    💧Important: Water Notice

    Please be aware that tap water at this property is rainwater-fed and is not suitable for drinking. A non-potable water sign is displayed in the unit as a reminder. Not to worry — a convenience store stocking fresh mineral water is just a short stroll down the street!



    🚶Accessibility Notice

    Please note that Villa Island Paradise features a few stairs throughout the property. If mobility or accessibility is a consideration for your stay, we recommend keeping this in mind when booking.

This stunning villa is home to 7 beautifully appointed apartments — and this listing is for one private apartment within the villa.

    🚗 Parking Notice

    Villa Island Paradise has 3 parking spots available in front of the property, as well as street parking nearby — giving you plenty of convenient options! Please note that parking spots are shared across the villa and are not assigned to any individual unit, so we're unable to guarantee availability. We recommend having a backup plan, but in our experience there's almost always somewhere close by to park!



    🚶Safety Notice: Walking to Cruz Bay

    If you plan to walk from the property into Cruz Bay downtown, please be aware that there are no sidewalks along the route. You will be walking along the side of the road, so we strongly urge all guests to stay alert, walk single file, and be extra cautious of passing traffic — especially at night. It's a beautiful walk, but your safety is our top priority! 🙏

Perfect location and amenities

The villa is strategically located close to Cruz Bay and on the main thoroughfare for transportation to the other end of St John.The villa setup was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well equipped. Provided beach supplies were quite handy.We plan on booking again.

Lovely escape

On getting to property I had a little trouble finding it but once there it was great. Very close to the grocery store and a short walk into town. It is an uphill walk to the property, past the market, on a road with little sidewalk however, the view from the deck more than made up for it. The deck is large enough for morning yoga and reading as you watch the sun go down. The property was clean, and had everything I needed for a quick getaway. I would stay there again.

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!Whatever you do, please don’t book any properties managed by Bijou Properties - who call themselves “The Happiness Team” - that’s the last thing they are!The actual apartment was just about OK, but a bit shabby and were surprised to discover the 2nd (cubicle) bedroom was not within easy reach of the restroom - it would require unlocking two sets of sliding glass doors to get there!Between booking on Wed and leaving the property on Sunday (we stayed just one night), I received over 24 messages.Being the lowest of low season (hurricane season), I thought they would give me an early check-in - they would not budge, even though the property was clearly empty. They wanted to charge additional funds on what was already a totally overpriced property.I woke up Sunday morning with a message saying that the team had noticed I had arrived with an additional friend and could I clarify this because there would be an additional charge of 75! We had brought a friend back for celebratory birthday drinks before we went out for dinner. I now felt stalked and had no idea there’s a camera at the entrance. It was a very unpleasant feeling wondering if we were being watched.Checkout was equally unfriendly with the threat of charging 500 (yes, you read that right!) for any garbage left at the property.At this point, feeling like we were being watched, threatened with additional fees constantly, we decided to leave the property early and catch an earlier ferry to St

Disappointing and run-down property: cheap, old, very uncomfortable furniture (except for the bed, which had a good mattress;) flimsy locks, a pile of scrap plywood leaning on the wall at the entrance; patio door almost completely clouded over and its screen torn and patched with duct tape; kitchen drawer falling apart; needs paint throughout; etc. TV not watchable (no cable or channels to watch and streaming was impossible (buffering every 10 seconds;) slow internet, no microwave, warning that if we didn't carry our trash out there would be a $500 (!!) charge; warning to not use "excessive electricity;" water undrinkable per management; only 2 flimsy bath towels for the week. We did appreciate the decent mattress and that beach chairs were provided. Laundry facilities appreciated, but that was an extra charge--a disappointment considering the premium price for the unit. We had a break-in (he hopped over the guardrail right into the apartment) but my wife scared him away. Management was informed and they said they would "look into it" but they never got back.
