About this property

Marathon: Full AC! Pool! Amazing Views!

After one evening spent on the decks of Marathon watching the incomparable Caribbean sunset and enjoying cocktails, tropical breezes and, of course, each other's company, you'll never want to vacation anywhere else. Nestled amidst vibrant tropical gardens of the exclusive Virgin Grand Estates, this three-bedroom villa is a great place to come home to, after spending the day exploring St. John.

Marathon boasts incredible views of St. Thomas and the outlying islands, just a short drive from magnificent North Shore beaches or dining, shopping, and entertainment in Cruz Bay. And for leisurely days at home, the villa offers a large pool and sundeck, a gourmet kitchen, and comfortably furnished indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Beautiful new house with outstanding view

This house is brand new as of Nov 2018. The owner did an outstanding job of thinking about everything! The design of the house maximizes the incredible view of Great Cruz Bay and St Thomas. The outdoor living area is fantastic! The owner thought about all of the amenities that could have been easily overlooked or taken years to assemble. There are two bedrooms upstairs, and the master bedroom is on the main floor with the kitchen, family room, outdoor living area and pool. The views are even better than what they appear in the photos online. This house is great for families!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pre-stay communication was great. The villa greeter was very nice and knowledgeable. The villa itself was beyond our expectations. We had 3 adult couples and each had their own large bedroom & ensuite bathroom with exceptional views. In fact, the views from every room were fantastic. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for the week. The pool was fabulous and we lounged in it every day. I would highly recommend this villa and we would definitely stay here again.
