Nestled on the hillside in a private neighborhood, this villa provides relaxation with numerous on-site amenities to enjoy, while remaining conveniently close to Cruz Bay.

Come let us host you in paradise!

The Space:
Riley's Retreat is a bright and beautiful, newly updated villa that retains all the charm of Old St. John with ornate stonework and custom mahogany details, while also providing the modern conveniences you would expect from a vacation home. Enjoy morning coffee on the breezy decks, tropical cocktails by the pool in the afternoon. Challenge friends and family to a billiards tournament in the game room after a sunny beach day, or relish in a slow dance at the water’s edge while one of the island’s private chefs prepares a local seafood dinner. If you're lucky, the resident iguanas will join you for a starfruit snack in the groves surrounding the property. A beautiful sunset over the isles awaits every night, followed by a canopy of a million stars to gaze.

The two-level design of this spacious home offers plenty of room to gather, yet it also includes private areas for you to relax and enjoy some alone time. The upper living area is an open concept to capitalize on the natural light. Complete with a gourmet kitchen and furnished indoor and outdoor dining areas, the space is meant to accommodate large groups and families. There are three spacious bedrooms upstairs and 2 full bathrooms. Each bedroom has an AC unit with individual temperature controls and ceiling fans. The Master has a king-sized bed, private ensuite bathroom with a stone walk in shower. From the bathroom, you can walk out to the outdoor shower and down private steps to the pool area. There are 2 more large guest bedrooms, with new queen-sized beds and full closet. From any room, enjoy the peaceful sounds of tree frogs floating on the soft breezes to lull you to sleep at night. Wrap-around porches make it easy to navigate and explore the property from every angle.

The lower level is equally well designed and newly refurnished as its own apartment, with 2 bedrooms, both with queen-sized beds, 1 full bath and a fully equipped kitchen. The outdoor deck has a fully furnished living and dining area as well.

The pool area is very private and features an in-ground 14’ x 21’ pool and 6-person hot tub. There is a club house bar area with a pool table, ‘open air’ bar and many family games, where guests can enjoy snacks, cold beverages and a little competition. There is also a full bathroom with shower. A Bluetooth sound system is also wired inside and around the pool, so you can enjoy your playlist anywhere.

The laundry room on-site is equipped with large capacity washers and dryers, clothing iron and steamer, for your convenience.

Our property manager is on island and available to assist with questions or issues as needed during your stay. You can be greeted at the docks and escorted to the house or we can meet you at the house, give you a brief tour and get you settled in. Other convenient accommodations can also be arranged, to ensure your stay is stress free. Babysitting, grocery delivery, taxi services, and tour recommendations can all be arranged, don’t hesitate to ask!

Guest Access:
There is plenty of parking in the driveway to accomodate 4 vehicles and space for safari style taxis to access and turn around. We highly recommend you rent a jeep to experience all that the island of St John has to offer. We can also recommend several great safari style taxis that can accomodate large parties.

The Villa is located a mile above Cruz Bay at the end of a private road. It is a very private property overlooking the ocean and the valley below. Just minutes to dining, dancing & shopping. 1.5 Miles to the nearest beach. Caneel hiking trail accessible at base of property.

We recommend you rent a jeep to explore and experience the island to its fullest. We can recommend several safari style taxi drivers who also know the property well and take great care of you in your palnning, especially when staying with a large group. The Villa can easily accomododate multiple vehicles parked at the property.
