Serve Up Relaxation: Tennis Villa with Pool, A/C, Tennis/Pickleball court and beautiful views of Great Cruz Bay
DESCRIPTION: Welcome to Tennis Villa, an enchanting 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom retreat that offers a perfect blend of leisurely comfort. With its private tennis court and sparkling pool, this stunning single-story home is designed for relaxation and enjoyment, making it an ideal choice for families. Few villas in St. John provide the same level of space, privacy, and easy access to activities and amenities.
Discover the spaciousness of the villa, which features a main house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, complemented by a detached pool house that includes an additional bedroom and bath. The main house is highlighted by a gourmet kitchen, expansive living, and dining areas, all flowing seamlessly into a charming garden courtyard complete with a 43-foot pool.
Bask in the sun all day in the south-facing courtyard while reveling in the privacy and breathtaking sunset views it offers. Recently resurfaced in May 2023, the regulation-sized tennis court now includes markings for pickleball. Tennis enthusiasts will appreciate the selection of rackets, balls, paddles, and pickleball equipment provided, though bringing your own is recommended for avid players.
To ensure you experience the utmost comfort, the owners have equipped both Tennis Villa and the adjacent Tennis Cottage with Tesla solar panels and a reliable battery backup system to safeguard against power interruptions.
Nestled discreetly behind Tennis Villa, the delightful Tennis Cottage offers an atmosphere of tranquility and privacy. This charming 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom haven features its own kitchen, living room, and a stunning 40-foot pool, accompanied by captivating views of Chocolate Hole Harbor. You can rent Tennis Cottage alongside Tennis Villa to create an expansive 7-bedroom estate or enjoy them separately for a more intimate getaway.
LOCATION: Tennis Villa is perfectly positioned in Great Cruz Bay, providing an unrivaled combination of serene privacy and vibrant convenience. Just a 5-minute drive from Cruz Bay, this exceptional location allows you to experience the tranquility of island life without sacrificing access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Set on a hillside lot that beautifully separates Great Cruz Bay Harbor from Chocolate Hole Harbor, you'll be treated to picturesque vistas of both harbors. This highly desirable neighborhood is renowned for its stunning luxury villas.
Living and Dining: Step into the inviting and spacious living room, defined by three grand arched doorways framed by elegant columns and exquisite native stonework. Sliding glass screened doors seamlessly integrate the indoor space with the expansive garden patio and pool, inviting refreshing breezes and enchanting harbor views. With cathedral ceilings and tropical decor that exudes relaxation, this room is the ultimate summertime haven. Enjoy entertainment with a 56-inch flat-screen TV, a DVD player, a Bluetooth speaker, wireless internet, and a regulation pool table—all at your fingertips.
Gather around the dining area, where a large table comfortably seats 8 guests. Enjoy al fresco meals on the pool deck, where additional breakfast and lunch tables accommodate 4-6.
KITCHEN: Calling all culinary enthusiasts! This gourmet kitchen is a chef's paradise, fully equipped to handle any culinary adventure. Featuring a gas range and hood, multiple ovens, a microwave, double ceramic sinks, two refrigerator/freezers, a toaster, a blender, and a complete array of cookware, dishes, and glassware, this kitchen is ready to impress. A convenient washer/dryer is located off the kitchen, and a gas barbecue grill awaits outside on the patio, ensuring that you can entertain with ease.
BEDROOMS: Four air-conditioned bedrooms—including 1 king and 3 kings that can convert into 6 twins—provide accommodations alongside four adjoining bathrooms. To promote privacy, there are no shared walls between the bedrooms. Each bedroom features a flat-screen cable TV and Blu-ray DVD player, ample closet space, tasteful furnishings, and a tiled attached bath.

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.

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!
