Cruz Bay is the lively and bustling main town of St. John, located in the US Virgin Islands, and is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. The picturesque harbor is filled with sailboats of all sizes, adding to the charm and beauty of the area.

Most visitors to St. John first arrive in Cruz Bay via ferry, which provides stunning views of the island and surrounding waters. Once ashore, you'll find plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options to explore. From local markets and fresh produce stands to upscale restaurants and boutiques, there's something for everyone in Cruz Bay.

For adventure-seekers, there are countless opportunities to book land or sea-based excursions. Take your pick from boat rentals, guided tours, parasailing, kayaking, dinghy rentals, day sails, snorkeling trips, Hobie cats, or even get certified for scuba-diving.

Despite all the hustle and bustle, getting around Cruz Bay is easy and convenient. Open-air taxis are readily available, shuttling beach-goers back and forth during the day, as well as offering sightseeing tours to all the beaches and points of interest on St. John. And if you're looking to rent a car, there are plenty of services available, just remember to drive on the left side of the road!

Our vacation rental is conveniently located just a short walk to Cruz Bay, giving you easy access to all the excitement and adventure the town has to offer. Come join us and live the dream in beautiful St. John!

Insects are present on the island and the additional rain this year has created more presence of gnats and other pests.

To reinforce adherence to the house rule requiring guests to deposit their trash at the community collection site, a $500 fee will be imposed for the collection and disposal of any left-behind trash.
