About this house rental
Treat yourself to paradise as you wake up to spectacular views and the beauty of Vela Vista on Bordeaux Mountain, St. John. This beautiful, well-appointed, eco-conscious and fully air conditioned 5-bedroom, 3-bath home with a plunge pool is the perfect vacation destination!
Located just 20 minutes to Cruz Bay, 12 minutes to Coral Bay, and a 12-20 minute drive to the North Shore beaches, Vela Vista is your ideal base for exploring the entire island!
Vela Vista features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and abundant natural lighting. Revel in breathtaking views of the east end of St. John and the British Virgin Islands from the expansive 3000 sq ft abode, thoughtfully appointed with tasteful and modern decor.
The home comfortably accommodates 10 guests in three King bedrooms and two Queen bedrooms, with an additional twin-sized fold-down futon in one of the king bedrooms for an extra guest. Each room has high-quality linens, in-room air conditioning, and luxurious mattresses. All of the rooms are accessed from the interior of the home, with no need to walk outside.
The fully air conditioned main living areas and two large wraparound decks offer ample space to lounge while large sliding doors welcome the refreshing tropical breezes of Bordeaux Mountain. Take a dip in the plunge pool (~80-degree temperature) and relax on the pool deck, with shaded and sunny lounge areas!
The well-equipped kitchen and outdoor grill create the perfect setting for wining and dining, with unparalleled water views from the dining table. There is on-demand chilled water provided and a bar cart for crafting the perfect happy hour island cocktail!
High-speed Starlink internet and an office workspace with a printer are provided for those blending work and leisure. There are two Samsung Smart TVs, one in the living room and one in the upstairs Primary bedroom.
Vela Vista's electricity is primarily powered by a 14.4kW solar array with three Tesla Powerwalls, ensuring uninterrupted power even during island outages and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Perfect for families or a group of friends - we hope you book a stay to experience all that Vela Vista has to offer!

Would definitely stay here again. Layout, amenities, and location are great! Appreciated attention to small details such as availability of games and children’s beach toys, chairs, umbrella, etc.

Perfect home for a large group or family stay. Everything as advertised. I especially appreciated the kitchen facilities and supplies. Beautiful decor inside. Lovely landscaping. But the real treasures are the view over Coral Bay facing down island to the BVI and just being immersed in the special microclimate that is Bordeaux Mountain. Falling asleep under the canopy of stars to the chorus of tree frogs. That’s what you pay for. That’s what you get.

This was a fantastic place to stay for our family of 8! The host and property manager were very easy to communicate with and helpful in answering questions and providing suggestions. The night time temps and breeze on the mountain made for comfortable sleeping. Everything we could have needed was provided as well! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Tucked against a mountain ridge overlooking Cruz bay, Vela Vista made for a perfect quiet & private getaway. The house has multiple decks with gorgeous views over lush tropical foliage down to the islands and bay below, with hammocks to rest and relax in. You will need a rental car to reach the house, about ~25m from town and ~15m from Maho Beach, but the privacy aspect was very welcome for us amid COVID! We enjoyed the local beaches, hiked Reef Bay trail, visited Annabelle plantation - all within a half hour's drive. It was a wonderful trip amidst the chaos of October 2020; quiet, serene, with breathtaking views and gorgeous tropical weather. We will be back!
