Nestled into the hillside above the bustling and eclectic harbor town of Cruz Bay, sits this modern-day vacationers’ oasis. A beacon welcoming you to the beautiful island of St. John — the perfect slice of island life called The Hills.
You’ll be greeted with panoramic views of neighboring islands and sapphire-blue waters surrounding St. John. The chirping of song birds and the wind dancing through the palms will instantly transport you miles away from the ordinary, towards paradise.
Stroll from room to room surrounding yourself with modern luxury. Relax in the air-conditioned comfort of your private home watching the ships traverse the waters, amazing sunsets, and revel in a feeling of pure and utter relaxation as you think to yourself, “This is where I belong.”
Get in a quick workout at the fully equipped fitness room then cool off with a dip at the Clubhouse pool. During sunset, walk to the Clubhouse to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine.
Feel like venturing out? Head down to Cruz Bay, where an amazing array of international cuisine awaits you. End your day with a cocktail on your private veranda basking in the memory of a day well spent.
Elevate your vacation experience. Set your compass and head for The Hills.

Great overall. Nicest place we have stayed at in a decade of visits to Saint John. Well situated, easy access to Cruz bay, and loved the community pool concept.

Online pictures had a king bed upstairs and when we arrived it was a living area with a Murphy bed. Great space, but not as pictured. It may work for some but would have a been a problem if we had another couple with us. (We were a group of seven). Our stay was interrupted by a 48 hour power outage for the entire island. Unusual in length but not in occurrence for St John. We were very surprised that a villa this size did not have a generator. If you wear a CPAP, as do two in our party, bring some sort of battery. Not having electricity we understand, but this meant not having water or being able to flush toilets for 48 hours. There did not appear to be a contingency for this. We went and bought bottled water and guest services eventually brought three gallons to us (remember seven people). We also “borrowed” water from the pool. There was no emergency kit that was stated on the check in list. We had one flashlight but no batteries. And only one bedroom had windows that opened which would have been nice when we didn’t have air. But we couldn’t utilize the nice breeze to cool down because the windows didn't open. All that said, the property itself is superbly maintained and has a wonderful westward view. We come to St. John a lot and this is probably the first area we would stay a second time in (albeit probably in another unit with a generator or power wall) The people of the island were wonderful as always even with the added stress of the power outage.

The property was just as it was listed. The house was conveniently located to the beaches and grocery store. The house was big enough for four teens and four adults to have their own space. The workout room and pool table was great for the older teens. We would stay here again!
