About this property

Secluded, romantic 1-bedroom with private pool. Nestled into National Park

Secluded and romantic 1 bedroom masonry villa nestled next to the National Park, a perfect spot for a couple looking for privacy and all the amenities of home. Private pool, outdoor shower and courtyard with gardens, large kitchen with counter seating for 4. Outdoor dining room table, seats 10. Central air--although trade winds are strong at this location. Custom-built furniture and closets. Mason house with local stonework. Cathedral ceilings with Cyprus beams and extra tall doors allow for cool Caribbean days and nights. The house sits on the hill and overlooks Fish Bay from the center of the valley, allowing guests to appreciate the water and the bay from a unique perspective.

Disappointing
- VRBO is supposed to be all about privacy, and being able to enjoy a secluded stay. To our surprise, the host stayed on the premises… we saw/ heard him everyday of our stay. This was not listed at all that our host would be with us. - this was labeled as a romantic getaway. luckily I was with my sister and not a romantic partner… on top of him staying with us the bug situation was out of control. The ONE bathroom he had was connected to the house but completely open to the outside. Mosquitoes would get in at all times of the day. We couldn’t use the bathroom comfortably. There were no bug zappers, citronella candles. Just bug spray. We didn’t feel comfortable even using the toilet we were being attacked. They all hid in the towels… Our bodies looked like we had chicken pox by the end of the trip. -the shower had NO HOT WATER. at all. - NO CELL SERVICE. couldn’t contact anyone…. Calls, texts, etc. - were unaware that we needed a rental car and were not told that. None of the taxis were willing or could take us up to where our house was because it was too high up the mountain. So we were kind of stranded. We were eventually hooked up with a very kind personal driver for the week. It had a gorgeous view and the plants were nice but other than that we were pretty uncomfortable with our stay.

Stay At Carmel By the Sea
By far one of the most beautiful scenic and relaxing rentals we have ever stayed at. This home is privately situated and peaceful. Very well-appointed home with every amenity provided by the home owner. Centrally located to beautiful beaches and the downtown of Cruz Bay. We cannot wait to return to this beautiful home to relax and enjoy again!

Carmel Cottage
Amazing. From the gardens to the plant life to the privacy. A true piece of paradise. We have stayed in many places over the past 28 years. This is by far our favorite. Kitchen is a chefs kitchen. Has everything you need. Plenty of towels and beach towels. Love the candles in the evening and the outdoor bathroom. So unique in so many ways. Looking to book next year.

Relaxation At Its Best
My husband and I loved our stay at this lovely, secluded paradise. The villa was the perfect size for two and was well-equipped for a week-long stay. The views were panoramic, and we enjoyed our morning coffees and evening wine time sitting on the porch, admiring the beautiful views. Many evenings, upon returning from our daily adventures at the beaches of Saint John's or hiking in the mountains, we would take a dip in the pool and enjoy our wine on the veranda and a delicious home-cooked meal prepared in Chef Ted's well-stocked kitchen. No stress, just the gorgeous views and Caribbean breezes all on island time! We love our precious memories.

Lovely secluded spot with great view
We absolutely loved our stay at the villa. It was very secluded and beautifully decorated and very well stocked. We used the pool almost every day. I think the listing on VRBO should list everything that is stocked. It might help people pack less. The view of the bay was gorgeous. Please note that this is up in the hills and not near beaches, which we knew. The breezes on the elevated porch were great. Even though it is only a few miles from Cruz Bay, it takes a little bit longer than expected because of the steep roads and appropriately low speed limit. Please note that the pool was very private even though there is an apartment for the owner or property manager on the first floor. Also note that the bathroom is partially open to the outdoors, which is lovely, but can be a bit buggy in the early morning. The house has mosquito repelling units which can be placed in the bathroom to reduce the mosquitos, if necessary. It wasn't necessary in the main part of the house. Again, the home is lovely with vaulted ceilings, a beautiful kitchen and plenty of room. Wifi is available in the living room/kitchen. We could not get a Verizon signal at the house, but Verizon is not the main carrier for the island. We don't mind...we often go where there is no signal...on purpose. We would definitely stay again.
