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.

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!
