About this property

Spacious 2/Bed, 2/Ba, Pool, A/C Bedrooms, Screened Porch, Wi-Fi

Harts Delight is a very large, open and spacious villa featuring two air conditioned bedrooms, two full baths, high vaulted ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops, a spacious Great Room and a large screened in porch area with views you will never want to take your eyes off! The villa was built on the hillside to capture the trade winds coming from the sea. To offer the utmost privacy, each bedroom is located on opposite sides of the villa. Spending your days lounging at the pool and eating dinner at the table on the screened in porch or the deck are great ways to spend the day when not enjoying the other parts of the island! The master bedroom has a king bed, the guest bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a king size bed for a couple or left as two twin beds to accommodate children.

Harts Delight being nestled in to the picturesque hills of Chocolate Hole on the South Shore of this beautiful island. Awaken each morning to the breath-taking views of Harts Bay and St. Croix in the distance. You will enjoy all paved roads on your way to your vacation villa. Upon coming down the driveway you will experience a home with beautiful landscaping including banana, starfruit and papaya trees that you can pick the fruit when ripe and eat right off of the tree. You will find yourself relaxing immediately upon entering the villa. Within walking distance of the Westin Resort, Harts Delight is less than a two minute drive to the popular village of Cruz Bay, offering many dining and shopping options, places to just sit and relax sip a cocktail and take in the relaxed pace of Island life.

There is a one bedroom vacation rental on the lower floor of this Villa. Both rentals share a common driveway and parking area with separate entrances and complete privacy from each other. The pool is not shared or used in any way by the lower rental and has complete privacy. The whole house can also be rented as a 3 bed/3 bath villa.

Not as expected
I had booked this at the last minute and didn't really read right that the AC was ONLY in the bedrooms. That alone would have been manageable if there was a generator for the property. Given the amount of outages on the island, this should have been a no brainer for the owner. There were cockroaches seen by all 4 of us. The last communication from the property manager was SMH when I asked about the generator on the second day. Told the property is for sale and it shows that they don't care about the renters. The beds were uncomfortable. The location was great.

Good Overall
The screened-in area that looks out over Chocolate Hole is breathtaking. The flowers on the property are beautiful, and the greenspace is well maintained. Our property manager was an excellent person who greeted us warmly and was very accessible. This property would be magnificent if upkeep and maintenance were a higher priority. Small things like a dysfunctional shower head in the main bathroom, an exit door to the pool that needs to be squared (so one does not need to lift it to open it), non-working smoke detectors, and a refrigerator that stopped working a couple of days before departure were distractions--but we were okay. If you find things like that unbearable you would have been frustrated. On-site washer and dryer are a huge plus. Comfortable beds and furniture, very clean, not so well-lighted, but inviting. It was perfect for two couples, and I would book the property in the future (I have stayed in 7 other properties on the island). Overall, I would give the property a rock-solid B.

Excellent in every way
Excellent. All as described. Gorgeous view from the covered patio. Very spacious. The kitchen is well equipped. The host was very responsive and gave good directions from the ferry. When a heavy storm drove water onto the patio, a maintenance man arrived in less than an hour in response to a text.

Wonderful Hart's Delight
The spaciousness of this house is truly amazing - huge living room and screened in porch are highlights. The porch was our "home" for our stay - it has a beautiful view of Hart Bay and on to St. Croix on a clear day. The kitchen is spacious too, pretty well stocked and with some spices and herbs there which was nice. Ice maker/water dispenser in frig. was nice too. Bedrooms are very good size and so are the bathrooms. It was very nice to have all paper products and soaps supplied. Pool is small but fine; lounge area by pool is also small. A/c and fans in bedrooms were great, as were the fans in kitchen, bathrooms and living room. It was very easy communicating with Abby who was very responsive. Driveway is steep and narrow but manageable going slow. Fresh fruit grows on trees that you can harvest! Iguana visitor likes the pool deck! All in all this is a wonderful house!

Absolutely Beautiful
My husband rented this beautiful home for my 60th birthday. Pictures do not do it justice, as this piece of Heaven captured my heart!! It has everything you can think you will need for a stay. The view is breathtaking and dipping into the pool after a long day on island is perfect. Abby met me to let me in and walked around explaining everything. She was such a help with island suggestions. If you are looking for a place in St. John that is beautiful, convenient yet quiet, this is your place! This place has my heart! I will be back to stay!!!

This property was in a great location to get to Cruz Bay. We loved everything about it - so relaxing and beautiful. The only thing we did not love was the water pressure in the master shower and the mattress in the master bedroom, but even still we would stay here again!!

The Villa was great, a perfect place to stay on ST John. Only two problems for us - we were able to connect to the WiFi but had no internet connection the entire time. Abby tried to help but it didn’t work. Also, the pool was green most of our trip. It got serviced the second to last day we were there, so we never used it.

