Water access to Great Cruz Bay with pool! No power outages!
New listing - see reviews for lower level only, Chocolate Chip, at vrbo #2474962
PEACE OF CHOCOLATE is a 2-story villa with a pool located in the neighborhood of Chocolate Hole. It right around the corner from the Westin on Great Cruz Bay Road and is just 5 minutes from St. John’s main town of Cruz Bay and grocery stores are even closer!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck looking out at the activities going on in the bay as crews prepare for sailing, snorkeling or fishing trips and the Westin shuttle boat brings guests and employees to and from the hotel. It is a short 15-minute walk to the end of the Westin beach where you can schedule outings or rentals with Cruz Bay Watersports or have lunch or dinner at the Westin's beachside restaurant, Snorkels. You may even be able to join in on a volleyball game on the beach! You can also catch a taxi to town at the Westin, if you don't want to wait for one to come to the villa.
In the evening, enjoy your favorite beverage and dinner while watching the sunset and later you can hear the laughter and squeals from the night kayakers and paddle boarders as they encounter tarpon feeding in the bay.
My home is NOT AFFECTED BY POWER OUTAGES. I have a whole house solar system with 3 Tesla power walls. There is air conditioning in the main living area, as well as each bedroom. The home has some traditional rock wall features inside and skylights let in lots of additional daylight! There is a pool and lush tropical gardens with flowering shrubs, fruit trees and 5 kinds of palm trees.
A 10-foot-wide path at the corner of the property leads to the kayaks and the entrance to Great Cruz Bay with a rock wall bulkhead (no beach).
Beach towels, chairs and a cooler provided.
Enjoy!!

Hello and welcome!
My name is Lin Garvey. I am from Charlotte, NC. I purchased my home in December 2020 and became a full time resident! I now have a beautiful home on the water where my friends and family can visit. I want to share it with others.

Why they chose this property
Location is one of the many positives about this villa. It is easy to reach and close to town while still private with unique views of Great Cruz Bay. So close are you to the water, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the activities of the bay. A 1 minute walk down my private path allows access to the water.
The interior boasts the classic rock wall features of traditional Caribbean homes.
