checking in very easy. We can't wait to return to this wonderful island!

La Mer
La Mer was an absolutely perfect villa to stay in on St. John. It was well equipped, very clean and perfectly located to walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, the ferry and the grocery store. We very much enjoyed BBQing on the balcony and swimming in the shared pool! We definitely would stay at La Mer again when we return to St. John.
We loved this property. It was just as expected and had all the necessary items and more. The property manager Patti met us upon arrival and gave us the overviev. Very grateful for the beach chairs, towels and coolers we used everyday. Convenient to walk every evening to dinner or out on the town.
My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Villa de Mer. It was a classic and adorable condo with everything we could have needed. We enjoyed watching the stars from the porch hammock every night. The location is perfect for walking into town and the property manager was warm and wonderful. I've visited St. John many times - usually staying in villas or private homes outside of town - and was worried about losing privacy with an in-town stay but couldn't have been happier with our week!
My husband and I spent a week vacationing in St John for our anniversary and had a great experience here! Adele and Patti were so welcoming and made everything so easy for us.
Our favorite things:
- The property is just a short walk to Cruz Bay.
- The pool is private, quiet and so refreshing for an afternoon dip after the beach.
- The deck is perfect for coffee and breakfast in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening.
We can’t say enough good things about this property and look forward to booking again in the future!
Patti and Villa La Mer help make our trip amazing! Patti was amazingly accommodating in meeting us to check in, escorted us through a great walkthrough of the condo and pool, and provided an indepth guide for all amenities in St. John. The condo was clean with an amazing view. It is conveniently close to Cruz Bay restaurants, although it is at the top of a steep hill. There is parking in front of the location, complimentary toiletries, and an incredible balcony with an exceptional view. Thank you for helping make our trip for our sister's wedding magical.

Loved having you. Please come back any time. Adele
The La Mer condo is lovely—a perfect blend of bright open space and cozy comfort, and it's filled with beautiful seaside decor and art. The large veranda adds a very special bonus. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on a return trip to St. John. La Mer is in a perfect spot for visiting this island. It’s a short walk to Cruz Bay for shops, restaurants, the ferry, and taxis that will go anywhere on St. John, including beaches. Also close by is the National Park Center and some of its walking trails. In addition, communication with Adele and Patti before and during the stay was welcoming and efficient.
