About this property
Water Cliff Villa Cruz Bay!
WELCOME TO WATER CLIFF: AN EXCEPTIONAL WATERFRONT VILLA.
Water Cliff is a charming 4 bedroom villa which offers the best of both worlds: a fabulous location and a spectacular view. The villa is situated on the west end of St. John, just around the corner from the main town of Cruz Bay. With about a 2 minute drive to town and 8 minutes to the world class beaches of the Virgin Islands National Park, you can spend more time having fun and less time getting there! And yet, Water Cliff’s tranquil neighborhood will ensure you feel far away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay for the times you’d rather kick back and relax in the comfort of your own private villa.
NESTLED JUST ABOVE THE CRASHING SURF WITH UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN VIEWS.
Water Cliff is a quiet retreat perched atop a dramatic cliff just above the crystal clear turquoise sea. Listen to the sound of the waves crashing below. Gaze out over the unreal Caribbean blue water – there is nothing between you and the sparkling sea. The islands to count are many: Besides St. Thomas, you can see Great St. James, Little St. James, Dog Island and French Cap. On a clear day you can see St. Croix and sometimes even Vieques! From your waterfront vantage point you might see sailboats cruising by on a beam reach, locals diving for lobsters and an occasional kayak or SUP boarder. Guests have even reported spotting amazing sea life from the deck – a mother dolphin and her baby swimming by, a tarpon jumping out of the water, turtles coming up for air…and once someone even saw a manta ray! Spectacular sunsets are a common occurrence, and the sparkling lights of St. Thomas each evening will never fail to delight you.
DESIGNED IN TRUE CARIBBEAN STYLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
The house was designed in a breezy Caribbean architectural style, to make the most of the dramatic view, but also the steady trade winds. Outdoor living spaces abound. From the shady covered decks on every room, to the alfresco dining options, to lazy lounging on the pool deck – you will find a place to make the most of St. John’s wonderful warm and sunny weather. The comfortable open floor plan gives the whole house a relaxed and casual vibe. The bright and cheerful décor can’t help but make you feel at home in the tropics. Water Cliff truly reflects the nature of St. John – a laid back island bursting with color and life.
A STUNNING VIEW FROM EVERY ROOM ENSURES NO ONE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.
Water Cliff is ideal for groups and families, as it offers a fabulous great room and pool deck for socializing, but also separate private bedrooms perfect for a little down time. The house is organized in two wings on either side of the pool. On the west side, the great room sits above a studio apartment, and on the east side there are three en suite bedrooms. The layout intentionally provides for lots of space between the living areas, making it easy for everyone to do their own thing when they wish. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom and outdoor shower and every bedroom has an incredible sea view!
OUR WELL APPOINTED VILLA LETS YOU TRAVEL LIGHT.
Water Cliff is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation – from linens to kitchen equipment, and everything you need for the beach. All you need to do is come ready to have a good time! Our friendly property management team will ensure your smooth arrival to the villa and give you a quick orientation on island living.

We enjoyed our stay at Water Cliff. The house had great views from several oceanfront decks, and a lot of Caribbean style charm. We did have a few hot days when we might have wished for A/C in the living area instead of just the bedrooms (especially in the kitchen on those days when we cooked in), but for the most part the trade winds and the "open air" design were more than adequate for the comfort of our group. The hosts were great; our greeter "Kelly" made the check-in process incredibly smooth and seamless. We loved St. John and Water Cliff, and we definitely hope to return someday soon.

