About this villa rental

Five minutes from the bustling center of Cruz Bay, you will find a secluded, landscaped retreat in Contant Farm called Argonauta. With 5 spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, you will wake up each morning to spectacular ocean views.
Have your coffee on the wrap around deck, sporting a 270 degree panorama of the Caribbean Sea. Then head to St John's famous North Shore beaches, just 15 minutes away. Finish the day playing in Argonauta's plunge pool or having a fun cocktail at the fully equipped pool bar. As the day ends, head to the hot tub to soak and watch the glorious Argonauta sunsets. When you are ready for dinner, make use of a well-equipped full chef's kitchen or head down to Cruz Bay. Despite Argonauta's privacy, you're just a short drive from the town center.
Argonauta has two king dbedroom suites in the main house. The lower main house bedroom is large enough to accommodate an additional crib or air mattress for littler guests. Its bathroom has a full outdoor shower enclosed in a screened stone grotto. The upper main house bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase and has its own bathroom with shower. In addition to the bedroom, it has an office nook with a mahogany desk facing the sea.
Two more king bedrooms are found in the adjacent guest house, each with magnificent views, stone showers and hammocks to soothe your soul. The fifth king bedroom with en suite bathroom is tucked away off the pool deck and contains a LifeFitness Elliptical trainer and desk.
As for dining al fresco, there is a wrap -around deck on the west side of the main house. It's a great spot for dining and viewing sunsets, or watching ships large and small glide towards St Thomas and its glittering lights in the distance.
Argonauta should be called Argonauta 2.0. It suffered massive damage from the 2017 hurricanes, and has been completely rebuilt by master builder Jonathan Doran. All its decks, fixtures and amenities are new and state of the art, from a new chef's kitchen with wine refrigerator, all new Mitsubishi air-conditioners throughout, to a completely rebuilt pool deck, with bar, pool and hot tub. For entertainment, if you wish to take a break from star gazing to stream a movie, a professional grade internet system reaches every room in the house as well as the decks. Or everyone can gather in the Great Room and watch together on the 50 inch smart TV.
Happily, one thing has not changed. The view, enjoyed by so many guests over the years, could not be destroyed by the storms, and remains as breathtaking as ever.

The price is based on the number of people who occupy the property. Nightly rate is based on a 1-4 occupancy. Maximum 10 guests. Each additional guest above 4 is charged a per person per nights fee. Please enter the correct TOTAL number of guests including children when booking the property. Only paying guests are allowed on the property.

We just returned home after staying at Argonauta for a week. My fiancé, my adult children and I usually stay at Grande Bay for a week every August. This year my sister-in-law and husband decided to join us so we needed a bigger place. Argonauta did not disappoint! The views from the property were amazing and every evening we anxiously awaited the sunset so we could get beautiful photos. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We cooked a couple of nights instead of going out and enjoyed the view while we ate dinner. The beds were extremely comfortable as was the air condition in all parts of the house. The house is also equipped with plenty of beach chairs, beach towels and a couple of coolers. While we really like the convenience of Grande Bay and being able to walk to town, this was a nice change and just a short drive to the grocery and dinner in Cruz Bay. I would definitely consider staying here again!

Amazing views, AC worked well, clean villa, well stocked kitchen, had great beach chairs and coolers to use for beaches, nice beach towels They had a nice basket of local dips as a welcome basket. Would have been nice for them to have coffee provided at least for the first morning. Only negative is a lot of mosquitoes but a small sacrifice for such an amazing island and beautiful home. Thank you for letting us stay😎

Our group of 9 had a wonderful stay over the Thanksgiving holiday. There was plenty of room for all of us- grandchildren, parents, uncle, and grandparents. We had space to gather and spend time together, and space to have quiet time after days at the beach. The road and driveway are tricky to navigate, but that seems to be common on St John. The hot tub wasn’t working during our stay, but everything else was perfect!

