Om overnatningsstedet
Betagende 4bdrm Waterfront Villa! Gå til stranden! 24/7 concierge service!
Villa Sanctuary ligger kun få minutter fra byen - og alligevel er denne smukt designede viltvoksende ejendom en verden for sig selv. Udforsk den afsondrede strand kun få skridt fra villaen og tag en dukkert i det rolige, turkise Caribiske farvande. Du vil føle dig som om du har bugten for dig selv! Slap af ved poolen om dagen, og stjerneblikket fra boblebadet hver aften. Huset har et åbent, moderne køkken, en rummelig stue med komfortable siddepladser og alle fire soveværelser har havudsigt. Villa Sanctuary er diskret beliggende i slutningen af en blind vej og giver masser af privatliv. Hvis du leder efter firma, St. Johns travle havneby, Cruz Bay, er en nem 5 minutters kørsel væk.
Villa Sanctuary er med sin smukke stenhuggeri og frodige haver fuld af duftende blomster, frugttræer og sukkerfugle en idyllisk tilbagetog. Godset har en blændende panoramaudsigt over Monte og Rendezvous Bays. Ned en kort stenvej er en stenstrand, hvor du kan snorkle, padlebræt og kajak på din fritid. Udstyr fås gennem St. John Concierge Service (se nedenfor). Hvis du charterer en båd, kan vi også arrangere, at båden henter dig og slipper dig væk lige så længe du ikke har noget imod at svømme ud! Foretrækker du at solbade ved poolen eller boblebadet? Dækket er udstyret med loungestole. Villaen har flere terrasser med siddepladser og borde, som er et fremragende sted at lytte til bølgerne over en al fresco cocktail.
Interiøret kan prale med højt til loftet og en lys og luftig farvepalet. Indretningen kombinerer luksus ved kysten med hjemmets bekvemmeligheder. Den rummelige stue har plys lædermøbler, du vil elske at synke ned i. Mellem fladskærms-tv og underholdningscenter med dvd'er, bøger, kort og brætspil, lover dette rum at holde alle underholdt. Det moderne åbne konceptkøkken har apparater i rustfrit stål, en morgenmadsbar og plads til otte ved spisebordet. Der er en vaskemaskine / tørretumbler på stedet for din bekvemmelighed.
Alle fire værelser med aircondition har uhindret havudsigt og opdaterede badeværelser med walk-in brusere. Soveværelse nr. 1 - kaldet King Suite - er et privat gæstehus, adskilt fra huset med sin egen gårdhave. Selv bruser har udsigt over havet! Soveværelse nr. 2 leveres også med en king-size seng, et smukt buet loft og et brusebad komplet med havudsigt. Soveværelser nr. 3 og # 4 har et badeværelse med jakke og jill og senge, der kan laves til king-size eller tvillinger. De deler en ekspansiv terrasse i stueetagen, hvilket gør disse værelser ideelle til børn eller voksne.

We all had plenty of room and loved spending time together. The outdoor shower was a favorite for my wife. We will definitely book this property again next time we are in St John!

Fantastic home with amazing views and so many amenities.
Very spacious with great attention to detail. We loved the layout - comfortable spaces to be together and also have some privacy. The deep private pool and large hot tub were perfect! The kitchen was huge and well stocked. The grounds were stunning. The additional services offered were great options to have- stocked provisions, paddle boards, boat charter. Manager was very friendly and responsive.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Connecting w Family Homeland
My family and cousin’s family had an amazing stay at Sanctuary. The home had beautiful views and access to the ocean via an easy stair path. Towels, chairs, and coolers were available for use on beach days. Kids loved the jumping wall into the deep pool. Kitchen equipped w all cooking essentials, spices included! Grill was super clean. Internet was good, some areas on the grounds connection is weaker. Loved our stay. Highly recommend.

