It is fully air-conditioned and can accommodate 7 people. It also has a central courtyard, a pool, shaded gazebo, and covered walkways that connect the living room with the bedroom. You can take a quick trip to the shops and restaurants in Cruz Bay or drive north to hit the beach. Everything is easy to access from this villa because of its central location.
