Walk to Cruz Bay! Sunset Views, Shared Pool & Starlink - Mandavilla Rose
Experience Serenity at Mandavilla Rose: Your Private Island Escape
Welcome to Mandavilla Rose, the lower-level sanctuary of our hillside estate. If you are looking for a tranquil, intimate retreat that stays crisp and cool after a day in the Caribbean sun, this is it. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, Mandavilla Rose offers the perfect balance of island charm and modern convenience.
Why Guests Love the "Rose" Level:
Ultimate Climate Control: Unlike high-ceiling villas, Mandavilla Rose is a cozy, enclosed space that holds the AC perfectly. Enjoy a refreshing, cold living area and bedroom to recharge after your beach adventures.
Private Sunset Patio: Step out onto your private balcony to enjoy the gentle trade winds and famous Cruz Bay sunsets. It’s the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the swing.
Work-from-Paradise: Equipped with dedicated Starlink high-speed internet, the Rose is the premier choice for remote workers or those who want glitch-free streaming and video calls.
The Shared Pool: Just steps away, enjoy a dip in the tropical shared pool—a perfect oasis for a midday rinse.
Location & Convenience:
Walk to Town: You are just a 15-minute downhill stroll to the heart of Cruz Bay’s world-class dining and ferry dock. (The walk back is steep—we recommend a Jeep rental for the best experience!)
On-Island Support: Our local manager is ready to assist with pre-arrival grocery stocking so you can start your vacation the moment you walk through the door.

About the host

Meet Your Host: Dedicated to Your St. John Escape
My goal is to give you a stay that feels private and relaxed, but with the support of a "Superhost" background.
What you can expect from a stay at Mandavilla:
Proven Hospitality: We’ve earned 5-star "Superhost" status on other platforms by focusing on the details that matter: cleanliness, fast communication, and reliable amenities.
Seamless Arrival: We know the ferry dock can be a bit hectic. Our local greeter will meet you right at the dock to make sure you find your way home to Mandavilla without a second thought.
Your Digital Island Guide: To keep your stay clutter-free, we’ve prepared a Digital Concierge. Upon arrival, you’ll find a simple QR code that unlocks all our personal favorites—the best local "happy hour" spots, secret snorkel entries, and even how to work the blender for that first island drink.
On-Island Support: If you need anything that the digital guide can't answer, our on-island property manager is just a phone call away.
We’re here to make sure your vacation is exactly what it should be: easy. We look forward to hosting you!
