St John, Spectacular Water/Sunset Views, Privacy, Pool, Spa, near town, beaches

If you are looking for a restful atmosphere with the most spectacular views on St. John this is the place. From the first time we entered the deck and house and saw the view we never grew tired of it's magnificence.

The house and grounds were wonderful as well. There were 6 adults in our party. The house had essentially two master bedrooms with excellent showers in each and two beds in the loft in the main house along with a small bed in the downstairs main house. There was also a nice shower, washer, and dryer in the main house bathroom area. Sleeping accommodations were great and we could have easily had 1 or 2 more adults. The AC was nice in all of the house and bedrooms making sleeping more like home.

I must admit when were were at the house (and not snorkeling or hiking) that we spent most of the time on the deck eating, talking, swimming or hot tubing. The bird watching was amazing with many rare birds swinging by to take a look at us. The hummingbirds and bananaquils were nearly always present. As I type I so miss this place!!!

Linda and Allen were wonderful hosts and met us upon arrival. They gave us a short tour and really made us feel at home. We can't wait to go back!

Stayed at cloud nine for 8 days. Awesome long range views from the top of St. Johns. Overlooking Great Cruz Bay and views of St. Thomas. Great for viewing sunsets and the lights of St. Thomas, also got to watch cruise ships come and go from St. Thomas. Pool is nice and refreshing while the hot tub is a great way to soak away the cares of the world. Kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed grilling steaks on the outdoor grill. Enjoyed our daily breakfast under the outdoor gazebo as we watched the boats leave the harbor for a day on the water. Master bedroom was very comfortable with a great garden shower. Enjoyed music on the Bose stereo and television has a few channels to catch up on the world, if you must. Plenty of books to read, no need to bring your own. Wifi works great inside and on the pool deck. You will need to rent a jeep as the roads to the villa are hilly and plenty of curves. This villa offers complete privacy as the other villas in the area are blocked by thick groves of trees. This villa would also be good for a family as it has two private bedrooms and a third, large bedroom loft over the living area. There is also an extra twin bed in the upstairs loft as well as another daybed downstairs off of the living room. Great central location for driving to the north shore beaches or to Coral Bay. Restaurants in Cruz Bay are only ten minute drive away. Don't hesitate to book this villa as you will enjoy every minute.

Just got back from a week at Cloud 9. Great house, view, location, pool etc. Could not have been happier with the accommodations. Linda (the owner) was great to work with. No issues whatsoever! Can't wait to come back!

My husband and are long time St. John islanders - we consider it our 2nd home. I specifically picked "Cloud 9" villa for its West Indies Style, its pool and the views you have looking out over St. John to St. Thomas and beyond - the awesome sunsets and at night the twinkling lights of St. Thomas - breathtaking - all of this from Cloud 9.

If you have more than two people (we did not), with its West Indies Style, Cloud 9 gives you plenty of privacy - to retreat to your own bedroom/bungalow - with very comfortable rooms and beds and large bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and we did cook meals and ate outside on the deck under the gazebo. With the lush foliage around the villa, you have plenty of privacy. The main house and bedroom were very comfortable and homey - the house was very clean and check-in and out was a breeze. We took books to read - but with the views - we just could not make ourselves read the books, the views were just too amazing! The house is in a great location for day trips to a different beach and snorkeling spot each day - we headed out each morning early - picking up sandwiches from a different shop each day - then returning home back to Cloud 9 for dips in the pool and views that just keep on going.

Now with all that said - as an islander I have to tell you this " St. John is a tropical island - this is not home, things are different here, there are bugs, mosquitos and cute Iguanas small and large. So go prepared - just like in the mountains in the summertime - be prepared - take bug replant wipes and spray with you; once you get there, put on your shopping list "flying bug spray" you can purchase this from either the Star Fish or Dolphin markets.

Remember it is an island - on island time - always say good morning - good afternoon - good evening - when starting a conversation; get up early to enjoy the morning and the day.

We will be back!

Our family has stayed at Cloud Nine many times over the years and we chose Cloud Nine again for spring break with the family. It always feels like coming home. Since I am the college kid, I get the loft, my favorite room. I sprawl in the queen size bed and listen to the trees frogs or soft drizzle of rain as I fall asleep. Thank goodness there is WiFi and it is fast enough that both my sister and I can watch different movies at the same time. I check Facebook, dip in the pool when the mood strikes me, lie under the stars at night, enjoy the view from the hot tub and basically make myself at home. It is nice to be with the family and still have my own space. We had an awesome time at the sandy North Shore beaches-especially Dennis Bay-and loved the Reef Bay Trail. Hoping we can come back next year. I’d like to bring my friend from college. There is another twin in the loft and we’d have plenty of room to chill. Cloud Nine rocks!
