    This home is nestled on the ridge overlooking Great Cruz Bay, just a few minutes from town and the ferry dock.

    Idyllic Villa was remodeled in 2019 with all new furnishings and appliances with new coral tiled pool deck. (Pool cabana to rebuilt in the near future). Located in a quiet residential area with walking access to two beaches, the Westin Resort complex and a short drive to the spectacular North Shore beaches and the National Park.

    The indoor living area is furnished in cool, island colors, with new furniture and artwork complimenting the natural beauty of St. John.  The 4 panel slider opens fully onto the upper deck and is also screened.

    [read more="Read more" less="Read less"] Idyllic was designed to take advantage of the Caribbean breezes and incredible views of Great Cruz Bay. The covered deck across the front of the house provides protected outdoor living space with seating and dining areas.

    The beautiful teak dining table set seats 6 in comfort for outdoor dining with gas grill.
    After relaxing in the pool, you're sitting on the deck looking at the view...
    a harbor replete with boats, Pillsbury Sound, the hills of St. Thomas in the distance.
    There are sunsets year round and at night the twinkling lights and stars.

    The fully remodeled kitchen is a delight with all the latest appliances, gourmet pots
    and cooking gadgets, granite counter and a small breakfast bar.

    The three bedrooms are spacious, each with an accompanying full bath, sparkling linens, new furnishings and large airy French windows.

    The master bedroom is on lower level and has outside entrance, has air conditioning, a king-size bed and it's own master bath. There is a private sitting room & deck. The sitting room has fouton sofa/bed, Smart TV. and private deck outside also.

    And, then there is the large pool (30x11x4) and deck surrounded by flowering shrubs with a captivating view. The comfortable deck furniture,  provide for easy living pool-side. There is no pool cabana with shower - working on plans to re-build.

    Idyllic is landscaped with tropical plants such as flamboyant, bougainvillea, oleander, hibiscus and palm trees and more.

    The house is fully equipped with linens, bath towels, beach towels and gear for the beach - coolers and beach chairs. Livingroom has Smart TV and Bluetooth stereo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. My favorite house so far!! Great location right near Cruz Bay. Jackie was super helpful when we arrived and the weeks leading up to our arrival. The house was fully stocked with towels, full kitchen and all the extras you need to hit the ground running. The layout was perfect for our family and the pool was awesome. We will definitely rebook this property!!

Ideal location! Jackie met us at the Ferry and showed us where our jeep rental was then pointed out different grocery stores and the main roads. Having our own pool was a plus for the afternoons we wanted to relax. We would definitely stay here again and bring friends since we didn’t take advantage of the 3 rooms we had. Thank you Jackie!

The house manager, Jacki, is super friendly, accommodating, and attentive. She provided great information to make our stay very enjoyable. I highly recommend this house!

Just sit on the porch

This property grows on you as the week progresses. So comfortable, a few glitches but the property managers jumped right in to fix things. The porch is just an awesome place to be from sun up to dusk. Keep up with any maintenance and this will be a star place for years to come.

Great Location

Property has a very open and tropical feel that blends into the environment around it. Built into a hillside with panoramic views of the harbor it was a perfect distance from town, shops, restaurants and markets. Far enough away to be quiet and secluded but close enough to run into town in just a few minutes. I think the best way to describe the property would be cozy - not big or overly luxurious (not that we were looking for or expected that) it had everything we needed from the pool which was larger and deeper than many we had perused online, to an extremely well stocked kitchen, lots of outdoor seating, towels snd snorkeling/pool/beach gear. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay, great for kids.

We had a fantastic stay. The location is excellent, conveniently right outside of Cruz Bay. The pool was a hit with the kids. House was clean and cool and the snacks/drinks left for us was a nice touch. The house is nestled off the road, surrounded by vegetation, giving you plenty of privacy. You can barely see any neighbors and outside of a few trucks passing by it was as quiet as could be. Michele met us at our car rental and showed us the home. She was very kind and answered all of our questions. The AC worked well and kept us cool, although the bedroom units were a bit loud. We were warned of possible rolling power outages but luckily it didn't happen during our stay.Would definitely recommend, and we would stay again.

Just perfect

This house was perfect for three childhood friends to revel in a lifetime of experiences. It was big enough to have our spaces and small enough to be cozy. I have rented many VRBO houses over the years. It was easily the best appointed. If you needed it, it was there. Plenty of towels, paper products and spices and things like sunscreen and bug spray. It even had an outdoor cat to dote on. We enjoyed a lot of time in the pool and Jackie, the house manager was helpful and attentive. It is also in a very nice and quiet location.

Great house - but island power outages were an issue with no backup power/generator.

The house was beautiful, clean, had gorgeous views and a great location close to all the nightlife in Cruz Bay. Unfortunately island power outages were an issue and we had to leave this house early (as did the renters the week before). We arrived June 2 and left on June 6. Fortunately the Westin had room for us so we moved there. The house manager Jackie was FANTASTIC - the owners are lucky to have her!! She continuously checked in and gave us what updates she could on outages. She stopped by to bring us extra flashlights when we lost power on day 2 around 5p which was key because it was out until early the next day. Each day thereafter was just constant worry if you would / would not have power so we moved to salvage our family vacation. If the house got a generator, would consider renting it again. But would either need island issues to be fixed or house to have a generator - otherwise we would do the Westin again.

Idyllic was great!

We (family of 4, 2 of which are teenagers) spent 8 nights at Idyllic in late July. The Villa included everything we needed for a very pleasant stay, including A/C, beach towels and beach accessories, coolers, and a private pool. Location is great - just outside of Cruz Bay, very close to Dolphin Market and other shops. Property manager Jackie was very communicative - she emailed and texted every step of the way through our various flight delays/changes. She met us at the villa upon our arrival, which was great. The layout of the villa was ideal for us - there are two air conditioned bedrooms on the upper level, and an air conditioned "suite" on the lower level (that also contains the washer/dryer). This worked well for us as it afforded our 18 year old their own space on the lower level. We did not have any occurrences of power outages during our stay, though WAPA did notify that they were going to implement one on our last night on island. Jackie texted us right away when she received the notification, which was much appreciated! Thankful that we did not have any power outages, but please note this site does not have backup generator (as many on island do not). Hopefully WAPA can get their act together, as their mismanagement of the power generating system is going to be very impactful upon the tourism industry in USVI (especially going into the busy season), and consequently upon the great people who live on the islands and depend upon tourism for their livelihoods.

The laundry was fine and the kitchen was well appointed. Best we ever had! The view was amazing all day and all night. Every day and every turn was a beautiful new postcard! There were some repairs in progress and they didn't subtract from the experience. The pool and the view from the pool were outstanding. There were some very friendly and interesting Iguannas too Need a few more stemless wine glasses.
