About this property

PANACEA @ Battery Hill, Superb Location, with Backup Power and Split A/C Units

“Panacea,” meaning “the remedy for all,” overlooks beautiful Cruz Bay and Pillsbury Sound. Located in the Battery Hill 9-unit Caribbean style condominium complex, “Panacea” is perfectly situated for in-town tropical vacation living.

Battery Hill is just a short 5 minute walk to the nearest beach (Frank Bay) and the shops and restaurants in Cruz Bay village. We are happy to announce that Panacea has undergone many changes and upgrades! As of August 2024, a new backup power source was installed. This will supply air conditioning and electricity in the case of a power outage. In addition, during the months of August-September 2023, Battery Hill underwent many changes and upgrades. The railings have all been replaced and the pool area and deck have been upgraded.

Panacea stands out as one of only three 2 bedroom/2 bath units at Battery Hill. In 2022, the complex upgraded to a UV water filtration system, so water in the unit is drinkable.

The condo itself is fully equipped for all your needs. It has a colorful island living space with a separate kitchen and dining area. The kitchen area was completely remodeled in August 2023. You will enjoy a new range area with beautifully crafted kitchen cabinets and granite countertops. The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom has 2 twin beds, which can be converted to a king. Both bedrooms have full sized walk-in bathrooms with showers (one located between the two rooms and the other located outside the living room). A third sleeping space, with its own wall a/c unit, is located off the living room, is equipped with a full size twin bed sleeping area and can be blocked off with room darkening fabric curtains. In December 2023, the condo air conditioning was upgraded to split A/C units, which are very quiet and efficient. In addition, all rooms have ceiling fans.

Beautiful breezes can be found when relaxing on the newly remodeled private deck. This can be accessed through the main living area and off the master bedroom.

“Panacea” is fully connected to WiFi throughout the unit, with a smart TV in the main living area.

Battery Hill’s refreshing pool with a sun deck overlooks the village of Cruz Bay. This is a great spot to relax after a day at the beach. Beach towels and chairs are provided and the pool area is equipped with sun lounges and tables. Also, a new large propane grill is available to you for your outdoor cooking needs.

There is a washer and dryer in the shared guest laundry room on the pool level. Also, beach chairs are provided on a first-come, first-served basis for guests staying at Battery Hill. They are located on the first floor. Guest beach towels, a Bogg beach bag and a cooler are also available for your use.

A rental car is a great option which will help you explore the island of St. John, and off the street parking is available in our paved lot next to the building! This is a rare find in Cruz Bay! Taxis are available near the ferry and in town if needed.

The layout of this unit is perfect for friends traveling together, two couples or a small family!
