Cloud Nine! Spectacular Sunsets, Privacy, Pool, Spa & AC- Near Town & Beaches!

Cloud Nine is a private villa located on Gifft Hill, high above the tranquil blue waters of Great Cruz Bay on the Island of St John, USVI. The villa offers incredible unobstructed water views across acres of conservation land with spectacular sunsets, gentle trade winds, and the twinkling lights of distant islands.

Cloud Nine affords the comforts of traditional Caribbean architecture with casual elegance and creates a private and restful environment. The three bedroom, three bath villa frames an extra large 1,200 square-foot deck with private pool, spa, and ample space to lounge throughout the day in both sun and shade. The covered dining area is a favorite spot for meals while taking in the breathtaking views of the Caribbean sea below.

Cloud Nine is conveniently located a short 7 minute drive on paved roads into Cruz Bay where you will find a myriad of restaurants, bars and shopping options. And of course the world famous North Shore beaches located within the National Park are an easy 15 minutes from the villa.

Cloud Nine’s great room is a traditional Caribbean structure with soaring 20 foot vaulted ceiling with exposed rafters and beams. There are plenty of cozy seating options, a smart TV, Wi-Fi, ceiling fans, air conditioning, a reading nook, and dining table with a sliding glass door to the adjacent pool area.

The Cloud Nine kitchen is equipped with a gas stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker and filtered tap water- no need for single-use plastic water bottles! You’ll find the kitchen well stocked with basic pantry needs including: coffee filters, paper towels, sugar/Splenda, an assortment of spices, and complete cooking and dining utensils. A gas grill is located just outside the kitchen by the front door.

Cloud Nine is perfectly set up for outdoor living and dining. The massive 1,200 square foot deck accommodates chaise loungers, covered alfresco dining, and plenty of open space for lounging in the sun or shade. True to the St John lifestyle, you’ll find yourself spending most of your time outside. And just wait for those magical sunsets!

Cloud Nine is conveniently set up with separate pods for both of the ensuite bedrooms, accessible via a covered walkway to the main living/dining area.

Bedroom #1 features a king bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and double doors that open onto the pool courtyard and view. Ensuite is a large double vanity bathroom and garden shower that opens onto the pool deck. The laundry room with full-size washer/dryer is located behind the primary bedroom in an attached utility room.

Bedroom #2 features a king bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and double doors that open onto the pool courtyard and view. The single vanity ensuite bathroom has a closet and private garden shower.

Bedroom #3 features a semi-private loft at the top of the stairs in the main great room. It has a queen bed and two additional twin beds. A private bathroom and shower are at the base of the stairs. The loft is air conditioned by way of the main house unit.

With over 60% of St John protected as a Nation Park, the island boasts some of the best beaches in the world. From Cruz Bay take the beautiful North Shore Road to experience the unspoiled beaches of Honeymoon Bay, Hawksnest, Cinnamon Bay, Maho Bay, and Trunk Bay which was just rated the #1 beach in the world!

I couldn’t say much more than this place is spectacular and that Linda and her daughter were very inviting and informative. I truly appreciate their attention to making sure that we had everything that we needed. The amenities of this villa were second to none and we will be staying there again.

Cloud Nine was just like the pictures show. The views were stunning and the location is the best.

I would rent Coud Nine again for sure. We loved the location. It’s a short drive to town and just a bit further to all the beaches. The house is beautiful and clean. Best vacation ever!! Must eat at Scrambles at the top of the hill across from the health center. If you want to relax on St John, cloud nine is the way to go.

Cloud 10!

My wife and I had an amazing stay at Cloud 9. The view is breathtaking! There was a brief rain each morning that resulted in some of the most beautiful rainbows, many doubles, that we’ve ever seen. My wife and I highly recommend this property.

Gorgeous view!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Cloud 9! The view from the deck was absolutely breathtaking especially the sunsets! The Villa was very clean and had everything we needed available to us. We were close to town and to the beaches. Linda went above and beyond to make our stay there enjoyable even going as far as to give me a ride to meet my friends on the other side of the island. We will definitely be back!

Amazing sunsets

This was our first time actually using HomeAway and this property was great! The owners are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The home has everything we could need. We enjoyed our evenings catching the sunset on the spacious deck. The pool and hot tub were great after our days exploring the island. Thank you.

Cloud Nine’s magical view greeted us each morning and captivated us each evening

Our family Christmas trip to St John was perfect in every way, and our stay at aptly named Cloud Nine was an ideal place for our family of 8 to enjoy the pleasures of St. John. Linda was so helpful and generous with providing lots of information and answering any question promptly. This was our first family trip since the pandemic began, and Cloud Nine on St John provided a gorgeous, safe environment for our family to come together to visit, snorkel, hike, laugh in the sunshine, and relax. Thank you!

