About this property

Villa Chez Shell has recently installed Tesla Battery!

Villa Chez Shell is a two bedroom Pool Villa located near the Westin Resort in Great Cruz Bay and is just 5 minutes from downtown Cruz Bay. We accept children 12 years of age and up.

Enjoy evening sunsets over Great Cruz Bay and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas once the sun has set for the evening.

The home has two Master Suites each with en-suite Master Baths with custom showers. The entire home has beautiful quarry stone floors imported from the Middle East.

The main entrance at Chez Shell is graced by Old Chicago Brick walkways and tropical gardens bordered with palm trees, fragrant frangipani flowers, tree orchids and other tropical foliage.

Once you step inside the front entry, the well-appointed great room opens up before you. A view of Great Cruz Bay and beyond soothe your senses. Proceed through the great room and enter the completely Screened Outdoor Living Area.

Beyond the Screened Outdoor Living Area is a Sun Deck with a table for outdoor dining and the view of Great Cruz Bay, the Sandy Beach and Swaying Palm Trees at the Westin Beach Resort.

The Screened in Porch area is a great spot to read a book or enjoy evening conversations over cocktails while the sun sets in the distance. Just off the kitchen/dining area you step out to the brand new 20 X 35 pool veranda featuring classic Old Chicago Brick Pavered sun deck and native stone walls overlooking Great Cruz Bay and St. Thomas Beyond.

Every room is appointed with plenty of windows to ensure that you enjoy both gorgeous ocean/harbor views and garden views regardless of where you rest.

Preparing meals in Chez Shell's well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure with plenty of lighting, great airflow and ample space to prepare your meals. Dine inside adjacent to the kitchen or outdoors on the Sun Deck. There is comfortable seating for six at the either of the indoor or outdoor dining tables with views of the Ocean/Harbor and the Island of St. Thomas.

It is a wonderful Villa for families with inside access to both of the Master Bedroom Suites directly from the Great Room. The Master Suites are air conditioned, one with garden views and one with views of Great Cruz Bay Harbor and the Ocean beyond.

Chez Shell also has multiple living spaces inside and out so you may enjoy the active harbor views and sunset views towards St Thomas from many different areas.

The decor is warm and inviting and in tune with Caribbean Style living. Most of the furnishings are from India, Bali, the Southwest United States which includes various antiques from around the world. Chez Shell was totally remodeled in 2007 by a talented builder out of New Mexico.

The house is just a short 5-minute walk to the beaches at Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole and a short drive to the famous North Shore Beaches.

If you enjoy colorful awesome sunsets over the water, a convenient location and a beautiful place to stay, you'll find your perfect vacation waiting at Chez Shell

Should you have questions or would like to make a reservation the preferred method is via phone as emailing thru VRBO sometimes takes over 24 hours to reach us.

We had a wonderful stay at Chez Shell and would highly recommend it for anyone visiting St. John. The villa is beautifully furnished and thoughtfully stocked with just about everything you could need for a relaxing vacation, including beach chairs. The breathtaking views and incredible pool alone make the villa worth every penny. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the island. We also loved that it was close enough to Cruz Bay’s restaurants and shops to easily head out for dinner and be back in time to spend the evening relaxing by the pool.While there is no air conditioning in the main living area, we quickly adjusted to the open-air island lifestyle. The bedroom air conditioning units worked very well and kept us comfortably cool throughout the night.Chez Shell provided the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience, and we would absolutely stay here again. If you’re planning a trip to St. John, we definitely recommend Chez Shell! - B.Reece, Louisville, KY

The host was upfront about no A/C in living room & kitchen areas, so no surprises. But that lack did make cooking and hanging out in there unpleasant - except in early morning hours. We might have cooked in more if cooler in there. Otherwise - an excellent stay and locale.

Perfect House for a Getaway

This house was perfect for our family getaway on St. John. It had all the amenities you could possibly need. The kitchen was a great size and the outdoor living spaces were exceptional. It’s such a quick drive to Cruz Bay and the road is quiet and easy to park which can be hard to find on the island.

Very nice villa. Perfect location close enough to town but feels removed and quiet. Just the frogs chirping at night. Main room gets warm but the fans and the beautiful pool helped keep us cool. Slept well in the AC. Views are incredible. Loved our stay.

Great Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay in Saint John. House was just as described with a great view. The location was perfect - close to center of town but in a nice, quiet bay area. The pool was a great addition and communication/response time from host was excellent. We would definitely come back to this VRBO!

About the host

Hosted by Sheree and Scott York

Host profile image
Scott and Sheree and their four year old son Logan, first sailed to the Virgin Islands and St John in 1994 for a visit. Six years later the York Family again sailed to St John after a two year cruise where we had been to almost every island in the Caribbean. We instantly fell in love with St John and it's natural beauty. In 2004 we started Calypso/Bad Kitty Charters, where their son Logan is now a captain. After almost 20 years of living aboard our catamaran Blown Away we purchased Villa Chez Shell in 2017. We live on the property. We look forward to sharing St John with you.
