Entire place
You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Sea/Sunset Views, Quiet Privacy near NP Beaches/Town, A/C, Pool, Grill, Parking
Bliss at Cruz Views (#1, with it's own private grill, own parking spot, dishwasher, individually-controlled a/c units in MBR and living area and upper BR, and many extra amenities) is a VERY popular unit that is constantly booked with repeat guests.
Great internet if you can work from anywhere, why not work from paradise?
Affordable, comfortable, island elegance for up to 4 guests, including children, aged 8 and older.
2-story, stand-alone, penthouse townhome (like a private villa.) Offering full A/C, expansive sea and sunset views, close to town and the amazing North Shore National Park Beaches.
Expansive sea views filled with islands, cays and seafaring ocean activity as well as tropical scents and sounds from surrounding bougainvillea, jasmine, orchids, bromeliads, mandavilla, hummingbirds, bananaquits, coqui frogs, and so much more.
Enjoy the designer bed and bath linens, living and dining area furniture, kitchen cabinets and backsplash, original art from local artists, new TVs, games, and DVDs.
Bliss has everything you need to go to its 20+ beautiful beaches and explore the island, from books, guides, fish, bird, plant identifiers to beach chairs, beach towels, beach bags, large, medium and small coolers along with freezie paks and tupperware for your beach snacks, food and beverages.
For those nights you'd rather stay home and cook instead of getting dressed up and go out (although St John is very casual so you really don't have to get 'dressed up',) Bliss has its own private gas grill right outside on your private garden terrace, as well as a combo microwave/multifunction oven including airfrying, roasting, grilling etc, cooktop, dishwasher, and is fully equipped with every pot and pan, utensil, spice and herb that you would ever need (including an electric can opener, lobster pot and utensils, electric can opener, etc.)
Bliss is the only Cruz Views unit available direct through owner! If you look at the picture of the sand-colored building, that whole building is Bliss (like a stand-alone, private villa of your own at condo prices--the best of both worlds!!)
Bliss's upstairs bedroom provides you with the option of either 2 Twin Beds or 1 extremely comfortable King Bed.
Bliss also includes your own private parking spot right above the unit and--set among a lovely tropical garden frequently scented with jasmine--is a beautiful saline-filtered pool (gentle on your skin) shared with the guests from the other 8 units but often yours alone!
Bliss can very comfortably, and safely, and luxuriously, accommodate 1-4 guests, including singles, couples, families including children over 7 years of age, as it is not safely designed for children younger than that due to the spiral staircase and 1/2 wall in the upper BR.
Bliss: offering you all the comforts of home along with the unique tropical experience of enjoying the Caribbean of the past. Since St. John is 2/3 National Park, most of its pristine beaches and tropical-forest covered hills have thankfully been preserved in their original state, unmarred and unscarred by the rampant development characterizing most other Caribbean islands today.
Welcome to my dream--my home in Paradise!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fenced private yard, a coffee maker, and a safe. Change of towels is available on request.

Bliss Host was very informative with tips. She also gave us notes on beaches and restaurants which was very helpful. Michael from the local office was very upbeat and polite.

Bliss is a great name for this gem!
Everything about this place was fantastic. The property manager called us and met us in town (that was a first!). The owner made sure that we had everything that we need (that was a first!). We had absolutely no issues with the place (yes, that was a first!)We were warned that if the power went out there would be no water. We were told that we should fill the red bucket with water in case there was a power outage. We didn’t and that was our fault. My recommendation is to fill the bucket!

Superb spot in St. John
We had an amazing stay at Bliss villa. The villa was so clean and well stocked, with everything we needed and more. Everything that is available for your use is high quality and thoughtfully provided. The host gave us excellent directions and very helpful tips to help us enjoy our stay on the island. We were greeted by a local rep for the complex who arranged a taxi to pick us up and showed us all around the villa. We called the agency once for a battery change on the safe and they came out promptly to do so. The villa is at the top of the complex, affording privacy and beautiful views. There were a couple of power outages while we were there - this is relatively common on the island - but it was not much of an issue thanks to the host’s advance directions. I do think that guests with accessibility issues might not find this an optimal option - the land around the condo is quite steep. Our boys loved sleeping up in the loft though and we all had plenty of space.

A piece of paradise in St. John
We had an excellent time staying at Bliss at Cruz Bay Villas! We loved the location since it was close to town but far away that it was quiet throughout the day and evenings. Our kids loved the pool in the complex especially after dinner or after the beach. Our unit and the whole complex was clean and well taken care of. Parking here was very good. The owner (Cynthia) and the property management on the island were easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for hosting us!

Beautiful villas but had issues
The villas were very nice. There were a few problems. We received a call one week before our vacation and were told that the place was double booked!! Cynthia was very apologetic. To rectify the issue she booked two places one for 5 days and another for 3 days. This was very inconvenient to have to move in the middle of our vacation when we had a tour booked that morning at 8am. I feel we were not compensated at all for this. She would be willing to give us 10% off our NEXT visit, which I feel was not compensation. The cleaners moved everything for us and were really nice. One day we had no water. I called that morning at 9 AM to notify the office. We went to the beach for the day by 3 o’clock when we returned no water. I had to contact the office again! I guess a switch was broken and a plumber was getting the part to fix it. It would have been nice for someone to call me and let me know the status.

