Get close to St. John’s abundant natural beauty with this secluded and affordable island home. Just a few minutes’ drive from Cruz Bay, HAIKU is the first architect-designed, traditional Caribbean-style house built on the island. Designed in native West Indian style influenced by the Danish great-houses, Haiku is built on one floor at ground level; it is safe for children and is wheelchair accessible. Entry is through a garden gate beyond which is a covered, open-air living/dining room pavilion made from hand-laid stone. Island trade winds keep you cool while lounging in the living room, eating at the dining room table, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the adjoining tiled patio. A garden of native flowers and trees provide shade and quiet not just for you, but for island birds and animals as well. While cooling off in the patio swimming pool (about 19' x 9' x max. 4.5' depth), you might spot one of the resident iguanas feeding on the garden flowers.

The two Master bedrooms are air-conditioned, have separate bathrooms, and are separated by the living/dining room, allowing for privacy for two couples. A third air-conditioned bedroom is adjacent to the Master suite, shares the master bathroom, is and perfect for another couple or children. Plus, there is an outdoor shower to wash off all the sand you’ve accumulated from enjoying St. John’s phenomenal beaches.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, microwave, countertop toaster/oven, blender for cocktails, refrigerator, and plenty of cupboard and counter space. China, glasses, silverware, cooking vessels, and utensils are provided as well as place mats, dish towels, a gas barbecue grill, and other amenities to make cooking easy and fun. A washing machine, dryer, and clothesline are located behind the kitchen. Haiku also provides WiFi, a UV & Filter Water Treatment System, and a propane Backup Generator in case of island power outages. The driveway can easily accommodate three vehicles, so invite new friends over for drinks after dark while marveling at the luminous night sky.

Very relaxing area, and fairly easy to get to if you know the island. Close to the grocery stores. Had some challenges with meeting up with our greeters, but our flights were delayed. House is very open air, the details say bedrooms are air-conditioned, but there are no windows, just screens and a curtain in one room. But the in room air-conditioning did cool it down quickly at night. The others have wooden crank shutters. I would call it more like" Glamping". But we adapted and welcomed the lizards for morning coffee and accepted that you will be showering with the small friends and spiders. Some of the pool chairs are showing serious sun damage and we couldn't use them. There are other obvious signs of wear in several areas. I've stayed on the island the last 4 years at different places, and for the conditions it's priced a bit high, in my opinion. But you can't beat the privacy and having a pool to yourself.

Haiku’s property was private and comfortable. The common living area had an open island feel; complete with a pool, jacuzzi, and lush gardens throughout. I felt safe in the quiet neighborhood. We took after-dinner walks to watch the sunset. We met some of the friendly neighbors along the way. There is a locked entrance gate, as well as locked kitchen and air conditioned bedroom areas. Speaking of the kitchen, it was well equipped with everything you need for cooking and eating in. We utilized the grill as well. There were food markets nearby; not walking distance however. The washer and dryer were nice to have as well, although we didn’t need it. We overpacked. All we needed was a few bathing suits, a bathing suit cover, and a few shorts and t-shirts, if that. They also provided beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels for our beach outings. My husband and I, as well as his sister and her significant other had a wonderful time and are looking forward to booking another vacation at Haiku next year!

Haiku is the perfect place to spend a week in beautiful St. John. The view is amazing, the landscaping is wonderful. The house is very well stocked and with that gorgeous view of Chocolate Hole, we ended up eating dinner at Haiku 6 of the 7 nights we were there! The open air floor plan in the living/dining area and the multiple seating areas around the pool give you plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the break from winter at home. We enjoyed every minute at Haiku and hope to return there in the future

My family, including 2 kids (7 & 9), just stayed for 5 nights as our fall break trip. The house was great for our stay. The open concept made relaxing at the house still feel like a relaxing island vacation. The pool is small, but served our needs well and was used every day. The location was nice - easy to find and not far from town and shopping.

This house is very well equipped. Beach towels,chairs,coolers all ready for the beach. AC in bedrooms was nice touch. The open air living space is amazing. Might need spray since all the rain they are having a field day. Thermo cell units would be a plus. Didn’t use the hot tub but pool every day.
