About this villa rental
Blue Dolphin, formerly "The Boat House" on Great Cruz bay road is a newly rebuilt 4 bedroom home. The house has been remodeled and rebuilt and is a charming mix of the old stonework associated with the Caribbean and modern design with glass railings and a new pool. The first thing you notice at when arriving to the house is the lush landscaping and outdoor gazebo in the garden. Whether you are a nature lover or just escaping to do some reading you'll love this outdoor seating area.
You enter the house into the living room and notice the open floor plan into the dining and kitchen area and extra seating areas.
All 4 bedrooms are on the main level and all can be accessed under one roof. The bedrooms are spacious have queen beds and are elegantly furnished.
My favorite part of Blue Dolphin is the large deck on the west side of the house that has glass railing to maximize the views. It has 2 large covered areas for lounging or eating at the outside dining area. The new gas grill is ready for you! It has a very large open area for sunbathing and watching the sunset next to the pool as well.
The indoor dining area is right off the kitchen and the two family room areas. The indoor and outdoor areas mesh well together and whether you are inside in the air conditioning or outside on the deck, you will still feel very together.
The kitchen has been updated to include a beautiful Wolf stove where you may not only cook your favorite meals but also grill your favorite steaks or seafood. A gorgeous island has been included with granite counter top and seating. Also , included in the kitchen is a large ice maker next to the sink along with a pantry area that houses spices, coffee, an expresso machine and blender.
The entire house has mini split air conditioning that will keep everyone comfortable while hanging around the house.

Highly recommend!! Also in great area of Cruz Bay. Owners and house manager super helpful!

House was absolutely perfect!!

Stayed here for a week in May for a family get away. The house is gorgeous with plenty of room inside and out. We found the kitchen to be very adequate for cooking meals and the ice maker was a great bonus. The property manager JP was quick to get us checked in and to respond to any inquiries. The sunsets are amazing especially while floating in the infinity pool. The location is close to cruise bay but not walking distance. We rented a jeep for the week as we wanted to explore the entire island. We will be sure to book this home again next time we are in St. John!

Our family of 5 came for spring break and had an amazing time!! The house was great and was absolutely as advertised. Close enough to town to be easily accessed but just far enough away to be quiet in the evenings.
Would absolutely recommend.

The house has a beautiful view and gorgeous deck with Infinity pool. The four bedrooms had comfortable beds and dressers.
One thing I wasn’t prepared for was the absence of closets in bedrooms (or anywhere). When staying for a week, we have a fair amount of clothes to hang up, so the cute hooks on the walls weren’t sufficient. Other than that, beautiful house!

This is our second visit to St. John and love the island vibe. The villa is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor patio/pool/view is stunning and the pool is warm! The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed. The extra ice machine was a bonus! The villa was so comfortable and nice option to have A/C available throughout entire villa vs just bedrooms. Nice touches throughout and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Blue Dolphin Villa!

We will never forget our 1st vacation to St. John and our stay at the Blue Dolphin. This home was perfect for our family. We spent many hours swimming in the pool and enjoying the spectacular views and sunsets over Cruz Bay. The use of their beach chairs, snorkeling gear and coolers were an added bonus. As was the ice machine in the kitchen! Brian and Callie are gracious hosts and incredibly responsive. JP (the property manager) gave us amazing recommendations. We are already dreaming of our next trip back!

Blue Dolphin Villa was superb in every aspect! Clean, well-furnished, beautiful grounds and the WOW infinity pool overlooking Great Cruz Bay! Loved the old decor mixed in with the new design! The kitchen was well stocked with whatever would be needed to cook a gourmet meal including a variety of cookware and two stove tops! The ice machine was a surprise bonus and was greatly appreciated! Three bathrooms with showers were more than adequate for our group. The property is very easy to get to and although we had a jeep we frequently used Kedija Prentice taxi and she was very dependable. JP, the villa manager, and owners were quick to respond with whatever questions we had- in short they were great hosts! We will definitely stay here again!

The property was perfect for our girls trip. We loved the pool and it’s surroundings.

The pool was great. The whole house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The only issue was the water pressure was really slow. Might just be an island thing but could only take one shower at a time.
4.9
We had a wonderful family vacation at the Blue Dolphin. The house was spacious with a fantastic view and location, in the hills above the Westin. The patio, pool and cabana area and outside dining made for relaxing afternoons/evenings after the beach. JP was also a great property manager, responsive and helpful to us as we navigated our first visit to St. John. We hope to come back!

The Blue Dolphin is just a beautiful home with spectacular views and great location. I have stayed in St John and Chocolate Hole before but this was the house that had everything down to every little detail. The pool deck was perfect after the beach and happy hour everyday with beautiful views of St Thomas and Great Cruz Bay. Property mgr was easy and helpful with great communication. Well done Blue Dolphin team you do it right from owners, prop mgr, cleaning people just a very well run home and it was very much appreciated!
Run don’t walk to this gem on St John!

My wife and I have been travelling together to St. John since the early 1990s, she even longer than that. Each time we stay, we try a different property. We both agreed that the Blue Dolphin was either the best or second best property we have stayed at in all our years. You are only minutes from town, an amazing view (we even got to see a Space X launch from the back patio one evening), plenty of interior space, a navigable driveway (which isn't always the case on St. John), an great kitchen, beautifully decorated home, and a wonderful pool. We do not hesitate giving this villa five stars.

We had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed the property. Greatly appreciated the recommendations beforehand on restaurants and rental car.

