About this property

Stunning In-town Estate Cruz Bay Villa! Walk to Downtown. Private Pool. Views. Back up Power. All Bedrooms en Suites with King Beds.

Located in the town of Cruz Bay and accessible through a driveway gate, Tropical Panorama is situated 90 feet above sea level with almost 5,200 square feet of indoor and outdoor livable space, providing a view of Cruz Bay and its surrounding islands.
Guests enjoy up to 45% discount on rental cars.
Designed to enable residents to truly experience indoor/outdoor living, Tropical Panorama’s professionally decorated interior is very spacious with just over 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space, while the outdoor lanai with its additional seating and dining area as well as a summer kitchen fully complement the stunning views and the impressive private pool. Visitors will enjoy creating lasting memories at this private and quiet home that offers plenty of off-street private parking and yet is located only a short, downhill walk from Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, ferry, and shops. BACKUP Electric System - No Power Outages!

Tropical Panorama is positioned on a large hilltop parcel with lots of vegetation. Because of its hilltop location, the ground-level, front entrance opens onto the top floor, consisting of a half bath and a great room offering a seating area and a large dining table, as well as an open kitchen with barstool seating along a spacious island countertop. The seating area is well appointed with a 65` Samsung 4K HD TV with HD YouTube TV/DVR service, a 4K Blu-ray DVD player, and a multi-point seamless Wi-Fi system, STARLINK High speed internet connection. The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary needs (dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, and pans) and includes a full-size refrigerator, an electric range, a convection oven, a convection microwave, a dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker.

The interior living spaces on the top floor are cooled by air conditioning that you control, or simply open either of the glass sliding doors that span 35 feet and form two adjoining sides of the great room and allow the tropical breezes to pass through. On this level beyond the sliding doors, there is a large, open, but fully covered, veranda or lanai providing an additional sitting and dining area with a complete summer kitchen (Coyote gas grill, refrigerator, icemaker, and sink). The lanai offers the best spot in the whole house to spend hours reading a book or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, listening to your choice of music via the indoor-outdoor Bluetooth 4-zone speaker system. Beyond the lanai is a large cantilevered patio or deck adjoining the pool and overlooking Pillsbury Sound. Bordering the deck are two private principal bedroom suites, each with a king-sized bed (Sleep Number mattress) and an en suite bathroom.

A stairwell located off the lanai leads to the lower-level hallway spanning the width of the house, with a lockable barn door at the foot of the stairwell opening to the outside. This hallway provides access to the three lower-level bedrooms and their en suite bathrooms. The two lower-level principal suites are furnished with king-sized beds and have exterior sliding doors providing a view of tropical landscaping, while the lower-level interior bedroom is furnished with a king bed and double-over-double bunk bed that has a trundle single mattress under it.

The king-sized bed in one of the lower-level principal suites features a Sleep Number mattress while the other lower-level principal suite offers a TempurPedic mattress. Split-wall unit air conditioners permit dehumidified, cooled air comfort within all five bedrooms. The décor in each of the four principal bedrooms is modern and upscale. The fifth interior bedroom and its private bathroom is ideal for a 5th couple or guests traveling with children as this room can sleep up to 6 children or a few adults. (The top bunk is really only appropriate for children or small teens.)

Parents traveling with young children should be aware that each of the three downstairs bedrooms offers an independent entrance to the shared hallway with doors that can be locked from the inside and outside, while the two upstairs bedrooms each have lockable sliding doors that open onto the pool deck. Also, there is no barrier between the pool, the lanai, and the deck. There is a security camera system around the perimeter of the house that you can turn on at any time to view the security feed. (Cameras do not film either the interior of the house or the lanai, deck, and pool areas.) We want your stay to be nothing less than fabulous. For this reason, we want to share as much as possible about Tropical Panorama, enabling you to decide if it is a good fit for you and your vacation needs.

