We're looking for a 5 BR preferably on Cruz Bay side. A lot of newcomers to the island. Pool is essential. Not opposed to north shore places. Any help is appreciated!

A few years ago my wife and I stayed at Eden's Whim with 4 other couples. The 5 bedrooms are all nice and there's a very large pool. There are a number of gathering places in and around the house, and plenty of room to spread out as well... The villa itself is gorgeous and located in Chocolate Hole...

I second Eden's Whim. We just returned from our second stay there. All 5 bedrooms are great sizes, wonderful outdoor space, and a large pool to accommodate the entire group. Absolutely beautiful.

What is your budget? I have always wanted to stay at Villa Tesori and also Island Stones. We stayed at Vistaero before it was bought and remodeled. The view and pool deck were gorgeous! It is on Destination St. John. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

I second Villa Tesori (but I AM partial to it lol). We've added a hot tub!!! 5 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and individual AC units in each bedroom.New furniture in Family Room (seats 10 comfortably)! Every amenity you could need!!

I second Villa Tesori...It is gorgeous and in your budget. Have been looking at it for an upcoming trip as well.

Only problem with Villa Tesori is that we have newbies coming and sort of want to get the Cruz Bay experience. I know it's not that far from town but our preference would be something within walking distance or a 5 min drive. If we were going with regulars, that place would be awesome. Anyone stay at Reefside Villa?

How about Great Expectations? Anybody stay there recently? Thanks!

Have not stayed at Reefside Villa but there is a review from April on their VRBO page.
Great Expectations is not close to Cruz Bay..
But I don't think there are many 5BR villas that will be close to Cruz Bay.
Do you all want to stay in one villa? Another option could be to get separate units at Grande Bay and have your own privacy, or even get a 3 BR unit..

Slightly above your budget but look at Oceana.
