WATER ACCESS! - WATER VIEW! GREAT LOCATION on Great Cruz Bay! No power outages!
Location, Location, Location!!!
Chocolate Chip is a lower level apartment in a private villa (Peace of Chocolate). It has a separate entry, eating area, sitting area, tv, small refrigerator, hot plate and toaster oven. It has a king bedroom with an on-suite bathroom and a second room with 2 twin beds that shares the king on-suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have air conditioning.
Peace of Chocolate is located in the neighborhood of Chocolate Hole right around the corner from the Westin on Great Cruz Bay Road just 5 minutes from St. John’s main town of Cruz Bay. The property has a POOL and lush gardens with flowering shrubs and fruit trees. A 10-foot-wide path at the corner of the property leads to the kayaks and the beautiful waters of Great Cruz Bay.
Very few properties offer all of this: - Pool - A/C in bedrooms - Back up solar power with 3 Tesla powerwalls - Washer/dryer access - Water view of sailboats and Westin beach on Great Cruz Bay - Water access to Great Cruz Bay - Kayaks - LEVEL parking space at road - 10 minutes from Cruz Bay shopping and restaurants - 10 minutes from ferry dock
Stayed recently and gave a 4 star only because of two things. I feel that the bathroom door would not close all the way and we had to prop table against it - no privacy at all.And the path to water was a bit treacherous to get to. All in all the lower unit needs some updating and quick fixes. Location was good and owner was very responsive. All in all a 4 out 5 stars.

Hard to review
This property was adequate. A basement apartment with good views. It was tricky for us as senior citizens to manage the stairs and didn’t know accessibility was going to be an issue. Bedrooms and bathroom were excellent but the “kitchen “ was lacking. For the money we did not feel the value was there. Reminded me of a college student’s apartment. Loved the pool!

Sweet gem of a place
We loved our stay at Chocolate Chip. Lin is gracious and friendly. The villa is quite spacious for a 2 BR and has very nice outdoor decking and pool area. The grounds are very lush and the kayak/SUP ramp to Great Cruz Bay is really special. Parking is easy up on the road. Just a few minute drives from groceries and town.

Gorgeous view of Great Cruz Bay
First time on St. Johns USVI. The location and condition of the stay were perfect, especially being close to the Wedding location. It is very clean and well-maintained. The owner was easy to get ahold of through phone, text and online. Perfect stay for my husband, son and myself!

Beautiful stay on Great Cruz Bay
We absolutely loved this place on Great Cruz Bay! The views of the harbor from the pool were amazing after spending the day at the beaches. This is the cleanest vrbo I’ve ever stayed in. Lin was wonderful with ease of check in and giving great restaurant recommendations. Will come back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property with a very helpful and attentive host! Here for several days on our honeymoon. The location was excellent and Lin, our host, took very good care of us. She was very helpful with great recommendation for sightseeing and food. The property was clean and had everything we needed for a romantic stay. Will definitely return!

Gorgeous tropical getaway
We were delighted by our stay at “Chocolate Chip!” Lin went out of her way to provide helpful information, invaluable tips, and lovely recommendations. She went above and beyond with letting us borrow key items that made our stay easy, enjoyable, and memorable. The unit is lovely with incredible, postcard like pictures! Thank you Lin for all you did to welcome us and make our first trip to STJ absolutely wonderful!

Fantastic Location and View. Very friendly and service oriented host.
We had a short, but great stay in The Chocolate Chip. The house is very well located with great views. The terrace and pool make for a great vacation. Inside the house there is space for improvement where the kitchen ( little working space and poorly equipped) and the availability of only one bathroom (only accesible trough the main bedroom) are concerned. Very friendly host/owner.

Choco Chip Delight
Perfect for our needs- loved having morning coffee/afternoon beverage on the deck enjoying the lovely view/grounds. Owner was very responsive with all questions. Took a quick kayak run in the bay which was fun (wished it could have been longer but the kayaks we used didn’t have back support and it bothered the hubbys back). Would stay here again.

Perfect little getaway spot on St. John
Lin was 100% accurate in her property description. She was up front and communicative before we arrived about the guests staying upstairs. She gave us simple but priceless tips about stopping at the market to get ice and paper products, gave us an exceptional restaurant recommendation, and was a fabulous host. The property offers a little pool for an adorable dip while looking at true paradise. The iguanas were so big and delightful to see while swimming in the evening. We enjoyed using the kayaks in the bay. The only thing we did wrong was that we did our beach tour on the day we arrived on St. John before checking into the room. We should have done our hiking/shopping that day so that we could use the chairs/snorkels/cooler for our beach day. Now we have an excuse to return and enjoy the Chocolate chip again! It was a delightful stay and we would definitely return. If I went back to St. John I wouldn't even look for another place to stay. I would simply book with Lin. The location was exceptional and the property was cozy, had character, and offered everything we could have needed. If I had one suggestion it might be for a better coffeepot, but it honestly did the trick; it just needed a little encouragement to get going. :) Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!

So beautiful!
Amazing! Spent my birthday here and couldn't be any happier. Loved sitting out on the patio at sunset and sunrise just looking at the view. Drove to many beaches during the day and back to the house for a glass of wine with friends out on the patio. Great view and very quiet!
Will want to go back again soon!

Wonderful apartment with an absolutely incredible view!
Myself and two friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Peace of Chocolate". Communication with Lin was fantastic, and our every need was met. Words cannot describe the view from her deck. It seems like we are gazing at a perfectly framed painting-that is how beautiful it is. As we sat on the deck drinking our morning coffee the view of the harbor, dotted with anchored sail boats, and framed by the beautiful grounds and coconut palms, could not had been more perfect. The pool was refreshing, and we had fun spotting the lizards up in the trees and hearing them munch on the leaves while we lounged in the water. The property is so close to the Westin and you can see their beach from Lin's waterfront. There is a nice path that leads you to the harbor and Lin has kayaks available. We did not rent a car and easily found taxicab drivers that would pick us up. If you do rent a car then a really nice feature is that Lin has street level parking for one car available-a rare find for properties set upon a mountain. Her unit is cozy and cute and the beds are fantastic. We can't wait to come back and stay again.

Quiet, relaxing, stay with beautiful views
Our Family loved our stay. The grounds of the property have many varied species of colorful, flowing plants and trees. There are hummingbirds and vibrant songbirds, iguanas and other types of lizards too. The pool deck overlooks Chocolate hole bay and is wonderful spot for an evening meal and or cocktail. There are kayaks to use and the bay is paddler friendly. Our host was very friendly and easy to get in touch with.
Very nice place and I would recommend it.

Amazing property!
We stayed in Chocolate Chip & it was lovely! Very comfortable bed, beautiful, relaxing pool with views of Westin Bay. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, Lin. She was upstairs, but you would never know it, super private spaces. We were looking for a cooler to hike with and she produced one in about 30 seconds! Easy drive from ferry and easy parking space, level with the road. We’ll be back with our kids and will rent Lin’s whole house, Peace of Chocolate. Thank you!

Beautiful stay with the friendliest hostess
Ms. Lin was beyond gracious, with great communication and offering of tips and hints to enjoy the island. Her hospitality were above and beyond. Chocolate Chip was the perfect place for our family of 4. Ms Lin makes sure you will be comfortable and the view is beautiful. This is on the same bay as the Westin, but is much more desirable and affordable. The kayaks and pool area were a great bonus. Would love to return sometime.
