You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spacious 2/Bed, 2/Ba, Pool, A/C Bedrooms, Screened Porch, Wi-Fi

Harts Delight is a very large, open and spacious villa featuring two air conditioned bedrooms, two full baths, high vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, a spacious Great Room and a large screened in porch area with views you will never want to take your eyes off! The villa was built on the hillside to capture the trade winds coming from the sea. To offer the utmost privacy, each bedroom is located on opposite sides of the villa. Spending your days lounging at the pool and eating dinner at the table on the screened in porch or the deck are great ways to spend the day when not enjoying the other parts of the island! The master bedroom has a king bed, the guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a king size bed for a couple or left as two twin beds to accommodate children.

Harts Delight being nestled in to the picturesque hills of Chocolate Hole on the South Shore of this beautiful island. Awaken each morning to the breath-taking views of Harts Bay and St. Croix in the distance. You will enjoy all paved roads on your way to your vacation villa. Upon coming down the driveway you will experience a home with beautiful landscaping including banana, starfruit and papaya trees that you can pick the fruit when ripe and eat right off of the tree. You will find yourself relaxing immediately upon entering the villa. Within walking distance of the Westin Resort, Harts Delight is less than a two minute drive to the popular village of Cruz Bay, offering many dining and shopping options, places to just sit and relax sip a cocktail and take in the relaxed pace of Island life.

There is a one bedroom vacation rental on the lower floor of this Villa. Both rentals share a common driveway and parking area with separate entrances and complete privacy from each other. The pool is not shared or used in any way by the lower rental and has complete privacy. The whole house can also be rented as a 3 bed/3 bath villa.

Excellent in every way
Excellent. All as described. Gorgeous view from the covered patio. Very spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. The host was very responsive and gave good directions from the ferry. When a heavy storm drove water onto the patio, a maintenance man arrived in less than an hour in response to a text.

Amazing Views Beautiful House Perfect Location
We absolutely loved every part of our trip, from Sinbad meeting us at the ferry dock until we walked out the door to go home. The house is very well appointed with everything you could need. Very clean. Thank you for a perfect trip. Hope to return again very soon.

A bit of heaven!
Perfect size villa for 2-4. Loved the layout and the large screened porch was fabulous! Enjoyed an amazing view of the sun rising with my coffee. Very private even with a lower level. Tastefully decorated and with everything we needed from towels to untensils, rum to coolers! I've been blessed to visit SJ 5 times....will def be back to stay at Harts Delight. - PH

Great week at Harts Delight
Renting was a very easy and smooth experience, communication was really good and I felt very confident we would have a great week, which we did. The house was perfect for our family of four with a large screened-in porch offering beautiful views to relax on after long days snorkeling. It was also nice to be able to cook in and not have to eat out unless we wanted to. The location of this property is fantastic - super convenient to Cruz Bay (from where you can pick up any road to take you where ever you want for the day), local grocery stores, and the car ferry dock.

Gorgeous view and 5 minutes to town
We absolutely loved our stay at Harts Delight and visiting the island of St.John! The house was just perfect for us, the screened in porch with great views was amazing in the mornings for coffee and at the end of the day while enjoying our cocktails. The pool is perfect for cooling off after laying out in the sun. The house had everything that we needed (and more.....games, cards, books and even some books about the island) and it was so easy to work with Chris to book and when we arrived, Abby was so knowledgeable about the house and the island. We will definitely be back but longer next time! St. John is our new favorite spot and we will stay at Harts Delight again!

Fantastic property and perhaps the best layout of any island beach house ever.
Rented during spring break week and couldn't have been happier. The fantastic layout of the house with a huge screened in porch as its centerpiece was fantastic. The beds were very comfortable. Every small detail was thought of (such as each light switch was labeled). The showers gave the feeling of being outdoors. A million dollar view. A great location with a fifteen minute hike to Hart's Bay beach. Greeted with rum punch and a stocked bar. Left feeling totally relaxed. Need I say more?

Not as expected
I had booked this at the last minute and didn't really read right that the AC was ONLY in the bedrooms. That alone would have been manageable if there was a generator for the property. Given the amount of outages on the island, this should have been a no brainer for the owner. There were cockroaches seen by all 4 of us. The last communication from the property manager was SMH when I asked about the generator on the second day. Told the property is for sale and it shows that they don't care about the renters. The beds were uncomfortable. The location was great.

perfect house for an incredible trip
There is not one bad thing I can say about our stay here. We were met by Sinbad at aqua blue, and he led the way to the house pointing out all the necessary stops we would need while here (gas grocery garbage) He gave us the tour of the home and helped us get situated with his rocket fuel which as much needed after a day of traveling. The house has it all, open air views, comfy beds, stocked kitchen, some booze, some left over sunscreen and bug spray, maps, books, games, tv, radio, beach chairs, towels, coolers, snorkel gear, pool noodles, etc. Just bring yourself and some bathing suits! nice location close to cruz bay, just absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to come back and rent the lower level as well with some more friends!