7 day stay

Good communication and information from Linda throughout the process. Epic views from the top of the hill. Comfortable beds, working kitchen, laundry, hot tub, fans and a/c. Only thing missing would be some citronella candles or bug zappers, especially for sunsets out in the hot tub. Linda and Allen were also gracious in inviting us out to their east end property Pebble Cove which is beautiful overlooking the water and has its own small beach and snorkeling area. Overall would stay here again or try out their Pebible Cove location next time.

Excellent views, good access to beautiful beaches and snorkeling, comfortable and relaxed house.

Spent a week. We really enjoy the house. It’s very well distributed and easy to relax in it. Great views with fantastic sunsets. Nice swimming pool and hot tub. Works well to combine it with with half day at the beach and half day at the pool... beaches are 20 min away but it's a great drive and the way it is for most of the island. Snorkeling is really, really accesible and great quality. No need to go into a tour, many beaches has keys and coral areas with lots to see. Overall, great experience in a very nice house.

Gorgeous Sunsets!

We just got back from a week on St. John and the Cloud Nine villa. Our family had such a wonderful time! The kids swam in the pool (was a bit cold for me), but we all sat in the hot tub nightly after watching the sunset. Beware of the no-see-ums after sunset as they definitely come out! The two bedroom suites are only accessible from the exterior just so you know. Would be perfect for couples, yet our kids loved having their own space! We would definitely go back to Cloud Nine! Thanks Linda!

Outstanding vacation home

We spent a week during The Christmas holidays and had a fantastic time. We were met by Linda and Allen and they showed us around the home and gave us great information for our week at Cloud nine. The views are unbelievable . We would literally plan our day to be back on our own back deck for sunsets every evening. The hot tub and pool were perfect for those evenings at home and for relaxing mornings after a good walk. The house was very comfortable for a family of six.. We cooked in a couple of nights and the kitchen was well stocked with new pots and pans.. The beds were all very comfortable and though we didn’t need it often, each rooms were equipped with individual air conditioners. The location of the house was also perfect.. It sat above great Cruz bay and was only a 10 minute drive down to town. Easy drive to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island . Everything about our week was wonderful and we will definitely rent Again.

Amazimg

My wife and I spent a week at this fantastic property. For 7 straight days, ever time we entered the property we said “ this is incredible”. Your view from this elevated Property overlooks Cruz Bay and the island of St. Thomas. Whether you are in the pool, hot tub or just lounging on the deck, the view never gets old. Total privacy too. House is extremely comfortable. Easily sleeps 7. Kitchen is functional. Food is very expensive on the island. I recommend bringing your favorite dry goods. Or, grocery shop in St Thomas before taking the ferry over to St John. The property is a 10 minute drive down the mountain to the center of town. In mileage, all the North Shore beaches are close but allow 15-30 minutes to get there. Driving on the island is fun, but also adventurous. Hawksnest was our favorite beach. Trunk Bay and Maho Bay were great too. Veggie burgers at Maho were excellent. Karen is a wonderful host. Very responsive to any needs. I truly hope I can return to Cloud Nine again some day. However, If I am not that fortunate, I will always have very special memories.

Great views

Linda was great and quickly responded to the few questions we had. The information provided in advance was very helpful as well although this was our 4th visit to St. John. The location is excellent as well the views. Great sunsets every evening. This home worked out great for us and our 3 children in terms of the sleeping arrangements. This is an older home, so keep that in mind in terms of expectations. Everything worked as it should - a few recommendations we'd make are a new microwave as the current one is quite rusted inside. The water temp was difficult to adjust in the master bath shower. The hot tub has limited controls, takes a long time to warm up, and the cover is a challenge to remove and put back. There is a bright light on the AC units, so if you need total darkness to sleep in, you might want to bring a sleep mask. We found the access to the home very easy with multiple parking options (you are not fighting any kind of steep driveway). Overall we had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend this home!

Great experience

What a great villa on St. John. The view is incredible and feels very private. The property was a very comfortable stay for my family. It is just far enough out of Cruz Bay to feel very private and quiet, but a short drive to town and easy access to anywhere on island (jeep/car required). Everything you will need is provided including nice beach chairs, towels etc. The hosts are very helpful and responsive and live on island. Five-star experience.

Breathtaking view of St. John

Our family of four spent Spring Break at Cloud Nine. We were blown away by the spectacular views when we walked in. The pictures do not do it justice! The layout was great for our family. The house was clean and kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We used Landlubber Logistics to have groceries delivered in advance which was convenient after a long day of traveling. All the beaches are a short drive away (15-25 min max) and the we enjoyed the pool in afternoons. We loved Shambles (5 min away) for dinner and ate there a couple of times during our trip. We would not hesitate to stay at Cloud Nine again!
