Southern Star- Kayaks & SUPS, Steps to Beach, Ocean Views!

Summary:
Just a short drive from Cruz Bay, Southern Star offers a tranquil retreat with spectacular views of Chocolate Hole Bay. This two-story townhouse provides a spacious escape for families or groups of friends that is just a few steps from the Chocolate Hole Bay Beach.

The Space:
Upon entering the villa, you'll find the main living areas on the ground floor. To the right down the entry hallway is a King bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The open floor plan features a well-appointed kitchen, a half bath, a dining area for 8, and a comfortable living room with an entertainment system. Ten-foot ceilings and large glass doors leading to the patio create an open, airy feel. Enjoy beach views and sounds from the back patio or dine while taking in the Caribbean scenery.

Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms. The first has two queen beds, an en-suite bathroom, and a balcony with seating. Further down the hall is the more private Deluxe King Suite, featuring a balcony with stunning ocean views. All bedrooms include smart TVs, ceiling fans, AC, and elegant en-suite bathrooms.

Guest Access:
Base Price & Additional Guests:
To make it more affordable for smaller parties, the base price accommodates up to four guests. For each additional guest, there is a fee of $50 per person, per night. Please inform us of any changes to your party size, as we need to update your reservation accordingly.

Southern star Villa, chocolate hole, St. John
We absolutely loved our stay at Southern star Villa located at Chocolate Hole in St. John. We were a group of five adults and there was plenty of room for everyone to comfortably stay. The unit was beautiful and very well stocked. The property manager was extremely responsive and very quickly answered all of our texts and questions and provided helpful information About the rolling blackouts that are happening right now in St. John. We can highly recommend a stay at Southern star!

Graduation celebration trip
We were a group of Mom’s and sons celebrating high school graduation. We were happy to have Southern Star as our home base the 5 days we spent on the island. The hosts were always available and helpful from booking to check out. Wonderful experience!

Don’t miss visiting St. John!
The villa was perfect for our party of six. Nice view, comfortable furnishings (including the beds) and enjoyed the local wildlife (deer, chickens, geckos and iguanas). The location does not accommodate walking to downtown Cruz Bay and with limited parking downtown, we used local taxis. The location of the villa is quiet and great for relaxing. Four in our party were over 70 but were able to navigate the stairs for the two upstairs bedrooms. The rental team was very responsive to our questions/requests.

Wonderful Oasis
Had a lovely time with friends in this beautiful property. Was an excellent place to escape the world and disconnect for a bit. Wonderful hosts who were available and communicated throughout our whole stay.

nicely appointed inside - as long as you don't go out on the porch or for a walk around the property
No pool. There's a small beach, but it was usually crowded with small boats, THE SMELL! We were unable to have our morning coffee on the porch(es) because of the stink that smelled like a toilet had over flowed. Even when we went out for dinner, the stench would still be there when we got back. Owner was pleasant. Road needs paving. I'd not stay here again.
