Description

St. John villa expert Betsy

Know Before You Go...®

Sea Forever is perfectly named, because no matter where you are in the house, you can always see the ocean view. Sea Forever Villa is a great place to host big vacations with friends or families, and offers lots of open space for up to eight guests. The multi-level decks have ample space to sunbathe, dine, and lounge al fresco. Best of all, it’s only a 5-minutes drive to the beach or town!

Amazing views!

Sea Forever enjoys incredible views above St. John’s southwestern shore. This lovely property in Chocolate Hole is close to Cruz Bay, but still feels private.

The villa enjoys 180º panoramas of the ocean, St. Thomas, and the sunsets. Five levels of exterior space gives guests ample space to lounge and relax outside. On the lower level, there is an outdoor dining set beneath a covered balcony. The pool deck holds a freeform pool, several loungers, and a couple palm trees. A short staircase leads up to the “party deck” where guests can dine al fresco, grill on the barbecue, and soak in the hot tub. There’s also a wet bar, an outdoor kitchen, and an adjacent observation deck. The balcony is slightly elevated above this level and stretches across the width of the villa. Guests can relax in the swinging chair, loungers, or armchairs. Sea Forever offers state of the art WiFi throughout the villa, and a full outdoor audio system for music streaming.

The gorgeous, open-concept Great Room is surrounded by glass sliding doors that frame the view. The interior has an elegant beach house vibe, with white slipcovered furnishings and pale, honey-hued wood accents. Guests can watch movies on the flatscreen TV, enjoy coffee at the breakfast bar, and cook any meal in the spacious kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a massive center island, and elegant pendant lighting. A circular alcove holds the formal dining room, where up to eight guests can feast amongst tropical views.

Each of Sea Forever’s bedrooms has a king bed, a flatscreen TV, and an ensuite bathroom. Four of the five suites have access to a terrace or balcony, and both of the lower level suites can only be accessed from the exterior. On the main level, there are three suites total. One of these suites can be made up with two twin beds instead of a king, and has exterior access to the outdoor common areas. This level’s master suite attaches to the living room through a covered balcony.

Sea Forever enjoys ample parking space, so guests can easily park multiple rental cars. The villa is a quick drive from Cruz Bay’s shops, restaurants, and bars. The North Shore’s white sand beaches are close enough for an afternoon excursion, and there are several hiking trails around the area to explore.

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

Sea Forever Villa is a well-appointed, modern, beautiful place to stay in St. John. The views are incredible! It is a 10-minute drive to Cruz Bay, which made it convenient for our family. It is spacious and relaxing. We would highly recommend!

WhereToStay.com is an excellent resource when booking a trip in St. John. They helped us coordinate everything—airport transfers, taxi service, and even excursions if we wanted! They are always quick to reply and very efficient. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Stay!

star star star star star

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

Sea Forever Villa was a perfect fit for our group of 9. It’s in a great location - close to town but also close to the 104 for heading north or east without going back through Cruz Bay. The main living space is beautifully decorated, the kitchen is completely outfitted with all the utensils, dishes, glasses you could need- even down to a drawer full of coozies!
Everything worked perfectly – from the AC in each bedroom to the hot tub, to the pool. And of course, the views are stunning. And so many outside patios for taking it in!

Betsy and her team at WhereToStay made our trip so easy and catered to our every need. From ordering groceries, to meeting for check-in, to answering questions we had about St John, they were so responsive and kind.

Excellent Villa

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

We have never stayed in Chocolate Hole before in 5 times on the island but were greatly pleased with this location. You definitely can see 180 degrees, can see St Thomas and the Saint James islands from this high location also overlooking Great Cruz Bay. The pool is great, nice and big and deep enough for staying cool. Very close to groceries, gas and drug store. And very close to the great dining in Cruz Bay.

Large living area with kitchen and dining room on top floor with the balcony to relax on and view the water and islands. Large windows and doors to look out from. TV offers multiple channels and all A/Cs functioned well. Plenty of fans in all rooms and outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Couldn’t be happier working with Where To Stay and Jean!

Our villa exceeded our expectations in every way! The quality of the home was firs class. It fit our group perfectly! The service provided was phenomenal from the planning, payment, follow ups, professional correspondence, picking us up to bring us to the villa and the responsiveness. We could not have been more pleased! Thank you, we will use you again. The views were breathtaking, beds were extremely comfortable, villa was super clean and well- stocked. Thank you for the surprise in the refrigerator!

Our experience was extremely enhanced by Jean’s professional correspondence, coaching on how to maximize our experience and timely responsiveness. We were all blown away by the service provided and we are happy to recommend Jean and WhereToStay! Thank you Jean and team!

star star star star star

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

All I can say is…it’s a hard yes!!! You have to stay at Sea Forever. The views are absolutely insane!! Morning coffee with a view of the beautiful St. John and St. Thomas is incredible and the sunsets are even more breathtaking. I could have sat on the balcony for hours to take it all in, which I did.

The house was spotless…Absolutely gorgeous. It is stocked so well. We had everything we needed to cook, beach chairs and coolers for the beach days. It’s also a very close drive into town. Our meals out were incredible in St. John!! The home is very close to grocery stores. A 4wd jeep is a must though. The house is high above the Westin hotel so you need a jeep to navigate the roads. That isn’t a difficult task at all though.

All rooms are so nice and cool very well. Wifi was exceptional. We watched lots of movies at night. They have surround sound throughout the house. I’m telling you, it’s incredible. I want Sea Forever to be my go to home for my future visits to St. John. I’m ready to go back now!!

