About this property

Villa Ixora Sleeps 2-10 people~ 5 bedroom, 4 bath, pool, hot tub, AMAZING views!


As you leave the powder white sands and calm turquoise waters of Maho Bay, you travel a national park mountain road bordered by towering palm trees and other lush vegetation. At 1000 feet you ascend a steep private drive and behold a gorgeous Caribbean villa opening to spectacular views; you've arrived at Ixora.
Ixora is the former home of the late Stephen Ambrose bestselling author and historian.The HBO series Band of Brothers was based on his book.
Your sense of awe will be further enhanced as you step inside Ixora and survey this very beautiful and private, 5 bedroom, 4 bath, luxury home. Ixora consists of 3 traditionally styled buildings connected by decks, tiled walkways, and a garden patio.
A 60 foot pool, surrounded by a 75 foot deck, a dining gazebo, abundant deck furniture, and stunning views provide a delightful daytime playground. At night the low voltage site lights, the breathtaking view, tranquil privacy and the fabled Caribbean moonlight all combine to produce an irresistibly romantic, peaceful, and relaxing evening setting.

The price is based on the number of people who occupy the property. Nightly rate is based on a 1-4 occupancy. Each additional guest above 4 is charged a per person per nights fee. Please enter the correct TOTAL number of guests including children when booking the property. Only paying guests are allowed on the property.

Stunning Views! Island Oasis!
This property is gorgeous! The 3 separate buildings add to the island feel. The main building opens on all sides to enjoy the breezes. The location is great for beaches, Cruz Bay and Coral Bay. Although there is no air conditioning, the breezes and fans lend to a good nights sleep. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean was delightful! The only issue we had was with the mosquitos - with no AC, the main building was open and it got a bit buggy. The bedrooms have screens, so no issue there. Bring lots of bug spray and enjoy!

Family Trip
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ixora. The villa made for a very relaxing setting and we enjoyed the beauty of Coral Bay from the deck at the house. Would be a great property for multiple families or families with older children.

Family Vacation
We enjoyed our stay at Villa Ixora. The home was well situated for exploring the entire island and felt private despite it's location near a main road. It was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There were plenty of bath and beach towels as well as coolers and beach chairs. Our only complaint is that water leaked in around the windows/through the walls in one of the bedrooms every time it rained (which it did for a little bit on several days of our vacation). One night of particularly heavy rain led to water leaking from the ceiling in two different areas (onto our bed and next to our bed onto the floor). From the looks of the ceiling this was not the first time this had occurred. We were told rain might come in from the windows and we should close them if it rained, but this water came in even with the windows closed.

Girls trip
Beautiful villa, perfect for four ladies ready to get away from the snow. Everything you need for a great stay, comfortable and safe. We brought in groceries for breakfast and cocktails, ate a lete lunch to avoid driving the winding roads in the dark. Be prepared to rent a jeep to get around, and drive on the left side.

Near Perfect
This house was everything we needed for a comfortable 2 family vacation. The villa design allowed for privacy and space to spread out. Our kids loved the pool and the adults loved the views which were truly stunning. The kitchen was fully stocked with any accessory we could need and the house was also stocked with plenty of beach and bath towels. You don’t need to bring extra. The only negative was we did have one day of rain and the master bedroom window seal was compromised so there was a bit of water that puddled on the floor but it was easy enough to sop up with some towels and move on with life. Definitely saw our fair share of jungle critters but if that’s not your thing, don’t come to the Caribbean. In an open air villa, you need to expect some sharing of the environments :) We would not hesitate to rent again.

Wonderful Summer Stay
Property is beautiful and as described. Everything was there that we needed for cooking and trips to the beach. We kept the windows open for a constant cool breeze during warm evenings. Experienced some bug bites indoors. Overall was a very enjoyable stay. The views, pool and landscaping are amazing.

As good as it looks
We went to St. John as a group of two families and had a great one week stay at Ixora. What you see in the pictures is what you get, the property is fantastic and the views are incredible. The managing company does a really good job, are responsive, and are there for the guest if any need arises. Overall, a great vacation for us.