Great stay. Home was convenient to town. A car is needed to travel to the beaches or dining out. Home had good parking for two vehicles. Great pool and view from deck.

This was a great property, just as advertised! The views were spectacular. The kitchen was roomy and had all the necessities. The property manager made check-in a breeze and was responsive.
Check out the Iguana's in the trees, they were fun to watch. They come out to eat around 3:30 or 4:00!
Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others!

Beautiful property. Very well equipped kitchen. Conveniently located. Property manager was very responsive.

The location was perfect. We used 3 of 4 bedrooms. There was 3 bathrooms. More than adequate. Outside patio gets used a lot. Pool is awesome. Very safe. Kitchen has everything you need. The host was always available. Checked in on us once. Would definitely stay again. You will need a car in my opinion. We rented on St Thomas w Amalie car Rental. 👍👍 There are tons of restaurants, hiking trails, and beaches. They have everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the property. Great accommodations just as the property description states. The pool and patio area is where we enjoyed most of our time! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your property. We would definitely rent it again on our next trip to St John!

We had a wonderful week in St. John at the Blue Dolphin. The house is in close proximity to the Car Ferry, Grocery Stores, Town and quick drive to beautiful beaches. The property manager was quick to respond, extremely accommodating and helpful during our stay. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking meals at home easy. Our favorite part of the house was waking up and having coffee on the patio and finishing the day in the pool. The views of the bay are breathtaking anytime of the day... be sure to check out the stunning sunset. We look forward to visiting again!

We recently stayed at Blue Dolphin Villa and had a wonderful experience. The house was spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The views from the balcony were breathtaking, and we enjoyed spending time outside in the pool and lounging chairs.
The location was perfect for exploring the island, as it was close to several beautiful beaches. We also appreciated the tips and recommendations provided by the host.
Overall, I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in St. John, VI.

Beautiful home clean and spacious. Immediately relaxed stepping onto the patio and enjoying morning coffee and evening cocktails with the sunsetting over St. Thomas.
Property manager was very helpful and left us a nice deli basket to enjoy by the patio. Easy to get into Cruz Bay.
We hope to be back soon!

The communication with anyone involved with the property was immediate and so helpful. The manager even checked on a broken purse I forgot to toss out, asking if he needed to mail it back! Amazing people and a spectacular house!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Blue Dolphin. The back patio with pool were stunning at sunset. The kitchen was also noteworthy. We would definitely stay here again.

The Blue Dolphin property was great! The view of Great Cruz Bay from the deck was spectacular and we enjoyed swimming in the beautiful pool. The kitchen was large and well appointed. Loved the extra ice maker! We cooked several dinners and grilled outside. Nice living room and bar area, too!
4 bedrooms and 3 full baths were perfect for our family. The property manager was very attentive and gave great tips for local restaurants and beaches, etc.

Amazing property with amenities galore. Easy check-in and close to town. We had an amazing time!

This house was truly incredible. You would be hard-pressed to find a nicer house for the price on the island. The location is so convenient to restaurants, the ferry dock, grocery stores, shops, and many beaches. The house itself is gorgeous. The kitchen is super nice with top-end appliances and all the tools needed to make anything. We only had 2 issues- the internet/ tv stopped working after the first day (tv really never worked) and that was never resolved. Internet would have been nice- kids wanted tv at night to watch football or the world cup but overall it wasn't a huge deal since we didn't spend our days at the house. The hot water also was unreliable. The person handling the house while we were there (not the normal house managers) came to fix it and it worked for a few hours before going out again. Eventually, we got him to tell us how to fix it (where to flip the breaker) and we were able to have hot water for the rest of the trip. Despite these 2 hiccups, we would stay here again in a second and we have already recommended the house to friends. I will add- the A/C in this house is amazing! We have stayed places on the island where that wasn't true- if anything we kept turning it up (warmer) because it worked so well.

We absolutely LOVED the view from this house!!! It was amazing. The house has been newly remodeled. The kitchen is to die for. The table!!! Y’all the table was stunning. I need one at my house. They had beach chairs for everyone. That was a plus for sure . Will defiantly be visiting again. Thank You for sharing this BEAUTIFUL piece of paradise with the Parris family!

The view was enough but the house was amazing too. We were picked up from the ferry and taken to the property (I had no idea that was included) and someone met us when we arrived to walk through the property. We also had a nice care package waiting in the frig from the local deli. The only complaint was the bathroom sinks shoots out water when you turn it on but that is minor. Just be careful or you may get wet! The washing machine did not work but the PM did our laundry very timely so it was kind of nice having your laundry done. Overall would highly recommend it.

We had a great stay at this beautiful house. Views were incredible and the house was perfect. Very responsive manager that made our time there effortless.

Amazing stay in St John
We had a group of 7 and had an amazing stay at your home. The house was beautiful, comfortable and well equipped with beach chairs for everyone and an ice chest we could take to the beach also.
It was a short drive to town and many beautiful beaches. There was a corn hole game that we enjoyed and the pool was put to great use everyday. Lots of comfortable outdoor seating for everyone also.
One suggestion I would make is some outdoor umbrellas as it does get very hot during most of the day and there isn’t much shade. The pool and views were amazing and we spent all our evenings out there! Thank you for allowing us to use your place! We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!

We just had a great stay a the Blue Dolphin. We were two families with young kids and the layout was perfect. Minimal stairs and enough privacy for two families. The house had everything we needed plus more. The outdoor space was amazing and used the majority of the time. Such a gem in a great area!