The place was nice. Smelled musty when you first got there. Several fans did not work. Towels in masterbath smelled bad, had to wash to wash them & still had an odor. Blood on bottom sheet & pillow case but did not notice till day of leaving. Living room TV quit working midway through our stay but really didn't care. Good location. Lots of things handy like coolers, & ice packs, fins, & things for the beach. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Good Overall
The screened-in area that looks out over Chocolate Hole is breathtaking. The flowers on the property are beautiful, and the greenspace is well maintained. Our property manager was an excellent person who greeted us warmly and was very accessible. This property would be magnificent if upkeep and maintenance were a higher priority. Small things like a dysfunctional shower head in the main bathroom, an exit door to the pool that needs to be squared (so one does not need to lift it to open it), non-working smoke detectors, and a refrigerator that stopped working a couple of days before departure were distractions--but we were okay. If you find things like that unbearable you would have been frustrated. On-site washer and dryer are a huge plus. Comfortable beds and furniture, very clean, not so well-lighted, but inviting. It was perfect for two couples, and I would book the property in the future (I have stayed in 7 other properties on the island). Overall, I would give the property a rock-solid B.

Great view!
The view is fantastic and we loved the kitchen for making dinner together. We thought the pictures did an excellent job showing the actual property pool. The pool was really nice and the screened in porch is where we spent most of our time when we were home. The Property manager was extremely responsive if we had questions or needed anything. The place itself is not brand new and needs a little TLC. If that type of thing bothers you it might not be the right rental for you. It did not bother us and we were thrilled with the clean beds and clean bathrooms. The layout of the place is great because we each had our section of house - our bedroom and bathroom were on opposite sides, which gave us the privacy we wanted traveling with another couple.

Wonderful Hart's Delight
The spaciousness of this house is truly amazing - huge living room and screened in porch are highlights. The porch was our "home" for our stay - it has a beautiful view of Hart Bay and on to St. Croix on a clear day. The kitchen is spacious too, pretty well stocked and with some spices and herbs there which was nice. Ice maker/water dispenser in frig. was nice too. Bedrooms are very good size and so are the bathrooms. It was very nice to have all paper products and soaps supplied. Pool is small but fine; lounge area by pool is also small. A/c and fans in bedrooms were great, as were the fans in kitchen, bathrooms and living room. It was very easy communicating with Abby who was very responsive. Driveway is steep and narrow but manageable going slow. Fresh fruit grows on trees that you can harvest! Iguana visitor likes the pool deck! All in all this is a wonderful house!

Pictures Don't Do It Justice!
This is the first review I've ever done but it was absolutely necessary considering the amazing experience we had here. We rented a car on St. Thomas and Sinbad met us right off of the car barge on St. John. He was absolutely wonderful....showed us around the house, how to work everything and most importantly provided us with our first cocktail! He gave us several suggestions on where to dine and go out and he was spot on with each recommendation. The pictures that are posted here to do not do the house justice. It is absolutely gorgeous! It was a perfect layout for us...we traveled with one other couple and the bedrooms are separated by the living room and screened in porch so we each got a bit of privacy. The view is incredible and it was nice to be able to take a dip in the pool. We borrowed the snorkel gear several times which was VERY convenient for heading to the amazing beaches. The house provided us with everything we needed and more. Wish we could have stayed longer and I would absolutely recommend it to others! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The PERFECT House!
Meeting Sinbad at the dock ferry and entering this beautiful house to a stocked bar including beer and set-ups and Sinbad pouring us our first rum punch...we knew we had picked the PERFECT House! Meeting Angie & Dan the first morning was a special treat as well! The screened in porch made the house feel so large. We loved sitting there and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. We went exploring one morning and found a beach trail to the beach you can see from the porch....watched the sunrise from there. It was amazing! We appreciated all of the detailed reviews here which helped us choose this house (we are very picky). They were all very accurate! We used the beach chairs, coolers, floats, noodles, snorkel equipment, binoculars and the rum! I even read a book from the library... The basket of suntan lotions and bug spray was very helpful. There were renters downstairs and we never even saw them. We enjoyed the semi outdoor/indoor shower and loved having double sinks in the master bedroom...just like home! The house was very clean, quiet and safe. We never closed one window! The only bad part was leaving... When we return to St. John, this will be the rental for us again!

Great villa
Heart's Delight was close enough to shopping and dining in Cruz Bay but far enough to be quiet. Located in Chocolate Hole area halfway up the hillside, the villa had a great view of the salt pond and the ocean. The Westin Resort was close by where we could grab a taxi since we did not rent a car which would have cost us $800 for since days with car seat rental. We found taxis as a great low-cost alternative to get around. Many told us you have to have a car but we found it easier to walk and take taxis. The walking is for those in good shape, however. The hills are quite steep. The villa itself was a good value (St. John is not cheap though). The property manager was helpful and eager to please us. We had three little ones and there was plenty of space for all five of us. The ad lists the property as 2500 square feet. I'm not sure if this included the screened in porch and basement dwelling or not. But it felt large enough to spread out. The kitchen and living room were nicely appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the AC worked great. The bathrooms could use some updating but were spacious as well. Overall I highly recommend the villa. The landscaping and pool were delightful.

My husband rented this beautiful home for my 60th birthday. Pictures do not do it justice, as this piece of Heaven captured my heart!! It has everything you can think you will need for a stay. The view is breathtaking and dipping into the pool after a long day on island is perfect. Abby met me to let me in and walked around explaining everything. She was such a help with island suggestions. If you are looking for a place in St. John that is beautiful, convenient yet quiet, this is your place! This place has my heart! I will be back to stay!!!

The Villa was great, a perfect place to stay on ST John. Only two problems for us - we were able to connect to the WiFi but had no internet connection the entire time. Abby tried to help but it didn’t work. Also, the pool was green most of our trip. It got serviced the second to last day we were there, so we never used it.
