About this property

Private pool 1-bed close to Cruz Bay Ocean views

  • Private Pool Luxury 1-Bedroom with Ocean View – Just 5 Minutes from Cruz Bay



    Welcome to your private Caribbean hideaway.



    This luxurious one-bedroom villa is tucked away in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood just a quick five-minute drive from the heart of Cruz Bay. With panoramic ocean views, a private pool, and curated amenities designed for romance, rest, and reconnection, this is a space where time slows down and the beauty of the island wraps around you like a warm breeze.



    Designed for Connection and Comfort



    The villa was fully renovated after the hurricanes and now offers both elegance and ease. Inside, you’ll find soaring vaulted ceilings, warm-toned natural finishes, and a spacious open layout that lets the light in and invites you to breathe a little deeper.



    The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures, featuring a 6-burner Wolf gas stove, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from fresh-caught fish to romantic candlelit meals at home.



    The king-sized bedroom is calm and breezy, with soft linens, ceiling fans, and AC for those warm Caribbean nights. The ensuite bathroom is large, luxurious, and connects to two private outdoor showers—where you can rinse off under the stars or the morning sun, surrounded by tropical greenery.



    **Private Pool, Ocean Views, and Sunset Magic**



    Step outside onto your expansive deck where you’ll find your own private plunge pool overlooking the ocean. Lounge in the sun or float as the sky shifts from blue to gold to deep purple, watching the sun set over St. Thomas. It’s the kind of view you’ll want to toast every evening.



    You’ll also find comfortable seating, loungers, and tropical landscaping around the villa. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting as the inside—intentionally designed to offer privacy, peace, and a deep connection to nature.



    **Experiences to Make Your Stay Unforgettable**



    We want your time here to feel effortless and memorable. We can help arrange everything from:



    Private, in-villa chef dinners

    Sunset massages on the deck

    Sunrise yoga classes tailored to your pace

    Island excursions or boat trips

    Airport transportation or Jeep rental recommendations

    Whether you're celebrating something special or simply craving solitude and beauty, we’re here to help you create the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave.



    **Perfect for Two (But Can Sleep More)**



    This villa is ideal for one or two adults seeking a private retreat, but it can also accommodate additional guests thanks to a high-end sleeper sofa in the living area. Let us know your group size and we’ll make sure you're all comfortable.



    **Close to Everything, Yet a World Away**



    Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only five minutes drive from the restaurants, bars, ferry dock, and beach gear shops of Cruz Bay. Spend your days exploring North Shore beaches, hiking scenic trails in Virgin Islands National Park, or dining on fresh seafood at the water’s edge—then return to your peaceful hillside oasis.



    Onsite parking is included, making it easy to explore the island at your own pace.



    **Why Guests Love It Here**



    Private pool with ocean and sunset views

    Chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances

    Two private outdoor showers

    Quiet, safe residential location

    Personalized concierge services

    Close to Cruz Bay and beaches

    Fully automated generator for power outages.

    Post-hurricane renovation with luxury touches throughout



    If you're dreaming of an island escape where you can fully exhale, sink into comfort, and reconnect with yourself or your loved one, we invite you to make this your home away from home.

A great place to stay!

We absolutely loved the views this property provided. The private pool and outdoor pool shower were wonderful. Being high on the hill overlooking the island was fantastic. The interior was well cleaned and updated as well. Thanks to Hannah for her wonderful hospitality. She was great with recommendations as well.

Truly Paradise

We had the best stay - the bed was very comfortable, kitchen well-equipped and the living area was cozy. We loved the private pool for afternoons after the beach with views of Cruz Bay, and the outdoor shower was great. Hannah was so accommodating and helpful. Looking forward to staying here again - 5 stars.

Amazing stay!

We spent 4 nights at Paradise Found, and it was perfect! Not only was the place exactly as described in the listing, it was comfortable, private, easy to find and close to everything. The little touches were great - towels for beach and pool, smart TV with access - and had us looking forward to coming back to relax after a day on the beach. The restaurants that Hannah recommended were delicious - we tried Tap & Still, La Tapa, Morgan's Mango and the STJ Speakeasy. So good! Definitely a place we'd come back to again and again!

