Location: Cruz Bay, USVI - St. John, Caribbean (5-min walk to Cruz Bay Town & Ferry; 10-min drive to Beaches) View Map
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
From the moment you enter the front door, crossing the tan, tile floor, noting the modern kitchen and generous dining table, through the French doors onto the tiled pool deck and plopping down on a padded, cushioned, pool chair, kicking off your sandals or popping right into the gorgeous pool, you will feel glad you made the right choice for your time in the tropics.
Whether lounging under the Caribbean sun and the blue sky punctuated by fluffy, cottony clouds, paddling around in the deepest pool on Saint John, or lolling, half underwater on the huge steps in its near corner, you will appreciate the quiet, secluded privacy of your own little 'peace o' heaven.'
The large dining table and cushioned chairs out on the pool deck invite your party to dine outdoors on your own creation just off the gas grill barbecue followed by gazing at a flamboyant sunset from the porch swing.
After sunset, watch as Saint Thomas comes to life like a pulsing gem of light against the black velvety background under the moon and stars.
Inside, the cross ventilation through the doors and shutter windows invite the 200-foot-high hillside breezes aided and abetted by the floor and ceiling fans, promise cool restful sleep, and the imported, 8500 BTU air-conditioning units are almost never turned on.
Well-stocked super marts, shopping, and nightlife abound in close vicinity and the locals are as sweet as sugar. (say "Hello!" first, and enjoy big smiles in return) Imagine yourself in the various scenes shown here, then phone us to reserve your favorite week(s) to realize a memorable dream in your own little PEACE O' HEAVEN.

Peace O' Heaven-Dazzling 180-Degree Sunset View of St. Thomas
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Cruz Bay
For the beautiful views, especially the sunsets and the convenience to town and the beaches.
We are just outside of Cruz Bay Town, off of Centerline Rd. (Rte. 10), up 'Pocket Money Lane'(Hill). You proceed up that hill about an 1/8th of a mile, pass the Church Gate on the left and Cruz Views
Owner's Map of Cruz Bay
Andrew, aka "Captain Magic" has loved the water and warm weather since he was a boy. While playing sax on many cruise ships, he visited many ports o' call and fell in love with St. John. After years of dreaming, he, and his life partner, Ruthellen (aka "Dr. Cha Cha Cha") sailed from Florida in our 30' sailboat, arriving to our new home in 2001. We love sharing the pristine beauty and peacefulness of St. John with our guests.

Thank you so much Ruthellen and Captain Magic! We truly enjoyed our stay at your Peace O' Heaven. The views from the house and pool deck were almost enough just to keep us here. We were lucky to tear ourselves away and visit your beautiful island with its many gorgeous beachs and bays for the fun and the sun and some stellar snorkeling. For future visitors- try Trunk, Maho, Cinnamon, Hawk's Nest and Honeymoon Bays for the prettiest beaches. If you get an opportunity to visit with your gracious owners, do not pass it up. They are a true treat to be around! Thank you for a memorable family vacation-we're planning our return! All our love, The T. family.

My family loved our first visit to Peace o' Heaven so much that we booked our next trip before we left for home. No "ifs, ands or buts" our first visit merited a second! I understand that we were the first visitors to book our stay though the web site. We are glad that we found "Peace o' Heaven" among all the properties from which we had to choose. Thanks for the wonderful time.

Another memorable vacation. Everyone has a dream, and you have yours right here. The house was more than expected, it cannot be described, it has to be experienced. Hate to leave...but as Arnold once said,"I'LL BE BACK" So will we. Bob & Miriam [J.], Queens, NY Ed & Louise [M.], W. Nyack, NY
