Welcome to Hilloway!

"Hilloway" is a large, two story private home located on St. John, the most beautiful of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The house is sited on the southwest coast of the island, on a peninsula that separates Great Cruz Bay and Turner Bay. By car, Hilloway is less than five minutes from the main town of Cruz Bay.

The lower level of the east end of Hilloway was constructed as a separate (and private) two-room apartment that could accommodate visiting families of up to four persons. Here is a floorplan of this apartment:

Floorplan of the Hilloway Apartment



The Hilloway Apartment Main Room.

The Hilloway Apartment Kitchen.

As you can see, the main room of the apartment (to the right in the floorplan drawing) has a fully-equipped kitchen as well as a "living room" with two sofas and a chair.

The living room has a cable television, a radio, as well as a telephone. Both of the two front-room sofas are actually full-length twin beds, so this apartment can sleep up to four adults comfortably.


The Hilloway Apartment Bedroom.

The bedroom has a king-size bed, a full bath, and a walk-in closet. In the closet, you will find a cooler and beach chairs that you may take with you to any of St. John's beaches for the day. As you can see, there are also chairs and a chest of drawers in the bedroom itself.


View from the Deck of the Hilloway Apartment.

Large sliding glass doors in both rooms open out onto a breezy deck that affords nice views of the Carribean Sea and the islands of St. Thomas, Great St. James, and Little St. James. The view of St. Thomas is particularly striking at night. See the photo to the right.


Private Pool at the Hilloway Apartment.

As you exit either room and turn to your right, it's only a few steps to Hilloway's built-in, tiled pool. Here you may relax after a day at one of St. John's beautiful beaches, or after hiking one of the many trails in the U.S. National Park which encompasses about 50 per cent of the island.


Entrance to Hilloway.

Or, if you exit your apartment and walk along the deck to the left, a few steps up will take you to an area set aside for your rental car. Cruz Bay, the main village on St. John, is about five minutes from Hilloway by car, and the various beaches and trails are between 7 and 45 minutes from your apartment, depending upon where you choose to go. See one of the links below for some suggestions concerning where you might rent a car on the island.
