Nancy's Folly Villa - Fabulous Home - overlooking dazzling Rendezvous Bay

Nancy’s Folly is located above Rendezvous Bay on the southern shore of St John known for its gentle, continuous breezes. Take in sweeping views of numerous turquoise bays spanning Ram’s Head point on your left to St Croix with its sparkling lights directly in the distance and Boatman Point to your right. Situated in a quiet, exclusive neighborhood only 5 minutes to downtown Cruz Bay (2.25 miles), it is lush with bougainvillea and orchids. Nancy’s Folly is the perfect place to relax while enjoying the soothing sounds of the local coqui and lapping waves below.

This beautiful home has two bedrooms (one king and one queen), each with A/C, and two baths. The King Bedroom has sliding doors overlooking the bay and an ensuite bathroom featuring a large stone shower. The Queen Bedroom has a comfortable four poster bed and a large shower in the adjoining full bathroom.

The newly updated breezeway to the entry has only four steps to the pavers surrounded by glorious orchids and an organic herb garden .

The floor plan of Nancy’s Folly is all on one level, so it’s great for all ages! The Great Room and King Bedroom have smart TVs with Firesticks already loaded with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Peacock/NBC Sports and News, Pandora Music and more. There is free WiFi, indoor and outdoor dining areas, new washer & dryer, hair dryers, beach towels, beach chairs, beach towels, courtesy snorkel equipment, various coolers and more.

Luxuriously outfitted with 100% cotton Italian bed linens, plush Turkish cotton Bath towels, hair dryer, soap, shampoo and conditioner.

The spacious 40 foot deck with outdoor teak dining set, conversation seating and comfy lounge chairs is the perfect place to relax after a day of beach exploration or enjoying your morning coffee while watching the local bananaquits flock to the hanging sugar feeder.

There is a fully stocked kitchen with a new French door refrigerator, gas oven, microwave, toaster, convection toaster oven, blender and dual Drip/Keurig Coffee Maker.

The cistern water is triple filtered with UV light ensuring clean water at all times.
A Weber Propane grill on the garden side makes it easy to enjoy dining in-house while the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze.
An onsite generator lets you rest assured that there will be electricity at all times.

Very private home with quiet onsite manager residing below.

Beautiful gem of a get away!
This was a beautiful home with everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips! It was sparkling clean and comfortable. Views off the balcony were stunning and the neighborhood was charming and quiet - tucked away from the main areas, but close enough to access the whole island! A beautiful gem of a get away for our family vacation!

The villa was extremely clean and well maintained. It was actually nicer than the pictures indicate. Great view. Close to Cruz Bay. The contact person who lives downstairs was helpful, informative, and accommodating (and we barely knew she was there). We definitely recommend.

Nice Villa!
We enjoyed our stay at Nancy’s Folly. Jackie was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to a couple of minor issues during our 9 day stay. The Villa agency made our taxi reservations for us removing one layer of travel planning for us! The views are quite beautiful from the Villa and it’s in a very convenient location. All in all a wonderful visit.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Nancy's Folly Villa. Elise coordinated with us to wait for us at the jeep rental place and show us to the rental. She also gave us tips for restaurants and things to do. The location was wonderful, short drive to Cruz Bay, great views. The kitchen was well stocked to cook a few dinners. They had all the beach things we could want: chairs, coolers, flippers, even snorkels. We hope to be back soon!

Love-Love-Love this Location!
Nancy's Folly is the perfect location -- mid-height on hill, south side so not too windy and a mere 8-minute drive into Cruz Bay and its restaurants and shops. The driveway into Nancy's Folly is steep but fully paved and otherwise a dream compared to others on the island I've experienced. But the #1 feature that lured me in to Nancy's Folly: The Porch! With the hot Caribbean sun, shade coverage is important, and the long, covered porch -- complete with outside dining for 4, loungers and conversational "hang out" seating -- is absolute perfection. I spent a lot of time enjoying the porch and its beautiful views, including watching the cute little yellow Bananaquit birds that flew up to dine at the bird feeder. The A/C in the bedrooms worked well and with the ceiling fans made sleeping wonderful. However, the un-air-conditioned main living space could get really warm when the breeze was soft. Elise, the property manager, was responsive to unanticipated issues and made amazingly speedy efforts to correct. Thank you Nancy's Folly and Elise for a very enjoyable week!

Incredible Views - Everything You Need
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay (5 days in May). The house is clean, spacious, has everything you need…reasonable wi-fi, good kitchen, lots of beach essentials (snorkels, towels, chairs, coolers, etc.), and had a truly breath-taking view. Rent a Jeep or a Bronco - roads on the island are laughably hilly / twisty and getting here was no exception. We didn’t spend much time in the house (we were there for the beaches!) but it was a wonderful home base. The balcony was an ideal location for morning coffee or a sunset cocktail. Would gladly stay here again!

Pictures don’t do this place justice
This property is absolutely incredible! It’s even nicer in person than it appears in photos. The AC units in the bedrooms work incredibly well and make it very comfortable to sleep at night. The main area can get pretty warm, even with the breeze rolling through, but we were fine with it because we spent most of our time in the villa out on that beautiful patio admiring the view. It’s a steep climb to the villa, but that should be expected in St John. Would absolutely recommend this villa and I can’t wait to return!
