Island stonewalls & a mature tropical garden make an enchanting home for two couples. Two king master bedroom suites are equipped with air conditioning, but the island breezes make them an unnecessary option year round. Nature is at your doorstep with the nearby salt pond provides a nesting haven for local birds.
An intimate & private hideaway for two or an economical home away from home for the family. Nestled in hillside gardens with blooming bougainvillea, hibiscus & orchids and lime trees, the island fauna beckons for exploration. You can hear the blue Caribbean Sea lap the shoreline from your deck overlooking Chocolate Hole. Come & stay in style & class economically just five minutes from the shops & restaurants of Cruz Bay.
Two separate suites each have a full bath and king bed with ample room to spread out & relax. The owner’s son – a day trader for a hedge fund based on St John & co-owner of the villa – resides in a separate one bedroom apartment with a separate entrance most of the year. He can offer you island insights and scuba tips or all the total privacy you may desire.
A spacious Great Room with a vaulted ceiling with large open doors open to a tranquil view of Chocolate Hole Bay. The cool, Caribbean trade winds sweep through the villa day & night. Additionally, every room is equipped with ceiling fans.
A modern kitchen with all the amenities and a comfortable bar overlook the Caribbean blue water and lend to a unique culinary experience. An Italian travertine stone slab dining table with a Schnell Studio weave light are situated next to the kitchen for indoor dining.
The Great Room & dining area open onto a wooden deck running the length of the villa providing an option for outdoor dining as well as additional living space. Mornings and early afternoon the deck offers bright sun while the afternoons are shady cooled as the trade winds come across the valley and the salt pond.
Steps lead to a short stroll to swimming & snorkeling at the Chocolate Hole Beach and a 5 – 10 minute drive to the spectacular National Park beaches.

A Last Minute Stay handled perfectly!
We had to change our vacation plans mid-week when our daughter got sick and we missed our flight to Maui. She got better, so we needed a Plan B for a shorter trip, and St. John was a much closer destination for us. Donald answered our booking request within an hour on the day that we needed to check-in. He made it all workout for us and we could not have been happier with this villa. Great views, plenty of space, comfy beds, good AC and beautiful gardens and neighborhood. Also, Donald rented us a jeep which made everything easier. We had half a day to plan a trip to St. John and without Donald it would not have happened. Thanks again to him and his team.

Not very friendly
Beautiful property, comfortable beds and sitting areas. Kitchen not well equipped for cooking meals with scarcity of pots and pans but plenty of gadgets. No cutting board for cocktails. Property managers were pretentious, to the point of making both of us feel uncomfortable. This would deter us from staying there again.

We'll be back!
Our group of 4 adults spent 5 days at Ocean Garden, a beautiful villa designed, built and decorated by the owners in their unique style. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, complemented by a large outdoor terrace for additional living space. The pictures don't lie. The property is located a short drive from Cruz Bay in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of a pond and surrounding mountains. We enjoyed spending time at the villa, going into town, touring the island and visiting the beautiful beaches in the national park.
The hospitality offered by our hosts was exceptional. They kept in touch by email prior to our stay and responded immediately to any questions. We rented a jeep from them, and Donald met us at the ferry with the car when we arrived, escorted us to the villa, showed us where to buy groceries, checked in with us during our stay, and dropped us at the ferry when we left. In addition, they sent us off with lovely gifts from their pottery. We could not have asked for more accommodating hosts.

Great Stay!!
We stayed here for our wedding in St John - perfect size and location for me and my husband. Just a quick drive down to Cruz Bay and easy drive to get to beaches! Donald and family/crew were all very great to us!! Communication was top notch - they had a driver waiting at the airport for us, reserved spots on the ferry for us, picked us up from the ferry once we arrived to STJ, and took us to the ferry when we left. They are friendly and just a call/text away if you need anything at all! Thank you for everything!! We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful getaway
Nestled in a hillside in Chocolate Hole near the Westin. Although the owner’s son lives in the lower level, we had all the privacy we needed. There is air conditioning but only used it at night in the bedroom. Fans were throughout the unit. The Schnell’s couldn’t have been nicer and Lucas, their son couldn’t have been more helpful. The terrace where we dined and hung out was a highlight.

Nice 2 bedroom
Overall, this was a nice place to stay. My daughter and I came for Spring Break and spend time with just the 2 of us. Donald picked us up from the ferry and took us when we departed. That was wonderful!The 2 bedroom was fully equipped for what we needed. Beach chairs provided which is always a plus. We had trouble renting a jeep and Donald came to the rescue of providing us a rental car. I can't imagine being on the island without one. The balcony was great to sip on coffee in the morning and have a cocktail in the afternoon. Very close to the grocery and close the town to shop and restaurants.

Artistic Villa
This two bedroom villa was roomy, comfortable, well located and provided us with the ability to enjoy preparing some of our meals.
The owner was very accommodating and helped us learn our way around the island.
We had a very pleasant stay.

Awesomeness
The owners were amazing throughout our entire stay. I can’t thank them enough for offering the use of one of their vehicles when ours broke down. They also assisted with restaurant recommendations to some amazing locations. The accommodations were beyond clean. The owner has a pottery studio not far from the villa and you can see his work throughout the town. Such a great experience and stay. We will be back.

Great Time, Great Place, Great Hospitality!
We had a great time. It always goes by too quick. Can't wait to come back. I made sure I brought home a real estate book with me just so I can dream...haha.
Thank you for the hospitality. We loved the villa and it worked perfectly for us. Everything we asked for was provided and more.
Happy New Year and go Navy!
Until next time,

Nice house
This was a very nice house to stay in. FYI: this was my 6th trip to St. John and we've stayed in a different place each time. This trip, we stayed with another couple. Our friends stayed in the "better" suite with the double doors to the veranda. Very cute room, and the pictures make it look very lovely. It is, but... the curtains needed to be shut all the time because someone lives downstairs and there was construction happening on the sidewalks around the place. There were people walking around often enough to mandate closed curtains and loss of the sunny room. There were no curtains on the bathroom so my friend had to tape a garbage bag up. (though someone did come and hang some curtains one day when we were out). The other bedroom was okay. Someone else complained that the bathroom needed updating. Either it had been or I thought it was fine. I do understand that updates don't happen in the VI like we are accustomed to in the states because material and labor cost so much there, so maybe I'm just more understanding. That being said, the peeling paint on the jaccuzi deck REALLY does need to be re-done. It's just bad. Also, we were told that the jacuzzi heats on a timer, but it was never (never) warm enough for us to use. The living areas are beautiful. The location is great as it is a very easy and quick drive into town, the roads/driveway is good.

Great location
Great location. The villa is still a work in progress. One bedroom suite updated nicely. Great bathroom / shower. Double doors to veranda. the second suite is comfortable but needs updating. 2nd bedroom window screens are torn and windows need painting. Bathroom needs updating. Living area is very nice and kitchen very functionable. Wifi and TV worked well. Veranda needs new decking, as well as the jacuzzi deck. The jacuzzi deck was in bad shape. Beautiful morning sunrises, and view of chocolate hole. Easy 5 minute ride to Cruz Bay and main roads to beaches. The owner is extremely nice. We rented jeep from him and he arranged private taxi from air port and water taxi to St John. His art work is displayed throughout villa. Would love to see this again when al updates are complete.
