New Listing! Blue Dolphin Villa in Great Cruz bay!
Blue Dolphin, formerly "The Boat House" on Great Cruz bay road is a newly rebuilt 4 bedroom home. The house has been remodeled and rebuilt and is a charming mix of the old stonework associated with the Caribbean and modern design with glass railings and a new pool. The first thing you notice at when arriving to the house is the lush landscaping and outdoor gazebo in the garden. Whether you are a nature lover or just escaping to do some reading you'll love this outdoor seating area.
You enter the house into the living room and notice the open floor plan into the dining and kitchen area and extra seating areas.
All 4 bedrooms are on the main level and all can be accessed under one roof. The bedrooms are spacious have queen beds and are elegantly furnished.
My favorite part of Blue Dolphin is the large deck on the west side of the house that has glass railing to maximize the views. It has 2 large covered areas for lounging or eating at the outside dining area. The new gas grill is ready for you! It has a very large open area for sunbathing and watching the sunset next to the pool as well.
The indoor dining area is right off the kitchen and the two family room areas. The indoor and outdoor areas mesh well together and whether you are inside in the air conditioning or outside on the deck, you will still feel very together.
The kitchen has been updated to include a beautiful Wolf stove where you may not only cook your favorite meals but also grill your favorite steaks or seafood. A gorgeous island has been included with granite counter top and seating. Also , included in the kitchen is a large ice maker next to the sink along with a pantry area that houses spices, coffee, an expresso machine and blender.
The entire house has mini split air conditioning that will keep everyone comfortable while hanging around the house.

We had an amazing stay at the dolphin villa! Dwight the property manager was extremely helpful and attentive. The location of the house was perfect, just about 10 mins to downtown. The pool/back patio was our favorite part of the stay!
Amazing home with an amazing view and location. So close to Cruz Bay and easy access to Windmill and other less visited spots. Property manger was responsive and welcoming. Home has picturesque sunset views with a perfect poolAnd enormous veranda. Kitchen is huge and easy to cook meals each night. It’s a home run.
We stayed here for a spring break get away. We were very pleased with the house. The location is perfect for it's proximity to Cruz Bay and the norther beaches. Everything looked like it did in the listing. Dwight, the property manager,was there to greet us upon arrival and show us around the house. Through out the week he checked in, and gave us updates on the power outages the island was experiencing which was very helpful. The house was well stocked, had an icemaker, AND a flat driveway. If you have been to St. John before you know what I am talking about. We would definitely stay at the Blue Dolphin again.
We had a great stay in February 2025. The patio and pool looking over Great Cruz bay and out towards St. Thomas was fantastic. Beautiful sunsets every day! The house layout was great for us. 4 bedrooms on the main level and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were nicely stocked. My only advice point would be use bug spray! This is more of an environmental thing than about this villa but our family did struggle a lot with no-see-um bites. But we were outside and at the beaches nearly every day. So book this place and don’t forget to use your reef safe sunscreen and bug spray!
The Blue Dolphin was even better than the listing. Beautiful home, filled with everything we needed, from cozy beds to bath and beach towels, chairs, coolers, tvs, air conditioning, etc
Highly recommend!! Also in great area of Cruz Bay. Owners and house manager super helpful!
Great stay. Home was convenient to town. A car is needed to travel to the beaches or dining out. Home had good parking for two vehicles. Great pool and view from deck.
We had the best stay at Blue Dolphin Villa! We have already recommended it to friends and family! The home was just as the listing stated. The owners were easy to communicate with as well as the property manager. Amazing views!! Absolutely loved this house!
We had 2 couples to enjoy the Blue Dolphin for 5 nights. The property manager, JP, was very accomodating and helpful when one of our couples had a travel delay. JP was a gracious host that made us feel at home immediately. The house is wonderful and the infinity edge pool is perfect. Grill worked well and the kitchen is well stocked. AC worked well and the drive to the house is easy compared to many on St. John! Easy access to the Westin where a number of boat charters operate out of. Would book here again in a heartbeat.
My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Blue Dolphin. The back patio with pool were stunning at sunset. The kitchen was also noteworthy. We would definitely stay here again.
We have been to St. Thomas a few times now. We really enjoyed our stay. The location provided easy access to everything we wanted. The views were spectacular and the home was very comfortable.
Our family of 5 came for spring break and had an amazing time!! The house was great and was absolutely as advertised. Close enough to town to be easily accessed but just far enough away to be quiet in the evenings.
Would absolutely recommend.
We had a fantastic stay in St. John at The Blue Dolphin. We were celebrating milestone birthdays for my 40-year old son and 70- year old husband. We had eight in our party. The villa was very accommodating with plenty of outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the fantastic views. The pool was a big hit with the grandchildren. The villa was exceptionally well stocked with plenty of spices for cooking and all paper products were supplied, and ample toiletries and laundry products. Groceries are very expensive on St. John so beware of that. The only negative I can say about the villa is that there are no closets in the bedrooms but there are plenty of hooks for hanging dresses, and ample dresser drawer space for folded clothes. The property manager was amazing and most kind. He arranged to meet us in town and escorted us to the property and explained all the nuances of the house. All in all, I’d highly recommend renting this lovely villa for a great family getaway .
We had a wonderful family vacation at the Blue Dolphin. The house was spacious with a fantastic view and location, in the hills above the Westin. The patio, pool and cabana area and outside dining made for relaxing afternoons/evenings after the beach. JP was also a great property manager, responsive and helpful to us as we navigated our first visit to St. John. We hope to come back!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the property. Great accommodations just as the property description states. The pool and patio area is where we enjoyed most of our time! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your property. We would definitely rent it again on our next trip to St John!
The pool was great. The whole house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The only issue was the water pressure was really slow. Might just be an island thing but could only take one shower at a time.
This was a great property, just as advertised! The views were spectacular. The kitchen was roomy and had all the necessities. The property manager made check-in a breeze and was responsive.
Check out the Iguana's in the trees, they were fun to watch. They come out to eat around 3:30 or 4:00!
Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others!
