Villa Ixora Sleeps 2-10 people~ 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, pool, AMAZING views!

Villa Ixora is an 'au natural' villa cooled only by the tropical trade winds of the Caribbean.

As you leave the powder white sands and calm turquoise waters of Maho Bay, you travel a national park mountain road bordered by towering palm trees and other lush vegetation. At 1000 feet you ascend a steep private drive and behold a gorgeous Caribbean villa opening to spectacular views; you've arrived at Ixora.
Ixora is the former home of the late Stephen Ambrose bestselling author and historian. The HBO series Band of Brothers was based on his book.
Your sense of awe will be further enhanced as you step inside Ixora and survey this very beautiful and private, 5-bedroom, 4 bath, luxury home. Ixora consists of 3 traditionally styled buildings connected by decks, tiled walkways, and a garden patio.
A 60 foot pool, surrounded by a 75 foot deck, a dining gazebo, abundant deck furniture, and stunning views provide a delightful daytime playground. At night the low voltage site lights, the breathtaking view, tranquil privacy and the fabled Caribbean moonlight all combine to produce an irresistibly romantic, peaceful, and relaxing evening setting.

The price is based on the number of people who occupy the property. Nightly rate is based on a 1-4 occupancy. Each additional guest above 4 is charged a per person per nights fee. Please enter the correct TOTAL number of guests including children when booking the property. Only paying guests are allowed on the property.

Ixora does NOT have air conditioning.
The villa features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. We loved the layout of the three buildings to allow for space and privacy for our large family. We were traveling with 5 young children and felt safe with great visibility of the pool. The views were better than the lookout points we visited. Rent a vehicle that can handle the steep driveway. Staying so close to our favorite beaches made for guaranteed parking and easier mornings.

We loved every part of our stay here. The sleeping areas being separate from the kitchen/living room was perfect for our group to be able to retire to quite while other people enjoyed the pool at night. There was ample room for our group of six but plenty of space for more. Everything was clean and updated. Our host was attentive and helpful and we had everything we needed. The washing machine and 2 dryers made it easier to pack for the trip as we could wash clothes on the go. The views were beautiful and the view from the top of the hill kept things reasonable cool at night. We loved every second of this house and would stay again on our next island visit. The driveway is a bit steep so make sure you have a good jeep.

Majestic and Serene Setting

This house exceeded all expectations from the views, the pool, hottub and the beach chairs and convenience of location mid island with a very short trip to the beaches. We loved every minute of our very comfortable stay. Also, the beds were so comfortable and private- away from the main house made our sleep so refreshing. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your island dream.

Stunning Views! Island Oasis!

This property is gorgeous! The 3 separate buildings add to the island feel. The main building opens on all sides to enjoy the breezes. The location is great for beaches, Cruz Bay and Coral Bay. Although there is no air conditioning, the breezes and fans lend to a good nights sleep. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean was delightful! The only issue we had was with the mosquitos - with no AC, the main building was open and it got a bit buggy. The bedrooms have screens, so no issue there. Bring lots of bug spray and enjoy!

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Ixora. The home was well situated for exploring the entire island and felt private despite it's location near a main road. It was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There were plenty of bath and beach towels as well as coolers and beach chairs. Our only complaint is that water leaked in around the windows/through the walls in one of the bedrooms every time it rained (which it did for a little bit on several days of our vacation). One night of particularly heavy rain led to water leaking from the ceiling in two different areas (onto our bed and next to our bed onto the floor). From the looks of the ceiling this was not the first time this had occurred. We were told rain might come in from the windows and we should close them if it rained, but this water came in even with the windows closed.

Beautiful villa, perfect for four ladies ready to get away from the snow. Everything you need for a great stay, comfortable and safe. We brought in groceries for breakfast and cocktails, ate a lete lunch to avoid driving the winding roads in the dark. Be prepared to rent a jeep to get around, and drive on the left side.

Near Perfect

This house was everything we needed for a comfortable 2 family vacation. The villa design allowed for privacy and space to spread out. Our kids loved the pool and the adults loved the views which were truly stunning. The kitchen was fully stocked with any accessory we could need and the house was also stocked with plenty of beach and bath towels. You don’t need to bring extra. The only negative was we did have one day of rain and the master bedroom window seal was compromised so there was a bit of water that puddled on the floor but it was easy enough to sop up with some towels and move on with life. Definitely saw our fair share of jungle critters but if that’s not your thing, don’t come to the Caribbean. In an open air villa, you need to expect some sharing of the environments :) We would not hesitate to rent again.

Excellent layout and a accommodations for 10.

Perfect layout for 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 5. Exquisite views of the ocean. close proximity to the main beaches. Lovely family experience. Three issues to think about: accessibility to good food is a problem, bugs and no A/C. Not so much an issue with the property but with the island of St John itself. There is a continual breeze and we are not an A/C family so we were all comfortable. Also, the property was clean and orderly however behind and under beds (where bugs hide) it could use a thorough cleaning. My family made many wonderful memories here. It was perfect for gathering, relaxing and playing together.
