Nancy's Folly Villa - Fabulous Home - overlooking dazzling Rendezvous Bay
Nancy’s Folly is located above Rendezvous Bay on the southern shore of St John known for its gentle, continuous breezes. Take in sweeping views of numerous turquoise bays spanning Ram’s Head point on your left to St Croix with its sparkling lights directly in the distance and Boatman Point to your right. Situated in a quiet, exclusive neighborhood only 5 minutes to downtown Cruz Bay (2.25 miles), it is lush with bougainvillea and orchids. Nancy’s Folly is the perfect place to relax while enjoying the soothing sounds of the local coqui and lapping waves below.
This beautiful home has two bedrooms (one king and one queen), each with A/C, and two baths. The King Bedroom has sliding doors overlooking the bay and an ensuite bathroom featuring a large stone shower. The Queen Bedroom has a comfortable four poster bed and a large shower in the adjoining full bathroom.
The newly updated breezeway to the entry has only four steps to the pavers surrounded by glorious orchids and an organic herb garden .
The floor plan of Nancy’s Folly is all on one level, so it’s great for all ages! The Great Room and King Bedroom have smart TVs with Firesticks already loaded with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Peacock/NBC Sports and News, Pandora Music and more. There is free WiFi, indoor and outdoor dining areas, new washer & dryer, hair dryers, beach towels, beach chairs, beach towels, courtesy snorkel equipment, various coolers and more.
Luxuriously outfitted with 100% cotton Italian bed linens, plush Turkish cotton Bath towels, hair dryer, soap, shampoo and conditioner.
The spacious 40 foot deck with outdoor teak dining set, conversation seating and comfy lounge chairs is the perfect place to relax after a day of beach exploration or enjoying your morning coffee while watching the local bananaquits flock to the hanging sugar feeder.
There is a fully stocked kitchen with a new French door refrigerator, gas oven, microwave, toaster, convection toaster oven, blender and dual Drip/Keurig Coffee Maker.
The cistern water is triple filtered with UV light ensuring clean water at all times. A Weber Propane grill on the garden side makes it easy to enjoy dining in-house while the dishwasher makes clean up a breeze. An onsite generator lets you rest assured that there will be electricity at all times.

Elise was an amazing host! She was 5 plus. Nancy's Folky was the perfect location with all we needed for home and the beach!!! The sunrise and sunsets are breathtaking! We will be back!!!
My husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law stayed here for a week in this lovely well equipped rental with a fabulous view overlooking Rendezvous Bay. From the start, Elise was most helpful. We loved every minute here!
Place was absolutely perfect for me and my family , couldnt have asked for anything more , location was great not far at all from town or beaches but still quiet the view is amazing Elise was amazing verry helpful ,happy host. When we come back we wont be looking for another place thats for sure .
We are a family of three adults and the house more than met our needs. It is well furnished and comfortable with a gorgeous view. It is situated a few minutes drive to Cruz Bay and grocery stores but far enough away to be peaceful. Communicating with Elise, the property manager, was easy and she was incredibly helpful. We would definitely stay there again having been to St. John five times now.
The house was more than we expected. Beautifully decorated. Fresh flowers in vases . Local and historical art work . Everything you needed for beach, snorkel gear, float toys, coolers, beach chairs. Did I mention the view? spectacular.
My daughter (age 15) and I stayed for a week at Nancy's Folly. It was perfect! The villa was well appointed and had everything we needed and more. We didn't need the AC once, the breeze coming off the ocean was perfect and there's nothing like waking up to a view. The property manager, Elise, was quick to answer any questions. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting St. John.
The villa was extremely clean and well maintained. It was actually nicer than the pictures indicate. Great view. Close to Cruz Bay. The contact person who lives downstairs was helpful, informative, and accommodating (and we barely knew she was there).
We definitely recommend.
We fell in love with this place and are already making plans to return. Our top 3 reasons for our 5 star rating is as follows:1.million dollar view 2. Super clean3. Wonderful location to amenties, beaches and restaurants and yet it was very quiet and peaceful on the property itselfWe also loved waking up and spending time on the balcony in the morning drinking coffee and reading. This property also includes all of the items needed for a day at the beach! The property manager made herself readily available if we needed her and met us at the car barge to show us how to get to the property. You will not be disappointed if you rent this villa!2. yetthiproperty
We had such a wonderful week at Nancy's Folly! Check in was very easy - Elise met us at the ferry dock and helped us get to the house and get settled, even helping us get dinner, since we got in sort of late! The house is beautiful, better even than the pictures. The beds and furniture were very comfortable and nice. The kitchen was well stocked for the cooking we did. Having laundry on-site was especially helpful. And the view from the balcony is stunning. We rented a jeep and were glad for the strength of the vehicle, as there are some very steep hills to climb to get to the house from Cruz Bay. It was a little tricky to back out of the driveway (or to try to maneuver the jeep to back into the driveway), but we got better at that as the week went on.I snorkeled multiple days in Rendezvous Bay, entering the water at Klein Bay. The entry was rocky and somewhat challenging, but the snorkeling was good, especially out toward Ditleff Beach. It was so great to have good snorkeling so close to home - just a 5 min drive down to Klein Bay.Elise was an excellent host - available and helpful, very knowledgeable about the island. We would definitely stay here again!
Nancy's Folly is the perfect location -- mid-height on hill, south side so not too windy and a mere 8-minute drive into Cruz Bay and its restaurants and shops. The driveway into Nancy's Folly is steep but fully paved and otherwise a dream compared to others on the island I've experienced. But the #1 feature that lured me in to Nancy's Folly: The Porch! With the hot Caribbean sun, shade coverage is important, and the long, covered porch -- complete with outside dining for 4, loungers and conversational "hang out" seating -- is absolute perfection. I spent a lot of time enjoying the porch and its beautiful views, including watching the cute little yellow Bananaquit birds that flew up to dine at the bird feeder. The A/C in the bedrooms worked well and with the ceiling fans made sleeping wonderful. However, the un-air-conditioned main living space could get really warm when the breeze was soft. Elise, the property manager, was responsive to unanticipated issues and made amazingly speedy efforts to correct. Thank you Nancy's Folly and Elise for a very enjoyable week!
This property was outstanding! Spacious, clean, and just breathtaking views. The big porch overlooking the water is so peaceful and relaxing. Elyse made sure we had everything we needed and even had floats and snorkels for our children. When we arrived on the island, Elyse made sure there was someone waiting for us to show us the way to the villa. 5 stars all the way for Nancy's Folly!
Nancy’s Folly was a terrific spot for our family of 4. House was equipped with everything we needed and more for our spring break. Very clean and Elise the property manager was a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely stay again.
Great property, beautiful views. Airconditioning in bedrooms only, but there's a great breeze in the living and kitchen area so we never got too hot. We really enjoyed our stay here!
Beautiful view of Rendezvous Bay. Easy access to Cruz Bay restaurants and shopping. Provided everything you could need with Property manager living below for additional requests or questions. Great relaxing vacation!
This is a perfect condo for a family of 4 on St John. Well stocked kitchen and perfect balcony. Great communication with Elise (the property manager) and she made sure we had everything we needed for the beach.
Great 2 br house, with incredible views. The property manager, Jackie and Michele were wonderful with any questions and assistance we needed.

A stunning open layout with a deck you will never want to leave! Elise, the on-site property manager is a gem - knows everything about the island and very helpful, while maintaining your privacy
Everything was fantastic on the trip. The location, views, accommodations, especially the nice large kitchen, the long deck and great furniture for lounging and playing cards. Our host was super friendly and informative. Planning to come back next year.
