About this property

Oceanfront Villa W/ Pool & Stunning Bay Views!

Summary:
Life’s a breeze when you’re on holiday at the beautiful Beach Garden. Set close to the water near Great Cruz Bay, this unique St. John vacation home offers stunning waterfront living spaces, a luxurious pool-side patio and even an unforgettable ocean-view outdoor shower. Despite its secluded location and private atmosphere, Beach Garden is also just minutes from shopping, dining and the beach.

The Space:
Watch the sun sparkle on the water from an expansive terrace with outdoor living and dining areas and an infinity pool or pause for reflection by the koi pond or in the meditation garden. After the sun goes down, watch the stars come out while relaxing in the hot tub on the terrace, settle in by the satellite television or share snaps of the day via Wi-Fi.


The villa’s impressive stonework and refined furnishings set it apart from other Caribbean estates. Beach Garden is built around an open-concept great room with a high ceiling and rows of doors on both sides. Its living and dining areas are chic yet comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. To ensure your comfort, the rooms are also air conditioned.


The four bedrooms at this luxury property can accommodate groups of up to eight friends or extended family. All four have king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and their own balconies or gardens. Two of the bedrooms face the ocean, including one with a screened-in outdoor shower facing the bay, and the others face the courtyard.


***A high chair and pack and play can be made available for no additional fee. Please request prior to arrival.
***A recreation package can be added to your reservation for an additional fee. Please reach out for more information.

Guest Access:
Our guest relations team will provide you with a door code prior to your arrival.

The Neighborhood:
Beach Garden is just a 5-minute drive from town, where you can browse for souvenirs, dine out or arrange an excursion at a dive center, and a 6.4 km drive from the beach, where you’ll find locals and honeymooners soaking in the scenery.

Great location and beautiful house

House location excellent and outdoor spaces were amazing. House was listed as having a working hot tub, we were told when checked in it did not work. Stove did not fully work and appliances were a bit weathered. For price point expect these things to be working appropriately. Property was extremely clean and were pleased with the bed linens and towels. Beautiful outdoor spaces enjoyed by all. House does have some wear but overall beautiful indoors as well. Some small touches would make a big difference w the price point. Had mid week cleaning and they did a wonderful job.

Beautiful home!

Beach garden is a beautiful home with a great view and very close to town. Very well appointed kitchen perfect for cooking and hosting a personal chef who had everything they needed to prepare a meal. Very clean upon arrival with upgraded linens, towels and beach towels. The home itself is beautiful but in need of some maintenance and replacement of some items and furniture. With that being said tho it had everything we needed and Curtis the host was a great communicator.

This home is an opportunity to be better for the rental price.

Positives: House is nicely located near Cruz Bay. Inside of the home is spacious.Areas of Improvement: the home as it presented is in need of a lot of updating.New kitchen appliances, cabinets, and countertops.HVAC system does not function properly in the entire home. Upstairs system is very loud with some rooms very cold and other areas downstairs too warm.Not able to control temperature properly.The patch work on the pool tiles need to be redone.The last night we had a rainstorm that was not heavy however water was leaking from some windows and doors causing a safety hazard on the top landing of second floor and in the bedroom off the first floor entrance.New upholstery on the furniture would be a welcoming improvement.

Property did not meet expectations to match the cost

It is evident this property hasn’t been maintained to justify the price point. The roof had multiple leaks, windows/doors were missing hardware, dishware and glassware were worn and cheap, knives dull and coffee makers were worn and not maintained. Pans were awful, cheap and worn, but thankfully were replaced at our request.. which was much appreciated! The property was clean and it is a beautiful location. Like a prior post, there is no generator and we were without power for several hours one evening. This is supposedly being addressed with a new roof and solar panels.

Significant issues with home - Rent at your own risk

First, the good. The home is beautiful and is in a wonderful location. It's well appointed, and the caretaker (Mr. Penn) is terrific. Now the bad. The home has no backup generator. St. John has been going through power issues over the past couple of months. Daily power outages are typical. When the power is out, you have no power, no air conditioning and no water (pumps stop working). During our trip, we were without power for more than 40 hours total, including 24 hours straight at one point. I was filling up the toilets with pool water so we could flush the toilets. After the 2nd straight day of this, we decided to leave STJ early and head to a hotel in St. Thomas where we knew we'd have air conditioning. My pregnant daughter in law was with us, and I just could not chance another night of sleeping in an 85 degree house. In addition to the power issues, the home has significant leak issues. There was heavy rain while we were there, and we had to clean up multiple areas of the house from the leaks, including a huge leak at the bottom of the stairs. Huge safety issue on the slippery floors. I spoke to the caretaker multiple times. He said that he's been asking the management company to put a generator on site for months, but that they had refused to do so. He said that they were also aware of the leaks but had not fixed them. The management company knows about these issues, but did not inform in advance or take proper steps to prevent the issues. Rent at your own risk.

Amazing vacation spot

This is an amazing property. The house was perfect for our family vacation with adult children and grandchild. Everything was spotless and the house was big enough so we never felt cramped. The views, outdoor space and pool were amazing. Location was convenient to restaurants, grocery store and beaches. We all agreed that this was our best vacation ever.

