About this house rental
Located in Chocolate Hole, with a Southern view of the Caribbean Sea, POI PU is ideal for the family or couples traveling together. The secluded location surrounded by beautiful tropical flower gardens lets you enjoy a very private vacation. POI PU is located just 5 minutes from the town of Cruz Bay and its eclectic choices for duty free shopping and fine dining. Another 10-15 minutes will take you to the world famous beaches on the north shore within the VI National Park.
Upon entering the home you will be taken with the open architecture of the great room, dining area with seating for six and full kitchen with all of the features and amenities for preparing snacks to full meals. The breakfast counter provides an area for socializing with the cook while meals are prepared. The double doors off the inside dining area open to the side deck where you will find another table for alfresco dining for six while overlooking the gazebo and pool. The gas BBQ grill is located close by for preparing burgers and hot dogs to steaks and seafood.
Opening the three double doors around the perimeter of the home will virtually double the entire living space with the addition of the wrap around decks with lounge chairs and casual seating. The open beam ceilings with elegant ceiling fans will insure that the cooling tropical trade wind breezes are circulated throughout. With the perimeter doors open you will enjoy the commanding views of Chocolate Hole and the Caribbean Sea from the inner comfort of Poi Pu.
The family room offers a flat screen television with Cable TV and DVD Player and an audio sound system providing casual entertainment in a relaxing environment.
There are two air-conditioned bedrooms with king beds (which can be separated into to twins) located on the main level in addition to ceiling fans over the beds. The poolside bedroom also has a smart TV. Each bedroom has an adjacent half bath and share a large and impressive native stone shower with dual shower heads. The third bedroom is located in a large loft and features a queen size bed and tastefully appointed casual seating. (There is an outdoor motion camera pointed at the driveway).
Newly installed Tesla Solar Backup system will ensure you will still be sleeping comfortably when the power goes out!

We had the most amazing time staying at this property! It had a wonderful view, the deck was great for hanging out as well as the hammock and the pool for relaxing. Not having potable water was not an issue for us - we just picked up 2 jugs on our way in and it lasted the whole time. All the amenities were great. The open doors created a lovely cross breeze. My teenage girls loved sleeping in the loft and the adults enjoyed the bedrooms with AC. The garden/landscaping was serene.

We had a great time at Poi Pu! The location is close to Cruz Bay so it’s close to the grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and the ferry. It’s also only a 15-20 minute drive to most of the beaches. Even though you’re close to Cruz Bay, it was really quiet at night. The house was perfect for my family of 4. The bottom two bedrooms have AC. The loft doesn’t but there were two fans on the floor and the overhead fan for air movement. The kitchen was well stocked for us to cook several meals at the house. The pool was a great plus for us to use after a day at the beach.

6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The property was clean and had a great deck with amazing views. The location was great- far enough from the traffic in Cruz Bay, but close enough that it took less than 10 minutes to get to restaurants, the grocery store, etc. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Communication with the host was good and she was very responsive. However, communication with the property manager wasn’t great- the directions to get there were not accurate based on where we were coming from and it took several calls and us driving around and around to figure out where to go. The front door stuck badly and took multiple tries to open and close. There was only AC in the two bedrooms and loft got really hot, so our son had to move downstairs and share the other bedroom. The couch in the living room was stained and very uncomfortable. Also, be aware that there is only 1 shower for the whole house- we didn’t realize this as the listing showed 2 bathrooms. There were two shower heads in said shower, but only one of them would allow hot water to come out. And due to the fact that there is only AC in the bedrooms, the bathrooms were very stuffy and hot. Lack of central AC may be the case for most houses in St. John, but as this was our first time there, I can’t say for sure.
