About this villa rental
Featured on HGTV’s ‘Caribbean Life’, Meritage Great House has everything you need to experience paradise.
Meritage Great House is situated on a scenic hillside of the very desirable location of Chocolate Hole, Cruz Bay.
Just a short four-minute drive from the ferry dock and downtown Cruz Bay where you can find the best restaurants and shopping on the island.
The house overlooks the Caribbean Ocean which allows you to relax poolside and listen to the surf roll in from Hart Bay Beach which is just a short five-minute car ride down from the house.
Meritage Great House has 4 large, air-conditioned bedrooms each with their own private ensuite bathroom. The 4th bedroom can be either set-up with a king size bed or 2 twin beds, The house has three levels, with bedrooms on each level, allowing for privacy.
The living area and kitchen are on the top deck, fully air conditioned. You can also enjoy the gentle breeze from the Caribbean Ocean. The fully equipped kitchen with Italian granite countertops is a great place to create a feast. Or you may simply want to grill out and enjoy your BBQ by the pool.
Relax on the sundeck around the private pool and wrap around covered decks on two levels, many different gathering places for your group, and secluded places for privacy. Lay in the hammock sipping your favorite cocktail while you watch a dramatic Caribbean sunset.
From the decks, you can see in the distance the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas which make the perfect spot for morning coffee and pictures with friends & family.
We look forward to hearing from you.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2025
We loved being in a house that had a good sized living area for everyone and yet separate spaces as well as all the bedrooms were separate and had separate bathrooms attached. Great for couples traveling together and families. Our kids loved the pool and all the iguanas in the trees. Only negative was it would have been nice to have a half bath off the main living area so you didn’t have to go all the way downstairs to a bedroom to use the bathroom.

Beautiful home with 4 spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and a lovely little pool overlooking hart bay! Our favorite was the screened in porch upstairs
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Feb 2025
There are 3 great outdoor, including screened porch, for our group of 8. Loved the ability to relax together, or if necessary find a spot for quiet time. The indoor is also spacious enough for our group, but when in St. Johns who wants to be indoors!Property manager and owners were very helpful and available.
5.0 / 10.0·Oct 2021
10 amazing women ventured to the island together to enjoy the beautiful views, beaches, and the company of good friends. The location was excellent, close to Cruz Bay for activities, meals out, and the grocery store. The house was prefect for 8 and added on the cottage for the 10 of us; any more would not have worked. Rooms, spaces, and pool were excellent and as pictured in the write-up. Only negative was no A/C in living room - after a long day on the beach it was too warm to relax in there and would have loved to share drinks and card games there. It worked well for the mornings but cooking in there heated things further. But that was the only drawback, otherwise the house and storage had everything and more than needed for a truly pleasurable week.