Just what’s needed

We loved our stay on St. John. Apart from the island’s beautiful beaches and clear turquoise water, this home was the icing on the cake! Loved the architecture of the home and it’s smooth layout. The home has so many relaxing areas to help get you on island time! From the pool with a view to the indulging bedrooms, you can’t help but feel you’ve come to a very special place.

The Easter Bunny LOVES Chocolate Hole

My family and I spent spring break, including Easter, at Beach Garden Villa in Chocolate Hole! The home was better than advertised! The location of the property would make us hop back; close to town for excursions, remarkable views, nearby to groceries and other conveniences. The kitchen was fully equip to enjoy our holiday meal and gather with our family around a large al fresco dinner table, waves crashing in the background. The home's caretaker greeted us at the ferry and offered us access to his number if needed- which we didn't. I explored many options online and even while on the island in person and was not able to find something quite as charming and beautiful as this estate. I would love to visit again and I am sure the bunny would too!

Besties Vacation

This beautiful home accommodated our party of 6 adults with ease. With 4 master suites, and lots of living spaces the group had plenty of options for together and separate time. The quality, comfort and location of the home was more than we could ask for. We so appreciated the assistance that Curtis gave us from day one pick-up to our last day drop-off at the ferry. We all had a wonderful time on St. John and at Beach Garden.

Beach Garden Villa

Everything with the house and rental experience was 5 star - the property was awesome; but it is St. John, so access to the water from the Villa wasn’t easy and probably couldn’t be accessed for people less fit than we happen to be. Regardless - very nice experience

This home exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do it justice at all! Every room is beautiful - with space enough for our 3 adult couples to be together or have privacy. Curtis mad everything seamless and his response time was quick and so helpful!! We went to sleep at night to the sounds of the ocean and had morning coffee overlooking the beautiful bay. Book this property - it’s very special!

Great outdoor spaces and location

Great outdoor spaces and location. We enjoyed easy access to snorkeling in Chocolate Hole — saw many sea turtles and sting rays. Loved having coffee in the morning on the ocean front terraces. The interior of this home is in need of a refresh/repair from ongoing rental wear and tear. Fortunately we spent most time at the beach or outdoors.

Nice Place but Needs a Refresh

Our stay at Beach Garden Villa was nice, but not exactly what we expected. First the positives: the house itself is lovely (stone work, tile, etc. really well done) and conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and beaches. We loved the many seating areas and our time spent on the back patio and the upper deck was comfortable with beautiful views. The view of Chocolate Hole provided a scenic and soothing venue. The Villa is laid out well and is beautifully built. There was more than enough space for three couples to unwind and relax. There were, however, some disappointments. For the cost, we expected a 5-star experience, but there were issues that left us feeling dissatisfied. The koi pond shown on the website in the front of the house does not exist. It is only dirt and weeds. When we questioned the property manager (who was extremely helpful and responsive during our stay) we were told it had not been there “for a long time.” Then why is it on the website? Our first view when we walked through the door was of a badly stained entry table – not exactly a great look. And there were other issues. The refrigerator needs to be replaced. Its hinges are rusted and not properly fastened, and the door squeaks every time it is opened. Water puddles on the lowest shelf. We discovered this after food on that shelf had become completely soaked. The ice maker was broken (the property manager brought us bags of ice and told us it would be fixed during our stay, but that did not happen). The espresso machine did not work. When we walked out to the lower back patio, we found an ashtray full of cigarette butts as well as several cigar butts. This property is listed as “no smoking,” which was important to us. Some bath towels and a bath mat were ripped. In one of the first floor bedrooms, there is an indoor and an outdoor shower. The outdoor shower produced only a trickle of water and was unusable (the outdoor shower in the second floor bathroom worked well). The curtains in at least one of the bedrooms had been turned backward (we noticed the tag was on the wrong side) because they are badly stained on the front side. The beautiful pool on the upper level has tiles missing , with patchwork repair. Repair of the pool tiles was simply incomplete. Some of these complaints may sound picky, but in aggregate, they added up to a less-than-ideal experience. The Villa is very nice, but is becoming a bit dated and could use a refresh.

Beautiful villa on Chocolate Hole

The Beach Garden Villa was the perfect place for celebrating my 60th birthday with friends. Its location on Chocolate Hole where the snorkeling is awesome was perfect for our group. We could access the water from the villa and rented the recreation package so that we had kayaks and SUPs along with snorkeling gear. There are many turtles in the bay and the snorkeling over on the south side at the mouth of the bay is terrific. The Villa was perfect with 4 identical master suites - although the one with the outdoor shower facing the water was exceptional. Lots of outdoor living spaces, a beautiful pool for cooling off and plenty of indoor seating as well which was great for the times that the no-see-ums came out. The kitchen was very well appointed, the Starfish Market was 5 minutes away and 10 minutes to many great dining options in Cruz Bay. We grilled fish several of the nights and it was nice to have linen knapkins and nice placemats on the table. Lovely fluffy white towels and crisp white sheets with plenty of pillows on the beds. The internet worked well so those of us that had to get some work done, could. Dior was terrific and very connected. She really helped us out when our car rental at the airport in St Thomas fell through and she hooked us up with Mr Pipers Jeep Rental on St John. Not an easy task on a Saturday. All in all, a wonderful experience!
