Tennis Villa plus Cottage actually consists of two separate villas. They can be rented together as a 7 bedroom villa or they can be rented separately as a 4 bedroom main house and a 3 bedroom cottage. Each property has its own private entrance but there is also a connecting walkway between the 2 properties. The spacious main house, Tennis Villa, comfortably accommodates up to 8 persons and includes a tennis court and a 43 foot pool. The the one-story custom 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 truly gourmet 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. The design of Tennis Cottage is private, tropical and comfortable.
Tennis Cottage consists of a main house and a guest house. The main house contains the living/dining and kitchen areas, plus a romantic master bedroom and bath. A large covered deck runs along the upper length of the main house and provides an excellent place to relax and enjoy the scenic views and magical Caribbean nights. The second bedroom/bath is private and cozy and is located in the guesthouse behind the main house. The third bedroom/bath is on the lower level of the main house and opens to the 40 foot pool and large sundeck.
In May of 2023, the regulation size tennis court at Tennis Villa 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.
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.
Tennis Villa is located in Great Cruz Bay in a very convenient and appealing setting. It's an exceptional spot that enjoys excellent privacy and peace and quiet, and yet it's a 3-4 minute walk to a white sand beach with swimming and boating in calm Caribbean waters at the Westin Resort. For dining options, it's an easy walk to a beach side restaurant/bar under swaying palms at the Westin or it's a 5 minute drive to the restaurants in Cruz Bay. Tennis Villa sits on a large lot on the peninsula that separates Great Cruz Bay Harbor from Chocolate Hole Harbor, with picturesque views of both harbors. Both Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole Harbor are well-established and desirable neighborhoods that consist of expensive residential villas.
Tennis Cottage overlooks Chocolate Hole Harbor with south facing sunny and scenic views of the harbor and the Caribbean Sea. Although the Cottage is the neighbor of Tennis Villa, both villas are private and hidden from view from each other. Each villa has a separate, private driveway and parking area, but a path connects the two villas and insures an easy walk from one house to the other. Chocolate Hole is a well-established, quiet and convenient neighborhood that consists of high-priced residential villas. Groceries at Starfish Market are a 4-5 minute drive and the many restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay are an easy 7-minute drive.
