A stunning Greek-inspired retreat featuring modern comforts including air conditioning, a refreshing pool, and Tesla backup power for uninterrupted living.

Description: Welcome to Ilios, a breathtaking 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home that promises an unparalleled tropical escape. Featuring a private pool and a state-of-the-art solar-powered battery backup system, Ilios seamlessly blends modern amenities with the timeless beauty of Mediterranean architecture. With newly installed air-conditioning throughout the main house and eco-friendly solar panels, you’ll enjoy every modern comfort in this island paradise.

At the heart of Ilios lies a stunning open courtyard framed by separate pavilions on three sides, creating a picturesque backdrop for relaxation and entertainment. The pavilion on the right hosts a magnificent great room that combines a gourmet kitchen, cozy living space, and an elegant dining area. To the left, a charming guest bedroom awaits, while the main bedroom pavilion stands proudly at the front. Ascend an exterior staircase to discover the cozy upper-level guest bedroom. Each bedroom is beautifully appointed with air conditioning, flat-screen cable TVs, and luxurious private en-suite bathrooms.

Step onto the expansive sundeck, where you'll find an abundance of lounge chairs and the option to bask in the sun or retreat under two 9-ft Tuuci marine-grade European umbrellas. Whether you’re soaking up rays or enjoying the cool shade by the pool, the choice is yours. If you desire an elegant island retreat loaded with amenities, Ilios is your perfect sanctuary.

Location: Nestled along the captivating south-southwest-facing shores of Hart Bay, Ilios boasts a serene location at the end of a tranquil dead-end road, ensuring minimal traffic in this idyllic corner of paradise. Marvel at the mesmerizing views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Hart Bay and the Caribbean Sea. This enchanting semi-secluded cove is just a quick 7-8 minute drive down a well-paved road to the charming town of Cruz Bay. Here, you’ll find a plethora of delightful restaurants, lively beach bars, unique shops, and convenient grocery stores. For insider tips and recommendations, feel free to consult our experienced sales staff, who are well-versed in island favorites.

Living & Dining: Step into the impressive great room of the main house, which radiates with character and comfort. With air conditioning, rustic stone arches, soaring ceilings bathed in natural light, and crisp white walls accented with Mediterranean blue, this space is perfect for creating unforgettable memories. Enjoy the soothing sounds of the tropics, while you enjoy the state-of-the-art cable flat-screen TV, stereo system, and high-speed internet access. Thanks to the air conditioning, you can choose to experience the refreshing tropical breezes or luxuriate in the comfort of a cool indoor space. Plus, with a solar-powered battery backup, you'll have peace of mind for those unexpected power interruptions.

Dine al fresco under the enchanting hibiscus arbor in the courtyard at a table for six, or gather around the antique table in the great room to enjoy a meal together.
Complete with a gas barbecue grill, house phone, and washer/dryer, every convenience has been thoughtfully provided.

Kitchen: The well-appointed kitchen opens wide to the courtyard and living area, making it a delightful space for culinary creativity. It features a gas 4-burner stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, blender, coffee maker, and ample cookware and dinnerware to cater to your every need.

Bedrooms: The main bedroom (king) beckons with serene views of the hibiscus garden and pool. This charming retreat includes a flat-screen cable TV, a private bath with an enchanting open-air garden shower, and a private deck. The spacious patio-level bedroom (also king) features a flat-screen cable TV, a private bath, and stunning views of both the courtyard garden and the Caribbean. The second-floor guest bedroom (queen) is equally delightful with its flat-screen cable TV and private bath. A newly added tiled deck enhances this bedroom, providing the perfect spot to savor morning coffee while greeting the sunrise or indulging in a glass of wine as you watch cruise ships glide toward other enchanting Caribbean destinations.

With its unmatched beauty and array of amenities, Ilios isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a dream come true for those seeking a remarkable island retreat.

We loved Ilios Villa and everyone at Carribean Villa's were awesome. Nice relaxing space and separation of sleeping quarters.

Charming villa

Very pretty and charming property! Had a great time with family here. Love it! The only thing we wish it could improve is the check in process. It will be much smoother if the greeter knows more about this Villa. It is her first time to get into that villa as well and it took quite a while to figure out things including keys there. Also it will save the time if shampoo and body wash are provided there.

