About this property

Gorgeous ocean view penthouse/No shared walls/Quick walk to Cruz Bay/Pool!!

Welcome to Palm Breeze Villa! This penthouse sits at the top of Battery Hill providing 360 degree views of the ocean and lush green hillsides. The covered deck provides much needed shade and beautiful ocean views of Cruz Bay. You can marvel at the multiple shades of the crystal clear blue water as you enjoy a morning cup of coffee or cocktail at sunset. You will be right in town so can easily walk to all your favorite restaurants and shops. Because this top floor unit is in a stand alone building you will not have any shared walls- extremely unique within Cruz Bay.

The main bedroom faces Cruz Bay and has marvelous ocean views. The spacious loft has room for four guests, with two twin beds and one queen bed. The AC system has just been upgraded throughout with split AC, including units in both bedroom spaces as well as the main living space. Though with the continuous breeze high on Battery Hill you will may only need to open the windows in the evening to keep cool.

The well appointed kitchen is open to the dining and living areas and have striking ocean views looking towards Turner Bay and beyond. These main living spaces have beautiful vaulted ceilings making it feel spacious, open, and bright.

Although you can manage without a vehicle on St John by taking taxis to the many spectacular beaches and walking to town, we would still recommend renting a vehicle to get the most out of your vacation. There is flat parking for the unit right out front in a dedicated lot. The complex also has a dipping pool the has both a covered area and pool deck for sunning all with ocean views. Beach chairs and other beach and pool accessories are provided for the guests.

Come enjoy our penthouse villa!!

Enjoyed our stay

This condo was perfect for our family of 5. The A/C was great in the bedroom. The A/C for the living area was strong enough to make the condo comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Beach supplies (cooler,towels chairs) were provided. The balcony was awesome, great views.Started every morning there with a coffee and finished every night there with a drink listening to music from the Beach Bar below. About an 8 minute walk to Cruz Bay, the hill was manageable. Overall I would definitely choose to stay again. No generator if that is a factor for your stay.

Wonderful Vacation, Wonderful Accomodation

We loved everything about Palm Breezes. The condo was very clean and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed having breakfast on the deck, taking in the views and the breezes. The location is perfect for an active family like ours that likes to walk into town for shopping and dinner. We cannot wait to come back!

Caribbean Getaway

Very nice property in a great location! The complimentary beach chairs and towels are a major plus. It's walking distance to town. You're going to want to take the West street down to town, the North end is a little intense especially after some adult beverages. Overall nice spot and a beautiful view of Cruz Bay from the balcony

Perfect location! Beautiful views!

Can’t tell you enough great things about this property! Walking distance from all the action (Restaurants, bars, shopping, ferry dock) but high enough where you have wonderful views of Cruz bay and all the boats coming in! Everything was well stocked from beach chairs, coolers, towels, and kitchenware! Just a short drive to the North shore beaches or a short walk down to your pool and BBQ grill! Can’t wait to return! 10/10 would recommend!!

Daughter's Wedding

Rainbow's End was perfect! We were visiting St. John for my daughter's wedding. The condo was well-appointed, clean, and within walking distance to Cruz Bay. We have booked this condo many times and continue to be thrilled with the location and amenities.

Great view with cooling breezes!

Great place to stay. Cruze Bay is a small town with very little parking. While this wouldn't be accommodating to a person not able to walk the streets leading into town, it worked quite well for us. The views of the bay were always there to greet us. Would love to get this property again.

Great location and ciews

Had a great week with our two kids, ages 20,23. Able to walk so many places. Great accommodations, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Could have rented a car for only a couple of days rather that the whole time. Refreshing pool at the end of the day. We highly recommend.

Amazing views and privacy

Top unit on top of Battery Hill affords amazing views of Cruz Bay from Bedroom and patio, and Frank Bay from kitchen. No shared walls and high elevation allows for windows to be open all night! Tough hill when walking from town, but less than 10 minutes to walk to restaurants and taxis.

Wonderful condo and beautiful views

We enjoyed everything about Palm Breeze! The views were amazing, walking distance to the shops, bars, and car rental. Our greeter at check-in was wonderful as well - very informative! The set-up of the condo was perfect for our family of 5. The loft had 3 beds, one for each teenager, with a "master" bed on the main level. The condo is also well stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs and towels. All we bought was a few groceries to get us thru the week. Our Jeep rental was a blast getting around the island. And the beaches are the best I've ever been to. Would definitely recommend and stay in again!

Another perfect St. John visit!

This was our 4th stay at Battery Hill Condos and the first at this particular unit. This unit is probably our favorite of all the stays. Great views, exceptionally clean, and with everything needed for a family vacation. My wife and I traveled with our two kids (8/10) and the unit was perfectly sized. Easy booking, easy check in/out, owner and management responsive and available if needed...we will definitely be back! :)

Great acccommodation, wonderful time

We stayed here for a week in February 2010 and loved it. The condo is well maintained, the other residents (owners) were very friendly and we loved the pool with its deck overlooking the bay. The stairs were a bit tough on my elderly mother, but we worked around it. You do need to have a car if you have anyone who is older. We just enjoyed ourselves so much and St. John has always been our favorite place to vacation. Thanks for a great stay.

Palm Breezes STJ

I have been traveling to STJ for the last 15 years. I decided to try a new place to stay since I was bringing friends with me. Palm Breezes was great. Beautiful view, clean, and spacious. Equipped with everything needed and a short walk to Cruz Bay. (recommend a car rental , or cab). Nakira, who helped us check in was super friendly and very thorough. Will definitely stay here again!

St. John visit

Great place with great ocean view and all the amenities. Also nice being able to walk to downtown Cruz Bay and get some good exercise as the condo is on top of a big hill. Being able to use the beach towels, cooler, beach bags, and chairs for all our beach adventures was a huge plus. Enjoyed relaxing at the pool after a day at the beach. Nice to have a grill, but could definitely use an upgrade as it didn't get hot enough to cook at normal grilling times for the chicken we grilled. Would stay again.

Wonderful time, great condo

We have a family of 4, the youngest child being 6 and she had no problem walking up the road. The live music came in through the patio at night because we opened the door to hear it, but it didn't keep the kids awake. Hardest part is that we chose not to rent a car, but really enjoyed the walks as we needed the exercise. Condo is clean and comes with a safe with a key which is nice. Great value, great place!!

Great place for 4

Eight wonderful nights in St. John at this well provisioned condo. Ac worked good, kitchen appliances great (esp the blender), towels and linens and community beach chairs plenty. Only wish was that there was a beach umbrella dedicated to this condo specifically. The community umbrellas were unusable/broken. Walk to and from restaurants and shopping was doable/convenient. Would not hesitate to book again.

About the host

Hosted by Allison Ramsay

Host profile image
Our family absolutely loves spending time on St John! We have 2 young kids and the beaches and water here are ideal for teaching them to snorkel. We have also enjoyed doing some of the hiking on St John (Rams Head, Honeymoon Beach, Caneel Hill).

Why they chose this property

Being right in Cruz Bay is so convenient for our family to be able to eat dinners out - there are so many great choices all walkable to Palm Breeze.

What makes this property unique

Our penthouse unit is in a stand-alone building with no shared walls. The building is at the top of a hill so gets 360 degree views.
