Reefside Villa

Set on the waterfront in Chocolate Hole on St. John's south shore, Reefside Villa boasts a wonderfully spacious floor plan and a downright glorious pool area. With a large scalloped pool, plush bar pavilion, and 180-degree views of the Caribbean Sea, the terrace is ideal for evening soirees. The five king suites are private and richly appointed, and the home is completely air conditioned.

Reefside Villa’s water front location makes for lovely island breezes, and it's also one of the few villas on the South Shore that offers exceptional snorkeling access right in your own front yard! Returning home after a long day in the sun, you can relax in the comfortable great room, put together a meal in the fully loaded kitchen, or just freshen up before rolling down the hill for a taste of Cruz Bay's laid back nightlife.

  We had a lovely stay at Reefside Villa. The views from all the rooms were beautiful. The walk down to the beach was short and the beach was clean. Didn't use the beach access as much as I thought we would! Kitchen had all needed equipment but was buggy at times. The pool was amazing and needed after a long day at the beach. Very clean and well-maintained. Lots of walking when staying here but worth it. Great location! Very close to town, not walking distance, but easy drive. A lovely woman met us at our car rental and we followed her to the property and she showed us around. Very helpful staff!

  ReefSide Villa is a fantastic beach rental. Very private, with all bedrooms in separate buildings.
  Lots of spaces for family to hang out together. Pool area is great too. Cannot recommend it highly enough for large parties. Catered to Vacations is great to work with.

  Karen H from Eaton Rapids, Michigan recommends this vacation rental

  We felt old world charm in our Reefside villa in Chocolate Hole on Saint John. We ate wonderful food including the Extra Virgin Bistro exquisite food and service. We ate on the beach at La Tapa and had a really wonderful dinner there as well. Had a fun dive with the Low Key Dive shop. Massages from Cheryl and Layla. CC car rental super helpful with our late flights! Winifred from catered to was just a wonderful person to greet and settle us in the villa!
  We played in the sand and snorkeled daily. What a truly wonderful vacation . Thankyou so much to the villa managers for making us feel pampered! Place was emaculate and we would like to come back!

  Barbie B recommends this vacation rental

  This was my first time staying in Reefside and I was not disappointed! There was tons of room for everyone to have their own space, but also great rooms for everyone to gather in. Mornings out on the balcony were lovely. The pool was outstanding and was used daily. It was great to have the access to the water and we snorkeled in Chocolate Hole several times and the snorkeling was better than some of the beaches. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed for the little bit of cooking that we did. Each bedroom was very spacious and comfortable with a lovely en suite bathroom. This was the perfect distant to town and the north shore beaches, not too close and not too far. This was the perfect escape!

  Amy C from Mechanicsburg, PA recommends this vacation rental

  We just returned from a one-week stay at Reefside Villa and could not have been more pleased with our stay. It was a perfect villa for our group of 9 and we felt like it was our own resort with each couple having their own separate mini-villa. Everything was sparkling clean, comfortable, and in good condition. Each suite offers something special and unique! The pictures, while accurate, just cannot adequately show the spaciousness of the property. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked and bigger than expected. The living room, dining room, and study were also bigger, better and more comfortable than expected. The pool was deep and much bigger than we thought it would be. Other things like the bedding, towels, beach chairs, and provisions of the home all exceeded our expectations.
  
  I loved accessing Chocolate Hole and snorkeling right from our beach here though I would not describe it as sandy. Yes, the one issue of the home is that the laundry room is only accessible within one of the suites, but I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this villa, unless you are bringing children or anyone with mobility issues. It is simply a gorgeous home and you will love it!

  a guest from St. Augustine, FL recommends this vacation rental

  My family loved the Reefside Villa home and the management company was very helpful and responsive. I found that it was very beneficial to work with the on island management company. I received pre-trip tips and information that were very helpful. I traveled with my parents and older children. The home is well stocked and of great quality. There are views from nearly every room! Of the 5 suites the one by the pool/laundry is a little musty and although not terrible, less desirable than the others. This may be relevant if it is a couples trip and everyone wants the top notch suite. There are a lot of stairs and there are no railings. There is one section, if you stay on the mid level where the wall can be used for support. We managed just fine with no issues but if you are traveling with someone mobility restricted it could be a problem. They may also not be able to get to the beach because the beach path starts with a steep section. We knew about the stair before we arrived from both the reviews and the management company so these notes are not a complaint at all and the concern won't apply to most groups. The water access to the stone beach was amazing for a swim or Watersport although the snorkeling in the bay isn't much compared to other island spots. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again.

  Spent thanksgiving week at Reefside Villa. Beautiful, spacious home with great proximity to grocery stores and Cruz bay. This villa can be tough to get to and I would not recommend using the address given in your maps app for iPhone. We used the street “via Appia” as the location and that got us home. Important to note if you are bring younger children, all bedrooms except for the upper two are separated, meaning you will not share a wall with anyone and would be separated from the kids (good or bad!) Great spot to catch some creatures around including lots of lizards and birds.

  a guest from Baldwin City, KS recommends this vacation rental

  Reefside villa is a wonderful place for a family vacation. Well maintained, high quality villa. For those with small children, understand there are no bedrooms with direct access to the main house where the kitchen and living room is at. All bedrooms (ensuite with king beds) have exterior access to the main house. This was not a problem for us since all our kids are adults. Could be problematic for families with small children.
  
  The grounds are fabulous and well maintained. The kitchen was well equipped to cook in...better than other villas we have rented. Easy access to town and north shore beaches. Limited parking, but two 4 door jeeps did fit.
  
  Short walk to south shore private ocean entrance. It is rocky, but was a joy to sit on the rocks and watch the waves and get some sun.
  
  Only complaint is the laundry room. The dryer exhausts into the laundry room...not outside. It tends to overrun the AC in the adjoining bedroom on the lower level and keep it overly hot and humid.
  
  Very pleased with the management company and would gladly use them again. We already miss St John and are planning when we can get there again.
