Romantic private apartment with amazing views at SeaSwan

Romantic Affordable Luxury with comfortable furnishings inside and outside, with stunning views.
SeaSwan Suite is a beautiful private, fully air conditioned one bedroom (a King) apartment in our villa. Only twelve minutes drive from Cruz Bay, guests have their own parking and private walkway to the apartment. No steps offer easy access from parking to the apartment. Double french doors open to 1200 square feet of beautifully appointed space. Soft colors of sea foam and sand with travertine marble floors greet each guest. Four double french doors open on to the sun deck, a cocktail deck and covered bedroom deck to the spectacular view. On a clear day you can see thirty five miles to Puerto Rico or awaken to three or four masted sailing ships crossing Pillsbury Sound. Twenty-four acres of undeveloped land in front of SeaSwan offers an unobstructed view of St Thomas and the Caribbean Sea. WIFI connection is fast and works on the outside patio areas and throughout the apartment. SeaSwan is 620 feet above sea level, offering soft breezes. The road and driveway are paved, and we are at the end of the road, so no traffic. The villa is at the very end of Gifft Hill Lane with no neighbors on three sides providing both quiet and privacy. SeaSwanSuite is the only apartment. The comfortable living room has a custom upholstered sectional and ottoman to gaze at the view or watch your favorite show on a flat screen TV with satellite service. The spacious bedroom with king bed ( the mattress gets rave reviews) the reading area a loveseat and desk to send postcards to friends offers ample space to stretch out. The bedroom armoire also has a flat screen TV for night time viewing. It is a wonderful room in which to awaken with a spectacular view and great night's rest, and for reading while lingering in bed. French doors off of the spacious bedroom open to a covered deck with double chaise for romantic evenings watching the sunset over the Caribbean and sharing a glass of wine.

The bathroom is well appointed, with travertine shower and soft towels.

The kitchen has GE appliances including dishwasher, aqua corian counters, and is fully appointed. Tap water is completely purified and bottled water is not necessary.
Have breakfast enjoying the view of both garden and the sea or enjoy the stunning sunsets from every view.

As night falls you will see a moonlight sea with the lights of St. Thomas twinkling in the distance.Watch cruise ships as they leave for their next port of call. The night sky is full of stars for star gazing. During the full moon the reflection over the water of Pillsbury Sound is unmatched.

Sea Swan is well located to dining, beautiful beaches and shopping. Cruz Bay is twelve minutes and the North Shore beaches about 15-20 minutes drive. The East End beaches are about 30 minutes drive.

A full laundry, for guests use only, is adjacent to the apartment. Beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, floats, and beach tents are provided for a memorable island vacation.

Amazing property to enjoy your St. John stay!
This was an amazing vrbo all around! Wini contacted us before we arrived for our incoming information - she met us at the car rental lot and took us to Sea Swan. There was a fantastic welcome package there waiting for us including eggs, English muffins, orange juice, muffins, chips and salsa and more! The apartment is well stocked with everything you need to have a great time on the island. Floaties, beach towels, beach chairs, Bluetooth speaker, tents and umbrellas and the list goes on. The view was stunning! A perfect spot to watch the sunsets! The grounds were gorgeous with lush plants all around. Location was perfectly located outside of Cruz Bay on Gifft Hill. The Windmill Bar (also an amazing sunset view) and Shambles are close by and fun spots to stop for a quick bite or beverage. You can’t go wrong staying at Sea Swan!

Awesome place for couples!
Sea Swan was perfect for the two of us! It's a very private apartment with it's own entrance on the first level of a large villa. Located toward the top of Gifft Hill, it's a steep drive but kind of fun with a jeep, and only 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. The other reviews aren't exaggerating - the view and sunsets are amazing! It's so special and calming to look out over the Caribbean and St. Thomas from the patio, full-length balcony, or any room. The landscaping is beautiful and complements the views for a real tropical island vibe. The outdoor daybed on the balcony was great in the evenings for relaxing with drinks and listening to the sounds of nature under the stars with the lights of St. Thomas in the distance. The place was super clean throughout. The bedroom and bathroom are quite spacious and the bed is very comfortable. We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, and beach towels, and it was really convenient to have a washer/dryer. The gift basket is a very thoughtful touch. We didn't have to run out to the market right away and it took care of breakfast, coffee/tea, and snacks for several days. Wini was fantastic in communicating and accommodating our late arrival. She met us at the car barge, led us to the villa, and walked us through the place. Highly recommend for couples!!

Perfect stay
There isn’t much else to stay other than this is a 5/5 property. From the check in process with Wini, to the view, to the welcome package in the fridge. You won’t find a better deal on the island. Everything worked perfectly, UV water filtration system, grill, etc.

Jaw Dropping Views!
My husband and I think this was one of our favorite vrbos ever. We spent a lot of time on the outside patio - breakfast and sunsets - and the view was just spectacular! We looked forward to hearing the roosters in the morning and the frogs at night. It was beautiful to look at the lights of nearby St. Thomas in the evenings. Wini, the Sea Swan concierge, was very helpful and kind. She reached out before our stay with texts, drove us to the house, and showed us around. The food & treats left in the fridge for us were very appreciated!! The bathroom was huge and the bed was comfortable. It was an incredible stay!

