Where Dreams Come True

Cinnamon Day Dreams is a luxury villa with magnificent views located on the StJohn USVI exclusive North Shore. Most of the living areas are on the main level. The trade winds keep the villa very cool, and as a result, there is no A/C. For more information, check out our site DayDreamsSTJ.

The name Cinnamon Day Dreams is an accurate description of the setting - private, peaceful and quiet…. perfect for daydreamsSTJ. You’re located 830 feet above CinnamonBay and the views of Tortola and the USVINationalPark in the foreground are absolutely gorgeous. Cinnamon Bay and Maho Bay lie below you and offer excellent swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, wind surfing, sunning and stress free relaxation. The villa is a 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay and the last 1/2 mile is a bumpy dirt road intended to discourage tourists from exploring this quiet neighborhood. For the most adventurous among your group, try hiking down hill to Cinnamon Bay Beach. It’s 20 minutes down hill and the 40 minutes up hill return is challenging. Consider yourself warned!

Cinnamon Day Dreams is located in the exclusive Catherineberg neighborhood of St. John overlooking gorgeous Cinnamon Bay. You are walking distance to the historic sugar cane ruins once owned and operated by the Danes. This neighborhood is one of St. John's most beautiful and desirable neighborhoods. In this unspoiled setting in the midst of world-class National Park beaches, you're surrounded by a naturalist's world of sea, sky and pristine park lands. A short driving distance from Cinnamon Day Dreams are Cinnamon Bay Beach, Hawk's Nest Beach, Trunk Bay Beach, Maho Beach, and Francis Bay Beach. If you value tranquility, natural beauty and the feeling of being alone, this is heaven on an island.

Covid Precautions: We value your safety and the safety of our management team. As a result, we offer a touch-free experience for our guests. Only during strict emergencies would you have to interface with our staff. Directions and access instructions to the villa are provided once your reservation is booked.

Bedrooms. The two bedrooms are equal in size (about 225 sq.ft.) and each includes a private balcony or deck with elegant mahogany cabinetry and Saltillo-terracotta tiled bath. All the bedrooms include custom built mahogany 4-poster beds that emphasis privacy and the romantic views. The third bedroom is located in the spacious upstairs loft.

Kitchen. The gorgeous kitchen is defined by granite, mahogany, and lovely views seen through stone-arched entrances that run the length of the kitchen and great room. A granite and mahogany bar/counter that seats 6 separates the kitchen from the outdoor lanai. Behind the bar is a gourmet kitchen with custom built mahogany cabinets, granite counter tops, an under counter beverage cooler, Bosch 4-burner stove, built-in oven, large refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, built -in microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and abundant cookware and dinnerware.

Outdoor living area. One of the most popular design features in an island home is the lanai (outdoor living/dining area). Cinnamon Day Dreams takes great advantage of its lovely setting with its comfortable 500 sq.ft. lanai. This is more than a deck with furniture; it’s an outdoor living area with comfortable furniture and a 6 person dining table that protects you from the sun and the occasion island shower. From the lanai you look through columned arches at the beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea, Tortola and the unspoiled National Park.

Pool and patios: Renovated in 2019, the villa is notable for its expansive infinity-edge pool, terrace and large hot tub. The 2,000 square feet meandering terrace on the main level overlooks the Caribbean Sea and Tortola. Well manicured lounging areas take full advantage of the views and are a great spot for supervised children to play.

Fire pit: Newly added in 2019, the fire pit is a great place to spend your evenings to talk or reminisce about the happenings of your day.

The photos leave no doubt that Cinnamon Day Dreams is a spacious, beautiful, and very comfortable luxury villa. Everything about this villa is appealing; from the bedrooms to the great room to the outdoor living area. This is a professionally redecorated, very tasteful home with a distinct sense of island elegance. Cinnamon Day Dreams is an excellent vacation home for small families or for 1-2 couples, and this romantic and beautiful setting is also well suited for honeymooners and lovers. If your travel plans include more than 6 people, Cinnamon Day Dreams together with 'Island Sun,' offers two stunning world-class villas within walking distance of each other.

Amazing Property and Views
We had a great stay with our family of six. The property was clean, well maintained, functional, and loaded up on amenities. The view is breathtaking from the rear property. Pool is serene along with fire pit, hot tub, BBQ area and tons of seating. The hot tub is great but may be ready for an upgrade, still very enjoyable with that said. The kitchen is loaded, they also have spices and oils so don’t buy all that without checking first - it’s all expensive on the island. Full laundry, good internet, lots of fans, great window air flow, football table, board games, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and coolers. Very convenient and saves on rentals to have all this. The home is in the National Park essentially so it’s quite desolate nearby. At night, the symphony of noises in the back yard is therapeutic to listen to. Oddly, there are not many hiking trail access points close to the house - so you’ll be in for a short drive for those. The location is rather central - so on the plus side, everything is essentially within 10-15 minutes away. You can hike roadside to Cinnamon Bay beach in 30-40 minutes but be ready for an exhilarating uphill return trip. On the downside, there are few things in 5 minutes or less away or easily walkable. A couple of bar/restaurants and a grocery store. A rental car is a must-have. Host was simply amazing! FYI - uphill, winding, and narrow roads are a given everywhere on this island. Driving access was no different than almost anywhere

Spectacular property!
Cinnamon Day Dreams is a truly special place. The back patio/lenai has amazing views and the property is very well maintained. The location is great -10 minutes to Cruze Bay and 10 minutes to the best north shore beaches. Be aware that the roads are quite windy and unfinished, so it is important to feel comfortable driving a 4x4 Jeep on some fairly rough and steep terrain. Michelle was super helpful and responsive. We definitely would come back next time we are on St. John.

