As always, reach out directly for Best Value.
Located in the town of Cruz Bay, Tropical Panorama is situated 90 feet above sea level through the driveway gate, the property has almost 5,200 square feet of indoor and outdoor livable space, overlooking a view of Cruz Bay and its surrounding islands. This home is designed to enable residents to truly experience indoor/outdoor living, Tropical Panorama’s professionally decorated interior is very spacious with just over 3,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Renovations have enhanced the interior and exterior of the home and fully complement the stunning views and the impressive pool. We are excited about the outcome and certain that many visitors will enjoy creating lasting memories here. The property is great for outdoor living, as well as boasting a large private pool and water views. PLUS plenty of off-street private parking.
Tropical Panorama is positioned on a large hilltop parcel with lots of vegetation. Because of its hilltop location, the ground-level, front entrance opens onto the top floor, consisting of a half bath and a great room offering a seating area and a large dining table, as well as an open kitchen with barstool seating along a spacious island countertop. The seating area is well appointed with a 65" Samsung 4K HD TV with HD YouTube TV/DVR service, a 4K Blu-ray DVD player, and a multi-point seamless Wi-Fi system, STARLINK High speed internet connection. The kitchen is fully equipped for all of your culinary needs (dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, and pans) and includes a full-size refrigerator, an electric range, a convection oven, a convection microwave, a dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker.
The interior living spaces on the top floor are cooled by air conditioning that you control, or simply open either of the glass sliding doors that span 35 feet and form two adjoining sides of the great room and allow the tropical breezes to pass through. On this level beyond the sliding doors, there is a large, open, but fully covered, veranda or lanai providing an additional sitting and dining area with a complete summer kitchen (Coyote gas grill, refrigerator, icemaker, and sink). The lanai offers the best spot in the whole house to spend hours reading a book or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, listening to your choice of music via the indoor-outdoor Bluetooth 4-zone speaker system. Beyond the lanai is a large cantilevered patio or deck adjoining the pool and overlooking Pillsbury Sound. Bordering the deck are two private principal bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed (Sleep Number mattress) and an en suite bathroom.
A stairwell located off the lanai leads to the lower-level hallway spanning the width of the house, with a lockable barn door at the foot of the stairwell opening to the outside. This hallway provides access to the three lower-level bedrooms and their en suite bathrooms. The 4 principal suites are furnished with king-sized beds and have exterior sliding doors providing a view of tropical landscaping, while the interior bedroom is furnished with a king bed and double over double bunk bed that has a trundle single mattress under it.
The king-sized bed in one of the lower Principal Suite features a Sleep Number mattress while the other lower Principal Suite offers a TempurPedic mattress. Split-wall unit air conditioners permit dehumidified, cooled air comfort within all five bedrooms. The décor in each of the four bedrooms with the king-sized beds is modern and upscale. The fifth bedroom and its private bathroom provide space and has a king bed as well as a double over double bunk bed with a floor level single trundle bed ideal for a 5th couple or guests traveling with children as this room can sleep up to 6 children or a few adults. (The top bunk is really only appropriate for children or small teens.)
Parents traveling with young children should be aware that each of the three downstairs bedrooms offers an independent entrance to the shared hallway with doors that can be locked from the inside and outside while the two upstairs bedrooms each have lockable sliding doors that open onto the pool deck. Also, there is no barrier between the pool, the lanai, and the deck. There is a security camera system around the perimeter of the house that you can turn on at any time to view the security feed. (Cameras do not film either the interior of the house or the lanai, deck, and pool areas.) We want your stay to be nothing less than fabulous. For this reason, we want to share as much as possible about Tropical Panorama, enabling you to decide if it is a good fit for you and your vacation needs.
Tropical Panorama offers an incredibly prime location – a short walk down the hill to Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, and shops (and only 0.4 mile from the house to the ferry). Perhaps more importantly, you only need to walk home after visiting the many famous Cruz Bay bars. There is no need for a taxi, as you are right next to where all the action is happening, but far enough away that you do not have to be around the action when you want peace and privacy.
Tropical Panorama will easily host corporate events as the top floor offers large common spaces with amazing views. (An additional fee and deposit will apply.) Please, no wedding groups.
Please note there is construction occurring in the area adjacent to just our Villa and the new two story building interrupts a portion of the view that you may have enjoyed before (if you arrived after they cut the trees but prior to the start of that structure). We can't stop progress, and it's still a fabulous water view. The views shown in the listing photos are not and will not be impacted by the construction. Feel Free to check out the webcam for a live image of the view.
There is a small separate cottage on the property next door that shares our gate. It is about 200' from the house and rents separately. This basic cottage is equipped with an outside hot/cold shower, outdoor kitchenette, a King bed with AC, and a flushing toilet. Reference Vrbo number 1918911. For an additional fee, this can be added to your stay at Tropical Panorama to permit a total of 15 guests.
The owner also offers discounts to guests for AWD Rental SUVs.
The Owners will consider a trade for comparable vacation homes of similar quality ($1MM-$8MM) in desirable locations. Please inquire and see if there is interest.

Exceptional Villa
Tropical Panorama is an exceptional villa and is exactly as advertised. Views are even better than the photo. We have been coming to St. John for over 25 years and had one of our best stays over the holidays last month. Rooms are spacious, gourmet kitchen is fabulous, outside grill / kitchen is awesome and the pool is large and refreshing after a day on the beach. Quick walk to Cruz Bay restaurants and a quick drive to Starfish Market to cook at home. Highly recommend and the hosts are first class!

