About this villa rental

Villa Chez Shell is a two bedroom Pool Villa located near the Westin Resort in Great Cruz Bay and is just 5 minutes from downtown Cruz Bay.

Enjoy evening sunsets over Great Cruz Bay and the twinkling lights of St. Thomas once the sun has set for the evening.

The home has two Master Suites each with en-suite Master Baths with custom showers. The entire home has beautiful quarry stone floors imported from the Middle East.

The main entrance at Chez Shell is graced by Old Chicago Brick walkways and tropical gardens bordered with palm trees, fragrant frangipani flowers, tree orchids and other tropical foliage.

Once you step inside the front entry, the well-appointed great room opens up before you. A view of Great Cruz Bay and beyond soothe your senses. Proceed through the great room and enter the completely Screened Outdoor Living Area.

Beyond the Screened Outdoor Living Area is a Sun Deck with a table for outdoor dining and the view of Great Cruz Bay, the Sandy Beach and Swaying Palm Trees at the Westin Beach Resort.

The Screened in Porch area is a great spot to read a book or enjoy evening conversations over cocktails while the sun sets in the distance. Just off the kitchen/dining area you step out to the brand new 20 X 35 pool veranda featuring classic Old Chicago Brick Pavered sun deck and native stone walls overlooking Great Cruz Bay and St. Thomas Beyond.

Every room is appointed with plenty of windows to ensure that you enjoy both gorgeous ocean/harbor views and garden views regardless of where you rest.

Preparing meals in Chez Shell's well-equipped kitchen is a pleasure with plenty of lighting, great airflow and ample space to prepare your meals. Dine inside adjacent to the kitchen or outdoors on the Sun Deck. There is comfortable seating for six at the either of the indoor or outdoor dining tables with views of the Ocean/Harbor and the Island of St. Thomas.

It is a wonderful Villa for families with inside access to both of the Master Bedroom Suites directly from the Great Room. The Master Suites are air conditioned, one with garden views and one with views of Great Cruz Bay Harbor and the Ocean beyond.

Chez Shell also has multiple living spaces inside and out so you may enjoy the active harbor views and sunset views towards St Thomas from many different areas.

The decor is warm and inviting and in tune with Caribbean Style living. Most of the furnishings are from India, Bali, the Southwest United States which includes various antiques from around the world. Chez Shell was totally remodeled in 2007 by a talented builder out of New Mexico.

The house is just a short 5-minute walk to the beaches at Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole and a short drive to the famous North Shore Beaches.

If you enjoy colorful awesome sunsets over the water, a convenient location and a beautiful place to stay, you'll find your perfect vacation waiting at Chez Shell

We were quite pleased and impressed with Chez Shell. The pictures and descriptions were exactly as described. The location was perfect and the views were absolutely amazing. Communicating with the owners was also easy, especially with the hurricane that was approaching soon before our arrival date. We would stay at this VRBO again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!!!

The property is conveniently located near the car ferry and Cruz Bay. You definitely need a Jeep. The steep incline from the parking lot was a little precarious at night. Power outages at night were brutal, with still hot air. Do yourself a favor and read up on updates. We didn't think they would be overnight, but they were to no fault of anyone. We hope for the future of the island that it gets remedied quickly. House has all you need, but AC a must during June

Villa Chex Shell is the perfect spot for two couples. It's located a short drive from downtown on a secluded road overlooking Great Cruz Bay and the Westin. Perfect size for two couples, private pool with oversized patio and views forever. This is out second stay and the villa and won't be our last. Sheree is a great host and provides beach towels, chairs and a cooler for your day trips. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with the most incredible views. The house was well appointed with everything you need - including beach chairs and a cooler. Close to great restaurants in town while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Construction next door was a non-issue given all the greenery surrounding the house. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

House was very nice, and a great location. When we booked we noticed someone complained that owners lived onsite. I was a little concerned with this just because we like privacy. But I can confirm this is a complete non-issue. Their unit is below the main house. I’m pretty sure there is an entrance on the other side of the house they use that you almost can’t even tell is there. The pool and outdoor space is completely private, they can’t even see it from their unit since it’s below. They aren’t using the pool or anything while you are there. I only took off one star on the communication rating not because they didn’t communicate well but unless I missed something, email was the only way to communicate when on the island. My email didn’t load well so having a cell to text if there was something urgent would have been nice. But it wasn’t actually necessary. So not really a complaint just a suggestion! And I do understand if they don’t want to share their cell. I would recommend the house and go back for sure. There is a house being built next door. Someone mentioned that. While we did hear it a little. It was never really early or late. So unless you are just sitting at the house all day I can’t see it being a big deal. Who wants to sit at a house all day anyways when you are in St John?!
