New Listing! Blue Dolphin Villa in Great Cruz bay!



Blue Dolphin, formerly "The Boat House" on Great Cruz bay road is a newly rebuilt 4 bedroom home. The house has been remodeled and rebuilt and is a charming mix of the old stonework associated with the Caribbean and modern design with glass railings and a new pool. The first thing you notice at when arriving to the house is the lush landscaping and outdoor gazebo in the garden. Whether you are a nature lover or just escaping to do some reading you'll love this outdoor seating area.

You enter the house into the living room and notice the open floor plan into the dining and kitchen area and extra seating areas.

All 4 bedrooms are on the main level and all can be accessed under one roof. The bedrooms are spacious have queen beds and are elegantly furnished.

My favorite part of Blue Dolphin is the large deck on the west side of the house that has glass railing to maximize the views. It has 2 large covered areas for lounging or eating at the outside dining area. The new gas grill is ready for you! It has a very large open area for sunbathing and watching the sunset next to the pool as well.

The indoor dining area is right off the kitchen and the two family room areas. The indoor and outdoor areas mesh well together and whether you are inside in the air conditioning or outside on the deck, you will still feel very together.

The kitchen has been updated to include a beautiful Wolf stove where you may not only cook your favorite meals but also grill your favorite steaks or seafood. A gorgeous island has been included with granite counter top and seating. Also , included in the kitchen is a large ice maker next to the sink along with a pantry area that houses spices, coffee, an expresso machine and blender.

The entire house has mini split air conditioning that will keep everyone comfortable while hanging around the house.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great location and beautiful house
We had 2 couples to enjoy the Blue Dolphin for 5 nights. The property manager, JP, was very accomodating and helpful when one of our couples had a travel delay. JP was a gracious host that made us feel at home immediately. The house is wonderful and the infinity edge pool is perfect. Grill worked well and the kitchen is well stocked. AC worked well and the drive to the house is easy compared to many on St. John! Easy access to the Westin where a number of boat charters operate out of. Would book here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful views, great location spacious home!
Stayed here for a week in May for a family get away. The house is gorgeous with plenty of room inside and out. We found the kitchen to be very adequate for cooking meals and the ice maker was a great bonus. The property manager JP was quick to get us checked in and to respond to any inquiries. The sunsets are amazing especially while floating in the infinity pool. The location is close to cruise bay but not walking distance. We rented a jeep for the week as we wanted to explore the entire island. We will be sure to book this home again next time we are in St. John!

Great House!!
Our family of 5 came for spring break and had an amazing time!! The house was great and was absolutely as advertised. Close enough to town to be easily accessed but just far enough away to be quiet in the evenings. Would absolutely recommend.

Beautiful Spot
The house has a beautiful view and gorgeous deck with Infinity pool. The four bedrooms had comfortable beds and dressers. One thing I wasn’t prepared for was the absence of closets in bedrooms (or anywhere). When staying for a week, we have a fair amount of clothes to hang up, so the cute hooks on the walls weren’t sufficient. Other than that, beautiful house!

Stunning Villa
This is our second visit to St. John and love the island vibe. The villa is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor patio/pool/view is stunning and the pool is warm! The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed. The extra ice machine was a bonus! The villa was so comfortable and nice option to have A/C available throughout entire villa vs just bedrooms. Nice touches throughout and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Blue Dolphin Villa!

Spectacular!!
We will never forget our 1st vacation to St. John and our stay at the Blue Dolphin. This home was perfect for our family. We spent many hours swimming in the pool and enjoying the spectacular views and sunsets over Cruz Bay. The use of their beach chairs, snorkeling gear and coolers were an added bonus. As was the ice machine in the kitchen! Brian and Callie are gracious hosts and incredibly responsive. JP (the property manager) gave us amazing recommendations. We are already dreaming of our next trip back!

Blue Dolphin Bliss!!
Blue Dolphin Villa was superb in every aspect! Clean, well-furnished, beautiful grounds and the WOW infinity pool overlooking Great Cruz Bay! Loved the old decor mixed in with the new design! The kitchen was well stocked with whatever would be needed to cook a gourmet meal including a variety of cookware and two stove tops! The ice machine was a surprise bonus and was greatly appreciated! Three bathrooms with showers were more than adequate for our group. The property is very easy to get to and although we had a jeep we frequently used Kedija Prentice taxi and she was very dependable. JP, the villa manager, and owners were quick to respond with whatever questions we had- in short they were great hosts! We will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic house. Would definitely stay again!
The pool was great. The whole house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The only issue was the water pressure was really slow. Might just be an island thing but could only take one shower at a time.

Wonderful family vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation at the Blue Dolphin. The house was spacious with a fantastic view and location, in the hills above the Westin. The patio, pool and cabana area and outside dining made for relaxing afternoons/evenings after the beach. JP was also a great property manager, responsive and helpful to us as we navigated our first visit to St. John. We hope to come back!

St John at its best.
The Blue Dolphin is just a beautiful home with spectacular views and great location. I have stayed in St John and Chocolate Hole before but this was the house that had everything down to every little detail. The pool deck was perfect after the beach and happy hour everyday with beautiful views of St Thomas and Great Cruz Bay. Property mgr was easy and helpful with great communication. Well done Blue Dolphin team you do it right from owners, prop mgr, cleaning people just a very well run home and it was very much appreciated! Run don’t walk to this gem on St John!

A Perfect Stay
My wife and I have been travelling together to St. John since the early 1990s, she even longer than that. Each time we stay, we try a different property. We both agreed that the Blue Dolphin was either the best or second best property we have stayed at in all our years. You are only minutes from town, an amazing view (we even got to see a Space X launch from the back patio one evening), plenty of interior space, a navigable driveway (which isn't always the case on St. John), an great kitchen, beautifully decorated home, and a wonderful pool. We do not hesitate giving this villa five stars.

Great Trip and Great House!
This was a great property, just as advertised! The views were spectacular. The kitchen was roomy and had all the necessities. The property manager made check-in a breeze and was responsive. Check out the Iguana's in the trees, they were fun to watch. They come out to eat around 3:30 or 4:00! Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others!

St John revisit
The location was perfect. We used 3 of 4 bedrooms. There was 3 bathrooms. More than adequate. Outside patio gets used a lot. Pool is awesome. Very safe. Kitchen has everything you need. The host was always available. Checked in on us once. Would definitely stay again. You will need a car in my opinion. We rented on St Thomas w Amalie car Rental. 👍👍 There are tons of restaurants, hiking trails, and beaches. They have everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay.

Pool House with a view!!!
We had a wonderful week in St. John at the Blue Dolphin. The house is in close proximity to the Car Ferry, Grocery Stores, Town and quick drive to beautiful beaches. The property manager was quick to respond, extremely accommodating and helpful during our stay. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking meals at home easy. Our favorite part of the house was waking up and having coffee on the patio and finishing the day in the pool. The views of the bay are breathtaking anytime of the day... be sure to check out the stunning sunset. We look forward to visiting again!
