About this property

New listing - see reviews for lower level only, Chocolate Chip, at vrbo #2474962

PEACE OF CHOCOLATE is a 2-story villa with a pool located in the neighborhood of Chocolate Hole. It right around the corner from the Westin on Great Cruz Bay Road and is just 5 minutes from St. John’s main town of Cruz Bay and grocery stores are even closer!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck looking out at the activities going on in the bay as crews prepare for sailing, snorkeling or fishing trips and the Westin shuttle boat brings guests and employees to and from the hotel. It is a short 15-minute walk to the end of the Westin beach where you can schedule outings or rentals with Cruz Bay Watersports or have lunch or dinner at the Westin's beachside restaurant, Snorkels. You may even be able to join in on a volleyball game on the beach! You can also catch a taxi to town at the Westin, if you don't want to wait for one to come to the villa.
In the evening, enjoy your favorite beverage and dinner while watching the sunset and later you can hear the laughter and squeals from the night kayakers and paddle boarders as they encounter tarpon feeding in the bay.
There is air conditioning in the main living area, as well as each bedroom. The home has some traditional rock wall features inside and skylights let in lots of additional daylight! There is a pool and lush tropical gardens with flowering shrubs, fruit trees and 5 kinds of palm trees.
A 10-foot-wide path at the corner of the property leads to the kayaks and the entrance to Great Cruz Bay with a rock wall bulkhead (no beach).

Beach towels, chairs and a cooler provided.

Enjoy!!

Beautiful home in perfect location

Lin is an amazing host and her home is beautiful. The downstairs offers 2bdr’s, one with two twin beds and one with a king. The upstairs has three more bedrooms with great views. 5 minute drive or taxi down to Cruz bay (ferry, bars, restaurants). Highly recommend!

A piece of chocolate heaven

Our family had stayed here once before and would not return unless we got the same house. I was lucky enough to find a weekend that we could all get there and the house was available. The house is perfect. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two baths and downstairs there are two bedrooms and one bath. If we had teenagers, the downstairs would be a dream for both parents and children. It is like an apartment all by itself. The pool is very refreshing after a day at the beach and very well maintained. It also has a spectacular view of Great Cruz Bay. We spent the nights out on the patio or the pool looking at the beautiful scenery and just chatting (since we do not see each other often enough). The manager is absolutely wonderful - very accommodating and easy to get hold of. She was very kind to my sister when she showed up early, having forgot the check-in time I told her. I just can't say enough good things about this home and the woman who manages it. It is a dream place to stay.

Fantastic

2 feedback items: 1. Paying for clean up should include trash removal. Was awful to lug out trash for 10 people onto our taxi with luggage. 2. The taxi drivers had great difficulty finding the villa. I did have directions and landmarks provided by owner that were great. Motion lights or solar lights and signs/address would be very helpful with finding the entry and making it down the steps. Overall a wonderful place to stay

Perfect, island home away from home!

We travel regularly and use home rentals most of the time so this was the perfect choice for our family of five. Positioned in a more residential part of the island (as opposed to the bustling, tourist hub of Cruz Bay) this lovely home allowed for more space, home amenities, and peaceful sleep. Last time we visited St. John we stayed in the heart of Cruz Bay and loved the fact that we could walk to restaurants in the evening so we missed that, however, Great Cruz Bay is super close and parking lots are well positioned so we didn't feel like we missed out on any of the evening festivities by staying a little further away from the hustle and bustle. In fact, we enjoyed our retreat every evening after full days exploring the island and the incredible beaches, we were all pleased to have a the space to find a quiet corner to read or chat about the day on the spacious deck with harbor views. We enjoyed our stay at Peace of Chocolate! PS - Small side note - they had recently cleared out the lot in front of this home when we were there which made for clear views of the bay. I'm not sure what they have planned for the land in front of the rental property? Hopefully nothing that ruins the view.

About the host

Hosted by Lin Garvey

Hello and welcome!
My name is Lin Garvey. I am from Charlotte, NC. I purchased my home in December 2020 and became a full time resident! I now have a beautiful home on the water where my friends and family can visit. I want to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Location is one of the many positives about this villa. It is easy to reach and close to town while still private with unique views of Great Cruz Bay. So close are you to the water, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the activities of the bay. A 1 minute walk down my private path allows access to the water.

The interior boasts the classic rock wall features of traditional Caribbean homes.
