Tennis Villa – Great Cruz Bay (harbor)

Tennis Villa is a graceful and alluring 4 bedroom 4 bath home with a pool and private tennis court. This one story design is child friendly, spacious and comfortable. Only a few St. John villas combine this much space and privacy with such easy access to so many activities and amenities.

Tennis Villa consists of a 3 bedroom 3 bath main house plus a 1 bedroom 1 bath detached pool house. The main house contains a large, well equipped spacious kitchen plus the living and dining areas, while the pool house overlooks the all weather surface tennis court. The arched doorways of the living area of the great house flow into a large garden courtyard that encircles a 43- foot pool. The south-facing courtyard gets all day sun and affords privacy and sunset views.

In May of 2023, the regulation size tennis court was resurfaced and now includes markings for pickleball.  Also included are tennis rackets, tennis balls, pickleball paddles and pickleball balls.  Should you be an avid player for either sport, we recommend bringing your own rackets.

In 2019, the owners added Tesla solar panels to both the main house, Tennis Villa and the guest cottage, Tennis Cottage. The battery back up system automatically kicks in should power be interrupted on the island.

A charming guest cottage, (Tennis Cottage), is located behind Tennis Villa in a concealed setting that insures that both Tennis Villa and Tennis Cottage are private and hidden from each others view. The 3- bedroom/3 bath Cottage has its own 40’ pool, kitchen and living room, a private driveway and south facing, scenic views of Chocolate Hole Harbor. Tennis Cottage can be rented with Tennis Villa as a 7 bedroom estate, or each villa can be rented separately.

– Dec. 2022 -We were a family of seven, two grandparents, two daughters with husbands and one teenage grandchild coming from three cold New England states. It was blissful to be there. We went kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, beaching, and relaxing. The weather was amazing. The house incredible, comfortable, well equipped, perfect.

Feb. 2022 – Great spot for our group of friends to enjoy. Large kitchen with 2 refrigerators. Plenty of space to cook and grill. The large great room/dining area fit all of us comfortably. Pool deck and pool were in excellent condition with plenty of seating and views of 2 bays. If you want to play casual tennis, the court is nice, just bring grip tape for the available racquets and balls.

Jan. 2022 – Large home and pool on flat property. Good for younger children as they can’t get in any great trouble.

Dec. 2021 – The Tennis Villas is perfect for a family of 8! Great space for everyone. Pool and patio view is amazing. We look forward to coming back next year!

Nov. 2021- The villa was perfect for our group of 8. All of the rooms were setup as kings for each couple with a bathroom in each one. Both the kitchen and living room area were big, so we had plenty of space. The pool was a big hit for everyone in our group as it was long and deep so everyone could swim at the same time. Though we didn’t use the tennis court, we did get an opportunity to see a couple deer on the court one evening. The property was very beautiful with lots of trees, flowers and adorable tiny lizards. The night sky above the pool area was amazing and clear 90% of the trip, so perfect for those star gazers in the group. We’ll definitely try to stay at this villa again during our next visit and highly recommend staying on St. John. Everyone is extremely friendly and it’s great if you just want a relaxing vacation with peaceful evenings and it also has the best snorkeling.

– Our stay at Tennis Villa was absolutely wonderful. We all had a great time and don’t think we could have selected a better location! Thank you!
– The Tennis Villa recommendation to us was perfect. It fit our needs. It was beautiful. A quick drive to the store and Cruz Bay. The facility was kept nicely and all the bedrooms were a great size. So glad we chose this villa!
– We want to tell you what a wonderful time we had at Tennis Villa during Thanksgiving week. The place was fantastic and a good time was had by all! Thank you!
– Our trip was GREAT! Tennis Villa was even better than pictured and the guidance and help from your staff was amazing–they made everything easy and smooth. If we were to return to St.John we would definitely stay at Tennis Villa.
