With ocean sounds and views from every room, you will be mesmerized by the changing colors from sunrise to sunset. All your senses will be awakened with the sights, sounds, and smells of this romantic setting. Cool tropical breezes, flowering hibiscus, orchids, palms, and unique native birds are all awaiting your visit to Sanctuary.
This sensual villa captures the essence of the Caribbean. Sanctuary features four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a large gourmet kitchen, swimming pool, hot tub, and expansive decks to lounge and sun. A Zen water fountain spills over a native stone wall into the pool. A large covered veranda provides an outdoor dining experience you will never forget.
The Great Room provides an incredible view of the entire bay through a wall of sliding glass doors that open onto the 55-foot long covered veranda on the water. The stunning 20 foot long designer kitchen features a huge island with built-in cook surface and bar seating for four, custom teak cabinetry, granite counter tops, stainless steel refrigerator, convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and all the appliances, dinnerware, cookware, and utensils a chef may need. A laundry room with washer and dryer is just off the kitchen.
The Great Room is also home to the entertainment center, which features 5.1 home theater surround speakers, a large TV/monitor with cable, DVD, iPod docking station, CD player and one remote control for all. Outdoor speakers are hidden on the pool deck. An extensive library of books, music and movies are provided, as well as whole house wireless internet access.
All four bedrooms are air conditioned, and feature king sized beds, attached baths, cordless phones, and covered decks on the water. One of the bedrooms is in the separate and very private Pool Deck Suite, extending the romance of villa living.
The two lower-level bedrooms are decorated in the colors of the Caribbean, and share a full bath and shady private patio. They feature king size beds, although one can be made up with two twin beds if preferred. One also features a wet bar and mini-refrigerator.

My husband and I had the good fortune to stay at this wonderful villa on a recent vacation. Having worked in the hospitality industry for a good portion of my career, I am quite picky when it comes to the places I stay while spending my limited vacation time. While Sanctuary looked wonderful before we got there, it completely exceeded expectations after we arrived. What can I say? The view is gorgeous and while there is a certain amount of planning that goes behind orchestrating that, it really is nature at its best. The grounds, however, the structure, layout and quality of the property itself is really the thing to be discussed. You can tell that every inch of this property has been thought out and given the utmost in consideration. Each sleeping room has, what seems to be, an individualized view. The privacy you can feel within a house full of people is not often something you are granted in a property such as this. However, each space is open, airy, yet truly private - even the bedrooms connected by a bathroom on the lower level. There were a total of six of us traveling together, occupying each of the bedrooms, and when you wanted/needed to escape to the privacy of your room, you were truly able. The outdoor areas are great for lounging and the occasional meal outdoors. With the full grill, you can prepare a large meal, cook it, and then eat it all under the gorgeous tropical sky. While a good part of our days were spent snorkling and exploring the beauty of St. John, we spent almost every night taking in the clear, starry sky from either the pool or hot tub. We visited over the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to make a complete Thanksgiving feast in the fully loaded kitchen. We ate out only twice the entire time making full use of these facilities for the length of our stay. While not even realizing I'd need or want a washer and dryer during my vacation (because, really, who wants to do laundry while away?) it was a dream come true. While I packed more than enough for our trip, I welcomed the chance to clean what could before leaving for home and was able to unpack a fresh bag rather than do a bunch of laundry after arriving home. As cliche as it may sound, this property truly was a 'home away from home'. Well, if my home was a gorgeous villa, that is. It was everything I wanted to experience in luxury, yet provided all of the comforts of home. Don’t even think about it, just book your trip and stay here!Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

The aptly-named Sanctuary is truly a private escape equipped with everything you could need for a peaceful, relaxing vacation. The private setting of this villa must be one of the most lovely spots on an incredibly gorgeous island. Although set away from the more touristy (but low-key) areas of St John, Sanctuary is within easy access by car to all that Cruz Bay has to offer, and to the breath-taking beaches and snorkeling on the north side. The villa and property are very upscale, yet cozy and comfortable, and filled with thoughtful details which give it more of a feeling of home than most vacation rentals in my experience. The pictures do not do it justice, since they cannot convey the overall feel of the place, with its soft breezes, the sound and color of the many beautiful birds, the lush and well-maintained gardens, the constantly soothing sound of the surf, and the sky at night filled with more stars than you can imagine! I can't wait to return!Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.
