About this apartment rental

Harborview is a 2 bedroom/2bathroom condo at battery hill, an intimate nine unit condominium complex nestled at the top of the hill overlooking Cruz Bay in town. This is a Caribbean gem, with an open living plan, fully equipped kitchen, and furnished in lovely, bright island decor, with a queen sized master bedroom and a queen size bed in the expensive loft bedroom.

Harbor View is located on the top floor of the two unit building, with its own separate entrance. The mahogany doors open to the fabulous 24 foot high tongue and groove, beamed ceilings. The jalousie windows and six Hunter fans circulate the tropical breezes and Trade Winds (air conditioning is available for the rare nights it is needed). The inviting great room is tastefully appointed with a comfortable couch, chairs and a flat screen television with cable TV. Off of the great room is a quaint covered balcony to take in the majestic views while basking in the cooling trade wind breezes.

There is a community gas BBQ grill available which is located near the pool deck. The community pool is located just steps from the front door. It features numerous lounge chairs available for sunbathing and other lounge chairs are located under a covered and shaded area, ideal for reading or lounging. Several tables and chairs complement the outer pool deck area. Beach chairs, cooler and beach towels are available to take on your visits to our many world class beaches.

This was our first ever trip to the VI, and My wife and 2 college aged daughters absolutely loved our stay at Harbor View! Well appointed as advertised : we used the beach chairs and yeti backpack cooler, and/or smaller, soft cooler everyday on our visits to the stunning beaches all over the island. At the end of our long beach days, we lounged in the lovely pool and deck area enjoying the great view of the harbor and town - as we did every morning and evening from our own little porch. A note : getting a large, packed, suitcase ( or 2 in our case ) up and down the spiral stair case to the loft room is, admittedly, a challenge. HOWEVER this is NOT IN ANY WAY A COMPLAINT. , as we knew the layout beforehand and expected it would be. We made it happen, just used proper caution ( if it’s too much for your party, you might want to shuttle your contents up there as needed, or some other solution). The loft room itself is quite roomy, well decorated and has its own bathroom. A 5 minute walk down the hill puts you in the heart or Cruz bay…another 5 minutes to Mongoose Junction. It’s a steeper , slower hike uphill back home, but we found it a good way to walk off dinner and/or a few drinks. Property caretaker, Tammy, was terrific about communication from Check-in through check out, and at any point in between. We are grateful to the owners for sharing their beautiful home on this beautiful island. We hope to be back one day.

In the twelve years of visiting STJ, this slice of heaven just became my forever favorite. The pictures can't do it justice. It's somehow spacious and cozy. Decor is tasteful and lovingly curated (per my designer sister), with little pieces and choices that let you know someone cares. Everything is bathed and gorgeous light during the day, without it getting hot. The layout is amazing! While the spiral stairs won't work for everyone, they are such a beautiful way to access the spacious loft. I was floored by the full bed and bathroom. Plus, the loft is bright with natural light, consistent with the rest of the space. It's not an attic. Beyond this, I love the dedicated areas for eating, relaxing, chatting, and taking in the morning sun and afternoon breezes. Additionally, guests seem to care --- no loud talking, music, or banging. I had the Carnival Festival village for all that goodness! Finally, I can't say enough about how charming and hepful Tammy the property manager is. She was available and always had answers, almost neighborly in her responsiveness. I'm a fan. This is a gem. Cheers to the owner!

We've stayed at Harbor View at Battery Hill multiple times and never been disappointed. Our visits are up to 3 weeks now and the host has always been great! The site manager keeps you informed and responds quickly also. The place has everything you need for comfort inside and for trips to the beaches, including coolers, chairs, and towels. Harbor View is out go to place on St John as we love the view of Cruz Bay and have easy access to town, shopping, and groceries. We will definitely stay here again! Mark & Kim J

This was a perfect location! The unit was well equipped with everything we needed. We were able to grill and cook in a few nights. The complex was quiet and very clean. We enjoyed sitting by the pool. We will be back!
