Catch the Breeze at Surfside: Beach Hikes, Poolside Bliss, and Hot Tub Heaven
Description: Experience the enchanting allure of Surfside, a stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath villa complete with a pool and hot tub, designed to offer an unforgettable getaway. This captivating Mediterranean-style home boasts exquisite stone walls, charming antique brick patios, and a French terra cotta tiled roof that together create an inviting atmosphere. With its cheerful yellow exterior and elegant white trim, Surfside stands out as a beaming oasis amidst the lush green hills, promising a serene escape.
As you step inside, you'll be welcomed by a spacious air-conditioned great room that seamlessly combines the living, dining, and kitchen areas, offering a warm environment perfect for creating lifelong memories with loved ones. Open the screened sliding glass door to the expansive upper deck, where warm tropical breezes and breathtaking views of the Reef Bay area await you. The thoughtfully designed layout places the three bedrooms on various levels, ensuring privacy for everyone. Families will appreciate the convenience of having a queen bedroom on the main level and a king bedroom accessible via an interior staircase, while the most secluded king bedroom, complete with its own unique entrance from the pool area, guarantees a peaceful retreat.
Each of the bedrooms is outfitted with air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom for your utmost comfort. Venture to the lower level, and indulge in the delight of your own private pool and sun deck—your sanctuary for sunbathing and relaxation. Just steps away, the rejuvenating hot tub beckons, providing soothing jets to melt your cares away after a day of adventure. One of the crown jewels of Surfside is its direct access to Reef Bay. Embark on a beautiful hike from the pool level down to the beach, where you'll be serenaded by the melodious sounds of nature—birds chirping, frogs singing, and the occasional sighting of an iguana or tiny gecko. Revel in the tranquility of Reef Bay Beach, an idyllic stretch of sand where you can stroll peacefully in the mornings, immersing yourself in the rhythm of the surf.
Location: Surfside is perfectly situated on the edge of unspoiled National Park lands, offering magnificent views of azure waters and the verdant landscapes of the south shore. Enjoy a private pathway that leads you to a secluded beach, a hidden gem. With only five homes on this exclusive road, you’ll relish in the peace and natural beauty surrounding you, all while being a 15-18 minute drive from the lively restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay.
Living and Dining: Inside, the living area is a tropical paradise, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings and rose-tiled floors that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. You'll find entertainment options like a flat-screen TV and sound system to keep you entertained. Enjoy two exquisite dining settings, both with breathtaking ocean views—the elegant indoor teak table comfortably seats six, while the outdoor teak table on the oceanfront deck offers the perfect backdrop for romantic meals.
Kitchen: The kitchen is well equipped, showcasing marble countertops, a farm sink, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a dual-fuel four-burner stove. A gas barbecue on the patio and a convenient washer and dryer on the lower level add to the villa's appeal, making your stay more enjoyable.
Bedrooms: All three bedrooms are thoughtfully designed with similar furnishings, ensuring both privacy and spectacular ocean views. The main level features a queen bedroom with French doors that open to a cozy deck, while the upper-level king bedroom also enjoys a small deck with delightful vistas. The lower-level king bedroom provides quick access to the pool deck. Each bedroom is complemented by an adjoining tiled bathroom with a shower, adding to your comfort and convenience.
Surfside is not just a place to stay—it's a destination where families, couples, honeymooners, and anyone seeking a thrilling island escape can create memories that last a lifetime. Your dream getaway awaits.

Great Villa!
We enjoyed our stay at Surfside. The pool and hot tub were a great hit with our family after our days out at the beaches. The walk down to the beach was great as well. The kitchen had everything you need to make meals. They provided beach chairs, towels, and coolers which was very helpful. We would stay here again.

Surfside Getaway
We had a great time on our St. John vacation. The communication with the property manager was spot on and the people who met us to show us around the property were very knowledgeable and friendly. The house was clean. We did not feel like the hot tub was useable because it did not appear to be very clean. The pool was nice, however, the trees around the area were overgrown and covering our view of the beautiful water.

Surfside review.
We had a wonderful stay. The location allowed a quick walk to the beach, although we did all of our swimming and snorkeling on the other side of the island in calmer water. With an eastern view, the sunrises will beautiful.
The villa comfortably accommodated 3 adult couples. It would not be suitable for a family with young children as the bedrooms are on 3 different levels.
Convenient to Cruz Bay without the traffic and congestion. It was very peaceful.
We hope to be able to organize a return visit.

Beautiful night sky
This home is managed by Caribbean Villas and Resorts and we could not have been more impressed with the level of
service they provided.
The house itself offers a stunning view of endless ocean. There is a relatively easy and maintained path from the house to the water. Although it it possible to bring along a (provided) beach chair and enjoy your own quiet slice of ocean, we chose not to as the beach is rocky and there are sea urchins living between the rocks. Also, St. John offers several stunning white sand beaches that we thought were a more pleasant way to spend a day.
The house is clean, open and airy. Some of the windows were not working but we were informed that the owners were planning on addressing this issue. We found that the sliders and doors to the decks along with the wonderful ocean breezes provided more than enough ventilation. Also, some of the appliances were not in prime condition. The refrigerator runs very cold and the washing machine requires an additional spin cycle. These feel like small complaints compared to the beauty of the scenery and the lovely, quiet location of the house.
My absolute favorite part of this property was lying in bed ay night and viewing the stars. The location of the bed combined with the wide open, dark Caribbean sky, created a feeling of sleeping in the stars. It was magical!

On the edge of paradise
Our stay at Reef Bay was lovely. The property is literally on the edge of the National Park on the last Bay before public lands. Houses on the bay are few as compared to the rest of the island and the house itself is situatated perfectly to maximize both views and privacy. Few other houses are visible from the house and the elevation from the beach (around a 5 minute walk down a rough trail) offers stunning sea and coastal views. The house itself is well equipped for cooking, very comfortably appointed, and just right for groups of 3-6. Pretty little pool and jacuzzi much appreciated. The jacuzzi was not well maintained but was operational. I know the island well and don't think there's a better location than Reef Bay other than possibly East End for those who seek remoteness. The greeter did not know the house well and was not able to provide basic information about beach access, swimming safety (an issue given surf and urchins). The fridge froze our precious St Thomas groceries, which was unfortunate for veggies and fruit given the cost of St John food shopping. All in all, a special place that we'd strongly recommend
