Bomballasy Villa is gorgeous. Myrtle and Curtis have done a fantastic job with the house. The rooms are thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. For just the two of us, it was more than enough.
The view of Cruz Bay is beautiful. Take it in from either the comfortable soaking pool or the 4 comfortable chaise lounges. A few steps around the side of the Villa, there’s a big hammock for chilling. Adjacent to that, a table/chairs for 4. Lots of ways to be comfortable outside and that’s where you’ll want to be, of course.
The location is right outside the big heart of the small town/city that is Cruz Bay. A 5 minute drive to the grocery store and, more or less, most of the restaurants and shopping.
In terms of the major Cruz Bay beaches, you’re about 15 minutes from Trunk Bay. (Leave the house at 9:30, if you hope to get parking.) Another 10 minutes and you’ll reach Cinnamon Bay.
Yes, the driveway is very steep. And you’ll drive a couple of equally steep hills getting to the home. But that’s where the views are. Do not be discouraged by it. (And frankly, if driving hills isn’t for you, then St. John probably isn’t for you.) A rental Jeep with good brakes and you’re golden. You may even get the opportunity to stop for a herd of goats who have decided to have a meal there. (Goats know a good climb.) but
Myrtle and Curtis are ideal hosts. Available right when you need them. Otherwise, you are completely left to your own devices. Sound like you might love it? You will.
