About this property

Cruz Views - Destiny - Convenient to Cruz Bay, Well Priced, A/C, Shared Pool

Cruz Views #04 – Destiny is a beautiful two-bedroom one bath corner condo located above the pool. You will enjoy the picturesque views of the turquoise blue seas of Cruz Bay, and across to St. Thomas. With your views facing west, you will enjoy seeing magnificent sunsets during your stay. It does not stop there as once the twinkling lights of St. Thomas pop on in the evening, and the stars light up in the sky, a sense of serenity and peace will settle over you, as you realize, this is what life is all about.

Destiny has an expansive wrap-around deck, which includes an outside dining table with chairs, and lounge chairs, perfect for some private sunbathing, should you want to work on your golden tan. Just a few stairs down from your private deck is the pool and sun deck, so cooling off with a refreshing dip is easily done.
The living space is an open floor plan and includes your kitchen, living, and dining areas. All are beautifully decorated and include tropical accents, and colors throughout. The owners created a fun and beautiful mosaic tile pattern for the stairway, so be sure to check it out as you make your way up the stairs to the bedroom and bathroom level.

The air-conditioned master bedroom is on the left at the top of the stairway and includes a queen bed. The bedroom is well furnished so you can unpack when you arrive, and easily immerse yourself in your home away from home. The air-conditioned loft bedroom is accessed by a ship ladder (attached to the wall) and includes two twin beds. This is not designed or recommended for children under the age of 12. Both bedrooms share a custom built bath and shower.

The Cruz Views Complex consists of 10 condominiums, with 9 of the condos being in the rental market. If you are looking for a well-priced condo, that is convenient to Cruz Bay, look no further than Cruz Views #04, as a stay here, could be your “Destiny”.

Location: The Cruz Views Complex is tucked into a tropical hillside location, located about a 160 feet above the town of Cruz Bay. The condos are townhouse style and all face southwest. Each condo was designed to capture the picturesque views of the turquoise seas throughout the day and the spectacular sunsets at days end. Undoubtedly, you will enjoy these scenic vistas! Cruz Views is only about a 1/2 mile from Cruz Bay, and many guests will walk in to town, as it is all down hill. However after a few cocktails, or enjoying a delicious dinner at one of the many fine restaurants, you may want to get a taxi to bring you back up the hill, as the walk up can be a bit challenging.

For those renting a vehicle there is on site parking at the complex. Guests will enjoy the shared pool and if you like to BBQ, there is a gas grill available for guests to use during their stay. Beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler are also included with each condo.

Great spot

Nice little condo just outside the main bustle of Cruz Bay. Quiet but less than a minute in to the round about. Loft bedroom is really nice if you have kids old enough to use them. View is fantastic and you're far enough up the hillside to you get a constant breeze and a small temperature drop.

Amazing!!

This condo was wonderful. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. The loft area was challenging to get up to but my 18 and 21 year olds were easily able to get up the ladder. Once in the loft, the space was great. The entire condo was very clean and functional. Great kitchen area and balcony. The location of the unit was 1/2 mile from the town. We were able to walk to and from town but the walk up the hill is very challenging and we are in great shape. The hill's incline was very steep so I would advise walking to town and then taking a taxi if it's night time. My daughter is a college athlete and she used the hill for training purposes!! The street was very quiet so it's very safe to walk on. I would absolutely stay at this place again.

Amazing Stay!!!!!!!!!

Wow...Two words..."THE VIEW" . But also the pool at night. This is a great property close to town, amazing views, amazing private decks. My only recommendation is that you need a car for this property, but I think you need one on St. John anyway. Also for this specific unit the 2nd bedroom has a ladder to access which we loved and my 10 year old had no problem navigating. 1st room is easy access. Loved the relaxed beach vibe furnishings. Would stay again in a second!

About the host

Hosted by Caribbean Villas of St. John

We came to St. John during a vacation to St. Thomas in the early 1980’s. The natural beauty and laid back character of St. John started our love affair with the island. Our next visit brought us to Cruz Views shortly after they were built. We began returning year after year. In the early years Cruz Views had no phone, TV or AC and screen windows had louvered shutters to keep the rain out. We loved the fresh air and the sounds of nature. By a stroke of good fortune we were able to purchase Destiny (CV4) in 1997. Interestingly, we had never rented this unit and had never even been inside it. The entire purchase took place via phone conversations, mail and newly emerging email. The closing took place in St. Thomas and we allowed our realtor to represent us as we could not be there. The purchase proceeded without a hitch and in October we arrived to see our new home. We had always stayed in lower units and we were immediately “blown away” by the view from our upper unit. Unfortunately, the unit needed a lot of TLC so we spent our first week painting walls, replacing beds etc. We began to visit to our new home several times a year and with each visit we were able to make additional improvements. The trick with ownership is figuring out how to combine work with pleasure. Fortunately, Judy and I enjoy working on our unit as much as enjoying the island.

For additional questions on our beautiful home please call our representatives at Caribbean Villas of St John. Their sales office is located in the states and if you would like to speak with a "live" person (M-F, 9-5 EST), give them a call! They are ready to answer your questions and make your reservation. 800 338-0987 and 207 510-6300. Once you arrive on St John, their local office staff will meet you and will be your on island hosts. "You've got friends on the island," who are ready to assist you in any way they can!

Why they chose this property

CV4 is well suited to people with tastes like ours. We installed air conditioning in 2007 in a way that did not impinge on the existing windows. Being an end unit, we get wonderful natural ventilation from the trade winds and we wanted to preserve this wonderful feature. We have two decks. A private tree lined side deck for sunning and a shaded front deck for sipping drinks and enjoying the view. You will find our unit is just steps from the pool and that the pool is kept crystal clear without the use of chlorine.

What makes this property unique

Although the pool is not large by stateside standards it is never crowded and a great place to meet interesting people. Because our front deck overlooks the pool we found it a perfect place to keep an eye on our kids when they were in the pool. The view from our unit is among the best on the island with the shimmering turquoise water of Pillsbury Sound during the day, breathtaking sunsets in the evening and twinkling lights from St. Thomas at night. The beaches of St. John are like no others. Most are in coves protected from the surf. The sand is velvety soft and the warm water is crystal clear. Another plus for Destiny is its proximity to the restaurants and shops in nearby Cruz Bay. Although a short walk, you pay a little for your great views by having to walk up the hill to get home. You can always get a taxi to get back. A feature we particularly like about Destiny is the view of the ferries as they come and go. We can watch for a ferry to arrive and go and board it. We enjoy sharing “our place in the sun” with our guests and are delighted to get such positive reviews and so many returnees.