Shawna and Where to Stay are first class. They have my business forever.

My family of 9 stayed at Sea Forever to celebrate my 80th birthday. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We were amazed at the attention to detail that made this villa like something in the movies! We watched the fireworks on the 4th from our deck and enjoyed sunsets and rainbows. Kudos to the owners for providing a magical experience!

Shawna and her staff were extremely accommodating in providing suggestions and answering numerous questions.

Sea Forever was AMAZING

star star star star star

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

Wow, we just returned from St John yesterday. I certainly didn’t want to leave because Sea Forever did NOT dissapoint. The house is located on top of a hill and just has SPECTACTULAR views of the water as well as the East side of St Thomas. Everything about the house is first class. We traveled with 4 other couples and everyone was so happy with our decision to stay at Sea Forever. All the rooms have super nice furnishings including Large TV’s and even Internet Radio in every room in the house. Also, it’s really close to a grocery store and all the shops and restaurants in Cruz Bay. Oh and if there’s anything that you need - just call Dino the Maintenance man - we saw him like 5 different times and he was so helpful and shared so much local knowledge that made our trip more fun. There’s no doubt, the next time we go to St John we will certainly stay at Sea Forever.

Where to Stay is absolutely Top Notch. Shawna was so helpful and quick to answer any questions we had about the house. Everything she told us was correct such as the house had like 8 beach chairs, beach towels and several coolers that we used for the beach so we didn’t have to bring anything from home. Shawna’s service and professionalism was great. Thanks again Shawna for making our trip so wonderful!

We brought our mother for her 75th birthday celebration and have stayed at several different villas on St. John. This one is now our favorite! The views are absolutely incredible and the sunsets spectacular! It’s beautifully decorated and the pool and hot tub were perfect! Highly recommend!

Shawna was wonderful and very accommodating and so helpful when we unexpectedly had to change our dates.

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

Sea Forever villa was beyond expectations! My family was wowed by this beautiful and comfortable home. The location lent itself to gorgeous views. We could have stayed at Sea Forever the entire week and not ventured out! Every room was delightfully appointed. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed and so much more. The outdoor space was gorgeous and so enjoyable. I cannot say enough about this fabulous property.

Where to Stay and Shawna were extremely helpful every step of the way! The website was the best I’ve seen for getting information and learning about the destination. Arrival and departure instructions were very helpful and definitely eased our minds in traveling to St. John. I would highly recommend Where to Stay and Shawna to anyone traveling in the Caribbean. Thank you, thank you for the positive experience.

Sea Forever... Memories Forever

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

We have stayed on St John many times and Sea Forever offers one of the best views, pools and kitchens. We had five couples and there was plenty of room for everyone. The pool area gets plenty of sun in the afternoon and a great place to hang at night and enjoy the view of St Thomas. The kitchen was well stocked and has a large circular table with water views. The long driveway is a plus as well, making it easy to get in and out. We will always remember our week at Sea Forever.

Shawna was very nice and very professional. She was on top of everything, especially pre-arrival.

We can’t say enough about this stunning villa! It was a gorgeous house with every amenity anyone would want. The best thing about the place is the unbelievable 180° views of the Caribbean! Incredibly we had both sunset & sunrise views. The rooms were all beautifully appointed and roomy. The location is great as well. Supermarkets close by as well as restaurants. Highly recommend!!!

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

This is was our third trip that Shawna lined up for us in St. John and cannot say enough about how nice the place was. This was one of the first places I stayed where I felt the pictures online just don’t do it justice. Not only was everything absolutely beautiful it was one of the cleanest places we have every stayed. Everything was in perfect working condition and beyond nice. I was amazed at how well the villa had been taken care of. there wasn’t a single broken tile or anything out of disrepair - very nice place.

Awesome - will never go to the Caribbean without using her.

Dream Vacation

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

Sea Forever Villa has a million dollar view! I guess that is the way to describe it.  Wherever you sat, outside, inside, your view was there.  The villa is gorgeous and with 6 people we still had privacy from each other when we needed it.  Pool and hot tub was ideal.  Bedrooms are beautiful and spacious.Only one note regarding bedrooms, one of the bedrooms by the pool area has the utility closet off of it and the tank makes an annoying noise when it comes on and turns off and you can hear it all the way up to the upstairs bedroom when people use the water even at night. You can drown it out with putting the are cleaner in front of the closet. Other than that Sea Forever had everything you needed at your finger tips.  Thank you Sea Forever Villa for making our first visit to St. John, fun, relaxing and a dream.  We will definitely be back.  Cheers, Lisa from Upstate NY

Working with WhereToStay.com and Shawna made everything come together beautifully.  No stress.  I was trying to make reservations with another online company and I kept getting the run around.  Shawna was very patient with me in trying to make a decision on the right villa for our group. Thank you so much for all the extra tips on the Taxi Service and other ideas and answering all my questions Ha!  We will be using WhereToStay.com for when we return and I have already recommended you to several people already.

Sea Forever Villa, St. John villa review

I stayed at the Sea Forever in July 2007 with my husband and three teenagers (two were 18, and one was 13).  We had a great time.

The villa was clean, and close to the Westin which was good since we had other family staying there.  It was a little high up on the hill, but the view was well worth it. 

The only problems we had were that the gas to cook ran out, but they were there the next morning to fix it. Another problem was the mosquitos loved me a little too much. 

However, we are going back again in August 2008.