Beautiful property, fantastic location, wonderful views. Wini met us at the car ferry and led us to the property, which was actually easy to find. She gave us the grand tour, and was very helpful with suggestions on restaurants, etc. The welcome basket in the fridge was such a nice touch, and really helped out with snacks and breakfast for our stay. When I asked Wini about parking in Cruz Bay, she laughed and proceeded to explain the situation. Not ideal. She mentioned the gravel lot right by the car ferry. Save yourself the hassle of even looking for parking elsewhere, and at $8 a day it's a real bargain. It's only a couple short blocks from the traffic circle, and nothing in Cruz Bay is very far. Property is very comfortable and peaceful, and the sunset views from the balcony are the best on the Island. Absolutely loved St. John, and would stay at SeaSwan again with no hesitation.

This place is amazing! We had the best stay for milestone celebration of 25 yrs of marriage/turning 50! Wini was super helpful! Upon arrival fridge stocked with crackers, cheese, chips/salsa, eggs, muffins, cream, wine, soft drinks. Several coffee pods/tea bags available. Bring extra if you like kuerig as we had a hard time getting extra at store. Place has beach chairs/tent/foats/cooler. Laundry access is perfect! Comfy bed/furnishings. Fully stocked for all your needs. Best part was morning and sunset views!! Roosters crowing, birds singing. We even saw iguanas in foliage. Amazing, beautiful landscaping! It’s like a tropical paradise! My only improvement would be a small Bluetooth speaker and privacy/blackout curtains in sleeping area. We loved this place!

Wonderful Stay
We rented a jeep on St Thomas and were met at the car barge exit by Winnie. She communicated with us throughout the reservation process and answered any questions we had. We followed her to the house and she showed us everything as well as where to park. She was wonderful! We loved everything about the house. It was super clean, had a comfortable bed, and just about anything in the kitchen we could ever want. There were 2 airconditiong units, one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen/living area. We did have to use them every day as there were no breezes while we were there There was also a starter gift basket in the fridge with milk, bread, butter, eggs, muffins, cheese, crackers, chocolates, wine, soda, popcorn, cream cheese, oj, and lemonade all new and packaged. The water is purified and drinkable so that was very convenient also. There is also solar back up in case of power loss. The laundry room is steps from the entrance and there were chairs, coolers and other items for the beach. We only used the chairs, but the other item were available to use. The view is outstanding, the best we have ever had and the outdoor living space is large. The road and parking lot is paved but the roadis steep in some areas so I would recommend a Jeep or AWD vehicle rather than a car. The location on Gift Hill is convenient to beaches and town and easy to drive up to Centerline daily.

Outstanding 50th Anniversary in Paradise
My wife and I celebrated our 50th Anniversary at Sea Swan and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Winnie (one of the sweetest people you will ever meet) welcomed us and was always available if needed. The cottage, the landscaping and the gorgeous island views were incredible, as were the sunsets. Beach towels, a beach canopy, chairs and a cooler were there for our use. We were also greeted with a lovely gift basket of goodies. The bed was extremely comfortable and the air conditioning wonderful after a long day at the beach. We have to say with this being our 16th trip to the islands over the last 30 years that this stay at Sea Swan was our favorite overall. Upon our next visit to St John, Sea Swan would be our number on choice. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay!

Babymoon on St John
This was our second time on St. John and first time at this property. We were blown away by the views from inside the house and on the balcony. The property landscape is beautiful and the space inside is perfect for 2. They had everything we needed for the beach (towels, chairs, cooler, the BEST floats, tent) and also had a great welcome basket for us! The location is perfect because you can take Centerline Road into town (10 min) instead of the southern super windy roads which we preferred to do. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful apartment
We have stayed at many places on STJ but this was our favorite. Beautifully landscaped property and very spacious apartment for 2. We really enjoyed the decks and being able to open doors with screens to keep the bugs out. We had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Loved the red footed turtle that lives on the property and the 2 adorable cats that came to visit. Everything was clean and we had no issues with anything on the property, they even provided a few snacks in the fridge for us which was a very nice gesture. We will definitely book this villa again in the future. The host Winni was so sweet and I did get to chat with the owner at the driveway and we shared our love for cats. Thank you for an amazing stay on our favorite island

40th anniversary vacation
We spent two weeks at this property. Although, my first impression was a little disappointing- photos made everything look new- where it definitely is a little worn, the drive from Cruz Bay was difficult; however, as the week progressed and we settled in it felt homey and the view outstanding. Gardens were stunning and well maintained. We got more comfortable with driving on St Johns and found the island beautiful! Our host was wonderful, when we had a question or concern, she went above and beyond to make all right for us.

St. John Vacation
Lovely spot for a Caribbean vacation. We have been to St. John many times but had not stayed in this part of the island. Lovely! The views of St. Thomas were spectacular, especially in the evening, and the access to S. shore locations (Klein, Reef Bay, etc.) was awesome, as was ease of getting into Cruz Bay for supplies and dinner. We visited during a very dry period when the hills were brown, and this side of the island has a few spots that are best hidden by trees and jungle in wetter times. The noise from Center Line road was tedious at times. The property was lovely, and resembled a French Chateau in the hills. Exactly as billed. Cozy and easy to get to. The welcoming host and owner were exceptionally good, and this is the first place we have stayed in where the fridge was stocked with welcoming food and drinks for the first 24 hours. Thanks!
