Om boendet

“Panacea”-A close walk to town--your place with backup power and split AC units.

“Panacea,” meaning “the remedy for all,” overlooks beautiful Cruz Bay and Pillsbury Sound. Located in the Battery Hill 9-unit Caribbean style condominium complex, “Panacea” is perfectly situated for in-town tropical vacation living.

Battery Hill is just a short 5 minute walk to the nearest beach (Frank Bay) and the shops and restaurants in Cruz Bay village. We are happy to announce that Panacea has undergone many changes and upgrades! As of August 2024, a new backup power source was installed. This will supply air conditioning and electricity in the case of a power outage. In addition, during the months of August-September 2023, Battery Hill underwent many changes and upgrades. The railings have all been replaced and the pool area and deck have been upgraded.

Panacea stands out as one of only three 2 bedroom/2 bath units at Battery Hill. In 2022, the complex upgraded to a UV water filtration system, so water in the unit is drinkable.

The condo itself is fully equipped for all your needs. It has a colorful island living space with a separate kitchen and dining area. The kitchen area was completely remodeled in August 2023. You will enjoy a new range area with beautifully crafted kitchen cabinets and granite countertops. The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the second bedroom has 2 twin beds, which can be converted to a king. Both bedrooms have full sized walk-in bathrooms with showers (one located between the two rooms and the other located outside the living room). A third sleeping space, with its own wall a/c unit, is located off the living room, is equipped with a full size twin bed sleeping area and can be blocked off with room darkening fabric curtains. In December 2023, the condo air conditioning was upgraded to split A/C units, which are very quiet and efficient. In addition, all rooms have ceiling fans.

Beautiful breezes can be found when relaxing on the newly remodeled private deck. This can be accessed through the main living area and off the master bedroom.

“Panacea” is fully connected to WiFi throughout the unit, with a smart TV in the main living area.

Battery Hill’s refreshing pool with a sun deck overlooks the village of Cruz Bay. This is a great spot to relax after a day at the beach. Beach towels and chairs are provided and the pool area is equipped with sun lounges and tables. Also, a new large propane grill is available to you for your outdoor cooking needs.

There is a washer and dryer in the shared guest laundry room on the pool level.

A rental car is a great option which will help you explore the island of St. John, and off the street parking is available in our paved lot next to the building! This is a rare find in Cruz Bay! Taxis are available near the ferry and in town if needed.

The layout of this unit is perfect for friends traveling together, two couples or a small family!

Make sure to pick a condo with a view

Check in and communication process were great. However we stayed on the ground floor in a condo with a view of a brick wall. No light and the condo was a bit run down. Not all power outlets worked. Overall premises were clean and the pool was nice.

Fantastic stay in Cruz Bay

Panacea was the perfect home base for our trip to St. John. Walk to town, ample parking, quiet at night. The condo had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We plan to return next year! Thanks!

Perfect for us!

Loved staying at Panacea for 1 week. It was just right for our family of 5. We cooked a lot and used the outside grill. We swam in the pool everyday. The property hosts were very responsive to questions and had lots of island recommendations. Great place on an amazing island!

Great place and location

The condo was great for a vacation! Cute pool when we came back from the beaches The management company way super in communicating with us. The book they left answered all our questions. Although it is really close to Cruz Bay, you need to rent a car to enjoy St John We all agreed we would love to stay there again

The best week ever!

We had a wonderful stay at Pancea! This unit had to be one of the cleanest places that we’ve ever stayed. We appreciate the property manger going the extra mile in having a “welcome basket” for our recent graduate! So thoughtful and it was an unexpected surprise 😊 We would definitely stay here again without hesitation!

Exactly what we needed!!

Have visited STJ more than 20 times since the 90's and this was one for the books! Had such a wonderful time at this unit. My mother, partner, and I were able to access every part of the Island from this location (renting a car is a cinch!), and the ability to walk into Cruz Bay is a game changer for us. Long live the Beach Bar!!! Seeing turtles at Maho bay was A+ but sad to see the reef destruction at trunk bay and other classic spots. Loved how cleaned up Cruz Bay is! Sunsets we're tip top! Can't wait to return!

