About this apartment rental

Tropical Breeze Villa is the largest unit at Battery Hill--an elegantly cozy 9-unit condominium complex on the crest of a hill overlooking Grande Bay and quaint Cruz Bay village. This comfortable unit boasts a spacious living area, a fully equipped kitchen, modern island decor, a queen sized master bedroom and a pair of beds (one queen and one twin *queen added since photos*) in the large loft bedroom. Visually, the exposed beams and rustic cedar plank cathedral ceiling invoke images of a Vermont barn. Five ceiling fans spaced throughout the unit supplement the nearly constant natural breezes. For added comfort, there are three split unit air conditioners spaced throughout the unit.

Tropical Breeze stands out as one of only three 2 bedroom/2 bath rental units at Battery Hill. In 2022, the complex upgraded to a UV water filtration system so water in the unit is drinkable.

Tropical Breeze is on the top (3rd) floor of the outermost building; as a result, it offers incredible unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and inland St. John. On clear days, St. Croix--nearly 40 miles distant--may be seen on the southern horizon.

Battery Hill’s pool deck is a great spot to enjoy cocktails while grilling a burger or some fresh local fish on the nearby Weber grill. After a refreshing dip in the pool, you’ll find the Tropical Breeze balcony deck an irresistible spot for alfresco dining, capturing a sunset, watching the moon rise, or gazing at the stars. The views are magical.

As a guest at Battery Hill, you will enjoy luxurious 'home away from home' accommodations and conveniences such as cable TV and WiFi service, as well as a Chromecast for you to cast all of your favorite content. Our on-island manager will assure that your arrival/check-in goes smoothly and is always available for your special needs.

Locating a parking spot in downtown Cruz Bay can present the ultimate challenge. Our near-town location means that when you feel it’s time to grab a beer or tropical drink at one of the popular pubs, or enjoy a sumptuous meal at one of Cruz Bay’s many world-class restaurants, or, perhaps, just do a bit of shopping, it will all be within easy walking distance. At Battery Hill, renting a vehicle is an option, not a necessity. If you do choose to rent a vehicle, rest assured that Battery Hill, unlike some other properties, offers ample off-street parking.

And, as you evaluate the various accommodations available to you, keep in mind that, as described earlier, we "overlook" Grande Bay. We are literally next door neighbors, but situated higher on the hillside. The Tropical Breeze deck, being about 4 stories above the Grande Bay roof line, offers unobstructed views.

The nearest beach, at Frank Bay, can be reached in five minutes by foot. Taxi service to the National Park’s spectacular north shore beaches is both readily available and inexpensive.

All you need to do is kick back and enjoy!!

A word of caution: if you see Tropical Breeze being offered for rent on Craig's List at rates way below those published here, it's a scam. Don't fall for it; we do not advertise there.

A hallmark of a great VRBO experience is the responsiveness when things don’t go as planned. Our manager went above and beyond to address issues. I highly rate this property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tropical Breeze and will definitely be back again! It was very clean, well stocked and had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. It's very close to Cruz Bay and the beaches (we walked everywhere) so it's in a perfect location. The Property Manager was great to work with and was extremely helpful and responsive!

This property was exactly as it is described. Walking distance to Cruz Bay up and down a very steep hill, but there are two options for how to walk and a guaranteed parking spot if you are renting a vehicle. The view of Cruz Bay from the balcony is amazing. Everything in the apartment is well-taken care of. We definitely appreciated the new AC units that happened to be installed right before our visit. The manager Tammy made the check-in and check-out process very easy, we felt very welcomed. I think we could have used more beach towels, but it also rained a lot during our stay. We would be happy to stay here agian for our next visit to St. John.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The pool was fabulous, it was nice to have access to laundry facilities, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the views from the deck were wonderful. The T.V. was not working really well, but who needs T.V. when you have the views, pool, close access to restaurants and shops, beaches, and hiking trails to enjoy!