We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay! Come back soon!
There was a little bit of miscommunication with our greeter but quickly resolved. The house is lovely. The outdoor showers are incredible and the views are magnificent. We loved hanging out on the large porches for morning coffee and gorgeous sunsets
Easy communication with host.Lovely property with great views.Clear and specific details about our stay.Accurate description on VRBO about the property.
This was a perfect spot for two families with older elementary aged kids! Gorgeous views, and the pool was the perfect way to spend our afternoons after the beach. I didn’t quite understand the layout when we booked – the bedrooms don’t connect at all on the interior so if you’re planning to sleep separately from kids, just know that. I probably wouldn’t have been comfortable with kids much younger than mine. The hosts were lovely to work with and local to the island. As others have said, it feels like a ton of privacy, but is still super close to town and easy to get to beaches. We will definitely be back!
What a lovely pair of homes, perfect for our extended family gathering. Being less than a mile from the heart of Cruz Day made outings easy. Hosts were wonderfully communicative. Bonus: air conditioning in the bedrooms made for comfortable sleep.
We enjoyed our stay at water cliff Villa! The view is spectacular, we enjoyed jumping in the pool after beach days and being able to play cards with family on the deck. Air conditioners were only in the bedrooms, which is common in St. John and we absolutely love the outdoor showers. I would suggest bringing off if mosquitoes like you!
We loved our stay! It was the perfect spot for our family to play, relax, rest, cook and enjoy beautiful St. John's. We loved the pool, outdoor showers, beautiful balconies with amazing views, comfortable suites and very nice kitchen and choices of places to dine. We felt like there was no one around for miles except iguanas, goats, lizards and the neighborhood cat. We really had a special time!
had a great stay at Water Cliff Villa. spacious with beautiful cliffside views from pool and deck made coming back to the place each day for sunset views a must. The host staff was 10 out of 10 in timely response, addressing questions or concerns and helping with restaurant suggestions and reservations or simply helping us navigate our first time to the island.
This location was wonderful. We had a beautiful view seeing stingrays and turtles in the gorgeous water in front of the property. Beautiful accommodations! Would highly recommend!!
Wonderful house with layout that is easy for all to enjoy the view. Close to Cruz Bay for easy access for daily adventures, market runs, restaurants, etc. House is well stocked with all you need for vacation. Rooms are comfortable and open to porches. Really a perfect spot!
Loads of outdoor space to enjoy the breathtaking views. Found everything we needed in kitchen for snacks, etc., though we ate out most meals. Provided beach chairs, towels and coolers were all appreciated for daily trips to the beaches. Enjoyed the uniqueness of outdoor showers and A/C in the bedrooms.
We really enjoyed our stay. They were very quick at getting back with us when we had questions. The house was well stocked in the kitchen with appliances and dishes. All the rooms had plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels. The view was breathtaking! The beds could use some updating, but it wouldn't stop me from staying there again!
This home is a GEM - the views, the close proximity to town, the space… everything was perfection. I have spent over 10 weeks on St. John through the years and this is my all time favorite house. We will be back!!!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Water Cliff! The property is set up well to host multiple families or, as was our case, a family with adult children that want their own space, while making it easy and enjoyable to gather for coffee in the morning, a communal dinner cooked in the kitchen, or a late night game of Marco Polo in the pool. Views/sunsets are incredible with several decks for viewing, and the location was as close to town conveniences as we've ever been on St. John. 5 stars!!

Water Cliff met the vacation needs of our family with ease. Beautiful views of the ocean and island from each of several verandas. The property is well maintained and stocked with beach chairs, coolers, and towels. Everything we needed to enjoy St John beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to enjoy food and our favorite beverages. Check-in was smooth. Our family loved the place and recommend it if you are looking for a pleasant stay in St John.
Just got back from 9 nights at Water Cliff Villa where we had an amazing time. The house was a perfect setup for our family. The views of the ocean first thing in the morning and last thing at night were spectacular. We all loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean. Dave and Julie were so easy to get a hold of when we had questions and were very hospitable. We are all already missing those outdoor showers!
What a great stay we had in St John. Water cliff was perfect for us. No, it was not perfect, and there were a few minor issues that I am not going to let affect my 5 rating. The location is amazing, and the property managers were very responsive and available for general questions about the island. First time to St John, and by far our favorite island of many. We'll be back!
Water Cliff is set in an amazing location with beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed that it was close to Cruz Bay and easy to call for a taxi to get into town and just as easy to get home. The pool in the afternoon was perfect after a day at the beach.
The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a few meals at home. Being able to grill was also a plus. There were some basic supplies available (e.g. coffee filters, condiments) that were helpful to settle in as well.
Highly recommend this property and hope to be back soon.
