Get close to St. John’s abundant natural beauty with this secluded and affordable island home. Just a few minutes’ drive from Cruz Bay, HAIKU is the first architect-designed, traditional Caribbean-style house built on the island. Designed in native West Indian style influenced by the Danish great-houses, Haiku is built on one floor at ground level; it is safe for children and is wheelchair accessible. Entry is through a garden gate beyond which is a covered, open-air living/dining room pavilion made from hand-laid stone. Island trade winds keep you cool while lounging in the living room, eating at the dining room table, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the adjoining tiled patio. A garden of native flowers and trees provide shade and quiet not just for you, but for island birds and animals as well. While cooling off in the patio swimming pool (about 19' x 9' x max. 4.5' depth), you might spot one of the resident iguanas feeding on the garden flowers.
The air-conditioned Master bedroom has a bathroom shared with an adjacent air-conditioned bedroom that has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and is suitable for children or another couple. On the other side of the house, separated by the living/dining room, is a third air-conditioned bedroom that also has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and its own bathroom. Plus, there is a private outdoor shower off the Master bathroom, and a second outdoor shower by the pool where you can wash off all the sand you’ve accumulated from enjoying St. John’s phenomenal beaches.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, microwave, countertop toaster/oven, blender for cocktails, refrigerator, and plenty of cupboard and counter space. China, glasses, silverware, cooking vessels, and utensils are provided as well as place mats, dish towels, a gas barbecue grill, and other amenities to make cooking easy and fun. A washing machine, dryer, and clothesline are located behind the kitchen. Haiku also provides WiFi, a UV & Filter Water Treatment System, and a propane Backup Generator in case of island power outages. The driveway can easily accommodate three vehicles, so invite new friends over for drinks after dark while marveling at the luminous night sky.

We loved the house itself for its island authenticity. The layout was perfect for our five person multigenerational party. The airconditioned bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and thoughtful furnishings.The kitchen had everything we could think of and all the appliances worked well, including the emergency generator! I appreciated that it was stocked with dish and laundry detergents and things like paper towels.Tons of beach towels, chairs, toys, snorkeling gear, and coolers were there for our use, and we did!The pool area was very relaxing, and we loved watching the iguanas, bananaquits, and hummingbirds. St. John is a wonderful destination, and Haiku is the perfect home base.

This house was absolutely perfect. Beautiful views, nice amenities, and very comfortable. Any questions for the property we answered immediately. We will definitely be going back!

Haiku Villa is truly special. Our family of 4 stayed there for 5 nights and it was the perfect home base. The house is close to Cruz Bay, but feels private and serene. The mid century architecture adds to the charm of the home. If you live historic properties you will love this home. It has character and charm while also being comfortable and having great amenities. The generator was fantastic to have during a week of the island having no power. Instead of focusing on how to survive without power we were able to cook and wash up and go explore the island without stress. All the bedrooms have air conditioning, but we didn’t have to use it every night as the breezes kept us cool enough. There are several iguanas that live in the bushes on the property and it was fun watching them. We used the pool daily and the hot tub nightly. Communication with the host was easy. After a small hiccup after check in the host resolved the issue quickly and communicated well. Should we ever bring our family back to St John, there is no debate on where we will stay, it will be Haiku.

Haiku was an amazing villa for our group of 5. Very open design and the kids loved the pool!