Panoramic Paradise
This panoramic paradise afforded all of us a beautiful space to personally unwind and reconnect with each other, as well as nature. The kitchen is equipped with every utensil and gadget one could want. The indoor, open concept allowed us to jointly prep meals, while sipping our drink of choice. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and sitting area allowed us to continue the merrymaking. The outdoor pool had the best view of the sunset, but allowed for lap swimming. The bedrooms, each with ensuite, allowed for rejuvenation for the next day. Please take advantage of the charter snorkeling or scubas excursions as well as hikes into the National Park. And lastly, see how many beautiful, white sands beaches you can add to your “dance ticket “. Enjoy

Tropical Panorama is Amazing
We return year after year to this amazing property because it is the perfect place for a group to stay in Cruz Bay. Very convenient walk to downtown and all that it has to offer. Very simple drive to the beaches and other attractions. The house offers incredible views of Cruz Bay, St Thomas and the beautiful sunsets. The house is always in tip-top shape, clean with all of the amenities you could possibly want. Highly recommend!

Our family goes to St. John a couple of times a year, It’s a beautiful spot and the house and its view did not disappoint. The only disappointment was the lack of communication with the property manager. There were a few issues with the home, and I reached out to him right away. He was slow to respond and at one point, said he was coming by and never came by. We still had a wonderful vacation and even though there was a little maintenance needed for the home, the spot and the view was fantastic.

Even better the second time!
We are one week back from our amazing stay at Tropical Panorama, and we cannot stop talking about how great a time we had. This was our 2nd stay at this property, and we were still amazed by the house, and the views. The property is absolutely stunning. It easily accommodated our group of 8, and everyone commented on how comfortable the rooms were. The owner mentioned that there might be a bit of construction going on, and it was mentioned in a review, but we didn't notice, and it appeared that it was basically complete. We spent many nights eating and hanging out in the lanai, or by the pool, taking in the amazing views from the property. The kids really enjoyed using the built in sound system! If you are heading to St. John, this is the place to book! 5/5!!

Family Vacation
I will start with the biggest issue at the property...the NOISE from the major construction within a few hundred feet of the house. It was everyday from 7:00-3:00. We woke up to hammer drills, tile cutters, etc. I know the owners have no control over this but I was not notified until I made my final payment and could not cancel. We had NO running water for 6 hours one day. The pool was not maintained and we could not use it the last 2 days due to the dirty water. The dishwasher did not work. The lower level was not as nice as the upper floor, clearly not as clean. Each time I had an issue, I notified the managers by text/phone. I have Never written a poor review for any home I have rented but this one needs to be addressed. I would NOT recommend this property

Wonderful Stay!
Our group had a wonderful time at this house. The pictures and information are all accurate. We had a group with multiple young kids so I was worried the short walk to town wouldn't be possible for us, but with a few small strollers it was perfect. We loved being so close we didn't have to load up the kids again after the day at the beach to head downtown. The house had all the amenities we could need and was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids!

The absolute perfect vacation spot!
We truly had a magical visit. Kids practically lived in the pool. We had everything you could possibly need from snorkel gear to kitchen appliances to beautiful amenities. The views are also incredible. Location is a short walk to the town. If you are in need of anything, it’s just minutes away. I would love to come back with a group of friends maybe without the kids too. The private gate also gives that added level of safety. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had which is always helpful. I loved the way the house is set up with the main hangout is arranged in such a way that we could be loud and the kids weren’t disturbed. We are so lucky to have found such an amazing spot for vacation. We will be definitely coming back.

Great house, great island, great friends!
Tropical Panorama is a beautiful property in a great location. Close to dining and shopping (within walking distance) and beaches. Well stocked with everything needed for a memorable vacation. Really appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, snorkel gear, etc. available at house. Communication was quick and seamless and Alex was available quickly with any answers we needed. The optional rental car waiting for us at property was nice and hassle free. Beds and linens were very comfortable. We spent most of our time on the beautiful lanai. We enjoyed morning visits from the peacocks and iguanas. Feel I should address the mentioned construction in the neighborhood. Very large house is being built a few feet from property. I wish I had seen the views before construction began. While view is still extraordinary, it is partially obstructed by new structure. The workers were not a nuisance at all. They were finished by 3-3:30 on the days they were there. Most days we went to a beach until early afternoon and spent afternoon/evenings by the pool. I would stay at Tropical Panorama again!

Family Christmas
Our family hadn’t been together for 5 yrs. due to work schedules and Covid. We had this planned this in March and we’re so excited. Pictures were beautiful on VRBO. A month before we got there we were told there would be some construction but never got exactly what or where it was. Unfortunately the panoramic view was killed by a house being built exactly in the middle of the view. Construction is still on going but the owner asked them to not start until 8AM and after 3PM they stopped. There is still a view to the north and some to the west. The center of the new construction will be open when it’s all finished. We couldn’t understand how the town of Cruz Bay would allow the new house to obstruct the view of another. The house otherwise is wonderful. We pretty much spend the entire days outside with the outdoor kitchen and furniture. We would go to the beaches most mornings, then hang outside the rest of the day. The construction workers weren’t as bad after the initial day. The bedrooms upstairs are wonderful, all new. The pool was nice also. Location is great and walk to town. We enjoyed our stay. If you’d like to see the new view, you are welcome to contact me, I have a video.

Best 50th Birthday x 2
4 couples rented this amazing house to celebrate two friends turning 50. Some of these couples travel the world and we all agreed that this was the best house on the island!! Everything was so clean, spacious kitchen and den and also included an amazing pool. It's in a great location. You can easily walk to all bars and restaurants but had plenty of space for our 2 jeep rentals to get out and about on the island.
We know that they are unable to control current construction in front of the house but it will be even more amazing when that is complete.
I highly recommend this property!!
