About this property

Romantic private apartment with amazing views at SeaSwan

Romantic Affordable Luxury with comfortable furnishings inside and outside, with stunning views.
SeaSwan Suite is a beautiful private, fully air conditioned one bedroom (a King) apartment in our villa. Only twelve minutes drive from Cruz Bay, guests have their own parking and private walkway to the apartment. No steps offer easy access from parking to the apartment. Double french doors open to 1200 square feet of beautifully appointed space. Soft colors of sea foam and sand with travertine marble floors greet each guest. Four double french doors open on to the sun deck, a cocktail deck and covered bedroom deck to the spectacular view. On a clear day you can see thirty five miles to Puerto Rico or awaken to three or four masted sailing ships crossing Pillsbury Sound. Twenty-four acres of undeveloped land in front of SeaSwan offers an unobstructed view of St Thomas and the Caribbean Sea. WIFI connection is fast and works on the outside patio areas and throughout the apartment. SeaSwan is 620 feet above sea level, offering soft breezes. The road and driveway are paved, and we are at the end of the road, so no traffic. The villa is at the very end of Gifft Hill Lane with no neighbors on three sides providing both quiet and privacy. SeaSwanSuite is the only apartment. The comfortable living room has a custom upholstered sectional and ottoman to gaze at the view or watch your favorite show on a flat screen TV with satellite service. The spacious bedroom with king bed ( the mattress gets rave reviews) the reading area a loveseat and desk to send postcards to friends offers ample space to stretch out. The bedroom armoire also has a flat screen TV for night time viewing. It is a wonderful room in which to awaken with a spectacular view and great night's rest, and for reading while lingering in bed. French doors off of the spacious bedroom open to a covered deck with double chaise for romantic evenings watching the sunset over the Caribbean and sharing a glass of wine.

The bathroom is well appointed, with travertine shower and soft towels.

The kitchen has GE appliances including dishwasher, aqua corian counters, and is fully appointed. Tap water is completely purified and bottled water is not necessary.
Have breakfast enjoying the view of both garden and the sea or enjoy the stunning sunsets from every view.

As night falls you will see a moonlight sea with the lights of St. Thomas twinkling in the distance.Watch cruise ships as they leave for their next port of call. The night sky is full of stars for star gazing. During the full moon the reflection over the water of Pillsbury Sound is unmatched.

Sea Swan is well located to dining, beautiful beaches and shopping. Cruz Bay is twelve minutes and the North Shore beaches about 15-20 minutes drive. The East End beaches are about 30 minutes drive.

A full laundry, for guests use only, is adjacent to the apartment. Beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, floats, and beach tents are provided for a memorable island vacation.

Awesome place for couples!
Sea Swan was perfect for the two of us! It's a very private apartment with it's own entrance on the first level of a large villa. Located toward the top of Gifft Hill, it's a steep drive but kind of fun with a jeep, and only 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. The other reviews aren't exaggerating - the view and sunsets are amazing! It's so special and calming to look out over the Caribbean and St. Thomas from the patio, full-length balcony, or any room. The landscaping is beautiful and complements the views for a real tropical island vibe. The outdoor daybed on the balcony was great in the evenings for relaxing with drinks and listening to the sounds of nature under the stars with the lights of St. Thomas in the distance. The place was super clean throughout. The bedroom and bathroom are quite spacious and the bed is very comfortable. We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, and beach towels, and it was really convenient to have a washer/dryer. The gift basket is a very thoughtful touch. We didn't have to run out to the market right away and it took care of breakfast, coffee/tea, and snacks for several days. Wini was fantastic in communicating and accommodating our late arrival. She met us at the car barge, led us to the villa, and walked us through the place. Highly recommend for couples!!

Perfect stay
There isn’t much else to stay other than this is a 5/5 property. From the check in process with Wini, to the view, to the welcome package in the fridge. You won’t find a better deal on the island. Everything worked perfectly, UV water filtration system, grill, etc.

Jaw Dropping Views!
My husband and I think this was one of our favorite vrbos ever. We spent a lot of time on the outside patio - breakfast and sunsets - and the view was just spectacular! We looked forward to hearing the roosters in the morning and the frogs at night. It was beautiful to look at the lights of nearby St. Thomas in the evenings. Wini, the Sea Swan concierge, was very helpful and kind. She reached out before our stay with texts, drove us to the house, and showed us around. The food & treats left in the fridge for us were very appreciated!! The bathroom was huge and the bed was comfortable. It was an incredible stay!

Perfect!
Beautiful property, fantastic location, wonderful views. Wini met us at the car ferry and led us to the property, which was actually easy to find. She gave us the grand tour, and was very helpful with suggestions on restaurants, etc. The welcome basket in the fridge was such a nice touch, and really helped out with snacks and breakfast for our stay. When I asked Wini about parking in Cruz Bay, she laughed and proceeded to explain the situation. Not ideal. She mentioned the gravel lot right by the car ferry. Save yourself the hassle of even looking for parking elsewhere, and at $8 a day it's a real bargain. It's only a couple short blocks from the traffic circle, and nothing in Cruz Bay is very far. Property is very comfortable and peaceful, and the sunset views from the balcony are the best on the Island. Absolutely loved St. John, and would stay at SeaSwan again with no hesitation.
