Cruz Views "Destiny" is an absolutely incredible place to stay. My girlfriend and I enjoyed 6 nights and 7 days in this amazing vacation condo. The views from the deck and living area are breathtaking, both day and night. The listing description is spot on - beautiful ocean views during the day, bright orange sunsets in the evening and sparkling sights of St. Thomas at night.
The condo itself has a great tropical/island vibe and is very well set up and accomadating, with everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. The furniture, including the bed, was very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and had a HUGE shower, which included a skylight, window, faux plants and a large bench that made it feel like an outdoor shower. You can tell this unit has been updated recently... the AC is a great feature and the appliances seem newer. Everything worked great.
Having visited St. John twice now, I can honestly say I loved the location of Cruz Views. The walk to town down the hill was super easy and cabs back to the unit were very cheap. Also, cab rides up the hill are a lot of fun! You'll understand once you stay here.
The pool and pool deck area were AWESOME. Although the pool looks small, it has a deep end that runs the length of the pool, so it's big enough to dive right in. We spent several evenings after coming back from the beach swimming in the pool and enjoying the sunset. We rarely saw anyone else using the pool and the weather was perfect throughout our entire trip.
Lastly, parking was very easy. There are several (off street) spots within a 20 yards of the unit.
I would highly reccomend staying at Cruz Views "Destiny" unit. The large deck, amazing views and great location blew away our expectations. You can tell this is a great spot after reading the guest logs and seeing how many people come back to this unit, year after year. We will be planning another trip to St. John and we will 100% be staying in Destiny the next time we're here.