Tropical Panorama offers an incredibly prime location – a short walk down the hill to Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, and shops (and only 0.4 mile from the house to the ferry). Perhaps more importantly, you only need to walk home after visiting the many famous Cruz Bay bars. There is no need for a taxi, as you are right next to where all the action is happening, but far enough away that you do not have to be around the action when you want peace and privacy.

Tropical Panorama will easily host corporate events as the top floor offers large common spaces with amazing views. (An additional fee and deposit will apply.) Please, no wedding groups. Feel free to check out the webcam for a live image of the view.

Accessible through the entrance gate, the property at Tropical Panorama now has two additional buildings on the premises -- a Carriage House positioned over a 2-car garage and a small, separate, rustic one-bedroom cabin, known as “The Shack.”

The Carriage House, located above the garage off the front driveway, is a fully equipped, modern studio guest house and may be rented separately or, for an additional fee, can be added to your stay at Tropical Panorama. Reference Vrbo number 3820855. Note, the pool on the property is not available to guests who are renting the Carriage House independently from the villa Tropical Panorama.

The Shack is about 170` from the house and added to the reservation for those renting the villa Tropical Panorama with more than 10 guests. The Shack has an outside hot/cold shower, an outdoor kitchenette, a King bed with AC, a 55” TV, and a flushing toilet. Reference Vrbo number 1918911. For an additional fee, this can be added to your stay at Tropical Panorama to permit a total of 15 guests.

The owner also offers discounts to guests for AWD Rental SUVs.

The Owners will consider a trade for comparable vacation homes of similar quality ($1MM-$8MM) in desirable locations. Please inquire and see if there is interest.

10. Wild Life Do no place food outside and leave it unattended, it will attract not only ants and small reptiles, but possibly black birds.

11. Pool: Use at your own risk. Tropical Panorama boasts one of the largest private swimming pools on St. John. One end of the pool has a terraced entrance that culminates in steps. From the steps, the pool gradually deepens to a depth of about 6.5 feet. However, this is not deep enough for diving. No diving. The far, long side of the pool has no terrace or steps, allowing for an abbreviated swimming lane. Please do not place any chairs inside the pool. Parents - Please be attentive because there is no fence or barrier to prevent children from entering or falling into the pool. Given the open accessibility of the pool, please do not leave young children unattended for even a short period of time while at Tropical Panorama.

The property is amazing, perfect for a family vacation for all 12 of us. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor dining options, the pool is excellent, many properties in St John have small pools, this pool is huge. We appreciated the beach chairs and other gear, and we even liked seeing the peacocks walking around that part of Cruz Bay

We came to St. John for a family wedding, and the villa was a perfect spot for all the Aunts, Uncles, and Grandmother of the Bride. The villa was beautiful, clean, spacious, and quiet. Everyone felt like their bedrooms were very private, while the community spaces were well laid out for enjoyable family time. It was conveniently located and a quick walk into town for events. We rented the available car, and that was very helpful. Owners were easy to communicate with. Overall, a very special stay for all of us. Thank you for sharing your spectacular home with us.

Exceptional Villa

Tropical Panorama is an exceptional villa and is exactly as advertised. Views are even better than the photo. We have been coming to St. John for over 25 years and had one of our best stays over the holidays last month. Rooms are spacious, gourmet kitchen is fabulous, outside grill / kitchen is awesome and the pool is large and refreshing after a day on the beach. Quick walk to Cruz Bay restaurants and a quick drive to Starfish Market to cook at home. Highly recommend and the hosts are first class!

Tropical Panorama is a beautiful spacious living space! My friends and I loved it. We had fun cooking together in the well equipped kitchen and easily walked to town for a dinner and "painkillers." It was a perfect location. The pool was awesome, the view spectacular! We hope to come back to paradise some day.

Wonderful Stay!

Our group had a wonderful time at this house. The pictures and information are all accurate. We had a group with multiple young kids so I was worried the short walk to town wouldn't be possible for us, but with a few small strollers it was perfect. We loved being so close we didn't have to load up the kids again after the day at the beach to head downtown. The house had all the amenities we could need and was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids!
