Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: Is Gardenia in an apartment complex?
A: No. Gardenia is the downstairs apartment of a private home
in a quiet, wooded residential area of St. John about 1 1/2 miles from
Cruz Bay. There is a convenient parking area designated for Gardenia
guests. From the parking area, you walk down steps on the outside of the
house and turn to enter the covered deck of Gardenia and the private
dining, spa, garden area. There is good sound insulation between the
apartment and the residence. No other homes can be seen from the apartment
or deck and garden area. Sliding glass and screen doors open from the deck
into the apartment.
Q: Does Gardenia have a view of the
water?
A: No. The ocean can be seen from the driveway area,
but the plants and trees block the view from Gardenia.
Q:
How far to the beach?
A: Chocolate Hole Beach is a few minutes
drive, and you step out of your car 20 feet from the beach. Hart Bay Beach
is a short drive and 5 minute hike (access only by foot). Both are less
than 6/10 mile from Gardenia and about a 15-20 minute walk. Both are a
mixture of sandy areas and rocky or coral areas. Both have good
snorkeling, good beach combing and few visitors. The famed North Shore
beaches of the National Park, with pristine white sand accented by palms,
are about a 15 minute drive from Gardenia, or a $7.00 taxi
ride.
Do I need a vehicle?
A: Most of our Villa
renters also rent a vehicle for maximum convenience and flexibility. You
can explore the out of the way bays, viewpoints or restaurants at your own
pace and schedule. Rental rates range from $300 to $390 per
week.
However, some of our Gardenia renters choose not to rent a
vehicle and they manage quite well. It is a $4.00 per person taxi ride
from Cruz Bay to Gardenia. From Cruz Bay to the North Shore Beaches you
can usually find a shuttle taxi for $3-4 per person. From town there is a
$1.00 per person bus that runs from the ferry along Centerline Road to
Salt Pond Bay, with numerous stops along the way. They run about every
hour. (The schedule is at the ferry dock and in the guest book at
Gardenia.) Others supplement these modes of transport with
hitchhiking, still quite acceptable on St. John.
