About this property

Ginger Thomas Villa in Cruz Bay

Amazing views of Cruz Bay and St Thomas, conveniently located near town with access to the ferry, shopping, grocery, and restaurants. Minutes drive to the beautiful north shore beaches. Expansive outdoor living and pool to cool off in the evening after a day at the beach. Beautiful sunsets over the Caribbean toward St Thomas.
Ginger Thomas is built on two levels with a king size bedroom and full bathroom on each floor. Ginger Thomas has spectacular unobstructed views of the Caribbean waters and neighboring islands, the town of Cruz Bay and the mountains of St. John. It is located on Pocket Money Lane, a private cul-de-sac. The town of Cruz Bay and the ferry dock are .4 miles from the villa. We suggest renting a vehicle in order to see the island and enjoy town and the beaches.
As you arrive at Ginger Thomas, the lush landscaping welcomes you to your home away from home. The main floor living room is furnished with a new queen sleeper sofa and two comfortable chairs. The gourmet kitchen has granite countertops and two bar stools. The main living area leads you through an expansive 18 foot wide sliding pocket door that opens to the large outdoor living space. A portion of the living space is a covered veranda with a comfortable wicker couch, dining table and a Weber gas grill for your convenience while you enjoy the spectacular sunset with boats sailing in the distance across the Caribbean waters. The other portion of the outdoor living space is uncovered and includes chaise lounges in the sun and a beautiful splash pool on the deck.
On the lower level, via an exterior staircase, French doors lead you to a suite with A/C and a king size bed. The room has a full bath suite and a mini fridge, Smart TV and DVD player.
There is a house generator for any power outages that might occur on island. There is a 50 inch flat screen satellite TV in the living room as well as the lower level. There is also a collection of games and books.
New service for your convenience! We now providetrash service twice a week. Thereis no trash removal on St John. Normally all trash must be broughtto the local dumpsters on the island.
The property has many amenities such as Starlink Wi-Fi, which is extremely high-speed and always available, bluetooth speakers, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, UV water purification system, Smart TV's, dishwasher, washer/dryer and A/C in the bedrooms. There is a walking path through the garden around the property.

Location, location, location!

We had a fabulous week at the ginger thomas villa! The location of this VRBO is spectacular, close to the bay, grocery stores, and the main town area, we also appreciated being so high up! The views were just gorgeous for the entire week. We also loved the access to snorkeling gear, beach umbrellas, and so much more my 1.5 year old also had a great time here, and we left behind some beach toys for future families. Highly recommend this house if you’re searching for a place to stay in the area!

Ginger Thomas Villa Excellent!!

We loved our stay at Ginger Thomas. We were two couples and the layout was great for hanging out by the pool or cooking meals in the kitchen then retreating to our own private sleeping areas. View of Cruz Bay was fabulous. Owners and property managers were great with communication and everything went smoothly. Look forward to staying there again when back in St John.

Great view & the downstairs bedroom sweet is great

We really like staying here & Karen & Dan were very accommodating. TV everywhere in the Virgin Islands can be hit or Miss. We were not planning on watching much tv, but twice during our 2 week trip we took complete rest days to watch football & graze in pizza & wings. They recorded all the games for us that we watched live when the recording started.The patio pool was great

Steps from paradise

Close to park entrance and town, very clean, nicely appointed kitchen and Comfortable beds. It was super cute and the sunset views were amazing. I’d rent this property again and recommend it. Hosts were responsive right away when I messaged them. 6 of us stayed for 4 days, it was slightly small for all of us, but with the outside patio, the living area doubles, and we werent there most until late every night so it wasn’t an issue for us. Overall this was an excellent house!!!!!

Perfect

We enjoyed our stay at Ginger Thomas villa! My family of 4 arrived on Christmas Day (kids ages 17 and 21). It was our first time visiting St. John and we know we will return. The listing of the villa is accurate. The location was quiet but close enough to walk to town. You may detest the walk back up the hill but yes, it is doable. We enjoyed eating out but did cook at the villa one night. The views are just perfect from the patio while grilling out. Communication with Karen and Dan was wonderful. I will recommend this villa to others.

This villa is a quick drive into Cruz Bay. The villa itself is charming, the indoor/outdoor living is perfect. We used the pool every afternoon after going to the beach. We can't wait to stay here again!

Close to Cruz Bay but far enough to be quiet and private! Pool and patio are fantastically relaxing. The view at night is stunning and made it necessary for a pre-dinner selfie each night!

Great Stay at Ginger Thomas

We had a fabulous time in St John and our villa added to that wonderful experience! Coffee on the patio every morning - dip in the pool after a day at the beach - watching the beautiful sunsets - doesn’t get much better than that!! And Karen was so responsive to any questions we had and so pleasant to talk to. We loved our stay and hope to be back some day!!

Ginger Thomas was a perfect house for two couples. Unbeatable views, perfect for the sunset. Five minute drive to town, plenty of markets close by. You definitely will want a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get around island. Ample outdoor space was a plus!

Wonderful beautiful home!!!

From the second we arrived we felt at home! The views were captivating. The pool was so refreshing from our long day of travel. The snacks were an added bonus and the water cooler was awesome!! The house felt so clean and inviting but I have to give 5 stars to the beds!!! We have never stayed anywhere that we were so comfortable and felt like we were in our bed at home! Even though there is no ac in the living rooms the fans and breeze kept us at a perfect temperature and the bedrooms stayed cold all night with the ac! We will definitely come back to stay!

Excellent location!

We loved our stay at this home. Kitchen had anything we could need. Nice beach chairs were a huge plus! We brought our own snorkel gear, but love that 2 sets were provided as well. AC was only in the bedrooms, not main area, so we did end up putting all 3 kids in one room. Overall a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Karen and Dan

Host profile image
Dan and I fell in love with St John on our first trip in Aug 2017. On the third day of vacation, we looked at each other and said "We must come back here as soon as we can" and then we asked ourselves "Do you think we could live here?" Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit soon after that and we fell even more in love after witnessing the tight knit community come together to recover and help one another. We knew this was our home and where we belonged.

Why they chose this property

Ginger Thomas has expansive outdoor living space and beautiful sunset views. Plenty of room for a family or couples vacationing together.