Better than advertised! The place was clean, neat and very comfortable. The part of the advertisement that is hard to describe in words is the peace that this place brings. It was actually a coin toss whether we would stay at the home and sit by the pool all day or go to the beach. When you are competing with the best beaches in the world, this is quite the statement! The privacy and peace that this home brings is priceless. The host was always available and responsive. As this was the first time to the island, our intent was to look at other options while we were there for next time. Didn't even bother with that. Perfectly content. Its not a matter of if but rather when we will be back! Thanks to everyone from the host to the cleaners for the GREAT experience!

Beautiful week in St John

Hannah’s villa by the hills has the most gorgeous views. My husband and I really enjoyed being able to wake up each morning and sit out by the pool and look at the water views from all sides. We saw a few beautiful rainbows right over Cruz Bay. The space inside was perfect and very comfortable. It is a quick five minute drive to town, but we highly recommend a jeep or 4x4 of some type.

25th anniversary trip

We could not have been more pleased with this experience. The Villa was absolutely beautiful and communication with the property host was impeccable. Pictures do not do justice to this property and the outdoor space was perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed our mornings, drinking coffee overlooking Cruz Bay, and there may not be a better place on the island to watch the sunset. Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, or just a getaway, you can’t go wrong with this stunning property. We will definitely be returning!

St. John

Place was as advertised. Beautiful views from the deck. Great location. Wifi goes in and out. So if you need to keep up to date with the real world it can be frustrating. The upside is you are not on your phone. The freezer died during our stay and Hannah was quick to respond. Offered to reimburse us for loss goods. Only loss, no ice for our drinks the last 2 days. Would definitely be back. Thanks for having us!

Incredible Views

This was our first visit to St. John. I had no idea how lucky we were to find a place with an incredible outdoor living space and views! Hannah was very helpful and responsive. She provided us with several other resources/suggestions to assist with our trip planning including a jeep rental (highly suggested if booking this property). The bed is large and comfortable and there were plenty of towels including beach towels. The kitchen was huge! Our friends stayed in a smaller villa on the same property and we often used our kitchen to cook and dine together. The kitchen could have used a few more dishes (bowls) for food prep, but other than that offered all you need. Overall, we LOVED our stay at Paradise Found Pool Villa and are definitely considering reserving it again for a future visit to St. John.

Best Vacation We've Ever Had

We can't say enough of how much we loved the property. Hannah was amazing and so attentive and so fast to respond to ANY questions or needs we had, which weren't many. This rental exceeded any expectations. From the views to the pool, it was exactly and more of what we wanted. It was close and convenient to Cruz Bay. We rented a jeep and we were SO glad that we did to be able to explore the island and get to and from the rental property. The drive to the rental was a fun little drive up and down hills and it was amazing to get to experience "island life" like the locals do. We can't even put in to words how much we loved the rental and the island. We are already looking at dates for next year to return and would love to make this an annual trip to stay in this rental. It had everything and more than we wanted. The refrigerator and freezer...the kitchen altogether... was awesome. The living space was perfect and it was so nice sitting on the couch and being able to look out to the pool and have the view. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for the very accurate description of the property! We can't wait to be back soon!

beautiful property - wish communication was better

Property is beautiful. Directions to find it were perfect. The views from the patio are gorgeous. The furnishings and layout are well-done.It’s in a very hilly area. I walk a lot at home and didn’t walk here due to the quantity and steepness of the hills. You will want a rental car here. It's not far from town, but roads are too steep and no wide shoulder to regularly walk into town. The villa is large and clean and worked well for us. Great off-street parking. No washer/dryer here. A few other things of note:--WiFi was not reliable. It often dropped. Host provided Netflix but it was unusable due to continual WiFi issues. --Kitchen is sufficiently stocked. --Host provided a large cooler, beach towels and pool towels. We were very thankful for those items!--Patio gets direct sun and no shade in the afternoon/evening making it difficult to enjoy the space that time of day. Morning has plenty of shade on the patio. --Host didn’t respond for 11 hours to messages. She did work out the issues we reported, but the communication delay was frustrating.
