Tennis Villa – 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Tennis Court, Pool, and Tesla Battery Backup power in St John

Tennis Villa is a spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bath vacation villa in Great Cruz Bay on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, offering a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and convenience. This single-level Caribbean home features a private regulation-size tennis court, pickleball court markings, 43-foot private swimming pool, garden courtyard, air conditioning, gourmet kitchen, and beautiful views of Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor.

Designed with families and groups in mind, Tennis Villa provides plenty of room to spread out while keeping everyone together. The main house includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, while a detached pool house provides a fourth private bedroom and bathroom. The home's indoor living spaces open naturally to a spacious garden courtyard and pool deck, creating the ideal indoor-outdoor setting for a relaxing St. John vacation.

For guests who love an active getaway, few St. John vacation rentals offer this combination of private tennis, pickleball, swimming, spacious accommodations, and proximity to Cruz Bay.

Private Tennis & Pickleball Court
One of Tennis Villa's standout amenities is its private regulation-size tennis court, providing guests with the rare opportunity to play tennis without leaving the property. The court was professionally resurfaced in May 2023 and includes markings for pickleball, allowing guests to enjoy both sports during their stay.

Tennis and pickleball equipment is provided, including:
- Tennis rackets
- Tennis balls
- Pickleball paddles
- Pickleballs
- Access to a private regulation-size tennis court
- Pickleball court markings

Avid players may prefer to bring their own equipment.

Private Pool & Outdoor Living
At the heart of Tennis Villa is a beautiful 43-foot private swimming pool, surrounded by a spacious south-facing garden courtyard and pool deck. The courtyard receives sunshine throughout the day and offers a wonderfully private setting for swimming, sunbathing, dining, and relaxing. The elevated location also provides beautiful views toward the surrounding harbors and spectacular Caribbean sunsets.

Outdoor highlights include:
- 43-foot private swimming pool
- Private regulation-size tennis court
- Pickleball court markings
- South-facing garden courtyard
- Spacious pool deck
- Outdoor dining
- Gas barbecue grill
- Tropical landscaping
- Views of Great Cruz Bay & Chocolate Hole Harbor

Whether you're enjoying an early morning tennis match, cooling off in the pool, or gathering for dinner outdoors, Tennis Villa is designed for enjoying the Caribbean lifestyle.

Location – Great Cruz Bay, St. John
Tennis Villa is located in Great Cruz Bay, one of St. John's most desirable residential villa neighborhoods. The property sits on a hillside between Great Cruz Bay Harbor and Chocolate Hole Harbor, providing picturesque views in both directions. Despite its private and peaceful setting, Tennis Villa is just a 5-minute drive from Cruz Bay, making it easy to enjoy St. John's restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, nightlife, ferry terminal, and island activities.

The location offers an ideal balance of:
- Peaceful residential surroundings
- Approximately 5 minutes to Cruz Bay
- Convenient access to restaurants and shopping
- Easy access to St. John's beautiful beaches
- Views of Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor
- Privacy without feeling remote

Living & Dining
The spacious living room welcomes guests through three dramatic arched doorways framed by elegant columns and native stonework. Cathedral ceilings, tropical furnishings, and abundant natural light create a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. Large screened sliding glass doors open the living area directly onto the garden courtyard and pool, allowing refreshing island breezes and beautiful harbor views to become part of the indoor living experience.

Entertainment amenities include:
- 56-inch flat-screen TV
- Bluetooth speaker
- Wireless internet
- Regulation-size pool table

The dining area features a large table with seating for 8 guests. Additional outdoor breakfast and lunch tables on the pool deck accommodate 4–6 guests, making it easy to enjoy meals in the sunshine or beneath the Caribbean sky.

Kitchen
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen is designed for guests who enjoy cooking and entertaining during their St. John vacation.
Kitchen amenities include:
- Gas range and hood
- Multiple ovens
- Microwave
- Double ceramic sinks
- Two refrigerator/freezers
- Toaster
- Blender

- Washer/dryer conveniently located off the kitchen

A gas barbecue grill on the outdoor patio provides another option for preparing meals while enjoying the tropical surroundings.

Four Private Bedrooms
Tennis Villa offers four air-conditioned bedrooms and four private adjoining bathrooms, with three bedrooms in the main house and one bedroom in the detached pool house. A key feature of the villa's design is the privacy between bedrooms—none of the bedrooms share walls, making Tennis Villa particularly comfortable for families, multiple couples, and groups traveling together.

Each bedroom includes:
- Air conditioning
- Flat-screen cable TV
- Ample closet space
- Tropical furnishings
- Private tiled bathroom

Bedroom 1 – King - located off the great room
The first bedroom features a king-size bed, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and a private tiled bathroom.

Bedrooms 2 & 3 – King or Two Twins - located off the side of the kitchen
The second and third bedrooms each feature beds that can be configured as one king or two twin beds, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups. Each bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom with tiled shower

Bedroom 4 – Pool House Bedroom
The fourth bedroom is located in the detached pool house, offering additional privacy and separation from the main living areas. It also features a flexible king/twin configuration and private tiled bathroom.

Solar Power & Battery Backup
Tennis Villa is equipped with Tesla solar panels and a battery backup system. The system provides a more energy-efficient way to enjoy your Caribbean vacation while offering added peace of mind in the event of a temporary island power interruption.

The adjacent Tennis Cottage also has Tesla solar panels and battery backup.

Combine Tennis Villa & Tennis Cottage
For larger families, reunions, celebrations, and groups traveling together, Tennis Villa can be rented with the adjacent Tennis Cottage to create an impressive 7-bedroom St. John vacation estate. The two properties are close enough to enjoy together while maintaining separate living spaces and privacy.
Rent both properties for a spacious 7-bedroom tropical estate, or reserve Tennis Villa independently for a more intimate vacation experience.

Tennis Villa brings together everything needed for an unforgettable St. John vacation: a private pool, private tennis and pickleball court, spacious indoor and outdoor living, private bedrooms, harbor views, and a convenient location just minutes from Cruz Bay.

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.

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

Tennis villa visit

Villa is a great location. Villa itself is nice. But it was in deep need of a deep cleaning. The dryer died. Dust on most fixtures and appliances. Hot water didn’t last long. Could’ve been cleaner. Decor was very dated. Communication with the manager was good. Pool was kept clean.

The house was great for my mobility challenged mom because it was all on one floor including the pool - no stairs! The kitchen is updated and well stocked. The rest of the home is very spacious and well-loved providing a glimpse back in time. It had everything we needed and was in a great location with nice views. It worked well as our home base to venture out from to the north shore beaches during the day and to the restaurants in Cruz Bay for dinners in the evenings. Air conditioning worked well in all of the bedrooms - no AC in the kitchen and living room but the large screened in windows and fans made it comfortable enough. The house had cats that we fed daily and a family of chickens. We also had a visit from the donkeys one day! And finally, we got unexpectedly delayed and had to stay on the island for several more days and the rental company was so easy to work with and found us a place to stay at a reasonable price. We would stay at this home again!

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.

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!
