Romantic 1BR Oasis – Private Pool, Ocean Views, Near Cruz Bay
Private Pool Luxury 1-Bedroom with Ocean View – Just 5 Minutes from Cruz Bay
Welcome to your private Caribbean hideaway.
This luxurious one-bedroom villa is tucked away in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood just a quick five-minute drive from the heart of Cruz Bay. With panoramic ocean views, a private pool, and curated amenities designed for romance, rest, and reconnection, this is a space where time slows down and the beauty of the island wraps around you like a warm breeze.
Designed for Connection and Comfort
The villa was fully renovated after the hurricanes and now offers both elegance and ease. Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings, warm-toned natural finishes, and a spacious open layout that lets the light in and invites you to breathe a little deeper.
The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures, featuring a 6-burner Wolf gas stove, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from fresh-caught fish to romantic candlelit meals at home.
The king-sized bedroom is calm and breezy, with soft linens, ceiling fans, and AC for those warm Caribbean nights. The ensuite bathroom is large, luxurious, and connects to two private outdoor showers—where you can rinse off under the stars or the morning sun, surrounded by tropical greenery.
**Private Pool, Ocean Views, and Sunset Magic**
Step outside onto your expansive deck where you’ll find your own private plunge pool overlooking the ocean. Lounge in the sun or float as the sky shifts from blue to gold to deep purple, watching the sun set over St. Thomas. It’s the kind of view you’ll want to toast every evening.
You’ll also find comfortable seating, loungers, and tropical landscaping around the villa. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the inside—intentionally designed to offer privacy, peace, and a deep connection to nature.
**Experiences to Make Your Stay Unforgettable**
We want your time here to feel effortless and memorable. We can help arrange everything from:
Private, in-villa chef dinners
Sunset massages on the deck
Sunrise yoga classes tailored to your pace
Island excursions or boat trips
Airport transportation or Jeep rental recommendations
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply craving solitude and beauty, we’re here to help you create the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.
**Perfect for Two (But Can Sleep More)**
This villa is ideal for one or two adults seeking a private retreat, but it can also accommodate additional guests thanks to a high-end sleeper sofa in the living area. Let us know your group size and we’ll make sure you're all comfortable.
**Close to Everything, Yet a World Away**
Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only five minutes from the restaurants, bars, ferry dock, and beach gear shops of Cruz Bay. Spend your days exploring North Shore beaches, hiking scenic trails in Virgin Islands National Park, or dining on fresh seafood at the water’s edge—then return to your peaceful hillside oasis.
Onsite parking is included, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace.
**Why Guests Love It Here**

Chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances
Two private outdoor showers
Quiet, safe residential location
Personalized concierge services
Close to Cruz Bay and beaches
Fully automated generator for power outages.

About the host
Hosted by Hannah Jones

Hi, I’m Hannah, owner of Dream Life Properties and The Garden of Eden Cottage Collection! Originally from the island of Kauai, I’ve been lucky to call beautiful St. John home for the past 20 years. With a lifelong background in hospitality—including 13 years managing and selling timeshares at the Westin St. John—I know what it takes to help people feel welcome, relaxed, and at home in paradise.
I LOVE everything about island life: lazy beach days, early hikes in the hills, and sharing great meals at our incredible local restaurants. Whether you're here to explore the trails, swim in our turquoise waters, or simply unwind in the sunshine, I’m happy to share local tips to help make your stay unforgettable.
I want my guests to feel the same peace and beauty that drew me to St. John in the first place—and I’m here if you need anything during your stay!

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds—peace and privacy, while still being just a five-minute drive to Cruz Bay, where you’ll find restaurants, shops, and all the island’s energy.
Our studio is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small, thoughtfully curated collection of rentals tucked into a safe, quiet hillside neighborhood. It’s ideal for solo travelers or couples looking for a clean, comfortable, and budget-friendly home base. Whether you're here for your very first trip to St. John or returning for a soulful island reset, we’ve designed the space to feel welcoming, easy, and grounded.
We specialize in shorter stays, including 1 night, a rare commodity on the island, last-minute getaways, and supporting solo adventurers—especially those who may be new to the island. As a woman who travels solo often myself, I understand how important it is to feel safe and supported. We aim to create an inclusive space for everyone, no matter where you’re from, how you travel, or who you love.
The neighborhood itself is residential and peaceful, just next door to The Hills—one of the most beautiful villa communities on island. From here, it’s an easy drive to the National Park beaches, trails, and Cruz Bay nightlife, but when you return home, it feels like a gentle exhale..

What makes this property unique
What makes this space truly special is the way it feels the moment you arrive—calm, open, and deeply nourishing.
This private pool villa is part of Paradise Found Villas, a small, soulful collection of thoughtfully designed rentals nestled into a peaceful residential neighborhood just minutes from Cruz Bay. Unlike a hotel or a generic rental, this place has heart. It's ideal for couples or solo travelers craving beauty, privacy, and space to breathe.
From the ocean-view pool to the outdoor showers tucked into tropical greenery, every element has been chosen with care and intention. Whether you're watching the sunset over St. Thomas from your deck or cooking a slow, delicious dinner with a private chef, you’ll feel the quiet magic that lives here.
We know not everyone is looking for something huge or flashy. Sometimes what you really want is a serene, well-loved space that gives you room to slow down and reconnect—with nature, your partner, or yourself. We especially love hosting guests who are celebrating something meaningful or simply seeking peace between adventures.
You’ll have all the privacy you need, but I’m nearby if you ever want local tips or help with anything. After nearly two decades living on St. John, I love sharing the kinds of recommendations you won’t find in a guidebook—hidden beaches, off-the-radar hikes, the best cocktails, or a quiet spot to watch the moon rise.
There are beautiful places all over this island. But what sets this one apart is the soul it carries. It’s not just luxurious—it’s alive with warmth, light, and welcome. A place you’ll want to return to the moment you leave.
