Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cruz Bay

Beautiful view, clean condo with nice furniture and decor, walking distance to beautiful beach and pool, beach bar, great restaurant and a lunch restaurant/bar. The drivers Keshri suggests in the welcome package are great, especially the wonderful and amicable "Jeff-I" who took great care of us and could be at the condo in about 10 mins each time needed.

This property is wonderful. The resort staff is amazing, the room was perfect, and everything we wanted to do was only a taxi cab ride (or short walk) away. We will definitely look for Janee’s place again when we come back to St. Thomas!

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

a little tough to find in the rain and dark, but the location is excellent and it's the end unit on the beach next to the restaurant. the convenience and proximity to the east end goings on was excellent. theres also a bunch of snorkeling equipment, bug spray, sunscreen , etc thats left from other guests. again, super handy.

We loved staying at the Meritage Cottage and enjoyed the sunset views from the porch. It was a great base to explore St. John from. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was really helpful having Abby lead us to the house from the ferry!

That was a great stay, nice views, and very close to beach. Note that it is a murphy bed / pull down bed.

The Condo is beautiful and well appointed and the setting was superb! We travelled to different beaches each day and then spent the later afternoons on Cowpet Bay which was a nice break from the crowds.

By far the best bnb I have ever been to. The view is incredible, and the house is super clean and welcoming. Finding it initially was a little difficult but once you find it it’s super easy to remember. The hosts were great! You would have no idea they are even there unless you needed help from them. They are very kind and helped us when we had an issue(not with the house), which they did not need to do. The deck is awesome, complimentary drinks, clean pool/hot tub. I really can’t say enough good things. The bed is insanely comfortable, and the tv lets you connect to all your steaming services. Within 15 minutes to all the best beaches and restaurants on this side of the island. I will 100% be staying here again.

Marvin's place was awesome! He was super responsive, always there if we had questions. I wish every Airbnb was like his. He helped us tons, and it really felt like home. He even left us fresh fruit and local goodies – such a nice touch! Definitely recommend it. The view was amazing every morning too. Thanks for everything!

We needed a get away from busy life and found Water Island and Ray and Cheri’s place to be perfect. Can walk to Honeymoon beach , golf Cart around the island ( rent at the docks ) food at the two places that serve is excellent people are very nice and easy to get to know. I didn’t hear one police siren or ambulance all week and that’s beautiful. There is not much congestion in people , it’s just very peaceful and we will be going back for sure .

This place is 100% where you want to stay if you want a truly peaceful island get away! We enjoyed the open air set up of the property, morning and evening costal mountain winds were phenomenal. (Our April stay, the multiple mini split systems weren’t needed) We were able to watch deer, iguanas and all kinds of birds on the wrap around deck. Which also doubled as a great safe and secure play area for our kids. Mike was very friendly and responded quickly to all of our questions/needs! If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful island getaway, this property is where you need to stay.

Wanted a place to take our family and extended family of friends on a vacation they would always remember. This absolutely was that and more. Kids were in awe and so were we. Things we did include going to honeymoon bay multiple x to enjoy the beach, eat and have a few adult beverages. Went to mainland to shop & explore. Ingrid made our stay so much the better w her amazing energy. The massages from her were best I've ever had. Kids had a drum circle night and that was amazing. Our hosts son took us out on his sail boat, super exciting afternoon. The creatures at 4 elements were a fun part of trip. Hermit crabs. Turtles, lizards and cool sounding frogs. My number one recommendation would be to make sure you rent a golf cart before arrival. The walking up hills was likely good for me but I didn't like it 😂. I believe they book up quick so rent golf cart before you arrive. The property is so amazingly beautiful so worth going. Hope we can make it back another year.

Exceptional location, wonderful cottage we had a wonderful time

Gorgeous views and great island feel nestled into the hill! Barb was super accommodating and helpful, definitely and 5 star stay!

We had the best time at Limeberry House! The house and views are absolutely stunning. The outdoor spaces are gorgeous with the pool, patios and dining areas. The house was very comfortable and had lovely touches like coffee and sugar ready to go, everything you need to cook a decent meal, and a beautiful grill. The bedrooms are like 3 little cottages and are gorgeous and comfortable- bedding, mattresses and pillows were all perfect. And our hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, anytime we texted with a question they got back to us within seconds. The location is perfect for going to two of the most amazing beaches, and lovely restaurants are a short drive away. This was the perfect place for our family to explore the island and take day trips to other BVI islands during our vacation. Couldn't imagine a better place to spend our spring break.

