the villa

Welcome to Tranquility, a sexy little villa on beautiful St. John, US Virgin Islands, where the living is easy, the views are lovely and nature abounds. This charming and romantic little villa is perfect for a couple or a small family. It is a wonderfully breezy, easy kind of place to unwind and relax, an oasis of natural beauty year round – where care and sensitivity to the environment have made Tranquility a special retreat for the eye and soul.

Tranquility is nestled in the trees on a secluded knoll above Fish Bay on the one side and the luxuriously secluded Reef Bay on the other. Fish Bay is a quiet residential area on the south shore with a mix of residences and vacation villas. Only 10 minutes from Cruz Bay, it is convenient for trips to St. John’s North Shore beaches or dinner in town.

Honeymoon couples have especially enjoyed the tropical appeal of Tranquility with its special blend of nature and romance, spectacular sunsets and a panoramic view of the night sky in a quiet setting amongst the trees. The villa can also accommodate a small family - the futon in the den opens to a full size double bed with an overhead ceiling fan to cool the room, which opens onto the front verandah with a view of the bay. There is also a twin size daybed in the master suite, which has a king size bed and optional A/C.



Tranquility is a very private and unique little villa with high ceilings and 1,000 + sq. ft of living space, which includes wrap around decks for sunning, sunset viewing and stargazing. A full kitchen, lovely dining area, cozy den, bedroom suite and a large bathroom are new and freshly furnished. Its’ interior reflects the best of Caribbean simplicity in taste and design including all the amenities and conveniences desirable for a carefree, memorable island experience.

The house is surrounded by big shade trees to the back and sides, offering complete privacy, while the front view of the Bay affords a clear vista of the water and a full panorama of the incredible night sky. You will fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the virgin forest and wake to the soft sounds of birds singing.

Tranquility's Pool

Enjoy the natural cooling provided by the canopy of native shade trees and the glorious trade winds wafting through the open and spacious little home, or use the recently installed optional air conditioning in the large master suite. Tranquility is eco friendly; solar panels heat the water and a short nature walk along a garden path carries you through an herb garden to the large (15 x 30') pool. Guests are welcome to pick fresh basil and other herbs for their salads and will enjoy having the pool to themselves.


Short walks will take you down a path to the breathtaking Reef Bay within the National Park and to Cocoloba Beach and other nature trails. Reef Bay has a luxurious, long beach and is a shell seeker’s dream. Off the beaten path and with no roads directly to the beach, it is possible to have this famous National Park beach all to your self!

Tranquility’s builder is a fine craftsman, which is reflected in the beautiful floors inlaid from a gorgeous selection of South American hardwoods and other distinctive touches of a true artisan. The owner, a local artist of international renown whose artwork enhances the easy charm and comfort of this well-appointed villa, has decorated Tranquility.

All furnishings, fixtures and linens are new and fresh. The artist's husband landscaped many of the finest properties on the island including nearby Guavaberry Farms, a veritable Garden of Eden, which blends ecology with pure native and exotic beauty.


Only 10 minutes away, Cruz Bay boasts award-winning restaurants and unique artist-designer owned and operated shops at Mongoose Junction and “around town.” It is a fun place to be when you feel like dining out, shopping, socializing. The National Parks' forests and beaches are close by.

guest comments
Janet and Andy – As if “Tranquility” were not enough – as if the exquisite views were not enough – as if the ambiance of being in a forest preserve was not enough – your art work, Janet, was the topping on the cake! For a third honeymoon – this was all perfection. Coni & John - Wash. DC – Mar – April 2011
We have loved our hideaway holiday, from each hazy dawn to every sleepy dusk. Tranquility describes itself perfectly. It gave us peace to go back to our childhoods and marvel at creation…thank you! Paul & Sue - Sheffield, UK

These were eleven of the most perfect days that we have ever experienced…This was our honeymoon and reunion all at the same time. Needless to say, we had high expectations, and the trip far exceeded those expectations. Tranquility was the perfect home for us, we loved everything about it. Perfect house, perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect everything…We want to tell everyone about this place, but we also want to keep it a secret. It’s that good. Beau & Rachel - Minneapolis, MN
Dear Janet and Andy – Our experience at this house exceeded our expectations in every way. The crib for our son, the beach toys... checking in on us without bothering us... you guys really know what you are doing. This cottage was perfect for our small family and it and you truly made our trip exceptional... all the best, Jeff & Anna, Raleigh, NC – Feb. 2011

Thank you, Andy and Janet – what a magical place! We could not have chosen a more beautiful & perfect spot for our honeymoon! You both were so wonderful and helped make this the best week of our lives! Can't wait to come back! Cyrus & Silvia – NYC – March 2011
Janet & Andy – Staying at Tranquility here on St. John has been a great way to celebrate our anniversary. Your villa is so restful and homey – we love the architecture, the colors and your artwork. We had a great time snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay and visiting the beaches, especially the little adventure down the path to the rugged Reef Bay. Weather has been perfect the whole time we were here. Thank you for greeting us that first night as we got waylaid by flight issues and having some sustenance to get us through to morning was a blessing. Kathy & Tom, Cleveland OH – Feb. 2011
Tranquility Cottage is wonderfully named, a quiet haven for stargazing, reading and lots of relaxation overlooking lovely Fish Bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, the perfect base for exploring the island by foot and water... Kathy & Steve – St. Paul, MN – March 2011
Dear Janet & Andy, thanks for a wonderful and memorable “Weddingmoon”. It was so nice to have our own place to come back to each evening, to make dinner and eat on the deck and to just relax and enjoy…it has been a perfect, peaceful getaway. Thanks for all your hospitality. Tranquility is great and we enjoyed all your personal touches! Amy & Rick - York, PA (married on Hawksnest)

Andy and Janet, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Tranquility was a great place to call home for 2 weeks – thank you, Chris & Amy – Newport, VT – May, 2011
What a wonderful island, and what a lovely place to stay! Tranquility was the perfect place for us... thank you for helping us make these holidays exceptional. We took hundreds of pictures... we will miss Trunk, Hawksnest, Honeymoon beaches and many more magical places but we will definitely be back in the future. MERCI, Anne-Sophie, Thierry & Elise – L.A., CA - July, 2011
Many thanks for such a delightful place to hang our fins whiles on St. John. The cottage was so comfortable. We loved the fully equipped kitchen, the deck and the view. The artwork too! We have so many more beaches and trails to explore. We’ll definitely be back. Teri, Steve & Sara – Lincoln , MA
