About this property

Serve Up Relaxation: Tennis Villa with Pool, A/C, Tennis/Pickleball court and beautiful views of Great Cruz Bay

DESCRIPTION: Tennis Villa is a graceful and alluring 4 bedroom 4 bath home with a pool and private tennis court. This one story design is child friendly, spacious and comfortable. Only a few St. John villas combine this much space and privacy with such easy access to so many activities and amenities.

Tennis Villa consists of a 3 bedroom 3 bath main house plus a 1 bedroom 1 bath detached pool house. The main house contains a large, well equipped spacious kitchen plus the living and dining areas, while the pool house overlooks the all weather surface tennis court. The arched doorways of the living area of the great house flow into a large garden courtyard that encircles a 43 foot pool. The south-facing courtyard gets all day sun and affords privacy and sunset views.

In May of 2023, the regulation size tennis court was resurfaced and now includes markings for pickleball. Also included are tennis rackets, tennis balls, pickleball paddles and pickleball balls. Should you be an avid player for either sport, we recommend bringing your own rackets.
the owners added Tesla solar panels to both the main house, Tennis Villa and the guest cottage, Tennis Cottage. The battery back up system automatically kicks in should power be interrupted on the island.

A charming guest cottage, (Tennis Cottage), is located behind Tennis Villa in a concealed setting that insures that both Tennis Villa and Tennis Cottage are private and hidden from each others view. The 3- bedroom/3 bath Cottage has its own 40 foot pool, kitchen and living room, a private driveway and south facing, scenic views of Chocolate Hole Harbor. Tennis Cottage can be rented with Tennis Villa as a 7 bedroom estate, or each villa can be rented separately.

LOCATION: Tennis Villa is located in Great Cruz Bay in a very convenient and appealing setting. It's an exceptional spot that enjoys excellent privacy and peace and quiet, and yet it's only a 5 minute drive in to Cruz Bay.

Tennis Villa sits on a large lot on the peninsula that separates Great Cruz Bay Harbor from Chocolate Hole Harbor, with picturesque views of both harbors. Both Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor are well-established and desirable neighborhoods that consist of expensive residential villas.

LIVING & DINING: The very spacious and comfortable living room contains 3 large arched doorways that are framed by stately columns and beautiful native stonework. Sliding glass screened doors recess into wall pockets and extend the living room onto the expansive garden patio and pool area. The arched doors open to gentle breezes and scenic harbor views and combine with cathedral ceilings and tropical furniture to create a relaxing summertime setting. A 56 inch flat screen TV and DVD, Bluetooth speaker, wireless internet and a regulation pool table are included.

The large table in the dining area seats 8-10 and there are breakfast and lunch tables on the pool deck that seat 4-6.

KITCHEN: This fabulous kitchen is definitely a gourmet's delight. It is very well equipped and includes a gas range and hood, ovens plus a microwave oven, white ceramic double sinks, 2 refrigerator freezers, toaster, blender and complete cookware, china and glassware. A washer/dryer is located off the kitchen and a gas barbecue grill is on the patio. There is plenty of room for multiple chefs, and this spacious kitchen will easily handle a large group.

BEDROOMS: The four air conditioned bedrooms, (1 king, plus 3 kings that convert to 6 twins) and the four adjoining baths are comparable in size and furnishings. In order to insure sound and visual privacy there are no common walls between the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a flat screen cable TV and blue ray DVD player and there is abundant closet space, tasteful furnishings and an attached tiled bath. Three bedrooms (north, south and west bedrooms) are located in the main house while the fourth bedroom is housed in the pool house.

Fantastic beach vacay in St John

We had an outstanding time in St John and loved staying at the tennis villa. Property managers were extremely helpful and responsive. Very warm and welcoming to us the entire week. The place was perfect for two families of 4 with two teenagers each. Beaches are magical. We particularly loved trunk bay at sunset. We would come back to tennis villa

Wonderful family holiday vacation

We were a family of seven, two grandparents, two daughters with husbands and one teenage grandchild coming from three cold New England states. It was blissful to be there. We went kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, beaching, and relaxing. The weather was amazing. The house incredible, comfortable, well equipped, perfect.

Great Location in Cruz Bay area

Great spot for our group of friends to enjoy. Large kitchen with 2 refrigerators. Plenty of space to cook and grill. The large great room/dining area fit all of us comfortably. Pool deck and pool were in excellent condition with plenty of seating and views of 2 bays. If you want to play casual tennis, the court is nice, just bring grip tape for the available racquets and balls.

Beautiful St. John Villa

The villa was perfect for our group of 8. All of the rooms were setup as kings for each couple with a bathroom in each one. Both the kitchen and living room area were big, so we had plenty of space. The pool was a big hit for everyone in our group as it was long and deep so everyone could swim at the same time. Though we didn't use the tennis court, we did get an opportunity to see a couple deer on the court one evening. The property was very beautiful with lots of trees, flowers and adorable tiny lizards. The night sky above the pool area was amazing and clear 90% of the trip, so perfect for those star gazers in the group. We'll definitely try to stay at this villa again during our next visit and highly recommend staying on St. John. Everyone is extremely friendly and it's great if you just want a relaxing vacation with peaceful evenings and it also has the best snorkeling.

Nice place to stay

Easy access to town. 3 King Bedrooms, all ensuites. Great AC in all bedrooms. The house is for sale and needs some improvements, but for our group it was just what we needed - a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay on St John. Thanks!

Relaxing vacation ever

My family recently stayed at tennis villa for a family reunion. This villas is perfect for a large group and sleeps up to 14 with the cottage. We spent the majority of our time at the villa. The spaciousness and comfort allowed us to relax, play tennis, a game of pool, swim and venture into town for dinner. I strongly recommend tennis villa. Everything from booking to our arrival to our last day was exceptional. We will return.

Perfect Location! Perfect Vacation!

We are a family of 5 - parents and 3 adult children. We are a family that is always on the go and love the evenings to relax and enjoy each others company. Tennis Villa fulfilled all of our requirements. We spent endless amount of hours playing tennis (yes, this villa has its own tennis court) in the mid-afternoon and evenings whilst the others would swim in the lap pool. These things are what really sold us about this home so I was very pleased that we took advantage of them as much as we did. We packed our own raquettes to play with since we all are avid players but were informed by the management company that there were some at the home. They were in good condition as well which is a plus for future renters who want to play for fun rather than compete with each other like my family does :) The villa is very close to the Westin Resort as well. My husband and I walked to the Westin Resort and walked along the beach. We felt this sufficed as we knew the North Shore Beaches are driving distance away. Speaking of the North Shore beaches, my family and I swam with turtles when we snorkeled at Maho Beach! The most wonderful experience! It is a very easy drive to find and the driveway is simple. We find the roads to be enjoyable when we go to St John but were very happy to see the flat driveway. Its also a circle driveway so there was never a need to back up or turn around and it fit 2 vehicles perfectly! We felt spoiled! My husband and I stayed in the guest house while we left our adult children to sleep or stay awake to play pool in the main house. The kitchen is very large, perfect for my daughter who loves to cook (she did not inherit that from me), and it also has 2 refrigerators which was perfect for my other 2 always hungry boys. We thought this lay out was perfect for our family and I would recommend this villa to any family with children young or old(er). We will certainly be back!
