Harbor View at Battery Hill — Your Perfect Cruz Bay Escape
CRUZ BAY HARBOR VIEWS • WALK TO TOWN & BEACH • POOL • SLEEPS 4
Wake up to beautiful views over Cruz Bay and the Caribbean, then walk into town for dinner, shopping, cocktails, the ferry, or a day at the beach.
Harbor View at Battery Hill combines three of the things travelers want most on St. John: spectacular views, a swimming pool, and a location within walking distance of Cruz Bay.
This top-floor condo sleeps up to 4 guests with a private queen bedroom, an expansive loft-style queen sleeping area, and 2 full bathrooms. Add a private covered balcony, A/C, a fully equipped kitchen, parking, Wi-Fi, beach gear, and easy access to Virgin Islands National Park, and you have an ideal home base for experiencing St. John.
HARBOR VIEW AT BATTERY HILL
Harbor View is located in the intimate Battery Hill condominium community, perched on the hillside above Cruz Bay.
Step through the mahogany doors into a bright, open living space with soaring 24-foot tongue-and-groove beamed ceilings, tropical breezes, and comfortable island-inspired furnishings.
The great room opens directly onto a private covered balcony overlooking Cruz Bay, the harbor, and the surrounding islands.
Start the morning here with coffee as the boats move across the bay. Come back after the beach for a cocktail in the trade winds. In the evening, relax and enjoy the lights of Cruz Bay below.
It's one of our favorite parts of Harbor View — and one of the reasons this condo feels unmistakably St. John.
SLEEPS UP TO 4
Harbor View offers two queen sleeping areas and two full bathrooms.
MAIN-LEVEL QUEEN BEDROOM
The main level features a traditional private queen bedroom, providing a comfortable and private retreat after a day at the beach or exploring the island.
EXPANSIVE QUEEN LOFT
Upstairs is a spacious loft-style queen sleeping area overlooking the living area below.
The loft takes advantage of Harbor View's dramatic high ceilings and provides an inviting second sleeping space for additional guests.
Please note: The loft is open to the living area below rather than being a traditional enclosed bedroom. It is accessed by a narrow spiral staircase, which may not be suitable for children under age 6 or guests with mobility limitations.
We want guests to understand the layout before booking so they can be confident Harbor View is the right fit for their group.
TWO FULL BATHROOMS
Having two full bathrooms makes Harbor View especially convenient for two couples, a family, or friends traveling together.
PRIVATE COVERED BALCONY WITH CRUZ BAY VIEWS
The balcony is one of the highlights of Harbor View.
Enjoy expansive views over Cruz Bay, the Caribbean, neighboring islands, and the boats coming and going from the harbor.
It's a wonderful place for:
• Morning coffee • Breakfast in the trade winds • Reading after a beach day • Afternoon cocktails • Watching the activity in Cruz Bay • Relaxing together in the evening
BATTERY HILL SWIMMING POOL
When you're ready for a break from the beach, the Battery Hill community pool is just steps away.
Take a swim, relax on a lounge chair, or find a shaded spot with a book. The pool area also includes tables and chairs where you can enjoy a casual meal or drink outside.
FULLY EQUIPPED KITCHEN
Harbor View's kitchen gives you the flexibility to eat in whenever you choose.
Make breakfast before heading to the beach, pack lunch for a day exploring the island, or enjoy a relaxed dinner at the condo.
A community gas BBQ grill is also conveniently located near the pool deck.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A ST. JOHN BEACH DAY
One of the best parts of visiting St. John is exploring its incredible beaches.
Harbor View provides:
• Beach chairs • Beach towels • Cooler
Pack up and head out for snorkeling, swimming, hiking, or a relaxing day on the sand without having to bring beach gear from home.
WALK TO CRUZ BAY
Location is one of Harbor View's biggest advantages.
From Battery Hill, you can walk into Cruz Bay for restaurants, bars, shopping, beaches, ferry connections, taxis, and island activities.
That means you don't necessarily need to get in the car every time you want dinner, drinks, or a night in town.
Please remember that Battery Hill sits above Cruz Bay, so the walk back to the condo is uphill. Many guests enjoy the walk, while others prefer taking a short taxi ride back after dinner or when carrying groceries.
EXPLORE ST. JOHN
When you're ready to explore beyond Cruz Bay, the beaches, trails, overlooks, and historic sites of Virgin Islands National Park are just a short drive away.
Spend your days discovering the places that make St. John unforgettable, including turquoise bays, snorkeling spots, scenic hiking trails, and miles of protected coastline.
Then return to Harbor View, cool off in the pool, and relax above Cruz Bay.

WHY CHOOSE HARBOR VIEW?
St. John has many beautiful places to stay, but Harbor View offers a particularly hard-to-find combination:
Cruz Bay views. A swimming pool. A private balcony. Two full bathrooms. Room for four. Parking. And the ability to walk into Cruz Bay.
You can spend the morning snorkeling at one of St. John's famous beaches, come home for an afternoon swim, and walk into Cruz Bay for dinner without having to plan your entire day around transportation.
COME EXPERIENCE ST. JOHN
Some vacations are about seeing as much as possible.
Others are about slowing down, feeling the trade winds, watching the boats cross Cruz Bay, and realizing you don't have anywhere else you need to be.
At Harbor View, you can do both.
Explore the beaches and trails of St. John during the day. Relax by the pool in the afternoon. Walk into Cruz Bay for dinner and drinks. Then return to your hillside retreat overlooking the harbor.
Harbor View at Battery Hill is ready to be your St. John home away from home.

One of one.Beyond the proximity to town and year-over-year spotlessness, the property transports you, truly transitioning you from your life, troubles, and grind to that STJ magic.I've stayed here numerous times for the Emancipation Days village and festival. I treasure how safe I feel (and have been) walking to and fro, even in the wee hours before Jouvert. Owner Eileen and PM Tammy have you from arrival to departure. 5 stars

This place was amazing! Would recommend to anyone staying in the St. John area. The view of the harbor is awesome to eat breakfast to every morning. If we come back to St. John this will be the first place we look at! The walk to Cruz bay was only a couple minutes and the walk back helped shed some calories from dinner! Thank y’all for having us at such an amazing place!
Harbor View in the Battery Hill complex is a great condo and superb location to downtown Cruz Bay. The condo is furnished very nicely and has just about everything you can think of! We highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Accommodations were nothing short of amazing. Nice, clean place exactly how it was described. We were able to enjoy a week on St. John without a car. Within walking distance to places to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We would highly recommend this property.
We have stayed at this property multiple times. Great location to Cruz Bay. Awesome views of town, the bay, and sunsets. Well stocked with what you need whether staying for a week or 3 weeks like we did! We’ll definitely be back!!!
