Vacker lyx 1 sovrum-Ocean & solnedgång och pool - minuter från Cruz Bay

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!

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 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.