This was our second stay at Argonauta. The view, as well as the privacy is exceptional. I would highly recommend renting a vehicle while staying at this property as it is up a very steep hill at the end of a long, private drive. We had one minor issue with a non-working electrical outlet that the management company resolved within the hour. The management company was equally efficient when we notified them that there was not a blender on site and they delivered one to us with the hour. Other than a missing blender the kitchen is well appointed and there was a nice welcome basket upon our arrival containing a variety of cold salads. It would be nice if the unit included coffee and sugar, at least to have for the first morning or two, if one cannot get to the market right away. It did seem that some of the bed linens and towels were showing a lot of wear and could use replacing. The living room sofa is also showing some wear and was not overly comfortable. The ice maker didn't work and I recall the same issue on our last visit, but there were ice trays provided. Overall a very nice place to stay and we would stay again.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Argonauta. The views are wonderful and the house was well thought out and decorated and had an amazingly equipped kitchen (the private chef loved that too). TS Earl kept us home a day or so and the property really made that fun. We've stayed in the Contant area several times so we always like the proximity to Cruz Bay. Already looking forward to a return visit.

What a great property in Cruz Bay in St. John. Easy to get to and very secure. This would be great for several families to share as well. The management was extremely responsive when a break blew and fixed it immediately. The view was spectacular. If you have an opportunity to be her over July 4th, the fireworks from our balcony were amazing. We will be back!

Perfect place to stay!!

The house was absolutely perfect, with a balcony overlooking the ferries at Cruz Bay. The pool and hot tub also overlooked the water, which was a great place to just hang out and relax. The house had great amenities, appliances, and almost everything you would need. Even better, there are multiple grocery stores within 5-10 minutes. The property manager JP was fantastic!! He was very responsive, friendly, and eager to help in any way he could. We can’t thank JP and the rest of the management company for such an amazing stay and hope to rent with them in the future!

Perfect St John Villa

Perfect St John Villa

This was a last minute booking as we arrived in St Thomas on Saturday to find the sailboat we had chartered was not acceptable. We booked this villa online Saturday night and were immediately contacted by the host. We arranged to check in on Sunday. JP texted us on Sunday morning and was extremely accommodating and understanding about a meeting time as we were still trying to get the sailboat stuff handled. Once we were finally able to head to St John, we met JP at the car ferry dock and he took us to the property and gave us a tour. He also gave us some local recommendations on excursions. He was very helpful throughout our stay. The villa was breathtaking and everything we could have hoped for. It definitely turned our initially disappointing trip around. Our only complaint is that the calendar for this property is already booked up well into next summer. We would love to come back for the holidays. Definitely recommend this home and James Miller Property Management.

Had the best time staying at this property!! We have been to St. John’s before but I would absolutely stay at this home again. Property manager met with us day that we arrived and took us to the home, showed us everything and even checked in with us during our stay to make sure our needs were met. Views were amazing and house was stocked with cooking necessities. Would highly recommend!

Perfect home. The photos don’t do the views justice! I seriously can’t imagine better views anywhere. The home is set up perfectly for a big group. We all had our space but also had great areas to all gather! They met us as the pier for check in, gave us a gift basket, and always responded quickly to any questions. The home has everything you need - including beach chairs, towels and coolers. And it’s a 5 minute drive to Cruz Bay!!

Spectacular property in short driving distance to Cruz Bay. The layout of the property offered privacy for each couple, but also had central areas for gathering at the pool, balcony, or living room. Each bedroom had a separate bathroom, which was perfect for our group. Lovely views and the sunsets are amazing. The property manager was very responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Great week at Argonauta! Beautiful property in a great location—really close to the biggest grocery store on the island. And literally only 10 minutes at the most to Honeymoon Beach On the nights we ate at the villa, we had our dinner outside on the terrace, facing St. Thomas and the surrounding islands and cays. The views at this villa are hard to beat. The property is as pictured online, if not better, and the villa is very secure and in a gated area. The hot tub was a huge hit with my family, and again, the views were just almost otherworldly. We hope to return someday to this vila!