Excellent layout and a accommodations for 10.
Perfect layout for 6 adults and 4 children under the age of 5. Exquisite views of the ocean. close proximity to the main beaches. Lovely family experience. Three issues to think about: accessibility to good food is a problem, bugs and no A/C. Not so much an issue with the property but with the island of St John itself. There is a continual breeze and we are not an A/C family so we were all comfortable. Also, the property was clean and orderly however behind and under beds (where bugs hide) it could use a thorough cleaning. My family made many wonderful memories here. It was perfect for gathering, relaxing and playing together.

Great stay at Villa Ixora!
This property is perfectly located with beautiful views and easy access to the best beaches. The rooms and living area gave us everything we needed. The property was well stocked with beach towels, beach bags, beach chairs, etc. There was no air conditioning but plenty of breeze and we were more than comfortable. We hope to come back again!

Great and easy
An ideal property for a group with center building for living, dining and hanging out. The outdoor are is enormous with very good seating for lounging as well as dining. Bedrooms are great and allow for time away from others. Some have mentioned no ac but the breeze at top of mountain. Bring some no seeum spray just to refresh if you have any issues with some bites. And frankly unless you traverse the island in a h to m ti ally seals bubble, you will get a few bites. Would return for sure And the mgmt group was great!

Great Christmas
Stay was wonderful, property has well stocked kitchen and a great lay out. Check in was easy especially since our flights went wonky and our arrival time changed last minute. Property manager was knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations for food and groceries. The villa book has great information and I was able to book a half day charter from it easily. I do agree about not wanting to be out after dark but that's a st john thing

Amazing time with family
We’ve stayed at many places around STJ and Ixora ranks right at the top. From the beautiful home, to the amazing pool, views and beyond it was all great. James and JP were super easy to work with and very responsive. One day the water in the house stopped working and they had someone out to fix it by the time we finished the Reef Bay Trail. Perfect location for easy access to north shore beaches as well which made it easier with the kids. 5/5 stars.

Paradise!
Eight friends spent a week at this villa and had such a great time! The villa’s kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The set-up of separate bedroom buildings was ideal. We loved having the pool and hot tub for evenings after spending each day at the beach, hiking, or shopping. We arrived in the middle of a torrential rain and flash flood warning which caused some water issues in one room in particular with a leaky ceiling, but it improved as the weather improved. Overall, this was a beautiful location and a very enjoyable stay. We would love to return again!

NO A/C!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just gonna leave that Title for my review in case you make the same mistake we did when booking this house. Hopefully it helps someone else. Before we booked we read everything, all the reviews, the description etc. Our Final payment was due in July- and I still went back and checked reviews just incase any one had anything negative to say as this was A LOT of money for the week, NOTHING. We get onto St. John and contact JP and he meets us at the house. Right when we walked in, my husband asks "Where's the thermostat for the A/C?"- JP quickly replies, "there isn't any". I immediately come back with, "No one told us, it's not listed anywhere, etc" and he says "yeah well its on their website" and storms out of the house without giving us the gate code to get in. My husband had to yell after him to get it and he told us the code as he slammed the door in our faces. After he left, my friend and I literally checked VRBO listing, even checked their regular page in case it may have been missed on VRBO. Nope. Nothing. No where does it state that it doesn't have A/C. It just simply doesn't state it at all. Now, I feel that that's a little shady to not inform people of something like that, if we had known we would have booked another property. Not to mention there were 4 fans in that house that didn't even work. So I contacted the property manager off site (not grumpy JP) and he sent him to buy us 2 more fans for our rooms. We were miserable. There were bugs everywhere! And the Pest control guy finally came the morning that we were leaving at 9am on Thursday. Waterbugs (Roaches) , huge centipedes, mosquitos, wolf spiders EVERYWHERE. I'm not going to be negative for this entire post because the house itself was beautiful, the view was beautiful. But that's it. I feel like I was tricked into thinking there was A/C and we had already spent all that money. Won't rent this house again. We will hopefully find something better with nice property managers that live on the island. Happy Anniversary to us!

Great location, they community showed us a lot of love, it is about 20mins away from the town so make sure you have a jeep rental, and know you have to catch the ferry to get to st Thomas. I absolutely loved my stay here, will come back again, villa was stocked with everything you need, make sure you stop by moes fresh market for groceries! Beautiful view that will bring everlasting memories! JP was very kind and informative of everything! Thank you for a great vacation stay!
