Great for families or for couples seeking a secluded getaway, Odessa nestles on a hillside that flows into multi textured Hart Bay in Chocolate Hole.
The private beach is shared with only a few other houses - no public parking to this beach!
A stone path leads down to excellent hiking, sunning, swimming or snorkeling among exotic coral and tropical fish.
RECENTLY REMODELED, stone walls with arched windows, blue and white clapboard, lattice and gingerbread detailing convey classic West Indian charm. Folding French Doors open the entire front of the house to a panorama of sights and sounds of the sea. Gentle off-shore waves and rocks texture the bay. Dine at the indoor bar or at the outside table.
Kids under 18 stay free. (No kids under 6 for safety reasons)
Enjoy the Natural Beauty Surrounding Odessa: The private lower level offers two bedrooms with queen-size beds, full bathrooms and a spacious deck. A sofa and roll-away bed can accommodate other guests. Every room in this West Indian style house faces the ocean and has open air verandas with screens. At night you hear only the surf and tree frogs.
Odessa is located on the southwest corner of St. John in the Chocolate Hole area on Hart Bay. It is about five minutes from the village of Cruz Bay. The house has a full kitchen, living room, three bedrooms (lower two with A/C and upper with ceiling fans) with queen-sized beds, TV and VCR, three full baths, spacious decks, a Jacuzzi and a swimming pool.

The view from the decks and pool are breathtaking. Our favorite was sitting on the lower deck listening to the waves crash and falling asleep to the pound of them.If we make it back to St. John we will find ourselves here again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Daughter Steph: Thank you so much for a wonderful week at Odessa! I’m pretty sure the view and the breeze beat any beach we went to! The house is beautiful and I must say the stairs are killers Daughter Chris: Thank you for an amazing week it was a blast! Odessa is a great house but the stairs are a killer. The cat is my new best friend. She is so nice and we fed the hermit crabs Daughter Britt: I had an amazing vacation. The view was relaxing and took my breath away. Thanks! Mom and Dad Lisa and Woody: Love the house. Love the view. Love the cat. Great week. Thank you!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We enjoyed relaxing by the pool after a busy day at the beach. The location is the best…private…but close to everything you could need. Loved the view and we all had lots of space but the kids liked “Kiwi” the cat most of all! We hope to go back soon.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The scenery is beautiful and we really enjoyed the pool after a day at our “beach of the day.”! It is so relaxing just listening to the waves – and we loved the kitty cat – it was nice to have a kitty on vacation. We called her “meow-meow” she is a very nice kitty and loves to sleep on your lap when sitting out on the deck! We really liked the openness of the home and the décor (especially the Donald Schnell pieces!) We hope to return soon.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Our family absolutely loves the gorgeous view and the nice, cool breezes in May. Not too many mosquitoes this month either! The cat sure does love to greet us and beg for food :p into the house through the master bedroom! But anyway, we definitely enjoyed our 10th stay on St. John and we’ll come back next May to this wonderful villa.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Odessa. We had a wonderfully peaceful time there, with a beautiful open view of Hart Bay and further along St John’s south coast. It really felt like we were “living on St. John” and enjoyed getting the fresh ocean breezes. The owner’s description calling it a “classic rental” is very appropriate, and the pictures posted are good– it had everything we needed, beach towels, all kitchen items, etc. The kitchen is separated from the living area with a bar, so it was great when I was cooking and my boyfriend was reading on the couch - and the views from there are beautiful. The upstairs (main) bedroom is behind the kitchen and the outside deck runs the entire length of the upper floor (we only used the top bedroom, there are two bedrooms below). There is even an outdoor stone shower, which was a real vacation treat! (We understand there are many of these at homes on St. John) The house is situated down a few steps from where we parked on a dead end road, so it is very private. We walked down to Hart Bay beach each morning on a little private path, and were usually the only two there. The pool and deck look very new, and we spent allot of time up there –it is very peaceful. The house is close to Cruz Bay so easy to go to in for groceries or shopping. Just go to any bar and they will give you dining and shopping ideas based on what you like! Hiking and beaches are great here!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 7/7
