About this house rental
Wake up to spectacular views at Vela Vista on Bordeaux Mountain, St. John. This beautiful, well-appointed and fully air-conditioned five-bedroom, three-bath home offers a private plunge pool, two large wraparound decks, and sweeping views of Coral Bay, the East End, and the British Virgin Islands.
Located approximately 20 minutes from Cruz Bay, 12 minutes from Coral Bay, and a 12–20-minute drive from the North Shore beaches, Vela Vista is an ideal base for exploring the island.
The home features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and abundant natural light. The spacious living areas and decks offer plenty of room to gather or find a quiet spot to unwind. Enjoy air-conditioned comfort indoors, or open the screened sliding doors to welcome the tropical breezes of Bordeaux Mountain. Take a dip in the plunge pool and relax on the pool deck, with both sunny and shaded lounge areas.
Vela Vista 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 11th guest. Each bedroom has quality linens, a comfortable mattress, and in room A/C, and all rooms are accessible from inside the home.
BEDROOM SETUP:
• The upper-level primary King bedroom has ocean views, a Samsung Smart TV, a private dressing area, and an ensuite bathroom.
• The two middle-level Queen bedrooms connect and share a full bathroom. One is entered through the adjoining queen bedroom or the shared bathroom.
• The two lower-level King bedrooms share a full bathroom and each open onto the lower deck. One includes the twin futon.
The well-equipped kitchen and outdoor grill make dining at home easy, with beautiful water views from the dining table, which seats 10. An on-demand drinking-water cooler with complimentary water jugs and a bar cart are provided for everything from filling beach bottles to making your favorite island cocktail.
For those combining work with leisure, Starlink Wi-Fi and a workspace with a printer are available. There are two Samsung Smart TVs, one in the living room and one in the primary bedroom. Our 48 solar panels and six Tesla Powerwalls provide renewable energy and backup power during island outages. On-site parking accommodates approximately 3–4 vehicles.
For beach days, we provide beach towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and two coolers. You’ll also have a washer and dryer, and families traveling with little ones can use the high chair, baby gates, and pack ’n play.
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!