We loved our stay. The house was large, decorated nicely and well appointed with plenty of dishes and all we needed. The pool was a good size and refreshing for our down day during the week. We loved the fruit trees, iguanas that visited, the chickens and of course the rooster! We highly recommend staying here.

We were really looking forward to our stay and were very pleasantly surprised when we walked into the villa. The Vrbo website pictures don't do this villa justice. It was very nicely decorated, super spacious and comfortable and in a Great location. Easy access to the entire island and St. Thomas. We will definitely return!

Abby is the best
The house is wonderful! Very spacious and room for everyone. The enclosed verandah was fantastic and we spent every night out there. We didn’t use the pool much but did sit out there a couple of times. We needed laundry facilities and they were lovely enough to let us use the washing machine and dryer downstairs. To top it off I would love to say how wonderful Abby is! Such a kind heart and I look forward to seeing her again!!

Can't beat the view
Absolutely stunning view from a huge screened-in porch with dining table. Small soaking pool great for cooling off after the beach. Communication with manager (Abby) was great, with local updates on the ferries (incoming tropical storm). You should be comfortable driving the roads as the trip to the house is very typical for USVI with steeps hills, blind turns, and steep driveway. The payoff is one of the most stunning views I have seen which made it hard to leave the porch to finally go to sleep each night. Minor issue was ants on one bed (typical in the area after big storms) which were taken care of by previous manager who lives in downstairs unit, nothing else to mention. AC in the bedrooms made it very comfortable at night.

Great view!
The view is fantastic and we loved the kitchen for making dinner together. We thought the pictures did an excellent job showing the actual property pool. The pool was really nice and the screened in porch is where we spent most of our time when we were home. The Property manager was extremely responsive if we had questions or needed anything. The place itself is not brand new and needs a little TLC. If that type of thing bothers you it might not be the right rental for you. It did not bother us and we were thrilled with the clean beds and clean bathrooms. The layout of the place is great because we each had our section of house - our bedroom and bathroom were on opposite sides, which gave us the privacy we wanted traveling with another couple.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Albrinck

Host profile image
My husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon on St. John in 2006 and immediately fell in love with the island even though our luggage was lost and we arrived about five hours later than we were supposed to! With no luggage or a change of clothes for the next day, we decided to take our rental Jeep around and just explore the island. I've never seen wild chickens, goats, pigs, cows, donkeys or mongoose (what are they??) running around on their own! It was a sight to see and instantly I thought to myself that this would become my place. He had three children when we got married and we ended up bringing them with us a few times over the years. Since our marriage, he and I have two amazing little girls and they know just how lucky they are to be able to come and enjoy this little bit of paradise with us. Now our older kids have their plus ones and for the last three years we have had the privilege of coming here to celebrate Thanksgiving, together as a family. I am so thankful that we are able to enjoy this island as much as we are. We hope you will find the same love for it as we do!

Why they chose this property

Why this villa? Good question. Kind of a funny thing. During our 5 year home buying research here on island, we used to get a 'home for sale book' and just explore. We would find the villas that were for sale and if the villa was empty, we would park and go peep in the windows. We did this for years and even multiple times per year. Then we went to the internet to start looking from home when we couldn't be on island. This was the one home that based on pictures alone, I had absolutely no interest in even looking at. After much pleading from my husband, I finally agreed. It would only take a minute he said. I had my mind set on another home that showed beautifully in pictures. Turned out that the home that showed beautifully in pictures was actually very run down and ended up being taken away in the last hurricanes. This home though is masonry and solid. BUT most importantly, upon entering the doors for the first time ever, I felt safe. At home. Relaxed. Peaceful. Happy. That's why this home. I have never felt any different when entering ever since the first time I walked in. Don't get me wrong, the lovely couple we purchased from had lived here for about 25 years. TWENTY FIVE years of being an artist (hanging pictures every square inch of the villa), animal lovers (I love mine too but they never turned one away.....for twenty five years.) We had a lot of work to be done. Our realtor knew my style. She just kept reassuring me that it could be amazing. She was right and so was my husband. To this day, I am thankful for that. Truly.

What makes this property unique

The absolute BEST part of this home is our screened in porch. We have rented many, many villas on St. John since 2006 and never even knew there were any with a screened in porch. The bugs love me here. Trust me though, that's only a one way street, I really dislike them, very much. I am pretty sure that they station a few of themselves at the airport and start calling over here to St. John the minute that we land. "Hey you guys....she's back!" We can come home from enjoying a day on one of the beaches, get showered, change clothes and just sit on our screened in porch enjoying a cocktail before heading out to dinner and I don't get even a bite! ok, well sometimes I do but they have become few and far between. I have been known to use the bug zapper because one or two just get determined but for the most part, it's been fantastic!

Our manager Abby is the absolute best. She has strong roots here on island. One of the very best things that I can look back and say is that each and every villa that we have stayed at taught us something. Things to offer, things not to offer. Perks. We strive to do our best to make sure that your villa experience is top notch. We sincerely hope that you enjoy your stay at Harts Delight!
