Stunning In-town 2-story Cruz Bay Villa! Walk to Town. All bedrooms w/ ensuites

This two-story villa has been REBUILT with a complete REDESIGN of the main floor.

Check out and see a real-time camera aimed at the view toward Cruz Bay.

As always, reach out directly for Best Value.

Located in the town of Cruz Bay, Tropical Panorama is situated 90 feet above sea level through the driveway gate, the property has almost 5,200 square feet of indoor and outdoor livable space, overlooking a view of Cruz Bay and its surrounding islands. This home is designed to enable residents to truly experience indoor/outdoor living, Tropical Panorama’s professionally decorated interior is very spacious with just over 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Renovations have enhanced the interior and exterior of the home and fully complement the stunning views and the impressive pool. We are excited about the outcome and certain that many visitors will enjoy creating lasting memories here. The property is great for outdoor living, as well as boasting a large private pool and water views. PLUS plenty of off-street private parking.

Tropical Panorama is positioned on a large hilltop parcel with lots of vegetation. Because of its hilltop location, the ground-level, front entrance opens onto the top floor, consisting of a half bath and a great room offering a seating area and a large dining table, as well as an open kitchen with barstool seating along a spacious island countertop. The seating area is well appointed with a 65" Samsung 4K HD TV with HD YouTube TV/DVR service, a 4K Blu-ray DVD player, and a multi-point seamless Wi-Fi system, STARLINK High speed internet connection. The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary needs (dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, and pans) and includes a full-size refrigerator, an electric range, a convection oven, a convection microwave, a dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker.

The interior living spaces on the top floor are cooled by air conditioning that you control, or simply open either of the glass sliding doors that span 35 feet and form two adjoining sides of the great room and allow the tropical breezes to pass through. On this level beyond the sliding doors, there is a large, open, but fully covered, veranda or lanai providing an additional sitting and dining area with a complete summer kitchen (Coyote gas grill, refrigerator, icemaker, and sink). The lanai offers the best spot in the whole house to spend hours reading a book or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, listening to your choice of music via the indoor-outdoor Bluetooth 4-zone speaker system. Beyond the lanai is a large cantilevered patio or deck adjoining the pool and overlooking Pillsbury Sound. Bordering the deck are two private principal bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed (Sleep Number mattress) and an en suite bathroom.

A stairwell located off the lanai leads to the lower-level hallway spanning the width of the house, with a lockable barn door at the foot of the stairwell opening to the outside. This hallway provides access to the three lower-level bedrooms and their en suite bathrooms. The 4 principal suites are furnished with king-sized beds and have exterior sliding doors providing a view of tropical landscaping, while the interior bedroom is furnished with two, twin-over-double bunk beds.

The king-sized bed in one of the lower Principal Suite features a Sleep Number mattress while the other lower Principal Suite offers a TempurPedic mattress. Split-wall unit air conditioners permit dehumidified, cooled air comfort within all five bedrooms. The décor in each of the four bedrooms with the king-sized beds is modern and upscale. The bunk bedroom and its private bathroom provide space ideal for guests traveling with children as this room can sleep up to 6 children or a few adults in the two twin-over-double bunk beds. (The top single bunks are really only appropriate for children or small teens.)

Parents traveling with young children should be aware that each of the three downstairs bedrooms offers an independent entrance to the shared hallway with doors that can be locked from the inside and outside while the two upstairs bedrooms each have lockable sliding doors that open onto the pool deck. Also, there is no barrier between the pool, the lanai, and the deck. There is a security camera system around the perimeter of the house that you can turn on at any time to view the security feed. (Cameras do not film either the interior of the house or the lanai, deck, and pool areas.) We want your stay to be nothing less than fabulous. For this reason, we want to share as much as possible about Tropical Panorama, enabling you to decide if it is a good fit for you and your vacation needs.

Tropical Panorama offers an incredibly prime location – a short walk down the hill to Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, and shops (and only 0.4 mile from the house to the ferry). Perhaps more importantly, you only need to walk home after visiting the many famous Cruz Bay bars. There is no need for a taxi, as you are right next to where all the action is happening, but far enough away that you do not have to be around the action when you want peace and privacy.

Tropical Panorama will easily host corporate events as the top floor offers large common spaces with amazing views. (An additional fee and deposit will apply.) Please, no wedding groups.

Please note there is construction occurring in the area adjacent to just our Villa and the new two story building interrupts a portion of the view that you may have enjoyed before (if you arrived after they cut the trees but prior to the start of that structure). We can't stop progress, and it's still a fabulous water view. The views shown in the listing photos are not and will not be impacted by the construction. Feel Free to check out the webcam for a live image of the view.

There is a small separate cottage on the property next door that shares our gate. It is about 200' from the house and rents separately. This basic cottage is equipped with an outside hot/cold shower, outdoor kitchenette, a King bed with AC, and a flushing toilet. Reference Vrbo number 1918911. For an additional fee, this can be added to your stay at Tropical Panorama to permit a total of 14 guests.

The owner also offers discounts to guests for AWD Rental SUVs.

The Owners will consider a trade for comparable vacation homes of similar quality ($1MM-$8MM) in desirable locations. Please inquire and see if there is interest.

Even better the second time!
We are one week back from our amazing stay at Tropical Panorama, and we cannot stop talking about how great a time we had. This was our 2nd stay at this property, and we were still amazed by the house, and the views. The property is absolutely stunning. It easily accommodated our group of 8, and everyone commented on how comfortable the rooms were. The owner mentioned that there might be a bit of construction going on, and it was mentioned in a review, but we didn't notice, and it appeared that it was basically complete. We spent many nights eating and hanging out in the lanai, or by the pool, taking in the amazing views from the property. The kids really enjoyed using the built in sound system! If you are heading to St. John, this is the place to book! 5/5!!

Family Vacation
I will start with the biggest issue at the property...the NOISE from the major construction within a few hundred feet of the house. It was everyday from 7:00-3:00. We woke up to hammer drills, tile cutters, etc. I know the owners have no control over this but I was not notified until I made my final payment and could not cancel. We had NO running water for 6 hours one day. The pool was not maintained and we could not use it the last 2 days due to the dirty water. The dishwasher did not work. The lower level was not as nice as the upper floor, clearly not as clean. Each time I had an issue, I notified the managers by text/phone. I have Never written a poor review for any home I have rented but this one needs to be addressed. I would NOT recommend this property

Wonderful Stay!
Our group had a wonderful time at this house. The pictures and information are all accurate. We had a group with multiple young kids so I was worried the short walk to town wouldn't be possible for us, but with a few small strollers it was perfect. We loved being so close we didn't have to load up the kids again after the day at the beach to head downtown. The house had all the amenities we could need and was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids!
