Perfect Anniversary Getaway
For us it was the perfect spot to stay why we explored St. John everyday. We didn't spend much time in the room so we werent looking for much as far as room accomodations. The view is amazing (only drawback is it faces due south so you dont catch any sunrises or sunsets) and the bed was comfortable. If we were spending any real time in the room I would have wanted a little more for the comfort factor but thats not what we were there for. Host is a very sweet woman who will be more than helpful for anything you need. Also since no one told us... dont book a ferry in advance! That just locks you into a certain company which may not be the next to depart when you arrive. Even if you do book in advance, its still first come first served regardless of your reservation time. Also.... buy your groceries in St. Thomas BEFORE you come over to St. John. The prices and selection will far outweigh what you can get in St. John. Despite being right jext to the hosts house, it still felt very private. Host provided many basic things like towels, toiletries, beach gear....etc. which was really nice. She even got us gift certificates to a local spot for our anniversary which was really sweet and thoughtful.

Gorgeous views, comfortable stay
The cozy villa sits high above Great Cruz Bay with stunning views. We prepared breakfasts and lunches in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the bay, welcoming occasional visits from hummingbirds and bananaquits. Host communicated well and was available for inside information about the island.

2 thumbs up!
Monetta was a great resource for the property details, island outings, dinning suggestions and more. She met us at the car ferry so we could follow her to the villa. Balcony views from the rental were oustanding, proximity to Cruz Bay was really nice, but far enough away to be very peaceful. 100% recommended!

Last minute getaway
My wife and I booked a last minute trip to St. John. Jacqueline and her daughter were extremely helpful and welcoming hosts that were always available to answer questions about the property or the island itself. Property has a great view and location about a half mile up Centerline Road from the town of Cruz Bay. Great property and location for any couple looking for a quiet getaway to paradise.

Wonderful hostess and gorgeous views
This is a beautiful and well located property if you want to be near Cruz Bay but away from the bustle. The views and cross breezes are stunning. Jackie is a superb host who is super knowledgeable. The property has several apartments in the complex and we stayed in her original home. Each is well maintained and private. Everything is easy access. Perfect for a couple on holiday. Thanks so much Jackie for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful views in ideal location
We loved our stay at Villa Tropical Orchid. The Villa is located in the hills above Cruz Bay so we enjoyed spectacular views in a peaceful private setting, yet just a few minutes drive to downtown Cruz Bay for restaurants , bars, shops, etc. A great location and easy to see the love that Jacqueline, the owner puts into her home and how she prides herself in making the experience a great one for her guests - including fresh flowers to welcome us. Nice touch. We especially loved relaxing on the deck while being entertained by the many pretty birds, and absorbing the views of Great Cruise Bay and beyond. Just lovely.The Villa has ample dressers and storage space to really settle in and feel at home, and importantly for me, good lighting for bedside reading. My husband had a little trouble with the TV, but we weren't there to watch TV! We would stay there again.

This is the perfect villa for St John. We loved everything about it. The views from the deck and hot tub are incredible We loved having our morning coffee on the deck and a glass of wine at night in the jacuzzi. The villa is cozy, clean and has everything you need. Jackie, the owner was wonderful. She provided us with information in advance of our stay and was available if we needed anything while we were there. We are definitely coming back!

Beyond Expectations
The property is lovely and the pictures don't do it justice. The covered porch, 4 poster bed and hot tub were some of our favorite features. The sugar birds are always fun entertainment. Jacqueline was lovely and helpful, too! We are regulars to the island so we didn't need alot of input but she is right back to you if you need her. We would happily return in the future when we are just 2!

Absolutely fabulous
My husband and I recently spent 5 days at Jaqueline’s house in St. John and we could have been more happy with our stay. This is far more than just a house to stay, it’s filled with such love and joy that you can feel as soon as you walk in. The house is in a great location, close enough to Cruz Bay but far enough that you aren’t staying directly in the craziness. And nothing can beat the view. Jaqueline herself is truly wonderful, always willing to answer questions, give great recommendations, or share stories of her time living on the island for the last 40 years. My husband I will definitely be returning to stay again!

Great host and a great place to stay with awesome views
This property was easy to access and has great views from the bedroom, hot tub, and veranda. It's a perfect site for couples, as the villa was comfortable and had plenty of privacy. The host lives on-site and she was great. She met us at the car ferry and we followed her up to the villa where she gave us a brief tour of the place. This location is a very easy drive down to Cruz Bay, where there are some great food and bar options. Additionally, it was an easy drive to the beaches. We spent most of our time at Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Maho Bay. Trunk Bay was the most popular/crowded and charged $5 per person if you arrived between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm, but otherwise was free. It did have the most options for rentals and food, as well as bathrooms and showers. Maho Bay was a really great option for Sea Turtle and Stingray sightings. They also had some great food options across the street at Maho Crossroads, as well as a tiki bar. As an added bonus, there was live music the two days we visited.

About the host

Hosted by Jackie M

Host profile image
I fell in love with St John, the gem of the islands. For many years, our summer home was on Madeline Island in Wisconsin on Lake Superior. St. John became the perfect island winter home for us. We filled our days with beach-combing, snorkeling, hiking the National Park trails and learning the island history. Building our home here was a big adventure. I have completed the dream and I want to share it with you.

This island is now my permanent home. For 28 years and I have had the honor to host guests for many of these years. I love to hear their stories and share mine.

Why they chose this property

The beautiful view and trade winds above Great Cruz Bay took our heart away at first site. What a Caribbean island!

Come be my guest and tell me your story. Why did you come to St John? I live on site and will be here to answer any questions or at the end of your day, a solute and toast on the veranda to a beautiful sunset over the twinkling lights of the islands. Cheers!

What makes this property unique

I live on the property so that I can further ensure a relaxing and wonderful vacation experience for you.

What is nice about our home is the great uplifting feelings of dreams coming true, the soft breeze of the trade winds, cool nights on your sun-kissed skin and stargazing from the veranda. The peaceful surroundings, the sounds of nature, and the spectacular ocean views will take your breath away!

Close to the town of Cruz Bay and a short drive to the most beautiful beaches in the world. Grocery stores, restaurants and take-out food are available only a few minutes away. We look forward to hosting you on St. John, the Gem of the Caribbean!

This Villa is for two adults only, not appropriate for children. This is a non-smoking facility.
