Water Cliff Villa Cruz Bay!

WELCOME TO WATER CLIFF: AN EXCEPTIONAL WATERFRONT VILLA.

Water Cliff is a charming 4 bedroom villa which offers the best of both worlds: a fabulous location and a spectacular view. The villa is situated on the west end of St. John, just around the corner from the main town of Cruz Bay. With about a 2 minute drive to town and 8 minutes to the world class beaches of the Virgin Islands National Park, you can spend more time having fun and less time getting there! And yet, Water Cliff’s tranquil neighborhood will ensure you feel far away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay for the times you’d rather kick back and relax in the comfort of your own private villa.

NESTLED JUST ABOVE THE CRASHING SURF WITH UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN VIEWS.

Water Cliff is a quiet retreat perched atop a dramatic cliff just above the crystal clear turquoise sea. Listen to the sound of the waves crashing below. Gaze out over the unreal Caribbean blue water – there is nothing between you and the sparkling sea. The islands to count are many: Besides St. Thomas, you can see Great St. James, Little St. James, Dog Island and French Cap. On a clear day you can see St. Croix and sometimes even Vieques! From your waterfront vantage point you might see sailboats cruising by on a beam reach, locals diving for lobsters and an occasional kayak or SUP boarder. Guests have even reported spotting amazing sea life from the deck – a mother dolphin and her baby swimming by, a tarpon jumping out of the water, turtles coming up for air…and once someone even saw a manta ray! Spectacular sunsets are a common occurrence, and the sparkling lights of St. Thomas each evening will never fail to delight you.

DESIGNED IN TRUE CARIBBEAN STYLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

The house was designed in a breezy Caribbean architectural style, to make the most of the dramatic view, but also the steady trade winds. Outdoor living spaces abound. From the shady covered decks on every room, to the alfresco dining options, to lazy lounging on the pool deck – you will find a place to make the most of St. John’s wonderful warm and sunny weather. The comfortable open floor plan gives the whole house a relaxed and casual vibe. The bright and cheerful décor can’t help but make you feel at home in the tropics. Water Cliff truly reflects the nature of St. John – a laid back island bursting with color and life.

A STUNNING VIEW FROM EVERY ROOM ENSURES NO ONE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED.

Water Cliff is ideal for groups and families, as it offers a fabulous great room and pool deck for socializing, but also separate private bedrooms perfect for a little down time. The house is organized in two wings on either side of the pool. On the west side, the great room sits above a studio apartment, and on the east side there are three en suite bedrooms. The layout intentionally provides for lots of space between the living areas, making it easy for everyone to do their own thing when they wish. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom and outdoor shower and every bedroom has an incredible sea view!

OUR WELL APPOINTED VILLA LETS YOU TRAVEL LIGHT.

Water Cliff is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation – from linens to kitchen equipment, and everything you need for the beach. All you need to do is come ready to have a good time! Our friendly property management team will ensure your smooth arrival to the villa and give you a quick orientation on island living. They are located on St. John and are close by should you need assistance during your stay.

We enjoyed our stay at water cliff Villa! The view is spectacular, we enjoyed jumping in the pool after beach days and being able to play cards with family on the deck. Air conditioners were only in the bedrooms, which is common in St. John and we absolutely love the outdoor showers. I would suggest bringing off if mosquitoes like you!

Family time paradise

We loved our stay! It was the perfect spot for our family to play, relax, rest, cook and enjoy beautiful St. John's. We loved the pool, outdoor showers, beautiful balconies with amazing views, comfortable suites and very nice kitchen and choices of places to dine. We felt like there was no one around for miles except iguanas, goats, lizards and the neighborhood cat. We really had a special time!

had a great stay at Water Cliff Villa. spacious with beautiful cliffside views from pool and deck made coming back to the place each day for sunset views a must. The host staff was 10 out of 10 in timely response, addressing questions or concerns and helping with restaurant suggestions and reservations or simply helping us navigate our first time to the island.

Loads of outdoor space to enjoy the breathtaking views. Found everything we needed in kitchen for snacks, etc., though we ate out most meals. Provided beach chairs, towels and coolers were all appreciated for daily trips to the beaches. Enjoyed the uniqueness of outdoor showers and A/C in the bedrooms.

Wonderful stay in St. John

We very much enjoyed our stay at Water Cliff! The property is set up well to host multiple families or, as was our case, a family with adult children that want their own space, while making it easy and enjoyable to gather for coffee in the morning, a communal dinner cooked in the kitchen, or a late night game of Marco Polo in the pool. Views/sunsets are incredible with several decks for viewing, and the location was as close to town conveniences as we've ever been on St. John. 5 stars!!

Great Caribbean Rental Property

Water Cliff met the vacation needs of our family with ease. Beautiful views of the ocean and island from each of several verandas. The property is well maintained and stocked with beach chairs, coolers, and towels. Everything we needed to enjoy St John beaches. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to enjoy food and our favorite beverages. Check-in was smooth. Our family loved the place and recommend it if you are looking for a pleasant stay in St John.

What a great place.

What a great stay we had in St John. Water cliff was perfect for us. No, it was not perfect, and there were a few minor issues that I am not going to let affect my 5 rating. The location is amazing, and the property managers were very responsive and available for general questions about the island. First time to St John, and by far our favorite island of many. We'll be back!

Perfect Summer Get Away

Just got back from 9 nights at Water Cliff Villa where we had an amazing time. The house was a perfect setup for our family. The views of the ocean first thing in the morning and last thing at night were spectacular. We all loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean. Dave and Julie were so easy to get a hold of when we had questions and were very hospitable. We are all already missing those outdoor showers!

Fantastic Villa for a Family and Friends Trip

Water Cliff is set in an amazing location with beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed that it was close to Cruz Bay and easy to call for a taxi to get into town and just as easy to get home. The pool in the afternoon was perfect after a day at the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a few meals at home. Being able to grill was also a plus. There were some basic supplies available (e.g. coffee filters, condiments) that were helpful to settle in as well. Highly recommend this property and hope to be back soon.

Perfect Accommodations!

Water Cliff was perfect for our group of 8 adults. The house was well maintained and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was IDEAL, being close to Cruz Bay, and not too far from the beaches. The property managers were excellent, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, and ensuring we knew who to contact if we needed anything. Each of the four bedrooms were well equipped, and had privacy. We will be back! Thank you for a fantastic week.

Beautiful place

Maintenance and owner were very responsive to our questions and concerns. Note that while the bedrooms have nice AC, the main living area (with kitchen/living/dining) does not. That area relies on ceiling fans and its large windows/screen doors for a nice cross breeze, but dinner prep was still a sweaty event in our early-July visit. Amenities were great - plenty of cookware options, and gas grill. Views were awesome, and the property is gorgeous.
