Owners and renters agree –Sunset Ridge is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the lovely island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Spacious, well-equipped villas, a large pool with spectacular views and a beautifully landscaped, private setting make for the perfect vacation.


Sunset Ridge is such a special place! The units are set up to provide every convenience a vacationer could possibly want or need. They are comfortable and well appointed. They are exceptionally well maintained. The pool is beautiful and clean, and the views from the pool are spectacular. Proximity and accessibility to the various beaches is good, especially if you arrive early enough to get a parking place and a shaded spot.  At the end of a long day on the beach, it’s nice to come back to SRV and get away from the busy-ness of Cruz Bay.  While not a remote location, SRV is situated far enough from town to allow visitors to relax completely after a busy day out and about.  Memories are made here! ~ Elaine and Dave


Sunset Ridge is my favorite place to stay on St. John. True to its name the sunsets here are spectacular. The house is wonderful and very spacious. There is a private master bedroom with its own bath and then another bedroom with its own bath that has two queen size beds. The main floor is very spacious and can easily hold six people comfortably. You should give it a try! ~ Kim

My husband and I have owned at Sunset Ridge since 1997 and have spent many wonderful weeks at our home away from home with friends and family. There are only six villas in a private, secluded, nicely landscaped setting. The villas are so roomy and they have everything we need from kitchen supplies to beach towels, chairs and cabanas. We love the fact that the master suite is separate from the main house with a completely private, walled courtyard in between. The pool is huge and is a great place to meet with friends at the end of a beach day for drinks, appetizers and a fantastic sunset view! ~ Marilyn

The view from SRV is spectacular in the morning, at sunset and after dark! If the beaches weren’t so special, I could enjoy the view all day and night!! ~ Bill

SRV is a hidden oasis, with an outstanding view. We love the master suite and main unit facilities.  Cocktails at the wonderful pool are a daily event. We appreciate the continuous work by the board members and management company to keep the units properly maintained. ~ Jeanne and Charlie


After a year’s absence, we returned to Sunset Ridge Villas this spring. During the pandemic we considered that perhaps our fifteen-year ownership at SRV might be coming to a close. But every time we return we find Sunset Ridge to be little bit better than the last time we were there. And though St. John is a little bit busier now, Sunset Ridge remains quietly removed above the hubbub of downtown Cruz Bay. Yet it is enticingly close by cab or rental jeep. While the restaurants may be busy, we found all we needed in our kitchen and if something was missing it was quickly replaced. We had everything we needed for our trips to the beach. Most of the beach chairs were brand new with shoulder straps and pockets to carry lunches and tanning lotion, coolers for the essential beverages and easy to erect cabanas to provide shade at the beach. While vacationing on St. John maybe the ultimate in do-it-yourself Caribbean vacations, Sunset Ridge Villas gives you all the tools you need to do-it-yourself. We are looking forward to our return next year. ~ Bill and Marcia


Our favorite place to vacation is Sunset Ridge Villas in St John, USVI. We can’t believe the beauty of the island. Sunset Ridge Villas has all you could ask for, lovely villas, great private swimming pool and the views are wonderful. Sunsets are beautiful and different every evening. Great spot to spend quality vacation time with your family! ~ Richard and Peg


My husband and I rented two weeks at Sunset Ridge in February, 2022. We enjoyed our stay very much. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with a large, very private master bedroom, and a large loft bedroom upstairs. There are 2 bathrooms, one next to each bedroom and a half bath conveniently located off the living room. There is a living/dining room with comfortable chairs and sofas, and enough space to invite friends for a visit. Best of all, there is a private, walled outdoor deck, where we spent most of our time. A comfortable dining table, chairs, shade umbrella, and propane barbq grill were provided on the private deck. The condo was very clean and well equipped with all that we needed for the beach, for cooking complete dinners, for relaxing and for enjoying the swimming pool. There is also a washer and dryer, and plenty of linens, so you do not need to pack more than a small carry-on suitcase. Beach amenities included towels, beach chairs, a sunshade umbrella and even a nice cabana. We loved the saltwater pool, with a beautiful ocean view from the deck. The pool deck also had comfortable tables, lounge chairs, and shade umbrellas. Perhaps the best part of our stay on Sunset Ridge was the view. From a high vantage point, there is a stunning, unobstructed view of the ocean and the island of St Thomas in the distance. The private deck faces west, for views of the sunset and the lights of St Thomas in the evening. I would recommend this rental for anyone who desires a relaxing, no-fuss beach vacation. ~ Carol

My wife and I were lucky enough to visit Sunset Ridge with family members and also to rent for several years until we had the chance to buy a week of our own. We love both SRV and the beautiful island of St. John. Perfect place to relax and unwind! ~ Dave

We are new owners at Sunset Ridge Villas. We spent 2 weeks there in early March 2022. We’ve been visiting St. John for over 20 years and always spent a lot of time searching for the perfect location to stay.  We were fortunate to meet other owners in Cruz Bay a few years ago. They were kind enough to give us a tour of their villa and answer our numerous questions.  We felt the purchase price and annual fees were a great value and investment based on our numerous stays on the island. We love the amount of space including a private courtyard, furniture and grill. Having two buildings (master suite and main house) allows for more living space and privacy for our guests.  Everything was spotless and we had access to property managers as needed.  Beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and beach towels are in the villa and we used them every day!  The pool and views are amazing!  A plus for us is that this is a 6 unit property and doesn’t feel commercial but truly like our own space.  As we left the island we started talking about our March 2023 trip!~ Paulette and Lance

I like to BBQ so having a gas grill in our private courtyard is great. Nothing better than grilling a nice piece of fish or a juicy steak and enjoying it at the courtyard table while overlooking the lights of St. Thomas. Sunsets at the pool are pretty spectacular too. ~ Gary
