Great place and service
I usually don't fill these surveys out but our experience was so good I felt compelled.
This condo was perfect for my three daughters and I. Great views, close to all the activity in Cruz Bay, and everything we needed to enjoy the island was supplied. The staff was awesome. Matthew welcomed us to the island and intro'd us to the condo. He was super helpful in preparing us for our stay. I only needed to reach out for help twice and they were great. We had a blackout while there and when the power came back on the water pump needed to be reset. I called the emergency number at 9pm and they had someone there in about 20 mins to take care of us. Highly recommended and I would stay here again for sure. oh yeah... rent a jeep for sure!

Great spot
Nice little condo just outside the main bustle of Cruz Bay. Quiet but less than a minute in to the round about. Loft bedroom is really nice if you have kids old enough to use them. View is fantastic and you're far enough up the hillside to you get a constant breeze and a small temperature drop.

Amazing!!
This condo was wonderful. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. The loft area was challenging to get up to but my 18 and 21 year olds were easily able to get up the ladder. Once in the loft, the space was great. The entire condo was very clean and functional. Great kitchen area and balcony. The location of the unit was 1/2 mile from the town. We were able to walk to and from town but the walk up the hill is very challenging and we are in great shape. The hill's incline was very steep so I would advise walking to town and then taking a taxi if it's night time. My daughter is a college athlete and she used the hill for training purposes!! The street was very quiet so it's very safe to walk on. I would absolutely stay at this place again.

Amazing Stay!!!!!!!!!
Wow...Two words..."THE VIEW" . But also the pool at night.
This is a great property close to town, amazing views, amazing private decks. My only recommendation is that you need a car for this property, but I think you need one on St. John anyway. Also for this specific unit the 2nd bedroom has a ladder to access which we loved and my 10 year old had no problem navigating. 1st room is easy access. Loved the relaxed beach vibe furnishings. Would stay again in a second!

Destiny was a true delight!!
The property matches the VRBO description. Amazing views! It is clean, updated, well maintained, and has such a pleasant tropical vibe. I want to live here! We appreciated the coolers, beach towels, AC and fan options. The extra private sun deck is a nice perk! The kitchen has everything you might need, even little gadgets and miscellaneous items that come in handy. We used the coffee maker and blender. We loved the unique bathroom with the shower of my dreams! Our teen son enjoyed having his own “space” in the loft and navigated the ladder easily. The pool area is clean with the same amazing views. We had it to ourselves most of the time. In the evenings it was nice to meet a few other guests and share tips on what to see and do in St. John. Apparently Cruz Views #4 is a hot commodity because other people staying in the complex said they tried to rebook #4, but we had made our travel plans well in advance. The driveway is extremely steep but we were able to manage it each day, with guts and determination. The blind spot at the top seemed dangerous, but it is not a heavily traveled road. We did not feel it was safe to walk into town due to the lack of sidewalks on Centerline Road but we did see others take it in stride. We were happy to park our jeep at our car rental place (Conrad’s) and enjoy all Cruz Bay had to offer at night. We highly recommend Landlubber for stocking up your kitchen prior to your arrival. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!!

Lovely time at Cruz Views
We very much enjoyed our stay at Cruz Views. The view was amazing! I can’t imagine what a view like that would cost at a resort hotel. Decor was nice. Place was clean and comfortable. Beautiful big shower. Kitchen was fully equipped, although we didn’t use it much. Exactly as pictured. Close to everything. It was pretty private and quiet (not many other guests) at the time we went so that was nice. Just a couple of cons, the little stairs up to the loft were pretty tricky to manage. My husband did not want my six year old going up and down the stairs by himself. And I found it a little difficult myself 😂. Also, just FYI there is a crazy steep street/driveway that turns very sharply down into the complex parking area. Big blind spot when pulling into the street. Need to rent a 4 x 4 vehicle as soon as you book because there will be nothing available if you don’t. Same thing if you plan to go to any of the nicer restaurants- book far in advance. That was a mistake we made. FYI Ronnie’s pizza is very good and they deliver. All in all we loved Cruz Views 😃

***GREAT LOCATION & GORGEOUS VIEWS***
I have been visiting USVI for 30 years and this is my new favorite! Not only is the villa perfection and gorgeous views, the location and proximity to Cruz Bay is less than a mile. The villa #4 Destiny was decorated and fully stocked with necessities such bath towels, linens, soap, several beach towels, two coolers for beach and chairs. Kitchen is fully stocked for cooking however we ate every meal in town. The Villa is quiet and family friendly. Met several occupants from different states and made new friends at the pool. We discovered a new paradise at Hansen Bay! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cruz Views! We are looking to book 14 days in the next few months. Can't wait to come back! We have family on St Thomas and definitely will request Cruz Views provided we can get a reservation.
