About this property

Ocean Garden - Two suites with large king bedroom

Island stonewalls & a mature tropical garden make an enchanting home for two couples. Two king master bedroom suites are equipped with air conditioning, but the island breezes make them an unnecessary option year round. Nature is at your doorstep with the Chocolate Hole Bay Beach a 100 foot walk away and the nearby salt pond provides a nesting haven for local birds.

An intimate & private hideaway for two or an economical home away from home for the family. Nestled in hillside gardens with blooming bougainvillea, hibiscus & orchids and lime trees, the island fauna beckons for exploration. You can hear the blue Caribbean Sea lap the shoreline from your deck overlooking Chocolate Hole. Come & stay in style & class economically just five minutes from the shops & restaurants of Cruz Bay.

Two separate suites each have a full bath and king bed with ample room to spread out & relax. The owner’s son – a day trader for a hedge fund based on St John & co-owner of the villa – resides in a separate one bedroom apartment with a separate entrance most of the year. He can offer you island insights and scuba tips or all the total privacy you may desire.

A spacious Great Room with a vaulted ceiling with large open doors open to a tranquil view of Chocolate Hole Bay. The cool, Caribbean trade winds sweep through the villa day & night. Additionally, every room is equipped with ceiling fans.

A modern kitchen with all the amenities and a comfortable bar overlook the Caribbean blue water and lend to a unique culinary experience. An Italian travertine stone slab dining table with a Schnell Studio weave light are situated next to the kitchen for indoor dining.

The Great Room & dining area open onto a wooden deck running the length of the villa providing an option for outdoor dining as well as additional living space. Mornings and early afternoon the deck offers bright sun while the afternoons are shady cooled as the trade winds come across the valley and the salt pond.

Steps lead to a short stroll to swimming & snorkeling at the Chocolate Hole Beach and a 5 – 10 minute drive to the spectacular National Park beaches.

A Last Minute Stay handled perfectly!

We had to change our vacation plans mid-week when our daughter got sick and we missed our flight to Maui. She got better, so we needed a Plan B for a shorter trip, and St. John was a much closer destination for us. Donald answered our booking request within an hour on the day that we needed to check-in. He made it all workout for us and we could not have been happier with this villa. Great views, plenty of space, comfy beds, good AC and beautiful gardens and neighborhood. Also, Donald rented us a jeep which made everything easier. We had half a day to plan a trip to St. John and without Donald it would not have happened. Thanks again to him and his team.

Not very friendly

Beautiful property, comfortable beds and sitting areas. Kitchen not well equipped for cooking meals with scarcity of pots and pans but plenty of gadgets. No cutting board for cocktails. Property managers were pretentious, to the point of making both of us feel uncomfortable. This would deter us from staying there again.

We'll be back!

Our group of 4 adults spent 5 days at Ocean Garden, a beautiful villa designed, built and decorated by the owners in their unique style. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, complemented by a large outdoor terrace for additional living space. The pictures don't lie. The property is located a short drive from Cruz Bay in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of a pond and surrounding mountains. We enjoyed spending time at the villa, going into town, touring the island and visiting the beautiful beaches in the national park. The hospitality offered by our hosts was exceptional. They kept in touch by email prior to our stay and responded immediately to any questions. We rented a jeep from them, and Donald met us at the ferry with the car when we arrived, escorted us to the villa, showed us where to buy groceries, checked in with us during our stay, and dropped us at the ferry when we left. In addition, they sent us off with lovely gifts from their pottery. We could not have asked for more accommodating hosts.

Great Stay!!

We stayed here for our wedding in St John - perfect size and location for me and my husband. Just a quick drive down to Cruz Bay and easy drive to get to beaches! Donald and family/crew were all very great to us!! Communication was top notch - they had a driver waiting at the airport for us, reserved spots on the ferry for us, picked us up from the ferry once we arrived to STJ, and took us to the ferry when we left. They are friendly and just a call/text away if you need anything at all! Thank you for everything!! We can’t wait to come back!

Peaceful getaway

Nestled in a hillside in Chocolate Hole near the Westin. Although the owner’s son lives in the lower level, we had all the privacy we needed. There is air conditioning but only used it at night in the bedroom. Fans were throughout the unit. The Schnell’s couldn’t have been nicer and Lucas, their son couldn’t have been more helpful. The terrace where we dined and hung out was a highlight.