Amazing property
Staying at Bliss was one of the better VRBO experiences we've had in the past few years. The leadup to our arrival was made smooth and easy by continuous communication with the owner and the management agency. We were met on our arrival and escorted to the condo by a representative who gave us a quick tour and answered all our questions. The property itself is in great shape and has everything you could possibly ask for in a beach/island rental. The view is spectacular, and we spent most mornings enjoying coffee on the patio and watching the island wake up. Lots of little things about Bliss that made it a great experience; games and books galore, up-to-date flatscreens with streaming apps installed, even the wild orchids growing outside the shower window - everything about this place exceeded our expectations. Don't know when we'll be back to St. John - but I know where we'll be staying.

This is the second time we've stayed in this complex. Both stays were great but we like this unit better than the other. Layout was much better suited to our family with our two boys at age 9 and 11. Unit was very comfortably outfitted and had a great view off the deck. Spent a lot of time out there drinking coffee watching the boats go.

Another amazing week on St. John, and the accommodations at Bliss, Estate Enighed only added to the experience. Being high on the hill, the views from the deck are breathtaking. You are very close to town, and just off of Centerline Road, so it’s easy to get anywhere your heart desires on the island quickly. We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Perfect for us!
We've just returned from a week at "Bliss" and loved it! Very clean and organized, richly stocked kitchen (lots of tableware, glassware, small appliances, even a selection of sharp knives), comfortable beds, nice linens and decor and furniture. A/c worked great throughout the spacious main living area and bedrooms. Up to date bath with hand held shower and plenty of room. Wonderful views and delightful pool. Host is lovely to chat with about any questions. Easy 1/2 mile drive to town - 5 in to grocery store. We rent on St. John each year and this felt like our new home! Good beach chairs (but only one high boy, if that matters), umbrella, coolers, even beach bags! We snorkeled at a different park beach every day, came back in time for a swim in the ample sized pool, showered and headed out to dinner (make reservations way in advance and don't miss Lobster night at Morgan's Mango). Evenings relaxing on the comfortable sofa with our books or catching a show on the easy to work TV. All and all and A+ time. We will be back!

What a gem!!
We had an incredible time at Bliss in April! Cynthia communicated well and had someone local greet us at the dock who made sure we got our car and got settled at the condo.
When I say fully stocked, I mean everything including extra special details were thought of! From Bath and Body Works hand soaps, Ulta body wash, extra towels, plenty of dishes, pots, pans, coolers and supplies, Cynthia really takes care to make sure that her guests are comfortable and feel the conveniences of home. There are beach chairs, an umbrella, snorkel gear for kids and adults, a hose to rinse off, great working AC and WiFi, plenty of hot water and shower pressure, tons of clothes hangers, games, movies, books, beautiful flowers, and the views from every room are INCREDIBLE!! Waking up and going to bed with a hilltop view of St. John was simply breathtaking.
The patio is huge and private, with plenty of space to dry wet clothes and to sit and enjoy the view. The grocery store was less than 5 minutes down the hill and downtown was only 1 minute farther. It was such an easy trip back and forth if we needed anything and convenient to get around the island from this location.
The pool is a minute walk down a hill to the middle of the property. The view is amazing there as well and the pool was extremely clean and comfortable. As other guests said, we didn’t see anyone else while there so it felt very private!
We cannot recommend this rental enough! It will add so much enjoyment to your trip!

Great Spot
Quality finishes, furnishings and appliances/acccessories, AC worked well, nice shared pool area, unit in complex overlooks all other units so very private, very convenient to downtown Cruz Bay, quiet street and great views overlooking Turner and Cruz bays. 2nd bedroom is a spacious loft accessed via a spiral staircase.
Minor cons: no back up power capabilities and internet was not consistent and reliable. We were not at unit enough to be severely impacted. Owner cares about your stay and is more responsive than management company, which speaks volumes about the owner, but not so much about the management firm. Power outages were occurring during stay but were communicated and scheduled in two hour intervals (twice per day) as repairs were being made.
Highly recommended for families with older children and couples who don’t need privacy in 2nd bedroom. Loft has windows with great views as well.

It truly is bliss
We’ve been to St. John several times but this was our first stay here and we will be back! Cynthia has thought of everything so you can have a wonderful stay. There were beach chairs, two coolers, snorkels, several beach towels and even a wash line on the patio perfect for hanging your wet towels and suits. We thoroughly enjoyed having coffee on the patio and watching the island come to life down below. We also made dinner on the grill and loved having such a delightful outdoor space.
The villa was very clean with a huge second bedroom in the loft that was perfect for our party of 3. The bathroom was magnificent with a lovely shower. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals.
This property has its own parking space close to the unit which was perfect for our Jeep. We made good use of the communal pool which was wonderfully maintained. WiFi was excellent too.
This location is superb. Right down the hill from Dolphin Market and not far at all from Cruz Bay. Look forward to staying here again.

Pure Bliss!
As described. Stunning views of Cruz Bay and St.Thomas. Communications were easy and prompt. Walking distance to Cruz Bay is doable. Down is a breeze, just be prepared for the uphill return. Great for a morning workout. Pool was warm and often to ourselves. Reminder to bring your own reusable bags as many markets do not provide bags.
Totally recommend Bliss.