A wonderful respite

Spacious, gorgeous views, a good kitchen, not far from town -- highly recommended. Two things they might think about if they make any changes -- there is no place to sit outdoors when it is raining, which it did now and again during our stay, so you have to dash inside with your dinner or whatever, and sometimes the weather clears just moments later. Second, there are sun chairs by the pool and rather uncomfortable oaken chairs around the table, but no comfortable chairs for 6 people to sit and chat in for an extended period of time. Plenty of room, though! We would go again despite these observations. It was delightful and we had a wonderful time.

Perfect For Us!

Adult family of 4 who enjoy cooking were very happy with our stay. St John is perfect if you love the beach, water sports, hiking, and general relaxation. Not much else to do/see there. Villa is a perfect layout for adults with comfortable bedrooms and privacy opportunities. Kitchen was extremely well-stocked with just about everything a cook might need. Entire property indoors and out was ultra clean. Large outdoor space was perfect for getting some sun, outdoor dining, and watching the starts at night. Mosquitos and no-seeums no worse than FL (they were only active for a couple hours around sunset) Nice, deep pool. Very quiet location was a short drive from a few markets and town. Visited 7 different beaches during our stay and found the best snorkeling at Salt Pond Bay. Also would recommend visits to Oppenheimer and Hawksnest if you want to avoid the more crowded Maho (great for turtle sightings, though) and Trunk Bay (snorkel trail is disappointing, but beach is beautiful). Dennis Bay is a great beach but involves a 10 minute or so hike in. If you love authentic Carribean food, try Heading East Bar & Grill about 10 - 15 minute drive from the Villa (heading east, of course). Also loved the BBQ at the very simple but oh so tasty Uncle Joes in Cruz Bay. We tried for a couple higher end places but both had to close before our visits due to staffing/Covid issues. Bought a couple of large, fresh lobsters from just-returning fishermen in Cruz Bay at a great price. Also, found the fresh snapper, grouper, and shrimp to be reasonably priced (think Whole foods) and very, very fresh at Star Market. Availability was inconsistent but worth a try. Outdoor grill worked like a champ for all seafood and fish we cooked. If you go, you won't be disappointed!

Fabulous Stay

We loved this property! Family of 5 with plenty of space! Loved the layout of the home. Beautiful views of Hart Bay from every space in the villa. Excellent location with easy driving to beaches, hikes, Cruz Bay and Mongoose Junction. The only downfall were the bugs/spiders. But to be expected. Bring plenty of bug spray

Ilios House was perfect

We were thrilled at our first sight of Ilios house - the pictures do not do it justice. It had just what we were all looking for: a sense of style and charm that felt timeless. It felt like a small compound with 3 separate buildings, a bedroom and bath in each to give complete privacy to everyone. The pool and main living space provided a great space to come together. I would stay again in a heartbeat - I don't think I would even look anywhere else.

Perfect Vacation

We stayed at Ilios and loved it. We have recommended Ilios Villa to all of our friends and will definitely return. Snorkeling at Trunk Bay and dining at Lucys Restaurant out in Coral Bay was the highlight of our day. Hiking trail to Little Lemeshur was a work out but worth the trip. See you next year!

Ilios is charming and comfortable!

My husband and I stayed at Ilios in mid-January for two weeks. We’ve stayed there a number of times over the years—and it gets better and better. A few years ago the kitchen was updated and last year umbrellas were added to the patio, which gets sun throughout the day. Not only are the beds very comfortable, the bedrooms are in separate pods to provide complete privacy for 3 couples. We stayed in the 2nd floor bedroom which has a small deck—perfect for a pre-dinner glass of wine while watching cruise ships that had just departed St. Thomas en route to their next destination. When the surf is up, we’ve enjoyed walking down to nearby Hart Bay to watch the surfers late in the afternoon. Ilios is a 5 minute ride to Cruz Bay so dining out and marketing are very easy, as is access to the North Shore beaches. We hope to return to St. John soon and will certainly plan to stay at Ilios.
