About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Pet friendly. Kayak, paddle board, snorkel, or hike to the beach.

VRBO's category of "Owner fees" on quotes consist of additional person fee(s) ($87/night after 4 people) and cleaning fee.

Affordable 5 bedroom Beach Walk Villa is located on one of St John’s most spectacular tropical reefs. Sleeps up to 10 (5 bdrms, 3 kings and 2 queens). Priced according to the number of guests, we will only rent to one group on the property at a time whether you have just two or up to 10 people. Couples or teens using the lower level have their own mini suite complete with second washer/dryer, microwave, refrigerator, living area, two bedrooms and two baths. The main upper level has three bedrooms, three and one half baths, and a fabulous Great Room surrounded by glass to let in the spectacular all around view. Open the screened large glass windows to hear the sound of the surf that you will never forget.
The fun really begins outside at Beach Walk. Our calm crystal clear water offers some of the best swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding on St John. We provide you with snorkels, masks, kayaks, and paddle boards free of charge. Why have to drive every day to a crowded beach? You can swim, snorkel, kayak/paddleboard, or take a brief hike over to the beach at Chocolate Hole. We prefer to snorkel because the reef is teeming with beautiful, colorful sea life that you will not want to miss. The kids love searching for shells and hermit crabs along our rocky shore.
When you're not out having fun in the ocean, relax on the pool deck or hammock just steps from the reef. You can listen to the peaceful sounds of the shore while going for a refreshing dip in our 15' diameter x 52" deep pool. Perfect for a refreshing plunge or float. Options for fun are endless and just right at your front door while visiting Beach Walk.

Beach walk villa is only 2 miles from Cruz Bay shopping and dining.
1 mile to Westin Resort - scuba; sail; beach bar & more. Chocolate Hole Beach a 5 minute oceanside hike from the villa.
Kayaks, Paddle boards, Snorkel gear & life jackets provided

Amazing stay in Chocolate Hole. The property is waterfront with beautiful views. Plenty of room for the 5 of us, and was a great place to unwind and jumping off point for island exploration. Would come again in a heartbeart!

Beautiful location with access to the water

The location could not have been better. We snorkeled, paddle boarded, and kayaked almost every day out front of the Villa. The outdoor area was awesome. The set up of the house fit our family perfectly. The house itself could use some attention, especially in the kitchen but overall we had a great experience.

What a special place!!

This house has everything that you would want in a relaxing vacation home! Our family enjoyed snorkling, fishing and paddle boarding daily. The pool was fun to relax in and watch the waves roll along in the bay. The house was clean, well stocked and so spacious for our family of 5. We enjoyed playing cards and games at the table, while we heard the waves from the bay. The communication before and during our stay was excellent. We all miss this place and hope to be back soon!

Great house with amazing view

House is right on the water. No beach, as shown and revealed in the description, but beautiful nonetheless. Easy(ish) access to the water with the available kayaks and SUPs. Beware the Sea Urchins! House was a little shy on noise privacy, especially in the upstairs bedroom but nothing to worry about, in our opinion. Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Property

The property manager was friendly, informative and very helpful. She assisted with any special requests in advance of our stay which was very accommodating. The property itself was beautiful and just as listed. Great place to have family/friends as you can share two different sections of the residence to allow privacy and/or allowing your toddler to take a nap while still being able to vacation without worry for waking them up. Very close to Cruz Bay, and the property had the most amazing sunset views. I would encourage you to bring water shoes if staying and planning to walk to the sandy beach during low tide. Also great snorkeling spot. Would highly recommend!

Family gathering

Beach Walk Villa was wonderful. It's perfectly beautiful location was a complete delight, the property managers were most helpful and friendly, and the extras like the pool, kayaks and paddleboards were terrific to have to enjoy being on the water. It was a fabulous week. Everyone of all ages loved being there. My only suggestion was that since some of the famous recent storms apparently covered up the walk way to the nearest beach, the website photos should be updated to take that out. But really didn't matter a bit. We drove to the big beaches and were perfectly delighted to be back at the house later to enjoy it's amazing location and stunning sunsets. Can't recommend this property enough. You'll love it too.

This home was perfect for our family of 10 adults. Having kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and a pool were huge assets for us. We did try walking on the rocks to the beach, but soon realized kayaking or paddle boarding over were much better options. I’d recommend packing tevas, or water shoes for entering and exiting the water..no flip flops. Any questions or requests were promptly answered. If we travel to St John again, we would definitely book this villa. Regarding the neighborhood /area…you’ll be driving to any destination. Groceries or dining out are both extremely expensive. Our faves: dining at Windmill Inn, hiking Reef Bay Trail, Trunk Bay beach.

Family time at beach Walk

We all enjoyed our stay in this Villa. It was clean and roomy with nice outdoor spaces. Some of the furniture was new and some such as the dining area furniture was quite worn. The bedrooms were nicely appointed but be prepared for outdoor showers attached to the lower level bedrooms. Also no hot water in those outdoor showers. Since it was advertised as a villa where one could walk to the beach we were surprised to find the walk almost impossible over the rocky shoreline. We did enjoy the kayaks, snorkel equipment and cornhole game. The bay was lovely. One definitely needs to rent a vehicle in order to enjoy the island and be prepared to navigate very narrow roads. Overall I rate this Villa quite high. The management company was excellent to work with.

