Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Cruz Bay

The view was gorgeous. Karen met us in our Jeep and told us beforehand we had to rent a 4-wheel drive Jeep to be able to get to her place. The drive up and down is a little harrowing. So if you are not a person who values nature enough to put up with a somewhat dangerous drive to get there, this is not for you. But we loved the place. We never had to lock the place when we left. We never used the air conditioning. We left the windows open most all the time, the whole ten days, including at night when we were sleeping. The breeze was lovely. We got to talk to Karen before we got there and after we got onto the island for help info. Karen let us use her kayak, beach chairs and her cooler; nice! She is a lovely person! I loved the isolation; all the nature! We did have to walk up and down a series of rock/cement stairs to get from the Jeep to the cottage and visa versa; it was lit from dark to about 9:30pm. We are hardy walkers. Wished we had had a few more hangers; had 6.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in St. John. Isa was so friendly and welcoming, always offering helpful recommendations and suggestions. She always made sure we had everything we need. Her home is beautiful and was the perfect place to stay on the island. The place was peaceful and her artwork was stunning. We would absolutely come back and stay here again. Thanks Isa!

We had a great stay! Plenty of room for our party of 8 to spread out! Suzy was very responsive to any requests or questions we had.

We had a great week at Down Yonder! Easy access to supermarkets and restaurants. Beautiful view. Private. Great pool for our kids. Extremely clean and nice layout.

Barons place in st thomas was very clean and a lot of space. Kitchen had everything needed to make food. I would recommend renting a car because the place is in a very beautiful secluded area on the mountain. Well worth it

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Thomas’s place! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Long Bay and a reasonable distance from Smuggler’s Cove, our favorite beach on Tortola. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the beds were very comfortable. You may be hard-pressed to cook a big meal, but the kitchen was fine for making breakfast, which is all we did there. A shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom and a window curtain in the middle-floor bedroom’s bathroom would have been helpful additions, but overall, we truly enjoyed our time here.

Very spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Great view of Charlotte Amalie and the harbor. Quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the town, but close enough to drive in for sightseeing, shopping, and dining. Central location also allows easy access to the north side of the island's beaches and restaurants. Ample parking is a huge benefit here!

First I have to say both Maria and Chloe were fantastic hosts. They went above and beyond for me and my godmother. The cottage was absolutely adorable and perfect for two people. Very clean and homey. We loved it! The surrounding view of St. Thomas by the private pool was absolutely beautiful. You could even see the view from inside the cottage. What a amazing experience. The cottage is hands down my go too when I visit St. Thomas.

Despite the mixup of the rooms, I enjoyed the resort. The staff was very friendly & helpful and gave great recommendations of activities to do on the island. The food was great in the restaurants and it was very peaceful with beautiful views.

I have to say House Aceso absolutely out weighed all expectations!! It’s even better than the pictures suggest. Kandee has thought of everything as far as amenities (there’s even a crockpot if you do choose). The main is where it’s at, the view, the sound of the wind, and decor is all top notch and just the perfect vacation vibe. The house is super clean and spacious. The bedrooms are exactly what you need. The 2 bathrooms are extremely useful for a larger group. The pool deck is fantastic as well! Book this house and you will not be disappointed!!

Nora & Bruce were absolutely exceptional host and hostess. Even before we got there she was always so responsive . Bruce checked us in and made us feel right at home from the start. His hospitality went above and beyond any AirBNB I’ve stayed in. He even dropped us off at the beaches while we were there and showed us around the island. Place was very clean, with beautiful views and excellent walkable location to Cruz Bay with all the restaurants, shopping and bars close by. I would recommend this place to anyone staying on the island. You will not be disappointed and truly have a wonderful experience and time!!

This place was amazing! So peaceful and serene, the beach is a 1 min walk from the from door, private with spectacular views and an absolutely perfectly oeaceful environment. The community was inviting and warm, everyone was genuinely happy that I was there and I felt like famiky with the way I was welcomed and recieved. The unit itself was perfect with a spectacular kitchen, AC, and private bedroom with ample sleeping for 4. This was a steal at the cost and would use this again if I returned. The pool was not working during my trip but it did not matter as the beach was so inviting. A car is needed to see different parts of the island but there are private picturesque beaches within walking distance. Sunrises and sunsets were astonishing and breathtaking from the bluff above the private beach, a short 10 min hike. The fire pit, was a great place to meet locals and have great conversations along with a family style BBQ to bring it all together really made this place feel like home.

The view was AMAZING!! Everything about the house was great and the host was super nice and so helpful I really enjoyed myself

We had a wonderful time taking advantage of the nearby Smuggler’s Bay and Long Bay Beach. In the afternoon, the kids played in the pool. The house provided all we needed to cook at home and a quick drive to great restaurants. Heather was always available for questions. Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again! My husband and I stayed for a short stay just the two of us. At check in time the house was still being prepared but they accommodated us by letting us drop off our things and groceries- it worked out. The location is great, the view is lovely, and the beds are comfy. We very much enjoyed our stay!

This unit was very lovely inside and out. Derek was very responsive at all times and gave lots of local recommendations. Overall I would definitely stay here again when visiting Tortola.

Very nice place. Well stocked kitchen. Also had beach chairs, cooler, snorkel equipment available to use which was awesome. Easy drive to restaurants and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an incredible stay at this St. John gem! If you're looking for a private, authentic island experience, this is it. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, making us feel right at home. The house itself is a charming rustic island home with breathtaking views. We loved having two separate living spaces, perfect for our group of two couples. The provided coolers, chairs, and floaties were a fantastic bonus, and we truly felt like we were living like locals. Plus, it was wonderfully affordable for all the amenities and views. Highly recommend!

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 .

View is amazing. You are close to a few marinas, restaurants & and grocery store. You MUST have 4-Wheel drive or use their driver. The driveway/road is 1/2 mile to main street with gravel & it’s very steep. The house could use a little TLC. It is an island, I understand but the house is damp smelling upstairs. The master downstairs ceiling came down during the freak tropical rain storm while we were there. It can also use some more kitchen supplies. It is not conducive to really cooking/eating for a group. There was no laundry supplies even tho there was Washer/Dryer so bring if u want to wash clothes. Outside needs fans & citronella desperately. It’s very buggy day or night. The place is amazing and a great deal. Especially for large groups or multiple families. We would stay there again. Claudia the concierge was amazing. Lionel the driver equally great and gave us history every time we drove somewhere. I would recommend this house.

This place is amazing!!! Book it! Chris is great, communicating and staying in touch was fast answering any questions we had. Beach is an easy 7min walk. There are beach chairs available but since we didn't rent a car, we didn't use them but they are there. We rented chairs on the beach, $15 each. There is also a cooler (one big and one over the shoulder carry), we used that since that was easy to carry on our walk. Other beach essentials are also provided so was a huge plus for us. AC worked great no issues with keeping the place cool, the bed was very comfortable. Full kitchen which I was happy some of the "extra" people leave behind are left or just provided....condiments, salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. since grocery's can be pricey. Cabs are pretty easy to get/find. Pool was great, I enjoyed the floaty since I just wanted to float while my husband did swim. 100% want to come back and will stay here again!!

The place was excellent ! Dealt with some mosquitoes but the citronella worked fine once you lit it and generally kept the bugs away. My only critique would be for Mac to get a larger TV in the living room ! The driveway was difficult at first but manageable once you do it a few times. Awesome location near great beaches and restaurants!

Very nice. Pictures are very accurate. Comfortable. Clean. Nice.
