About this property
Ginger Thomas Villa in Cruz Bay
Amazing views of Cruz Bay and St Thomas, conveniently located near town with access to the ferry, shopping, grocery, and restaurants. Expansive outdoor living and pool to cool off in the evening after a day at the beach. Beautiful sunsets over the Caribbean toward St Thomas.
Ginger Thomas is built on two levels with a king size bedroom and full bathroom on each floor. Ginger Thomas has spectacular unobstructed views of the Caribbean waters and neighboring islands, the town of Cruz Bay and the mountains of St. John. It is located on Pocket Money Lane, a private cul-de-sac. The town of Cruz Bay and the ferry dock are .4 miles from the villa. We suggest renting a vehicle to see the island and enjoy town and the beaches.
As you arrive at Ginger Thomas, the lush landscaping welcomes you to your home away from home. The main floor living room is furnished with a queen sleeper sofa and two comfortable chairs. The gourmet kitchen has granite countertops and two bar stools. The main living area leads you through an expansive 18-foot-wide sliding pocket door that opens to the large outdoor living space. A portion of the living space is a covered veranda with a comfortable wicker couch, dining table and a Weber gas grill for your convenience while you enjoy the spectacular sunset with boats sailing in the distance across the Caribbean waters. The other portion of the outdoor living space is uncovered and includes chaise lounges in the sun and a beautiful splash pool on the deck.
On the lower level, via an exterior staircase, French doors lead you to a suite with A/C and a king size bed. The room has a full bath suite and a mini fridge, Smart TV and DVD player.
There is a house generator for any power outages that might occur on island. There is a 50-inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room as well as the lower level. There is also a collection of games and books.
We also provide trash service twice a week. There is no trash removal on St John. Normally all trash must be brought to the local dumpsters on the island.
The property has many amenities such as Starlink Wi-Fi, which is extremely high-speed and always available, Bluetooth speakers, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, UV water purification system, Smart TV's, dishwasher, washer/dryer and A/C in the bedrooms. There is a walking path through the garden around the property.

Fantastic vacation rental! The villa is clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with lots of thoughtful extras (beach equipment, toiletries, household supplies). Convenient Cruz Bay location but far enough out of town to feel private and peaceful. Can't beat the views! Owners were communicative and helpful. We hope to return!
The condo was very clean with the most comfortable beds in both rooms. Air conditioning in bedroom was a huge plus and the breeze provided enough air to cool the main living area. This was a great set up for 2 couples allowing some space to recharge your social battery. Would love to come again. Fast communication from the hosts and an extremely easy check out process.
The view was amazing and the property owners were awesome about communicating with us before and during the trip I would recommend renting a jeep while in the island!
We found everything clean, working, and very well equipped. Just can’t beat the view, and having the private pool made it even better. The separate bedroom downstairs suited our needs perfectly.

This villa is a quick drive into Cruz Bay. The villa itself is charming, the indoor/outdoor living is perfect. We used the pool every afternoon after going to the beach. We can't wait to stay here again!

Thank you Lauren. We are so happy you enjoyed Ginger Thomas Villa. We look forward to hosting you again sometime in the future.
This house is perfect for 2 couples that want to be close to Cruz Bay. The views are spectacular. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The pool is on the small side, but we spent most of our time at the beaches.The owners quickly replied to questions and made sure our check in was easy.We would absolutely stay here again.
Our family had a blast on St. John. The house was perfect!

Thank you Evans! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. So glad you enjoyed your stay at the villa and on St John!! Hope to see you again sometime soon.
This home is ion the perfect spot for Cruz Bay shopping and dining and the beaches! Great communication with the property manager and owners. Great view and overall a great home! Highly recommend this home.
We loved our stay at Ginger Thomas. We were two couples and the layout was great for hanging out by the pool or cooking meals in the kitchen then retreating to our own private sleeping areas. View of Cruz Bay was fabulous. Owners and property managers were great with communication and everything went smoothly. Look forward to staying there again when back in St John.
Close to Cruz Bay but far enough to be quiet and private! Pool and patio are fantastically relaxing. The view at night is stunning and made it necessary for a pre-dinner selfie each night!

Thank you James and Susan. We hope you enjoyed the unique beauty of St John. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Ginger Thomas and look forward to your return!
We had a fabulous time in St John and our villa added to that wonderful experience! Coffee on the patio every morning - dip in the pool after a day at the beach - watching the beautiful sunsets - doesn’t get much better than that!! And Karen was so responsive to any questions we had and so pleasant to talk to. We loved our stay and hope to be back some day!!

Thank you Karen. It was our pleasure to host you. We hope to see you again very soon!
We had a fabulous week at the ginger thomas villa! The location of this VRBO is spectacular, close to the bay, grocery stores, and the main town area, we also appreciated being so high up! The views were just gorgeous for the entire week. We also loved the access to snorkeling gear, beach umbrellas, and so much more my 1.5 year old also had a great time here, and we left behind some beach toys for future families. Highly recommend this house if you’re searching for a place to stay in the area!

About the host
Hosted by Karen and Dan
Dan and I fell in love with St John on our first trip in Aug 2017. On the third day of vacation, we looked at each other and said "We must come back here as soon as we can" and then we asked ourselves "Do you think we could live here?" Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit soon after that and we fell even more in love after witnessing the tight knit community come together to recover and help one another. We knew this was our home and where we belonged.
