Cruz Views #02 - El Capricho - Corner Condo, Water Views, A/C!

DESCRIPTION: El Capricho (Cruz Views #02) is a beautifully updated one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo in the upper right corner of Cruz Views, steps from the pool. It offers stunning vistas overlooking Cruz Bay and the surrounding islands and convenient parking right outside the unit.

Recent Updates:
- Full air conditioning (mini splits) now cools the entire condo, ensuring a comfortable stay year-round.
- A new washer and dryer are available for guest use, offering added convenience.
- The bathroom has been fully renovated to create a more luxurious, spacious, and zen-like retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun.
- The living room has a pullout sofa, which can comfortably sleep 1-2 extra guests.

Returning guests will love the new features and upgrades, and first-time visitors will be captivated by El Capricho's spacious wrap-around deck and inviting atmosphere. Relax on the new sectional couch on the front deck, where you can enjoy views of the pool and beyond. The new screened sliding glass doors lead you inside, where colorful and cozy décor welcomes you. The stylish new pullout sofa and chair provide comfortable seating, perfect for enjoying your favorite shows on the 43-inch flat-screen Smart TV.

The kitchen, conveniently located just behind the living area, has been updated with new cabinetry and countertops. It’s equipped with a 4-burner glass cooktop, a combination toaster/convection oven, microwave, drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, and blender—everything you need to prepare a meal. Dine at the table for two on the side deck or at the indoor dining table, which seats four.

Upstairs, the bedroom features a queen bed and air conditioning. You can sleep in cool comfort or open the screened window to let the Caribbean breezes and sounds of the tropics lull you to sleep. The fully renovated bathroom offers a more luxurious experience, with a spacious tiled shower and thoughtful design.

Whether you're a returning guest or a first-time visitor, El Capricho is the perfect home away from home. From this stunning condo, you can enjoy the blend of comfort, style, and the serene beauty of St. John

LOCATION: Cruz Views is tucked into a tropical hillside 160 feet above the town of Cruz Bay. The units all face southwest to capture lots of sun and picturesque views of turquoise seas by day, memorable sunsets at day's end, and the twinkling lights of distant islands at night. It's an easy walk into Cruz Bay (downhill) but the walk back to Cruz Views is a bit more challenging, especially if you have enjoyed a few of the island's infamous rum punches.

For those renting a vehicle there is on site parking at the complex. Guests will enjoy the shared pool and if you like to BBQ, there is a gas grill available for guests to use during their stay. Beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler are also included with each condo.

Nice Cruz Views Unit
We stayed 3 weeks. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Communications with the property managers was excellent. The unit was spotless. Kitchen was well stocked. View was fantastic. As an end unit, it was nice to have room to spread out on the deck as the interior was a bit cramped. We suggest that the heavy furniture be swapped out for smaller furniture. Also suggest repositioning the tv to make viewing easier. Mattress has a memory foam topper which made it very comfortable. The AC unit was a bit noisy. We slept with the fan on and AC off. Overall a very nice stay. We'll be back.

Take me back!
We usually stay at the Westin and are so happy we tried Cruz View Villa. It was perfect for our family. The view from the balcony we enjoyed every morning and evening. We cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner on Christmas night in the fully equipped kitchen. The kids enjoyed the pool daily, even after hours at a different beach all 10 days of our stay. We will definitely be back here for our 4th trip to St John!

My husband and I stayed here for a week on our babymoon and absolutely loved this property! The proximity to Cruz Bay makes it very convenient for accessing just about any place on the island. There is a grocery store as well as several restaurants right down the street. The villa was very clean and well maintained. Our favorite parts of our trip were enjoying coffee on the front porch every morning and watching the sunsets in the evening. The views cannot be beat. We’ll be staying here again next time we’re in St. John!
