Fall asleep to the sound of waves, wake up to ocean views, and the ferry crossing Turner Bay. We pick you up at the dock when you arrive. Beach chairs, a cooler, and beach towels are ready for your days in the sun. You start and end your trip with a vacation-ready villa.
The screened porch is where you'll spend most of your time; guests love the trade winds coming through, dining table for two, a sofa to sink into while watching Turner Bay below in the evening liight. Four large doors connect the living room to a sun room that faces the ocean, so the view follows you inside. Tall ceilings and southern exposure flood the unit with light. Close the folding doors and hardwood shutters when you want privacy.
One queen bedroom with a picture window framing bougainvillea, distant hills, and open sky. A living room with a queen sleep sofa. Both sleeping areas have separate private access to the fully tiled shower and glass door. A fully equipped kitchen with a small bar and stools. Located in a small complex that stays quiet.
Guests love the short walk into to down town restaurants, shopping and bars: no rental car needed. Free parking is provided if you need it. From the condo, there are two routes into town, a longer gentle slope along the waterfront, or a shorter steep hill if you want the faster way; restaurants, bars, the taxi stand, and two grocery stores are all within 10 minutes on foot. A grocery cart is provided for your shopping runs.
Prefer to explore the island? Taxis leave from town to the North Shore beaches throughout the day. Rent a car, and as noted there is reserved on-site parking waiting for you.
Conch Villas was built in 1986 using rare Brazilian hardwoods, IPE and Jatoba sourced from the Para province near the Amazon Delta. The walls, siding, and shutters were prefabricated in Belem with hardware of Brazilian design. Materials so dense they are used as flooring in Brazil. No other property in Cruz Bay has this.
Five units in the complex. You will not share the grounds with a crowd.
An 8-hour battery backup system handles the rolling outages that occasionally rotate across the island. You won't notice them.
Impromptu visits by peacocks and goats can be expected.
Our concierge team, Kelly and Traci, will be your on-site hosts. Kelly and Traci are long-time residents of St. John in the hospitality industry and know the island intimately. Both can help you get the most out of your visit! You will be picked up at the ferry dock and taken to Convivare, and on the day of your journey home, you will receive a drop-off at the ferry as well. Don't feel obligated to the rides if you intend to make other contactless arrangements to the villa.
