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 enjoyed our recent stay at Poi Pu. The home is ideal for families and is in a great location. The hammock was the perfect spot for an afternoon nap! Views were incredible and the location is ideal for Cruz Bay and the surrounding beaches in that area. The home was clean and comfortable. The property manager and owner were very responsive and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend this perfect home!

The house was well set up. One of the bathrooms was a little rundown, and some tiles needed to be repaired. Loved the layout and all the decks.

We recently stayed at Poi Pu in St. John and had a blast. The property was adorable and had a nice pool that overlooks chocolate hole, what a view! One of the best days we had was just grilling some burgers by the pool. We stayed with another couple and the two rooms were perfect. Very short drive to town and the beaches. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My family loved staying at Poi Pu. We had the privilege of staying for 9 amazing nights. This home has great views of Chocolate Hole and the salt ponds as well as the tropical hillsides all around. There is a grill and the kitchen has everything you would need. We bought fresh fish one day from a vendor in Coral bay and had an amazing dinner on the wrap around deck overlooking the water. The bedrooms were air conditioned and there is a very cool shower made from local stone I assume. The home is just past the Westin although we never did venture there as I believe they are closed to outsiders during Covid. The location really is perfect. Just far enough from town that you feel totally private, but 5 minutes and your at the one of two close by markets, and the heart of Cruz Bay is just down the road. My daughter and I went hiking several times, there are wonderful trails throughout the island. We really liked Annaberg Sugar Plantation. Check out the ruins and then take the beach trial a mile or so to get to great snorkeling and a secondary trail that leads to the original plantation owners home. It is up on the hillside with great views. There is a bit of incline to the ruins of the old home, maybe not good on a rainy day. We had many amazing meals- Lobster at Morgan's Mango and The Lime Inn were both wonderful. Skinny legs may be the best value on the island with a fantastic vibe, and lunch at Miss Lucie's is a must! Mahi Ruben with stunning views of Coral Bay. We enjoyed many others as well, didn't have one bad experience. Just remember you are on vacation, things go slower in the islands especially when the restaurants are a bit short staffed after Hurricanes and Covid. Get a drink take in the atmosphere and enjoy your 90 min lunch. Homeowner was prompt and helpful. And the property manager check up on us throughout the stay, but fortunately for her there was nothing that we needed. But it was nice to know she was there if we did. Lastly, definitely get a 4 wheel drive rental. We did see people walking the road to town. But the island has so much to offer and the roads are extremely steep throughout. You need a 4 wheel drive vehicle incase of rain. We cannot wait to come back to St. John it had been many years since our last trip. It was so nice to see how far the island has come with rebuilding. We definitely would stay at Poi Pu again, and would recommend it as well!
