Summary:
Spacious 6 bedroom, 5 bath estate with pool, hot tub, game room and gourmet kitchen. Plenty of room for family, friends, privacy/quiet time.

Panoramic views, tranquil breezes, and colorful sunsets await at Riley's Retreat on the island of St John. Nestled on the hillside in a private neighborhood, this villa provides relaxation with numerous on-site amenities to enjoy, while remaining conveniently close to Cruz Bay.

The Villa is located a mile uphill from Cruz Bay at the end of a private road. It is a very private property overlooking the ocean and the valley below. Just minutes to dining, dancing & shopping. 1.5 Miles to the nearest beach. Caneel hiking trail accessible at base of property.

Getting Around:
We recommend you rent a jeep to explore and experience the island to its fullest. We can recommend several safari style taxi drivers who also know the property well and take great care of you in your palnning, especially when staying with a large group. The Villa can easily accomododate multiple vehicles parked at the property.

Our property manager is on island to show you the house, answer questions and generally be available if there is an issue. Otherwise, you will have complete privacy.

Fantastic family getaway.

This property had everything we needed for our family. The rooms were spacious for our family of 11 adults. Kitchen fully stocked, a variety of areas to relax inside and outside. We enjoyed our early morning coffee on the comfy outdoor furniture soaking in the beautiful views surrounding us.

Excellent stay

The view is gorgeous! Come for the view, stay for the amenities. There are fully stocked kitchens, bathrooms, and cold AC in all of the bedrooms. Lots of nice touches like ergo-mats, beach towels and chairs, spices in the cabinets, extra toilet paper, etc. The pool is great as is the hot tub, with the added fun of iguanas coming up for a visit at least once a day. The coordination and communication was excellent and our stay was wonderful -highly recommend Riley's Retreat.

Met all our expectations!

Beautiful spot tucked up outside of town but still conveniently located. The property was clean, well maintained. The management staff was attentive and helpful. We stayed with 6 couples and each of the spaces worked perfectly for our group. The pool was cleaned mid-week which was nice. Laundry on-site was perfect for towels and bathing suits. Plenty of amenities including pool floats, coolers, and beach chairs. We look forward to staying again.
