Life’s a breeze when you’re on holiday at the beautiful Beach Garden. Set close to the water near Great Cruz Bay, this unique St. John vacation rental offers stunning waterfront living spaces, not to mention an unforgettable al-fresco shower. In spite of its quiet location and private feel, it’s also just minutes from shopping, dining and the beach.

The space:

Watch the sun sparkle on the water from an expansive terrace with outdoor living and dining areas and an infinity pool, or pause for reflection by the koi pond or in the meditation garden. After the sun goes down, watch the stars come out from the hot tub on the terrace, settle in by the satellite television or share snaps of the day via Wi-Fi.

The villa’s impressive stonework and refined furnishings set it apart from other Caribbean estates. The house is centered around an open-concept great room with a high ceiling and rows of doors on both sides. Its living and dining areas are chic yet comfortable, and the kitchen is fully equipped. To ensure your comfort, the rooms are also air conditioned.

The four bedrooms at this luxury property can accommodate groups of up to eight friends or extended family. All four have king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and their own balconies or gardens. Two of the bedrooms face the ocean, including one with a screened-in outdoor shower facing the bay, and the others face the courtyard.
