Ardisia is located in Great Cruz Bay only minutes from Cruz Bay and North Shore beaches. This five-bedroom villa is one of the finest examples of luxury living, and is ideal for families and large groups.

Located on the water with a huge pool, Ardisia offers direct access to a rocky cove. Beach towels, coolers, and bags are available for a day by the sea. Loungers sit on the sand, and an exterior staircase leads up to the pool and sundeck. The villa’s infinity-edge pool measures 850 square feet around and stretches down to the beach level. Four outdoor showers are available so guests can rinse off after a swim, and the veranda’s loungers, armchairs, and dining nooks provide plenty of space to relax. The gazebo shades a spacious living room, a dining table, and an outdoor kitchen with a stainless steel barbecue grill.

Ardisia’s interior is elegantly decorated and luxuriously designed, with carefully selected furnishings, top end appliances, and central air-conditioning. The glamorous entryway is marked by two opposing staircases and a cozy sitting area. French doors open to the terrace and draw in the harbor view. The Great Room has an all-white interior with avant garde accents, a 70” flatscreen TV with Chromecast, a BluRay/DVD player, and tons of seating. A reclaimed wood dining table sits beneath a glass tendril chandelier. The kitchen’s all-white cabinetry is accented with sparkling backsplash and stainless steel appliances. Windows and French doors abound throughout the Great Room, so guests can take in the view and sunshine wherever they are. There’s a high chair and pack and play available for guests’ use, and an office and laundry room are on the other side of the entryway.

Each of Ardisia’s five bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom, with four suites in the Main House and the fifth in a beachside cottage. A king suite sits opposite the Great Room and is equipped with direct terrace access, hillside and harbor views, and an outdoor shower. Upstairs, the three bedrooms each open to the balcony. Two bedrooms have king suites and outdoor showers, with a balcony framing two sides. The other bedroom has two twin beds with trundles that can be made up as a king, an outdoor shower, and a smaller balcony. Each of these four suites has seating and contemporary design. The fifth beach level bedroom is under the cabana and has direct access to the beach. It’s equipped with a king bed, a study, armchairs, and a tub and shower.

Great Cruz Bay is largely residential, and only a short drive from Cruz Bay, the island’s main region. Cruz Bay has restaurants, stores, and a ferry port. Ardisia villa is ideal for any family or a group of couples who want a tranquil, chic retreat on St. John.