Beautiful location/House needs work

The house is in a beautiful location, but the house needs some work. The roof leaked during big rain storms. Some furniture was broken and the separate apartment was dark. Being on the water was amazing but getting into the water was difficult. The rocky coastline, rough waters and outdated kayaks/paddle boards made getting in the water outside the house challenging. The outside deck and pool were the perfect place to gather after a day of exploring the island. This was our favorite part of the house. Overall, you rent this house if you have a large group, you want to be on the water and you aren’t fussy about your accommodations. My kids did not notice any of the house shortcomings but if this were my house, it would be time for a renovation.

Beachwalk Villa Vacation

The location and property management group were great. We had the unfortunate experience off having a rolling blackout on Saturday night for 4 hours and a tropical storm blow through on Sunday and lost electricity for just over 24 hours. I felt the owners should describe that you DO NOT have a generator for the house and the toilets and water don’t work without electricity. Colby (from property managers) brought over ice and a small portable generator for a few lights but it wasn’t enough to even run the refrigerator. On the upside, the house is overall adequate, the views are beautiful from the living area only, as its too buggy to sit outside much. There was plenty of lounge chairs and snorkel gear provided. On the downside, the kitchen is quite small with no food storage area, but decent cookware and utensils, there are not windows in the master bedroom and it’s upstairs so its difficult to keep it cool enough. Overall, I thought St John and the location of the home was wonderful, but I don’t think we would rent this particular house again because of the price of the rental vs. the house layout and it’s lack of a generator that can run the refrigerator, water and toilet systems.

St John Family vacation

The pool and views were amazing- the overall layout was great for our group! We really enjoyed our time @ Beachwalk. However the name is misleading in that the walk to the beach is not maintained and there is no “easy” walk to the neighboring beach unless to take the rocks which is not ideal for kids. There is also no good place to put in the kayaks or paddle boards so unfortunately we did not use those! The kitchen is well stocked and the washer/dryers are so helpful. It would have been helpful to have flashlights with batteries available for the 2 power outages We experienced during our stay. Overall a great place- just need the beach walk to be maintained.

We had the best time! We have never been to the USVI, and St. John is AMAZING! We hiked, snorkeled, kayaked, and swam every day. The water and the reefs are beautiful! Sean at Empire Boat Charters is the best, and he took us to great snorkeling areas and to places to see the sea turtles. We have already talked about coming back. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone, adults or families with kids. It was perfect!!

Great House - Beautiful Bay

We had 7 stay here, my wife and I took the upstairs master, our two sets of parents took the two queen rooms on the main level, and our daughters each got a queen and their own living space in the lower level - so that was perfect. The management team was great to work with. The bay is stunning and the snorkeling is great. It was difficult for our parents (all around 80) to get in and out of the water at the house location, or to walk to the beach. Rocky, if the water is rough at all, older folks have some trouble. But overall a fantastic experience!

Best Snorkeling on St. John's Island

Everyone was so very easy to deal with. We had quick response to all our needs and questions. The property was packed with snorkels, beach shoes, paddle boards and kayaks. We found the snorkeling off the deck to be much better than any of the beaches we visited. The house was very large and fit our family of 5 couples easily. The views were incredible. We didn't even leave the property some days. Thank you for sharing such a lovely home.

The outside of the house is the best part. The snorkeling and kayaking were great and am excellent opportunity to have on site. The bedrooms were lacking especially the downstairs. Privacy was non existent. Many of the outlets didn’t work 1/2 bath was non operational. Kitchen quite small. Ceiling fans required you to climb on bed to operate. Pool water was so cold no one could get in and enjoy. For the $, I will pick aomewhere else next time.

Beautiful views, great location

We really enjoyed the great room, the views were beautiful. The pool area is lovely, but we needed to use bug spray for the No-See-Ums. I snorkeled in the bay and saw fish and turtles. We took a nice kayak ride. Getting the kayaks into the water, past the rocks, was not easy for us in our mid 60's. It was an easy 5 minute drive into Cruz Bay. We enjoyed our stay here.

The few issues we had were easily resolved and the owners and property management company were easy to work with. They went above and beyond helping us get to the property and showing us where places were. They gave a thorough tour of the property upon arrival. Again, it was a great location and beautiful views.

Chocolate Hole fun!

Upon our arrival we were greeted by the house manager and introduced to the property. Communication was good from the get-go. The location of the house is superb and secluded. Chocolate Hole Bay is nestled in a small neighborhood and provides great sunsets and amazing snorkeling right in your backyard. Our group enjoyed experiencing everything the island had to offer. We snorkeled, we hit restaurants and shopping, and did some fishing as well. Oh the house is in good shape and has a split upper and lower level. The pool and deck are great but if visiting in March bring bug spray because the no-see-ums are bad around dawn and dusk. During our visit, the lower section of the home had a mildew smell. Once we reported this to the managers they reacted quickly with a o-zone machine. Overall the house is nice, The location is great, and the island is amazing.

Great place

We had a great time here for a family vacation. Place is quiet and secluded which is great. Snorkeling is as great here as anywhere else on the island we visited. Saw lots of turtles every day feeding in the grasses. Careful with sea urchins as they were everywhere on the way out to snorkel. Property manager was attentive with small items that need attention as well. Hope to stay again in the future.
