Beautiful view but had a few issues
Beautiful place and view. Def not a walk to town because of the steep incline, but the view is breathtaking. 3 out of the 5 days we stayed we had significant issues with no water and no power. The villa number we called was quick to get someone on it but we had to cancel our dinner reservation 2 of the days because of no water and power to get ready appropriately since we had been at the beach. Staff was good to keep us updated on progress but on the island it is just a slow process.

Nice Cruz Views Unit
We stayed 3 weeks. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Communications with the property managers was excellent. The unit was spotless. Kitchen was well stocked. View was fantastic. As an end unit, it was nice to have room to spread out on the deck as the interior was a bit cramped. We suggest that the heavy furniture be swapped out for smaller furniture. Also suggest repositioning the tv to make viewing easier. Mattress has a memory foam topper which made it very comfortable. The AC unit was a bit noisy. We slept with the fan on and AC off. Overall a very nice stay. We'll be back.

Take me back!
We usually stay at the Westin and are so happy we tried Cruz View Villa. It was perfect for our family. The view from the balcony we enjoyed every morning and evening. We cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner on Christmas night in the fully equipped kitchen. The kids enjoyed the pool daily, even after hours at a different beach all 10 days of our stay. We will definitely be back here for our 4th trip to St John!

Mosaic Sunset
My husband and I stayed here for a week on our babymoon and absolutely loved this property! The proximity to Cruz Bay makes it very convenient for accessing just about any place on the island. There is a grocery store as well as several restaurants right down the street. The villa was very clean and well maintained. Our favorite parts of our trip were enjoying coffee on the front porch every morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. The views cannot be beat. We’ll be staying here again next time we’re in St. John!
