DESCRIPTION: Cinnamon Ridge was chosen as HGTV's Caribbean House of the year in 2020. The villa is an elegant 5-bedroom 5.5 bath home with a pool, hot tub, and a Tesla battery backup system for your comfort. The villa was completely renovated in 2019 and the results are stunning. From top to bottom, every aspect of this home was designed with a guest's comfort in mind.
The home has a gated entrance, and you approach the villa from below and drive up to the parking area on the upper level. You will then follow the tropical walkway, which is beautifully accented with colorful flowers which you will enjoy as you make your way to the front entrance. Once you open your front door, you will be in awe as your eyes will be immediately drawn to the wall of glass that looks out to the ever-changing colors of the Caribbean blue seas.
The centerpiece of Cinnamon Ridge is the great room, which includes your kitchen, living and dining area, all which look out to the gorgeous views. On opposite sides of the great room are the two primary bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. There is an interior staircase down to the lower level, which includes three additional guest bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. From every room in this home, you have the spectacular views that will take your breath away.
For those of you that may have to do some work during your vacation, though we hope this is not the case, the owner has added Starlink Speed Internet, which has an upload speed of 32Mbps.
On the far left of the home is your expansive sun deck, which includes your private saltwater pool, hot tub, covered outside seating and wet bar area with a flat screen TV. If you are someone that prefers to have a heated pool, this amenity can be added to your reservation at an additional cost ($62 per day). Be sure to mention this at the time you make your reservation so everything will be set for your arrival.

LOCATION: Cinnamon Ridge is located 530 feet above the white sands of Cinnamon Bay, on St. John's fabulous north shore. This neighborhood is much like Peter Bay and is one of St. John's most beautiful and desirable settings. In this unspoiled setting in the midst of the National Park you are surrounded by a naturalist's world of sea, sky, and pristine parklands. To get to Cinnamon Ridge you drive past your neighbors on Watapama Road.
Cinnamon Ridge is the last home on this dead end road, and thanks to the private driveway, there is no drive by or turn around traffic (none). Even by St. John's high standards, this is an unusually peaceful, quiet and private location. The 200 degree view from every room is absolutely lovely and includes Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, a dozen other islands, turquoise seas, and powder white sand beaches. Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, and Jumbie Bay lie below you and offer what travel writers have described as some of the world's finest swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, and beaching.
It's a 15 minute drive into or from Cruz Bay, with the villa being accessed from either the Centerline Road or the North Shore Road. If traveling from the Centerline Road, you will drive by some sugar mill ruins on your way to the villa. If traveling the North Shore Road, it is a beautiful drive along the coastline into the National Park. You will make an invigorating turn up the hill for a fun and adventuresome ride. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended, as local taxi service is not available in this neighborhood.
LVING & DINING: The 700 sq. ft air-conditioned living room is spacious and beautifully decorated. You will comfortably settle into this living space. Stream your favorite shows on the flat screen TV or sit back with your favorite tropical beverage and gaze out to the turquoise seas and watch the boats glide by on the open water.
To the right of the living room is your interior dining area, which also shares the same spectacular views. The dining table comfortably seats 10 or if you prefer dining outside, there is a deck off the living room with an outside table that seats 8. For a casual lunch, there is a dining table on the sun deck which seats 6 as well as a covered area with table and chairs to relax with your morning coffee.
KTICHEN: The well-equipped kitchen is located behind the interior dining room and faces out to the amazing views. Should you choose to dine in, you will enjoy preparing a delicious meal while family and friends gather around the kitchen island. You will enjoy many laughs and create many memories during these times together. Or should you prefer to be pampered, hire a private chef and have them create a mouth-watering meal for you. Included in your kitchen is a gas cooktop stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker, K-cups, French press and the always important blender.
BEDROOMS: Each of the 5 air-conditioned bedrooms are beautifully decorated and accented with soothing and serene colors, perfect for lulling you into a restful night's sleep. The 2 primary bedrooms are located on the main level, each with a king bed, ocean views, and a bathroom, with stone tiled showers. The 3 additional guest bedrooms are located on the lower level and are accessed by an interior staircase. The air-conditioned guest bedrooms (1 king, 2 twins that convert to a king, and 2 queens) include en-suite bathrooms and are connected by a common hallway, making the layout perfect for families traveling with children. All the bedrooms include flat screen smart TVs, screen sliders that can be opened to the tropical breezes, and private balconies.
