About this property

Well priced private villa - Swim in your private lap pool, A/C in all rooms!

Tennis Cottage is private, tropical and comfortable. The Cottage consists of a main house and a guest house. The main house contains the living/dining and kitchen areas, plus a romantic master bedroom and bath on the upper level and a second bedroom/bath on the lower level that opens to the 40 foot pool and sundeck. A large covered deck runs along the upper length of the main house and provides an excellent place to relax and enjoy the scenic views and magical Caribbean nights. The third bedroom/bath is private and cozy and is located in the guesthouse behind the main house.

Tennis Cottage overlooks Chocolate Hole Harbor with south facing sunny and scenic views of the harbor and the Caribbean Sea. The Cottage is the neighbor of Tennis Villa, but both villas are private and hidden from view from each other. The Cottage can be rented in combination with Tennis Villa, and you thereby gain access to one of the finest villa amenities and activities packages on St. John. Tennis Villa's amenities include a private tennis and basketball court, a 43 foot pool, a regulation pool table, a horseshoe pit and a piano. Each villa has a separate, private driveway and parking area, but if you rent both villas a path connects the two villas and insures an easy walk from one house to the other.

Chocolate Hole is a well-established, quiet and convenient neighborhood that consists of high-priced residential villas. Groceries at Starfish Market are a 4-5 minute drive and the many restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay are an easy 5 minute drive. The restaurants, beach, spa and tennis courts of the Westin Resort are a 2 minute drive.

A lovely stay in paradise

We had a wonderful time. The house provided everything we could want or need. Our welcome surprise in the fridge was perfect & came in handy. My parents were in the main level & my husband and I chose the pool level room, it was great having the separate areas. We will definitely be back.

Quiet island cottage

If you’re looking for a quiet spot on St John, Tennis Cottage is a great option. The cottage is appropriately named as it’s more cottage than villa, but we really liked the charm of the place. There are 3 bdrms, one in the basement walks out to the pool. Upstairs is a nice open air porch that overlooks Chocolate Hole. The property is situated lower on the ridge line between Chocolate Hole and little Cruz Bay which doesn’t afford big sweeping views, but there is a very nice view of the Hole and beyond out to open water. The main house consists of a kitchen, living room and dining area in an open floor plan. There is also a bedroom with a large closet. In addition, there is a separate building with a bedroom. All three bedrooms have a bathroom. Because of the layout, this cottage probably isn’t ideal for a family with young children who you don’t want sleeping separately from the adults. But if you want a place with some privacy among the bdrms, this set up is perfect. Many people walk and run along the road just in front of the cottage so it’s a good place to get a little exercise in the mornings or early evenings. It is possible to walk down a short but steep landing to gain access to the beach at little Cruz Bay and the Westin. We walked down to let the kids swim and we had dinner at the beach restaurant at the Westin. That walkability factor is a big plus for this location as the property also feels isolated and quiet. Lastly, the management company and all of the good people there are really enjoyable and made our stay wonderful.

Great

Stocked with everything you would possible need for a beach vacation. The property manager was constantly in communication with you and easy to reach. The full kitchen had anything you would need to prepare a meal. It was easily found and accessible to taxi services so getting a car wasn’t exactly necessary. It is very close to the main house so you can hear people outside and vice versa, overall a very nice stay I would book again.

Wonderful vacation

we loved this villa's location and it had everything we needed. Three bedrooms are all separate and private and comfortable. Management company took very good care of us and we will be back to tennis cottage next year.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Managers

We’re a family where the head of the family is an obstetrician who spent his entire professional life delivering and caring for babies (and their moms) in a lovely small town in Wisconsin. Delivering babies is tough work and you really can’t choose the hours babies are born so you work a lot of long, really long, sleepless nights. So when you can grab some vacation time, and that’s rare, it has to be really enjoyable and relaxing. After a vacation on St. John many years ago, we quickly discovered that this island is all of these things, it’s truly one of planet earth’s finest little islands. So we searched around and found Tennis Villa and Tennis Cottage and bought them. We have a pretty large family that absolutely loves St. John and with lots of space, privacy and amenities, Tennis Villa and Tennis Cottage are just perfect for socializing with our family or friends.

Why they chose this property

We originally were interested in purchasing Tennis Villa because it has one of the very few private tennis courts on St. John. Tennis Cottage and Tennis Villa were sold as a package, so we ended up with two homes. Since we added the 40' pool, sun deck and full a/c to the Cottage, and remodeled it, we've come to enjoy the Cottage almost as much as Tennis Villa. It's private, cozy, great for families, and still quite affordable on an island with lots of expensive rentals.

What makes this property unique

The most unique aspect of Tennis Cottage is that it can be rented by itself as a 3-bedroom villa, or it can be rented as part of a 7-bedroom, two villa combination package, along with Tennis Cottage.