There's not much to add as a review of Nick's wonderful home that hasn't been said already. We just spent 10 days there for the third year in a row, and this is our third review. Because of the 4 king bed rooms (two on each side of the center living area), his place can certainly accommodate four couples with plenty of privacy (our trips have been just my wife and myself), each bedroom and a number of outdoor dining and relaxing spots all having world class views of the Carribean from about 200 feet above the sea. Being right above a nice beach provides a constant sound of waves hitting the beach that adds to the ambience of the villa. The villa is well equipped (we cooked every meal there), clean and comfortable. Has WiFi and TV's for those who need or want Internet access and entetainment. Nick (the owner) and Jon and Jude (the on island management team) are terrific people and very accommodating. We hope to be back again to our personal favorite vacation spot on the planet.

the view is just lovely! I recommend having a vehicle if staying here , as it is up a steep winding hill and it's not necessarilysafe to walk it. Has ac, kitchen amenities, coffee, a vending machine outside and a cute little pool. I enjoyed my stay very much!

We had a great week at David's place, the description is exactly as described however take note you should consider taxiing up the hill to get there, especially in the evening, as it can be steep. It is St. John, so roads are narrow, and it does get dark. All the amenities in the unit were as described, we had everything we needed plus some things we didn't expect. David was very responsive before and during when we had questions and there is a very thick personal guide-book to everything St John when you get there if it is your first time visiting. Well worth the money spent for a great week on the island, this was our third time there and our best stay yet. Thanks.

Shellie’s place was just as it was described! It was in walking distance to Sapphire beach, there was a restaurant in the same building, and it came with a lot of amenities that we were looking for. Her place was also close to Red Hook, where we were able to catch a ferry to St John’s for the day. Would highly recommend!

Myrla was the very best in helping us during our wonderful stay at her place. The view is gorgeous. The studio was comfortable. We went to many of her recommendations and were quite pleased. If you are coming to Magen’s Bay, she is the best

This place was gorgeous!! Lots of wildlife just in the area, saw hermit crabs, lizards, chickens, and fish down at the beach. Sapphire beach has lots of restaurants to enjoy, and PANGEA is to die for! With locally sourced food, we ate there almost every day during our stay. Our one downfall was not renting a car, which the hosts recommended. BUT there were plenty of taxi options and locals were all very friendly. Loved shopping in downtown Charlotte Amalie, and enjoying the live music at Sapphire beach. Hosts had snorkeling gear delivered to us free of charge as well. The HIGHLIGHT of this property is the private pool and back deck. You could hear your neighbors, but not clear enough to hear their full conversations. Definitely enjoyed floating in the pools in the AM with a book. OVERALL, it was a great trip and would DEFINITELY stay here again. Thank you Kim and Laverne, for the wonderful place. And thank you St. Thomas for letting us enjoy the island life.

The villa at House of Open Arms was the perfect home base for our honeymoon. The views are breathtaking, the grounds and gardens pristine, and the villa was incredibly warm and inviting. We loved how quiet and peaceful the villa and Coral Bay were. Catherine went above and beyond to ensure our arrival to the island and drive to the villa was seamless. She is also a fantastic cook - our welcome dinner was 10/10! We couldn’t have asked for a better hostess or home for a week. I wish we could give Catherine more than 5 stars! Thank you everything, Catherine! We will be back!

The location of this condo is so perfect!!! You are literally steps away from a one stop beach that has rentals for jet skis/parasailing/a small marina to rent boats/kayaks really anything you need. They have food and drinks at the amazing beach side bar, plus coffee and ice cream at the beach buzz…I’m so happy I found this gem, the host was amazing my only regret is not staying longer!! Also if I could do the trip over I would rent a car(the prices for taxis haves increased since 2022 by nearly 2 times what the taxi commission says is the legal charge for 2022)..the only upside was we were on the safari route which I used and liked a lot(just need to add an extra hour buffer time in case it’s running slow like on cruise ship days).. If you just have a back pack then you can walk from airport to the safari bus stop(if you plan on just going to Red Hook/Coki Beach/Sapphire…I would avoid taxis at all cost on my next trip(they are overpriced and rude on this island)

The condo is super private and in a beautiful location. Walkable to Sapphire Beach. You'll have Pangea and Sea Salt restaurants also walkable and Beach Buzz coffee shop as well as the snack bar at Sapphire. All of this is walkable. The condo is big enough for 3 people max I'd say. Chris is a great host. Friendly and responsive.