Nice place in Cruz Bay

Nice, clean space "accessible" to town. I say "accessible" because the summit where it is located, althought not terribly high, is very steep and near unwalkable. We still needed to drive up and down to town. Pros: Plenty of parking Great towels Excellent view from pool deck Nice pool Extra bed in living area Beach chairs, etc. Some provisions in fridge Cons: Greeter (Kooline) was non-responsive so it was a chore finding where to go. Every other villa we have rented had the greeter meet us at the ferry dock and bring us to the car rental or to the villa. Considering the steep hill, this is absolutely needed here. If you are not in great shape, do not try the hill and get a cab. No view from the room. An EMS vehicle would often take up 3 parking spaces. Not the fault of the Villa: The St John festival took place during our stay and we came at this time specifically to experience this as we first did 39 years ago. Still lots of great island food and drink and music. The music was extremely loud and was literally ALL NIGHT, as in it ended maybe at 9:00am! Since the villa is on a hill, it was like we were in front of the stage. We booked in town since we thought it would be nice to walk and not drive, which we could not do. If here for the festival in the future, we will stick with our usual plans and rent a villa not in Cruz Bay.

Birthday Trip

Property listing extremely accurate. Good info provided at arrival and good communication from owner and management company. Can’t say we loved climbing the hill on the way “home” after enjoying the beaches but the trip down to catch a taxi was much easier! Panacea met all our needs! We fixed a few meals and ate out a couple times. Was hard to leave 80 degree sunshine (and come home to snow!) Thanks so much!

Great location and accommodations that were just right!

Such a great experience from start to finish staying at Panacea. As a single mom with three preteen/teen girls it was easy to enjoy a week in clean, comfy and quiet surroundings while having access to all the dining, taxis, and excursions we wanted each day. We were contacted in advance and all questions were answered as well advice and help given. Sad to leave, but will definitely be back. Thank you!

Amazing location- so close to Cruz Bay

I had the pleasure of staying at Pawan’s Villa for a girls get away. The Villa comfortably fits 4 people but could easily accommodate 6 people. We loved having two bathrooms with full showers to make getting ready for a fun night out quick and easy. The best part about this villa is the location. It is a short walk into Cruz bay. Cruz bay has amazing night life and live music most nights. Our favorite restaurant is Mangos. The Villa also has a nice pool to cool off in midday. We enjoyed grilling outside and having drinks by the pool. Parking is easy and we always had a spot for our Jeep. The Villa even includes beach chairs and a cooler. If your looking to be close to Cruz bay this is the Villa for you!

Great condo and location

The condo was perfect for a group of 4. We spend late afternoons out by the pool enjoying a beverage and a few snacks. CimmaronStJohn was great to work with. They were available as needed and around most days cleaning the walks and pool area. It was only a 5 minute walk down to the shops and restaurants or to catch a taxi for the beach. (A few minutes longer on the way back as it was uphill..) I would recommend Panacea to any small group planning to visit St John.

Great condo for a family

Here are the things I loved about this condo: we had plenty of room for a family of 4 adults. We really appreciated having the extra bed in the alcove, making it like a 3-bedroom unit. The condo is in excellent condition, very clean and well-equipped, with TV, Netflix, and a good selection of DVD's. Lots of soft towels are provided and the kitchen is pretty well equipped as well. The location was really convenient to Cruz Bay, so we never needed to drive to dinner and we were also able to walk to the harbor and the National Park trails. The walk is steep down and up, so if the hills can't be managed, taxis are readily available. Cimmarron St. John does a good job meeting you and giving orientation to the condo. They are also responsive to requests for repairs and for planning trips. A few things to be aware of are that the condo is located right above the town, so it is noisy at night. However, if you shut the windows the noise can be managed. This condo doesn't have a much of a view from the outdoor deck, you need to go down to the pool (a few steps away) to have a view. There were plenty of mosquitoes indoors and out, although they only seemed to bother me and not the rest of my family. I used a lot of bug spray inside and outside the condo, and didn't use the outdoor deck because of the mosquitoes. There are beach chairs available, but they are shared with the other 8 condos in Battery Hill, so we had a couple of days that no chairs were available. Overall, it was a very good place for our family.

