About this apartment rental

Welcome to Palm Breeze Villa! This penthouse sits at the top of Battery Hill providing 360 degree views of the ocean and lush green hillsides. The covered deck provides much needed shade and beautiful ocean views of Cruz Bay. You can marvel at the multiple shades of the crystal clear blue water as you enjoy a morning cup of coffee or cocktail at sunset. You will be right in town so can easily walk to all your favorite restaurants and shops. Because this top floor unit is in a stand alone building you will not have any shared walls- extremely unique within Cruz Bay.

The main bedroom faces Cruz Bay and has marvelous ocean views. The spacious loft has room for four guests, with two twin beds and one queen bed. There are AC units located in both bedroom spaces as well as the main living space, though with the continuous breeze high on Battery Hill you will likely only need to open the windows in the evening to keep cool.

The well appointed kitchen is open to the dining and living areas and have striking ocean views looking towards Turner Bay and beyond. These main living spaces have beautiful vaulted ceilings making it feel spacious, open, and bright.

Although you can manage without a vehicle on St John by taking taxis to the many spectacular beaches and walking to town, we would still recommend renting a vehicle to get the most out of your vacation. There is flat parking for the unit right out front in a dedicated lot. The complex also has a dipping pool the has both a covered area and pool deck for sunning all with ocean views. Beach chairs and other beach and pool accessories are provided for the guests.

Come enjoy our penthouse villa!!

We enjoyed everything about Palm Breeze! The views were amazing, walking distance to the shops, bars, and car rental. Our greeter at check-in was wonderful as well - very informative! The set-up of the condo was perfect for our family of 5. The loft had 3 beds, one for each teenager, with a "master" bed on the main level. The condo is also well stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs and towels. All we bought was a few groceries to get us thru the week. Our Jeep rental was a blast getting around the island. And the beaches are the best I've ever been to. Would definitely recommend and stay in again!

This was my first Vrbo experience and it was wonderful. The management company was helpful, prompt and friendly. Last min we decided to get a rental car however everywhere was sold out. I called the office and she helped call around and found us a rental. I appreciated that so much. The host was also amazing and helpful. Place was clean and had beautiful views. I will stay again.

The condo was clean with a great view and well-stocked kitchen. The view was amazing. The pool was small but pretty. We had a greeter meet us so we could follow her to the condo and she could show us everything we might need. Lots of restaurants with walking distance, but like others have said, the walk back up the hill, especially on a really humid day, will let you work off your meal! You will probably want to rent a Jeep so you can stock up on water and non-perishables. Our visit unfortunately coincided with damage to the only remaining power cable from St Thomas to St John, so we were without power (and also water) for almost a full day and then we had rolling blackouts for the rest of our trip (power was on for 2 hours and off for 2 hours). We fortunately had gotten bottled water and peanut butter and bread the day before the power went out, and I highly recommend that people traveling to St John make sure to get water and food that doesn’t need to be heated or kept cold just in case you find yourself in a similar situation. Obviously this is not something related to the condo itself, but we had no idea before we traveled to St John that the power and water system was so fragile. So, rent a Jeep so you can more easily stock up on groceries, enjoy walking to the restaurants and shopping when you can, and enjoy the beaches (which you will probably also appreciate having a Jeep for). Overall, we recommend this property and would stay again.

This place is fabulous! We've stayed in St. John several times, and the location of this condo is one of the best. The view overlooking Cruz Bay, the quick walk it offered into town, the relaxing pool just below...it really can't be beat. A/C works great, but we only really needed it at night because with all of the windows and being at the top of the ridge, we were able to open up the windows and get fantastic ocean breezes crossing through the unit. There is plenty of parking, beach chairs for guest use, community grill and laundry if needed. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. If you are considering this place, just book it already :) We will be back!

We loved this place and would stay here again. It was so nice to be able to walk into town, sure there are hills but it wasnt a big deal. Awesome views!

This condo is wonderful! It has million dollar views and the live music from the Beach Bar drifts up when on the balcony. Allison, the owner, has made lovely updates and plans more. And a fabulous new piece of art was installed during our stay. We were so enchanted that we’ve already booked for three weeks next year! Thanks, Allison!
