About this house rental
Summary:
Just a 5-minute drive from Cruz Bay, Pirates Villa offers a convenient yet serene retreat with spectacular views of Chocolate Hole Bay. This two-story town-house provides a spacious escape perfect for families or groups of friends.
This location is a true gem, with beach access just steps from your back porch. Enjoy morning walks to collect beautiful shells, take an evening dip, or spend the afternoon kayaking, paddle-boarding or snorkeling!
The Space:
Upon entering the villa, you'll find the majority of the home centrally located on the ground floor. To the right down the entry hallway is a King bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The heart of the home features an open floor plan with a well-appointed kitchen, a half bath, a dining area for 8, and a comfortable living room with an entertainment system. Ten-foot ceilings and large glass doors leading to the patio create an open and airy ambiance, perfect for cooking or relaxing. Enjoy the beach views and sounds from the back patio or take in the Caribbean scenery while dining.
As you head up the stairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms. The first features two queen beds, an en-suite bathroom, and a balcony with seating. Further down the hall, and slightly more private, is the Deluxe King Suite, which boasts a balcony with breathtaking ocean views. All bedrooms in the villa come equipped with smart TVs, ceiling fans, AC, and beautiful en-suite bathrooms.

Our accommodations were beautiful, spacious and close to town ( Cruz Bay). Many amenities including paddle boards and Kayaks.
Our host Brandon was exceptional! He gave many local dining and fun suggestions to make sure we had fun and plenty to do. Any questions we had were immediately answered and we all had a delightful time. We would certainly consider this location for our next stay on St. John.
5.0
This place honestly could not have been any better! The location was perfect! The overall condition of the place exceeded everyone's expectation. Our family of 4 had more than enough room and can accommodate many more. While there are so many wonderful beaches and places to enjoy in St. John (our first trip) we had a great time relaxing at Chocolate Hole Bay, kayaking and fishing - just steps away from the back door!! It was extremely easy to communicate with the property managers and they were very helpful with information before and during the stay. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!
4.0
We really liked this place a lot. It had everything that we needed. They kept it really clean and updated. We really enjoyed having ice chests, beach chairs, beach toys, etc. there was even a little hand-held vacuum that I used to vacuum up the sand out of the rental car!
The check in and out process was so great. The property management was very communicative and helpful (thank you Brandon).
We love having a washer and dryer when we go to beach locations to always have clean and dry towels at our disposal.
The only reasons we didn’t give this a 5 in every category is because the beds are well used and they bow and aren’t super comfortable. Even though it was really clean and we know that this is difficult to manage, there were still a couple cockroaches that we found inside and quite a few mosquitoes. Mosquitoes don’t bother me personally, but my wife and kids had quite a few bug bites. Lastly, there are power outages on the island and we’ve stayed in places with back up generators, which this place does not have.
Again, overall, this is a really great place. I do not want this to sound like a bad review bc that wasn’t our experience. It’s a really nice place. We felt comfortable and relaxed there. It had everything we needed, just thought I would add those other things bc it might be important to some people.

Three couples stayed for two weeks!
Kitchen was well stocked so we could cook when we wanted. Close to town and beaches.

Our stay with BookVI was absolutely amazing. The team we worked with has the best communication service you could ask for. The property was absolutely perfect and had all the amenities you need for the island. Highly recommend

Great new Condo with excellent amentities. Plenty of space. Everything you need is close by car or taxi. Cruz Bay is about "1 song away" by car. Quiet little Bay with very simple beach for a place to relax after a long day. Chairs, towels, and coolers provided are a bonus.

This property had everything we could have asked for and more! When we arrived, the property manager, Shauna, met us close to the ferry and led us to the property. She went over everything there was to know about staying at the Pirate Villa and more. She also let us know the best restaurants and beaches to visit during our week on St John. She was available to text with all week whenever we had questions or wanted her opinion. The owner made renting baby equipment and ordering food/beverages to be stocked at our Villa prior to our arrival a breeze. The property was less than a 10 minute drive to downtown, which was a major perk. The condo had plenty of towels, beach chairs, coolers, rafts, and life jackets. Every room had a beautiful en-suite bathroom and a large TV. The only thing the property was missing, which would have made it even better visit for the kids, was a pool; which will probably be finished next time we visit! Highly recommend this property!!

Spacious and clean condo, beautiful views, nice and quiet.
unfortunately the property is still under construction and the entrance is unsightly. We also couldn't figure out hoe to work the stove. a manual or instructions would help.
Overall a fantastic place to stay!

Beautiful new home!
We had a wonderful stay! The house was spacious, clean, and bright. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the proximity to town and beaches. Good communication with hosts who made arriving and departing very easy. While there was construction in the nearby houses, it didn't disrupt our stay. We'd stay again!

Emphasis on Hole
Booking was seamless and agents at Book VI were, without exception, highly responsive and helpful. Dabney, the property manager, was also pleasant, exceedingly helpful and easily reached when issues arose. In sum, the service was excellent. Regrettably, the property itself was the disappointment. The townhouse was nice, newly constructed, well appointed with luxurious bathrooms and beautiful tile floors. The master bedroom featured large glass doors which opened onto a pleasant balcony and a view of…a massive unsightly construction pit full of rubble and rimmed by battered pick-ups and a skid-steer. To be fair, a glimpse of the beach is visible beyond that and it is accessible by a short walk skirting aforementioned hole and thru an active construction site. The beach is fine though small and not comparable to the many other beautiful beaches for which the island is renowned. Another review has said that the nearby construction did not detract from their enjoyment of their stay here but waking up to construction din every morning and the decidedly un-scenic surroundings which were notably omitted from the listing left us feeling like we’d been had. Everyday we packed up the beach gear furnished by the property (a much appreciated amenity) and headed somewhere more idyllic. Happily, on St. John there are many such places so we weren’t forced to squander our precious vacation days in a generic suburban construction zone. Maybe once the community is completed it will be a pleasant place to stay.

Stunning Property in a Great Location!
We had the most amazing stay at Pirate’s Villa. We stayed for 10 nights. Brandon was great and the check in process was so easy! He gave great restaurant recommendations! The Villa is spotless clean, new/modern, well appointed and comfortable. Our family can’t wait to come back and relax here soon! — It’s a nice quiet location but close to Cruz Bay. 5 minutes from the grocery store and 15 to 20 minute drive to the north shore beaches!
5.0
It’s almost too good to be true…
Our stay at this villa was truly unforgettable. Working with the team at Book Vi was a delightful experience. We were greeted at the ferry by Someone from the Book Vi team who offered a friendly and warm welcome to the island. The villa itself literally has everything you’d need… ample stocked kitchen, nice linens, and high end touches all around the unit. While there was some construction activity, it in no way affected our stay. The private beach is not to be overlooked. Even though we traveled during a holiday week, it did not feel crowded at all. We were able to swim out and see sea turtles right from the beach.
We also were able to book a Jeep through Book Vi so it allowed us the freedom to easily get around the island and to the grocery store. Everything you need is less than 10 minutes away. You’re guaranteed a good time at this villa!