Wonderful getaway
From the picturesque gardens as you pull in to the unbelievable views as you walk in the front door of the private grounds, pool and bay, you feel stress melting away. The villa has amazing architecture and plenty of space to spread out. It is located in a prime location where you can traverse the island easily and see both sunrise and sunset. Wonderful memories were made!

Don’t Look Any Further
How many times in life does reality meet or exceed expectations? Our family had our best vacation ever at Cinnamon Day Dreams. The home is in a one of a kind setting - secluded yet close to all that St. John has to offer. The pool, the hot tub, the house - is even better than the pictures. Michelle and her team were fantastic, prior, during and even after our stay. Everything was clean. Everything worked. Primed for a luxurious stay. Only regret is it wasn’t cold enough to use the amazing fire pit. Next time. As a side note- I was anxious how we’d survive without air conditioning. Wasn’t even an issue in early July. Great breeze and house built to be open aired. The Coqui frogs and birds could get a little loud at night - but that only added to the ambience.

Quiet oasis
Loved the remoteness and quietness. The view was beautiful! We had a few issues with water pressure and the generator not automatically starting due to two power outages. My husband was able to manually start the generator and someone was sent to address the water pressure issue. I wish both main bedrooms had screen doors to keep open at night to avoid bugs coming in. But the breeze during the day was great - although We came during a hot spell on St. John and asked if we could have more fans to cool us and the owner quickly resolved that. Great center location to all main beaches and loved the quietness away from Cruz bay hustle and bustle. The view was worth it!

This is our family's second time staying at this property. We can't imagine ever staying somewhere else on St John. The house really feels like a home and is appointed with anything you could possibly need. It's quiet with stunning views. Michelle is a dream property manager. She checks on her guests regularly but is never intrusive. I can't say enough good things about this listing.

Beautiful Place
This was our second trip to St. John and second house rental. This place is truly unique as it sits in the middle of the National Park, so you feel like you have the island all to yourself! The views are simply incredible and you are very close to all the great beaches. Plus, there is the midway grocery stop just down the road and its only about 15 minutes to drive down to Cruz Bay for nightlife. Recommend this incredible place.

Wonderful St. John getaway!
Cinnamon Day Dreams was a beautiful home with an even better view! It was easy to travel to and from Cruz bay as well as a short (although steep) trip to many of the other beaches. The home was clean and the communication with the owner was great. We would recommend anyone staying here if they make a trip to St. John!

My husband and I have traveled to many places and upon arriving, he said this was the best villa I had ever found. So dreamy with beautiful views, privacy, breezes and a very relaxing place to unwind.

Celebrating retirement
We stayed for 2 weeks and had the time of our lives! The property is amazing. The views are beyond words. The pool deck and patio area is the highlight. The rooms are beautiful. The loft is stuffier, so prepare to use the fan but both main rooms sleep very well. The outdoor gas firepit is awesome, and the beaches are easily accessed, as is the downtown. Can't recommend it enough. Michelle was awesome and very attentive, but we had no issues. Will definitely return!

Luxury Vista
What was most impressive about Cinnamon Day Dreams was the host Michelle and her responsiveness to us as guests. From the time we booked until the day we left, Michelle was extremely helpful, warm and made us feel very welcome. The property is exactly as it is presented in VRBO. The outdoor living area was wonderful and we found ourselves staying at the house more than at any other time or place when we have visited St. John. It is exceptionally peaceful and the view of Tortola in the distance, and the water in between is incredible, particularly the sunsets. The pool was very clean and well maintained as was the hot tub. The kitchen had all that we needed and everything worked in the house. Michelle has someone on the island who was there to take care of any need that arose. We would stay at Cinnamon Day Dream again as soon as possible.

Perfect for a family
I have stayed at many VRBO properties over the years and have never had a bad experience. Usually, there are a few things that don’t meet expectations but Cinnamon Day Dreams met and exceeded every expectation we had. Mr Piper met us at the ferry and led us to the villa. He was polite and helpful and made us feel very comfortable there. The location can not be beat. You are close to the best beaches and far enough from the ferry that you feel like you’re in a secluded enclave but close enough that you can get to the restaurants for dinner in under 15 minutes. At night, all you hear is birds chirping and the frogs singing. Our kids LOVED the pool and hot tub and made great use of it every morning and evening. During the day we were hiking and snorkeling and loved coming back in the afternoon for a little rest before dinner. Kitchen is extremely well- set up and the laundry is right there in the main floor. Michelle was wonderful. Checking in regularly and making sure we had everything we needed. She was extremely accommodating.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Laverne

Host profile image
My husband and I are retired New Yorkers with two adult children.

Why they chose this property

In 2000, my husband and I attended a business conference on St John for the first time. I was captivated by the quaint Cruz Bay town and natural beauty of this island, and I simply mentioned to him as a passing thought, how nice it would be to own a home here.

Since that time, we traveled to St John staying at Caneel Bay Resort several times, but owning a home here was simply a dream that I didn’t believe could come true.

For my birthday in 2011, my husband planned a getaway to St John. I expected to stay at our usual spot, but this time he drove to a villa and handled me the keys.

I walked in to balloons and a sign saying ‘Congratulations on your new home’. I couldn’t believe it. I felt as though I was dreaming.

Thank you for choosing to stay at Cinnamon Day Dreams. I am blessed to share my day dream with you.
