BRAND NEW "Nautilus" Beachfront Villa - just steps away to Private Bay

A beautiful BRAND NEW spacious beach-front villa in Chocolate Hole - only steps away from putting your feet in the sand. Enjoy a fantastic view of the crystal clear Caribbean water right from your window and back porch! Only 5 minutes from the bustling shopping/restaurant town of Cruz Bay.

Great amenities include beach chairs and towels, snorkel gear and noodles to enjoy in our private bay which is known to have the most sea life to enjoy on the island with sea turtles and colorful marine life! The bay is known to be calm with no strong winds.

If your party is too many for one villa, our sister property, Serenity, is right next door with three king bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.

Are you a foodie? We have a fully appointed kitchen and an outdoor grill with 2 grocery stores within a 5 minute drive from the villa.

Don't feel like cooking? We have great restaurants right around the corner.

Want to go shopping? Mongoose Junction is close by and has great shops for local artwork, jewelry (a must buy are hook bracelets!), beach essentials, clothing, as well as restaurants. Be sure to try a Pain Killer!

Want to explore other beaches? We have so many to choose from and are a short drive from the villa!

The weather is always sunny & around 85 degrees in St. John!

Off the beaten path but close to town.
The property itself is well appointed, nicely decorated and comfortable. Having beach chairs, cooler, snorkel gear etc, was fantastic. The separate ice maker was a huge plus as well! The owners provided a great notebook of information and maps for the area too! (Very helpful!) The view of the water was really only from upstairs off the main bedroom. We couldn't really enjoy the patio due to the overwhelming amount of mosquitoes. We came prepared for island annoyances like bugs, but they were terrible. It had been raining a lot, so that could be the cause. The location is difficult to find so follow the directions not Google Maps or other navigation. A car rental is very helpful! They have one in site that is very nice. The beach was pretty wrecked by the recent hurricanes but they are working to get it back to a sandy area. We didn't utilize the beach due to the current condition. (But there are amazing beaches a short drive out). If you are looking for a quiet area to stay that is close to town (Cruz bay) this may be for you. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and super comfy! Just be sure to fully understand the beach situation to make sure it fits your needs and expectations. Very nice and responsive owner and onsite manager! FYI.. Bring your own games for downtime or rainy day indoor fun.

Five Stars is not enough. The property is 3 large bedrooms with comfy king size beds and beautiful bathrooms. Kitchen with all amenities and large comfortable furniture to relax on. Property is located right on Chocolate Bay with access to the water and very close to Cruz Bay downtown and all the other beaches. Host was incredible. They even had a super friendly neighbor help us out on getting around. Really, really great vacation. We all miss it already. Will be back!

St. John luxury stay
Beautiful, modern, sparkling-clean, well-stocked & outfitted beach house steps from beach, Cove residents include turtles, tarpon, large & small reef fish - snorkel equipment, chairs, floats, & towels included. Location difficult to find, communication problematic, but it was worth the work…car available & desirable.

Beautiful accommodations in convenient location
Very spacious and nicely decorated condo! Location is convenient to Cruz Bay, grocery stores and North Shore beaches. There is no back up source of energy, so when rolling blackouts occur, you will be without power and water. Filtration system and ice maker a plus. Pretty view of water from upper balcony.

Beach getaway at Chocolate Hole, St. John, USVI
The villa itself is wonderful, although it is situated in a development that started off with great expectations that then collapsed for a number of reasons. The disastrous twin hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 didn't help matters any... When you arrive, assuming that you use taxi transportation as we did, simply tell the driver 'Pond Bay' and don't try to give directions - just climb on and enjoy the ride. They all know where it is...when you get there, just call the owner who will guide you in to the correct unit. While Chocolate Hole (the bay) doesn't have the panache of the areas on the north shore, it is a great spot for snorkeling and paddle boarding in fairly protected waters before moving on to the more celebrated venues.

Private beach with great snorkeling, luxury condo
We stayed with our 3 children over spring break 2024 for 7 nights. The condo was very clean, beautifully decorated and each bedroom was large with en suite bathroom. The top master has a large balcony overlooking the private beach. The location was great only minutes away from the best beaches and city center. We used the car rental that came as an option with the property and that worked out great. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed (pots/ pans…) for home cooked meals. We had an early flight coming back and were worried about taxi reliability to get to the Ferry in time since we had to leave the rental car at the condo. One of the property owners there was super nice and gave us a ride to the ferry. All in all great location, our family made some good memories 😊

Great stay
We stayed for 9 nights at this property. The condo was really nice, very large with 3 master suites. The main upstairs bedroom facing the water is huge with a beautiful balcony. The bathroom/shower layout is a bit odd from a privacy perspective, with no separate door to that area. The kitchen was well stocked, each room had huge TV's, but we seldom used them. comfy couch in the main living area. There were beach chairs and floats that we used every day to go to various beaches. This was a big plus. Having the car available for rental was also great. This is the first time we stayed on St John, so we were not sure about the location. It turned out wonderful. 5 minutes to 2 grocery stores, and 10 minutes to Cruz Bay. We were about 20 minutes to the first beaches on north shore. Windmill bar was also about 10-15 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again.

Piece of paradise
This unit is large, beautifully decorated, fully stocked and a short distance to the Westin and Mongoose Junction. The view from the upper deck is stunning. We enjoyed our coffee every morning upstairs. Having a car available was an added bonus. Our concierge Ausra, was amazing! She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! I would definitely stay here again. We really enjoyed our time there.

Wow! This house was amazing. My husband and I took our adult children and their significant others on a trip for Christmas. The house was perfect. The amenities at this house were top notch. A large cooler, snorkel gear for 6, big beach towels, beach chairs, noodles and awesome beach bags in each room. The beds were so comfy and nice little laundry room. The kitchen was also well stocked. Ausra was our contact on the island and met us at our house to help us check in. She offered prior to our arrival to do our grocery shopping and everything was placed nice and neat in the fridge. It was an absolutely perfect vacation and I would highly recommend this house. Thank you!!!