Great condo with great location

Pawan is very accommodating and made sure that our visit went as smoothly as possible. Our return flight home was cancelled due to snow in the states and Pawan was more than accommodative to let us stay the extra night in paradise. The central location in Cruz Bay allows you to not rent a jeep, but still have good access to all of the island via taxis or the bus. There is ample parking if you do rent a Jeep. The walk to the dock area of Cruz Bay is a short one, but is a bit of a climb on the way back up. We found the condo to be very well equipped and clean upon our arrival. Throughout the stay everything was in working order and we could not have enjoyed it more. We have stayed in other condos on St John, and Panacea has the most space we have found, easily accommodating up to 6 people. There is a large deck attached to Panacea that we used most nights to enjoy the breezes. During your stay Panacea is managed by Cimmarron who is very responsive to any request. We planned to take a deep sea fishing trip and they suggested a charter company upon our arrival who turned out to be fantastic. One of the best fishing charters I have been on. This was our sixth year in a row to St John, but easily the best accommodations. We will be staying at Panacea again in our future trips to St John.

Holiday Break

Panacea is a wonderful villa in our favorite location on Battery Hill. We've been to St. John 20 times and like to try different places and this is one of our favorites for location and convenience to downtown Cruz Bay. The villa is perfectly equipped and in very good condition. Parking is convenient for rental cars and there are beach chairs and coolers available for those wonderful days on the beach. The on-island agent, Cimmaron, handled the check-in and check-out process with ease. They called on first day when power went out island-wide, to provide updates and help answer any questions. We had a lovely week with friends, who stayed in another Battery Hill unit. It's a great way to spend a holiday week. My only caveat is the construction going on right next door. Pawan proactively and graciously extended a discount for our week for any inconvenience, which was appreciated.

Adorable condo in a perfect location!

We had such an amazing stay at Panacea! This was our 4th stay on St. John, but our first stay at Panacea. We have previously stayed at the Westin and another condo in Cruz Bay and this is definitely our favorite place to stay so far! First off, the booking process of the condo was seamless. Pawan, the owner, responded to all emails in a very timely manner which made our vacation planning super easy and stress free! The condo has a nice island feel with the decor and is very comfortable. It was the perfect size for a couple people to stay (we had 4 of us) without getting in the way of one another. We loved having the extra sun room and deck off the living room as both areas gave just a little added space if we wanted some alone time to just relax. The condo was very well supplied with everything from linens, to kitchen supplies...anything we needed to make it feel like home for the week was available. Also, I know this may sound silly, but the wifi connection was the best we've had out of any of the places we have past stayed which was great when we wanted to connect back to the real world ;) Battery Hill, the condo complex, is very well maintained and has some great ammenities as well. There is a pool with a gorgeous view of Cruz bay which we came back to every evening after the beach to have a cocktail and enjoy the sunset. There is also a grill if you decide to cook and stay in for dinner, beach chairs you can bring to the beach, and laundry on site. There is a parking spot for each unit in case you are planning to rent a car as well, which I highly recommend! Lastly, the location can't be beat! The condo is situated right above Cruz bay and all the shopping and restaurants. It is just a short walk down to town. You can either go down a large hill (where you end up by Woody's) or a couple smaller hills (where you end up by the Beach Bar). The walk back up can be a little challenging, but we decided it was our exercise for the week and managed to walk it every day and night! If you choose not to walk, it's only a $5 taxi ride per person which is definitely the most inexpensive ride from/into town. I would definitely recommend Panacea if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay close to all the action of Cruz bay! We will definitely be staying there again the next time we are on the island!
