About this villa rental
Featured on HGTV’s ‘Caribbean Life’, Meritage Great House has everything you need to experience paradise.
Meritage Great House is situated on a scenic hillside of the very desirable location of Chocolate Hole, Cruz Bay.
Just a short five-minute drive from the ferry dock and downtown Cruz Bay where you can find the best restaurants and shopping on the island.
The house overlooks the Caribbean Ocean which allows you to relax poolside and listen to the surf roll in from Hart Bay Beach which is just a short five-minute car ride down from the house.
Meritage Great House has 4 large, air-conditioned bedrooms each with their own private ensuite bathroom. The 4th bedroom can be either set-up with a king size bed or 2 twin beds, The house has three levels, with bedrooms on each level, allowing for privacy.
The living area and kitchen are on the top deck, fully air conditioned. You can also enjoy the gentle breeze from the Caribbean Ocean. The fully equipped kitchen with Italian granite countertops is a great place to create a feast. Or you may simply want to grill out and enjoy your BBQ by the pool.
Relax on the sundeck around the private pool and wrap around covered decks on two levels, many different gathering places for your group, and secluded places for privacy. Lay in the hammock sipping your favorite cocktail while you watch a dramatic Caribbean sunset.
From the decks, you can see in the distance the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas which make the perfect spot for morning coffee and pictures with friends & family.
We look forward to hearing from you.

We loved our stay at Meritage Great House. Amazing views, fun wildlife like Iguanas in the trees and the pool was perfect. The bedrooms are good size with comfortable mattresses. The kitchen has everything you need and the open concept worked well with our family. We were grateful for the AC at night but otherwise didn't really use them. The location is great - outside of the Cruz Bay buzz but close enough to enjoy Cruz Bay if you so desire.

Loved the view. Liked the convenience of being close to Cruz Bay and on the way to the many beaches we visited. The beach chairs were used every day of our vacation.

Great place to stay. Being able to see the waves roll into the bay and catch the sunset daily from the balcony was awesome!

We arrived in St John on the 14th of March and checked in around 6pm. The power went out around 10pm and we got full power on Tuesday.The place is beautiful and we would have enjoyed it so much more if we had AC,electricity and running water.The owners are very nice and they need to get a generator.as their house was not that much cheaper than the ones that have one.
