About this property

Studio with stunning views of Great Cruz Bay in beautiful Westin Resort St. John

St. John is the premier island in the Virgin Islands with 2/3 of it being a national park. It has more than a week's worth of incredibly beautiful, uncrowded and Internationally recognized sand beaches featuring aqua colored water at the base of lush and dramatic volcanic hills with sail boats and smaller islands providing an attractive element in or near the Bays while great snorkeling options abound and are reachable by boat or land.
The resort is almost always completely booked during the high season (especially studios and 1 bedrooms) and our studio is very much in the high season with occupancy from Feb 21 to March 21.
We are renting for the four weeks starting on 2/21, 2/28, 3/7 and 3/14. We are prepared to rent for longer periods and would consider shorter stays if complimentary to other stays (moderate additional cost to cover additional cleaning or other fees).
There are tennis courts with a pro instructor as an option, sandy beaches, numerous dining options from casual by the main pool and on the beach to casual by the marina (great sunset dining) to very upscale and happy hour options, frequent jitney options to explore the incredible beaches and historic plantations on island and a number of ferry options for visiting other islands in both the USVI and the BVIs (British Virgin Islands), plentiful restaurants in Cruz Bay and Coral Bay as well as night life facilities offer numerous options away from the resort. The resort has a very well run Spa and a full aerobic gym with a separate weight room both with ample and sophisticated equipment and of course showers, saunas and massage options.
The resort features numerous on water options including paddle boards, sail boat and power boat cruising, snorkeling and scuba excursions, evening cruises, deep water sports fishing (marlin, dorado, tuna) and more.
Our studio has very ample space and is well equipped with a full kitchen with all items needed to cook and dine at home, a spacious living room with everything you need to entertain or be entertained with a 32" LCD TV, Bose entertainment system, a DVD player and High Speed Internet Access included (free). The Living Room and deck have dramatic day-time and sunset views of Great Cruz Bay (breakfast on the deck and perhaps a sunset drink as well), the dining area has seating for four, a king size bed is nicely set in a raised semi-private area plus there is a queen sofa bed for 2, the bathroom has a shower/bath, there is ample storage and a full size washer drier as well as iron and iron board. In essence all you will need for comfortable living. All linens, towels etc. are provided and changed twice a week so all you have to bring is yourself, your clothes and your desire to enjoy.
There is a relatively private pool (about 20 apartments) just a few steps from our studio with meticulously maintained grills as well and an enormous resort style pool with bar, dining and masseuse options located a few steps from the beach. There are numerous incredible hiking options of varying distances (accessible via jitney) many to or along secluded sandy beaches and historic plantation ruins frequently including forested hill sections with panoramic views along the trail.
The resort caters to children both formally for younger children with its Westin Kids Club and informally with a playground and various activities at the main resort pool area designed to keep children of all ages intrigued. However these activities do not in any way impact the adult nature of the resort.
Jeeps can be conveniently rented for the day on-site though most guests just use the very convenient Jitneys for their excursions. There is also a market just steps outside the resort enabling convenient food shopping and dining at home.
In summary, the almost continuous full booking provides testament to the popularity of this resort and the quality of the experience.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

Obscured views
Our studio was comfortable for 2 people, any more bodies would have been a tight fit. “Stunning views” is a little dramatic. Overgrowth of trees in front of our unit obscured any sort of view, stunning or otherwise. We would have appreciated some literature in our unit regarding the resort property and island activities, restaurants, how to…..etc.

Host profile image
We live in Connecticut and have a daughter in the San Francisco Bay area and a son with three grandchildren in London so we do a bit of traveling. St. John where we have about a 15 year history of traveling to has always represented an antithesis to anything that is hectic in our life. It is also a welcome climate change in Feb/March.
There is much to do but nothing needs to be done on St. John. It is incredibly pictuesque and charming allowing one to be active if one wishes or relaxing if that is your choice. We love to hike but we also love to read so we bring some books and trail shoes as well as bathing suits and simply enjoy ourselves both separately or together when here.

Why they chose this property

We had vacationed on St. John for perhaps 9 years mostly staying with friends in their home on the water in Peter Bay and on a few occassions we rented an apartment to supplement our stay with them. Friends of ours had purchased a week at the Westin Resort and loved it. Over dinner one night in Connecticut where we live they told us about this Studio for sale for an entire month, February 21st to March 21st. We were scheduled to go to St. John in about 2 weeks but phoned the owner and committed to buying their timeshare sight unseen but it is identical to our friends studio however with a significantly more dramatic view of the bay, sailboats and the incredible sunsets. We love it but our lives are a bit hectic so we try to rent one or two weeks out of our four weeks each year.

What makes this property unique

The island of St. John is without doubt the best the Virgin Islands has to offer and the Westin is the Premier Resort on the Island. For adults it is an incredibly relaxing place with restaurants within the resort and right on the beach so even having a hamburger and french fries while viewing the sailboats in the bay, the hills to the right and left and the ocean beyond seems special. Some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world with aqua waters, sail boats at anchor or sailing by, surrounded by thick vegatation and verdant hills make for one photo opportunity after another. The beaches, including our own, offer numerous activities for on water sports as well as sail cruising around both the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The island which is mostly, about 65%, a National Park also has numerous trails into the hillsides and/or down to hidden bays frequently with 2-300 year old plantations suprising you at a turn in the trail. There are numerous quite excellent restaurants at quite reasonable prices in Cruz Bay about a mile from the resort as well as Coral Bay perhaps 5 miles away.
You have the option of exploring the island with one of numerous jitneys right from the resort or taking one into town or you can rent a car for a day or more of exploring from a facility located in the resort. If you do rent a car we have convenient parking steps from our apartment.
There is a sports club facility open to all residents of the resort with extensive aerobic equipment as well as a full spectrum of weight training equipment. Spa type options including massages are available there as well.
We have our own small, quiet pool a few steps from our building available to about 20 apartments which makes for an excellent reading, sun-bathing and swimming option but there is a much larger resort pool closer to the beach.
Children will want to use the resort pool and participate in the many planned activities for children of various ages.
