The beautiful second floor villa is perfect for a family of four or a romantic couples getaway. With a westward facing patio you will be able to enjoy some of the best sunsets the Caribbean has to offer. At Villa Bougainvillea we provide all guest with an exceptional level of comfort: from watching the sunset to relaxing in a climate controlled living space. Both bedrooms, offer King beds; one of which can be converted into two twins. For the family that wishes to dine in our kitchen is stocked with nothing but the best, all modern appliances; and gas stove. In addition to everything Villa bougainvillea has to offer, you would be able to enjoy ocean views from shared lounge pool.

Great location!
We have been coming to STJ for over a decade and have stayed at several locations. Cruz Bay is always our favorite. This villa did not disappoint, walk to town and easily accessible for parking the rental car. Exceptionally clean and stocked perfectly for a week stay. The only downfall is the stairs with your luggage to get to the unit, but that’s typical on the island.

Wonderful Villa!
The villa exceeded our expectations. It was very clean. The pool was wonderful. It was within walking distance to town (about 5-7 minutes). The views are amazing. There were plenty of beach chairs and noodles (and even some snorkeling gear). Management was very responsive and provided us with great recommendations for food and activities. I highly recommend this villa.

Loved this unit. Short walk into Cruz bay but be aware it’s uphill back to the villa! Beautiful views and great place to stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Near town, lovely view
Villa was as depicted but what listing doesn’t tell you is that the communication and hospitality from property manager Chris is top notch. Met us at the ferry and took us to villa, passed on needed info, responded to needs during stay. Highly recommended. Tips: while walkable to town, rent a car and have groceries ordered in before arrival.

Location was spot on, walked to Cruz bay for dinner, shopping and to catch the taxis. The property was very clean and had all the amenities one needed. The pool was refreshing, the balconies were fun. Kelly, the property manager, was very cordial and helpful.

Lovely property, great location
Perfect for two couples. Beautifully maintained & top of the line fixtures & finishes. Being able to watch the sunset over St. Thomas was a highlight. Location is perfect for accessing Cruz Bay and there is a small market nearby. A couple of concerns include no follow-through on communication with the property manager; also beach chairs, noodles, etc were in very poor condition. We ended up renting that stuff every day. Grill had no gas so we were unable to use it. It is a beautiful property with a few rough edges to smooth out.

Great Cruz Bay Retreat
Had a great 10 day stay in St John. Great location, easy walk into Cruz Bay, quiet neighborhood. Condo was wonderful, comfortable, pool refreshing. Great views from the balcony. Management willing to help with anything, next time I'll let them find a car rental.

St John Trip
This was a our first visit to St John and the USVI's. The property has amazing views just like the pictures. It was perfect for our family of four. Very clean and nice, good location once the construction next door is complete. It was nice to be able to walk to town and restaurants as parking is in in short supply on the island. We would stay here again if we ever get the opportunity to go back to St John. Thanks!

Better than we expected!!!!
This property was even better than we expected. Clean, GREAT view from the main room and balcony. Rosie was great and had all of our provisions there waiting on us. The pool is also great and the kids loved it. No need to rent a car if you don't want to. This is very close (2 block walk) to the shopping, restaurants, and bars of Cruz Bay. All of the beaches are a short cab ride from Cruz Bay. We will definitely rent this Villa again!

Beautiful view!!!
Goodness!! I can’t say enough about the view from our 3rd floor apartment!! But besides that, the apartment was clean, beautiful and came fully equipped with full kitchen, and a washer and dryer. So every evening we enjoyed quiet dinners while watching the sun set.
