Cloud Nine! Spectacular Sunsets, Privacy, Pool, Spa & AC- Near Town & Beaches!

Cloud Nine is a private villa located on Gifft Hill, high above the tranquil blue waters of Great Cruz Bay on the Island of St John, USVI. The villa offers incredible unobstructed water views across acres of conservation land with spectacular sunsets, gentle trade winds, and the twinkling lights of distant islands.

Cloud Nine affords the comforts of traditional Caribbean architecture with casual elegance and creates a private and restful environment. The three bedroom, three bath villa frames an extra large 1,200 square-foot deck with private pool, spa, and ample space to lounge throughout the day in both sun and shade. The covered dining area is a favorite spot for meals while taking in the breathtaking views of the Caribbean sea below.

Cloud Nine is conveniently located a short 7 minute drive on paved roads into Cruz Bay where you will find a myriad of restaurants, bars and shopping options. And of course the world famous North Shore beaches located within the National Park are an easy 15 minutes from the villa.

Cloud Nine’s great room is a traditional Caribbean structure with soaring 20 foot vaulted ceiling with exposed rafters and beams. There are plenty of cozy seating options, a smart TV, Wi-Fi, ceiling fans, air conditioning, a reading nook, and dining table with a sliding glass door to the adjacent pool area.

Cloud Nine is perfectly set up for outdoor living and dining. The massive 1,200 square foot deck accommodates chaise loungers, covered alfresco dining, and plenty of open space for lounging in the sun or shade. True to the St John lifestyle, you’ll find yourself spending most of your time outside. And just wait for those magical sunsets!

Cloud Nine is conveniently set up with separate pods for both of the ensuite bedrooms, accessible via a covered walkway to the main living/dining area.

Bedroom #1 features a king bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and double doors that open onto the pool courtyard and view.

With over 60% of St John protected as a Nation Park, the island boasts some of the best beaches in the world.

Great views

Linda was great and quickly responded to the few questions we had. The information provided in advance was very helpful as well although this was our 4th visit to St. John. The location is excellent as well the views. Great sunsets every evening. This home worked out great for us and our 3 children in terms of the sleeping arrangements. This is an older home, so keep that in mind in terms of expectations. Everything worked as it should - a few recommendations we'd make are a new microwave as the current one is quite rusted inside. The water temp was difficult to adjust in the master bath shower. The hot tub has limited controls, takes a long time to warm up, and the cover is a challenge to remove and put back. There is a bright light on the AC units, so if you need total darkness to sleep in, you might want to bring a sleep mask. We found the access to the home very easy with multiple parking options (you are not fighting any kind of steep driveway). Overall we had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend this home!

Gorgeous view!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Cloud 9! The view from the deck was absolutely breathtaking especially the sunsets! The Villa was very clean and had everything we needed available to us. We were close to town and to the beaches. Linda went above and beyond to make our stay there enjoyable even going as far as to give me a ride to meet my friends on the other side of the island. We will definitely be back!

Great experience

What a great villa on St. John. The view is incredible and feels very private. The property was a very comfortable stay for my family. It is just far enough out of Cruz Bay to feel very private and quiet, but a short drive to town and easy access to anywhere on island (jeep/car required). Everything you will need is provided including nice beach chairs, towels etc. The hosts are very helpful and responsive and live on island. Five-star experience.

Breathtaking view of St. John

Our family of four spent Spring Break at Cloud Nine. We were blown away by the spectacular views when we walked in. The pictures do not do it justice! The layout was great for our family. The house was clean and kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We used Landlubber Logistics to have groceries delivered in advance which was convenient after a long day of traveling. All the beaches are a short drive away (15-25 min max) and the we enjoyed the pool in afternoons. We loved Shambles (5 min away) for dinner and ate there a couple of times during our trip. We would not hesitate to stay at Cloud Nine again!

Cloud Nine’s magical view greeted us each morning and captivated us each evening

Our family Christmas trip to St John was perfect in every way, and our stay at aptly named Cloud Nine was an ideal place for our family of 8 to enjoy the pleasures of St. John. Linda was so helpful and generous with providing lots of information and answering any question promptly. This was our first family trip since the pandemic began, and Cloud Nine on St John provided a gorgeous, safe environment for our family to come together to visit, snorkel, hike, laugh in the sunshine, and relax. Thank you!

Exactly what we needed

Our host Kim made us feel right at home immediately with perfect restaurant recommendations and a friendly helpful attitude. The property was immaculate. The layout was ideal for parents with teenagers- bedroom separate from the kitchen and living room allowed the old man (me) to go to bed and get up early while the rest of crew stayed up late and slept in. Neighborhood restaurants are excellent. Close to everything you want and need in Cruz bay but just far enough away from it all to feel like you had the island to yourself. We’ve been to the island many times over the years staying at the old Maho Bay, Concordia and many different homes and villas- this location is our favorite- clean, convenient, reasonably priced with amazing views. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality.

Cloud Nine Vacation

From beginning to end, renting this property was easy with great communication. Everything was clean and well cared for. The day would begin or end with a swim in the pool. In between were adventures swimming and snorkeling in the ocean and of course eating good food! Loved having the pavilion to have a meal and shelter from sun or a light rain. Most of all we enjoyed the fabulous views!! Just make sure to rent a jeep for STJ

I would rent Coud Nine again for sure. We loved the location. It’s a short drive to town and just a bit further to all the beaches. The house is beautiful and clean. Best vacation ever!! Must eat at Scrambles at the top of the hill across from the health center. If you want to relax on St John, cloud nine is the way to go.
