St. John Villas by

Blue Skies is located in Great Cruz Bay, on the south side of the harbor. Great Cruz Bay has always been, and remains, an upscale and preferred neighborhood that is very popular with our guests.

Blue Skies sits on a small hill overlooking the harbor, about 120 yards back from the water and 90 feet above sea level. This setting gives you three different and picturesque views. To the east lies Chocolate Hole Harbor and the south shore, to the west are colorful sunsets and views of St. Thomas, while the scenic north view looks out at sailboats floating on Great Cruz Bay. It's a short drive (6-7 minutes) on paved roads to the restaurants and boutiques of Cruz Bay. Its also a short walk (5-7 minutes) to the three restaurants, beach, fitness facilities, spa and shops at the Westin Resort.
Despite being very convenient, this location is also quite relaxing, private and peaceful.

This is a 2-level, 2-building design with the living/dining and kitchen areas and two bedrooms/baths in the great house, while the other 2 bedrooms/baths are in the guest cottage on the lower level. You park below the great house and ascend stairs to the deck of the great house and enter into the great room. Decks wrap around the great house and the guest cottage and give you 200 degree views, all day sunshine and cooling breezes. A grand stairway leads down to the guest cottage, the pool and the lower sundeck.

The tiled living room with its high ceiling, skylights and Caribbean pastel colors is bright and cheerful. It is furnished with rattan furniture, Caribbean flavored artwork and other accessories. There is a cable color 32" flat screen TV with DVD and multiple speakers, and a stereo/CD. You may dine in the main house, or on either deck.

A small bar separates the kitchen from the great room. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare tasty meals, including a microwave oven, electric stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, toaster oven, coffee maker, blender, pots and pans, and assorted kitchenware. A gas BBQ grill, telephone and beach chairs are also included. The guest pavilion also has a small kitchenette. A washer/dryer are located in the laundry room.

The two bedrooms in the great house have king beds while the two bedrooms in the guest cottage have queens. All four bedrooms are air conditioned, and they are fully screened if you prefer the natural air conditioning of the trade winds. All the bedrooms are tiled and have a tiled bath and shower, and all have a small private deck or patio off the rear of the bedroom. The two bedrooms in the guest cottage share a kitchenette with a microwave oven, coffeemaker, sink, cabinets and kitchenware, plus an alcove with a table for two.
