Get close to St. John’s abundant natural beauty with this secluded and affordable island home. Just a few minutes’ drive from Cruz Bay, HAIKU is the first architect-designed, traditional Caribbean-style house built on the island. Designed in native West Indian style influenced by the Danish great-houses, Haiku is built on one floor at ground level; it is safe for children and is wheelchair accessible. Entry is through a garden gate beyond which is a covered, open-air living/dining room pavilion made from hand-laid stone. Island trade winds keep you cool while lounging in the living room, eating at the dining room table, or just enjoying the peace and quiet of the adjoining tiled patio. A garden of native flowers and trees provide shade and quiet not just for you, but for island birds and animals as well. While cooling off in the patio swimming pool (about 19' x 9' x max. 4.5' depth), you might spot one of the resident iguanas feeding on the garden flowers.

The air-conditioned Master bedroom has a bathroom shared with an adjacent air-conditioned bedroom that has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and is suitable for children or another couple. On the other side of the house, separated by the living/dining room, is a third air-conditioned bedroom that also has twin beds that can be converted to a king bed and its own bathroom. Plus, there is a private outdoor shower off the Master bathroom, and a second outdoor shower by the pool where you can wash off all the sand you’ve accumulated from enjoying St. John’s phenomenal beaches.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner stove, oven, microwave, countertop toaster/oven, blender for cocktails, refrigerator, and plenty of cupboard and counter space. China, glasses, silverware, cooking vessels, and utensils are provided as well as place mats, dish towels, a gas barbecue grill, and other amenities to make cooking easy and fun. A washing machine, dryer, and clothesline are located behind the kitchen. Haiku also provides WiFi, a UV & Filter Water Treatment System, and a propane Backup Generator in case of island power outages. The driveway can easily accommodate three vehicles, so invite new friends over for drinks after dark while marveling at the luminous night sky.

    Everything was delightful! Someone greeted us at Cruz Bay and we followed her to the house where she provided all the info one could need. The house was clean. Loved the open concept.

    Everything was wonderful from the communication and ease of booking to the home itself. The was everything you could possibly need and more. The hot tub and pool were wonderful bonuses to an already stunning property. We will most certainly be back!

    We enjoyed the outdoor living space, the laundry area with clothesline, the beach supplies, and visiting all the beaches. We had a wonderful time! Mo and Chemica welcomed us and made sure our questions were answered.

    We really loved our stay at Haiku. We loved being in open air living room with gentle breezes The location of the house is very close to town. We enjoyed exploring North Beaches and then going out for dinner at Cruz Bay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

    Loved our stay at Haiku! Beautiful setting and accommodations. Kitchen was well equipped and beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler were provided. Enjoyed watching the birds and iguanas. Both the pool and the hot tub were a great way to relax after hiking or snorkeling. The main living area is open air, but there was always a pleasant breeze. Highly recommend!

    We loved it here! I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about the outdoor living room and animals and insects that come with outdoor living, but everything blew away our expectations. So thoughtfully designed - multiple outdoor showers, hot tub, pool, washer dryer - and immaculately well kept. Even when we were just sitting around playing cards, we felt like we were on an island adventure. We saw iguanas, frogs, all kinds of birds and other lizards - kids could not have been happier. Thank you for making this trip extraordinarily special.

    We wanted a house with a pool so the kids could entertain themselves when we were home. Loved the outdoor living space (a little buggy for about an hour at dusk) and it was exactly what our family of 5 was looking for.

    A very comfortable home with all the amenities one would want. Wonderfully equipped kitchen with quality cookware - great for all of us who love to cook, and only 2min from the Dolphin Gourmet Market and it’s fine inventory.

    My favorite VRBO ever. The outdoor living room, the pool and view, the separate bedrooms and bath were perfect for our family. The location was great - quiet and convenient. The landscaping was amazing. And the service from the property manager was excellent. A special shout out to the patient woman who helped us get settled in.

    We enjoyed our stay very much. We were thankful for the greeter who met us in town and guided us to the house. One tip if you are ordering groceries to pick up, the Dolphin Market in Chocolate Hole is right on the way to the house. The house is an open pavilion for the living and dining areas and we mostly hung out on the porch swing. Bedrooms and kitchen are screened/enclosed. You are definitely a part of nature at this retreat. Lizards, birds, even a deer in our driveway one day. The birds sang/chirped us to sleep at night. The kitchen and bath fixtures are older but was clean. I greatly appreciated all the kitchen stuff - Ninja blender, pots and pans, cooking utensils, Tupperware, and pantry staples/spices/oil. There are coolers and beach chairs provided for the beaches. We enjoyed floating in the pool on the provided loungers. Did not try the hot tub. We would stay here again if we could convince our kids to come with us.Overall advice for St. John is the Crown Bay ferry, if the times work out it with your flight schedule it is much more pleasant than a taxi to Red Hook.

    Very relaxing area, and fairly easy to get to if you know the island. Close to the grocery stores. Had some challenges with meeting up with our greeters, but our flights were delayed. House is very open air, the details say bedrooms are air-conditioned, but there are no windows, just screens and a curtain in one room. But the in room air-conditioning did cool it down quickly at night. The others have wooden crank shutters. I would call it more like Glamping. But we adapted and welcomed the lizards for morning coffee and accepted that you will be showering with the small friends and spiders. Some of the pool chairs are showing serious sun damage and we couldn't use them. There are other obvious signs of wear in several areas. I've stayed on the island the last 4 years at different places, and for the conditions it's priced a bit high, in my opinion. But you can't beat the privacy and having a pool to yourself.
