Battery Hill 2 – St. John, USVI

July 7th, 2012 Filed Under: St John Villas

As much as a person would like to go for the pricey yet luxurious condo rental Caribbean islands have to offer, practicality and financial income can become an issue for many. Aside from being excessively yet justifiably expensive, the typical, expensive Caribbean condominium doesn’t cater for physically active vacationists’ needs, due to a lack of nearby facilities, business establishments, plus more.

For the restless vacationers working on a budget, Battery Hill 2 may be the ideal type of accommodation they may be looking for. Significantly much more inexpensive as compared to its pricier condo rental Caribbean counterparts, it too offers excellent views of the magnificent ocean and boats sailing across the water.

Located on St. John, USVI, the Batter Hill 2 is nestled on top of a hill, yet offers easy access to the nearby town and even modernized accommodations. This allows vacationists to take strolls and appreciate the beauty of local infrastructure, or pick up a few needs and wants downtown whenever desired.

Each unit is filled with tropical and modernized furniture plus fixtures, therefore retaining the “far-away island” experience tourists crave for. Also, the rooms can be kept at desirable temperatures (regardless of the Caribbean heat) thanks to ample air-conditioning units working alongside ceiling fans. Furthermore, a kitchen for concocting favorite meals and television sets for indoor entertainment are included as well.

This Caribbean condominium also features different types of suites, namely: Suite Sea Breeze, Palm Breezes and Sand Dollar – each one comes with its own outdoor private decks for guests to do whatever they want while enjoying the sunset or sunrise over the Caribbean Sea. Moreover, it’s a great spot for couples to have a glass of their favorite wine or champagne, or share a romantic dinner while being caressed by the reinvigorating sea breeze.

To help vacationers stay active is a swimming pool and access to the beach nearby. For those interested in hiking, a map can be acquired from the V.I. National Park Visitor’s Center in Cruz Bay. From there, a hike can be selected based on the guest’s preferences and physical abilities.

While this Caribbean condominium offers some pretty tasty food of its own, heading out to town to find a good restaurant to dine at with family and friends is always an option. Here, tourists will be pleased to find a variety of restaurants plus cafes to choose from.

Truly a reputable and affordable condo rental Caribbean vacation hotspot, Battery Hill 2 can easily cater for all its guests’ needs while offering great value in return.

Many of them end on a plateaux high in the sky, offering panoramic views of white beaches, emerald cays, and turquoise waters. The island’s long standing, enviable international reputation is not solely based on the pristine beaches, warm weather, and crystal-clear waters – St John is also the most culturally diverse, ethnically rich, and artistically vibrant society in the tropics.  The island’s biggest asset is its sun-kissed people. The residents are island-spiced, friendly and quick to smile. Contemporary Virgin Islanders are literally from everywhere. St John is as diverse as the peaceful Arawak and fierce Carib Indians—and as culturally rich as the peoples of Africa, England, Holland, Denmark, Spain, France, India and the United States

St. John, the smallest & most idyllic of the three United States Virgin Islands, is best known for its dozens of post card perfect white sand beaches, turquoise bays abounding in colorful corals & rainbows of tropical fish & endless vistas of green velvet hills. Only nine miles long & three miles wide, two thirds of the island is the Virgin Islands National Park, so its spectacular beaches & untouched forests will remain that way for generations to come & be accessible to all. There are tours of the National Park by Jeep or safari bus & hikes on spectacular trails led by Park Rangers who enrich the experience with talks on the island’s history & geology as well as its flora & fauna. Frequent visitors to St. John are beach lovers who aren’t content to only read about St. John in books but are always ready to go back to the beach.

While it is only twenty minutes from St. Thomas by convenient hourly ferry, St. John is the peaceful, uncommercialized paradise of island fantasies. It has no high-rise buildings, cruise ship docks or airport. Visitors can obtain discounted air fares to St. Thomas. Despite its unspoiled atmosphere, it offers every facility & amenity found at major resorts. Watersports abound!  One can charter boats from kayaks to ketches to catamarans by the day or week, with or without captain.  Day excursions for sightseeing, picnicking, snorkeling, or scuba diving are offered on every variety of sail or motor craft.  Sport fishing in our waters is an experience you’ll always remember. Activities on land include hikes you can take on your own or with a National Park guide, horseback riding, donkey trail rides, rock climbing, exploring historic ruins & more.

Getting around the island is easy. Cruz Bay, the major town where the ferry docks, is on the west end of the island facing Red Hook in St. Thomas. It is connected by well maintained paved roads (see map) to most of the bays & beaches & to Coral Bay, the picturesque yacht harbor on the east end of the island.  Several local agencies, all a short walk from the ferry dock, offer rental cars, jeeps & canopied trucks by the day or week. Colorful canopied taxis also line the dock all day & evening, offering rides to every island destination & tours.