St. John Sanctuary…perfect!
Drew & Allison with St. John Concierge made our stay at this beautiful property easy breezy. They set up the jeep rentals, snorkel gear rental, Stand up paddle boards & kayak. They advised us on which ferry to take, gave us recommendations for day boat Charter. (Capt. Alex with Island Excursion VI…Awesome). They picked up food for us & had it waiting in the fridge…thank you Allison!
Were available for any questions that we had. Meeting us at the dock with the jeeps & collecting them at the end helped make our trip stress free.
The house, it was everything we could hope for. Beautiful views, wonderful outside areas to find and access to the interesting rocky beach below.
We enjoyed our week at Sanctuary so much!!!
Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful View
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Sanctuary. Never having been to St John, we were pleasantly surprised at the location of our rental home. It was just far enough away from Cruz Bay for peace and quiet but close enough that we could go to dinner and walk around town within minutes. We passed two grocery stores on the way, so no need to provision ahead of time. The pool, the main house and all of the bedrooms were very comfortable and beautifully maintained. The grounds were well kept with lots of palm trees, flowers and greenery. There are two kayaks on the rocky beach below that we enjoyed using. We kayaked to the private beach and snorkeled there in the afternoons. So much to do and see! We will definitely be back!

3 generations in paradise
We have been to St. John many times since our honeymoon in 1999. We have always stayed in a different villa, but Sanctuary was always one we said we would go back to one day. We traveled with our 2 children (13 and 9) and my husbands parents. The Villa did not disappoint. It is still as welcoming and accommodating as it was when we stayed there in 2004. The kitchen and all it's amenities were a highlight of the house! One suggestion I would make is to have a couple beach chairs that are higher off the ground. This would really help out the older people when traveling to the beach. Other than that it was perfect!

Home Again!
This is our 8th year at The Sanctuary. It never disappoints. We were thrilled and felt immediately at home on our first trip with our family of 8. We have had 6, 4, 3 and just the two of us and it has always been as welcoming as the first visit. We have our privacy with a view that is hard to beat. The close proximity to Cruz Bay makes it great for dinners out. We will return again!

Great place to stay!
This was our 4th visit to St. John. We have stayed in Peter Bay, Cruz Bay and Catherinesburg. This was our first stay in Rendevous Bay. We traveled with two other couples and our 3 kids, it was a perfect layout with two of the bedrooms having separate baths and the one our family used was downstairs with a shared bath with our kids. The house was beautifully appointed and had many extras as far as supplies needed for cooking so we didn't have to purchase things we may use just one time. The view is amazing and the location was convenient to town. The downstairs bedrooms are only accessible by steps outside of the villa, but since the weather is usually nice it wasn't a problem for our crew. Mark at SeaView Homes was very accommodating and helped us plan our trip along the way. The owners have thought of everything needed to make your stay as pleasant and relaxing as possible. Everything in this home is well maintained and very clean. Thank you Wilson's for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The Experience Lasts All Year
Our group was comprised of six people (two friends and two couples), between the ages of 30-41. We wanted a place where we could reconnect, be just a little rambunctious, and truly feel as though we were on vacation. Prior to this trip, I was not a enthusiast of the whole 'tropical vacation' idea, since that typically involved staying at large resorts and being subjected to crowds, children and the 'herd of cattle' treatment. Thankfully, Sanctuary St. John is the antithesis of the mainstream tropical vacation.
Sanctuary St. John absolutely gave us the best vacation getaway experience! Ed & CJ have been doing this for quite some time...and it shows. The house is situated in a sweet spot, which leaves one feeling that they're living the epitome of luxury. Waking up each morning to the swooping pelicans, hearing the waves crashing 24 hours a day, and being surrounded by all the comforts of home (including wifi, blessed be!) allowed us to detach from our lives back home and fully feel that we were a part of island life. Everything was truly clean, useable, and there was plenty of space for our groceries & belongings, allowing us to 'move in' and live.
Our first night had the clearest sky of the entire trip, and the view of the stars is everything. Sitting in the pool and hot tub each night, watching cruise ships go by, seeing the tiniest twinkle of lights from St. Croix, hearing our favorite music over the outdoor speakers...these are moments that live on well after the stay has come to an end.
St. John's many beaches are worth the short drives. On weekdays, even close to the holidays, we felt as though some beaches were there just for us. When we would encounter others, we found everyone to be friendly, respectful and just plain happy. Local life is every bit as relaxed as one might assume, but there is a variety of shopping & dining options that are within 10-15 minutes' drive, and are certainly recommended.
Yes, we're coming back. No, we wouldn't change a thing. Yes, that is saying something. If you want to put the rest of the world on a shelf, and focus on peace, restoration & comfort, this is the place to do it.

Luxury with the Comforts of Home - Sanctuary St. John
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!

Exceeded My Expectations---Can't Wait to Return!
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!
