About this apartment rental
Little Palm Vista Guest Suite, located in the garden level of a quaint island stone cottage, is the perfect romantic getaway. Most of our guests are honeymooners or couples celebrating their anniversary. Situated high a top a hill that borders the National Park, it has spectacular panoramic views of the Caribbean. For those who desire a more secluded location with luxurious furnishings, yet more economical than an island resort hotel room.
Cooking is a breeze with everything you need to cook a full meal. The interior kitchenette includes a large fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and blender. While the outside grill also has a side burner, so its just like cooking on a stovetop, perfect for preparing breakfast, or sautéing your favorite dish. Plus, all the cooking & eating utensils, dishware & pots/pans are provided.
The villa is equipped with Solar panels & Tesla power walls to provide electricity during power outages.
You can book with confidence knowing that past guests have given Little Palm Vista Guest Suite over 150 Five Star Reviews!!!
All interior photos show the suite.
The impeccably furnished interior boasts a King Size poster bed with a comfortable pillow top mattress. The room has a sitting area with snakeskin mosaic tile table and 2 chairs. The over-sized sliding glass doors open to the ocean view and a private coral tiled deck with a sun awning to keep you comfortable. 2 additional French doors open to a private covered porch and patio.
The luxury bath with custom cabinetry contains glistening white Carrera marble. The large shower with glass tile accents features an ocean view window and is big enough for two.
The Guest Suite has its own separate staircase and entry, with its own private covered porch, balcony and patio. Little Palm is situated in a quiet neighborhood.
A beautiful iridescent glass tiled pool with a bench allows you to relax while enjoying the panoramic ocean view...a wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset and cocktail after the beach. (See pool details under amenities.) Little Palm's guest suite is the perfect place to pamper yourself and your mate for a wonderful Caribbean vacation you will never forget!
The suite is cleaned prior to your arrival. Guests staying longer than a 7 night stay can pay for an additional mid-stay cleaning is they so desire. This should be arranged in advance.
No smoking is permitted on the premises. A rental car will be required for your stay; 2 door jeep is recommended. (You will probably not use the 4WD, but Jeep type vehicles sit higher off the ground, making them better for St John roads.) The roads are all paved from the ferry to your flat parking space.
The owner is not responsible for any booking and or computer errors made by VRBO.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Beautiful little studio with a stunning pool area with incredible views. It's way up there so be prepared for a stunningly terrifying jeep drive but it's totally worth it. Comfortable bed and a kitchenette with almost everything you need. We had a lovely time and were returning after honeymooning there 37 years ago. A lot has changed and if we had a do-over we would do this: skip Trunk Bay altogether and spend the time at Hawksnest or Jumbie, which is now what Trunk was 30 years ago. The best (and only in our opinion) source for groceries and beverages is Starfish Market as the others are poorly stocked. The restaurant reservation thing Michael is not kidding about - we only ate dinner out once but it was incredibly hard to find a table so figure out what you want early and lock it in. Due to the hilltop location and maybe because it's windward we had ZERO problems with mosquitos, an extremely pleasant surprise. We still bought Off but didn't need it at all. The bays and beaches you can see from the villa are mostly private so to get to the northern beaches the best way is to cut through (and over the top) of the island and not through town we found. The dive operator Low Key charges heavily for their trips but they do include gear in that price and don't give a discount if you brought your own, so we would leave the heavy dive gear at home if we could do it again. The steps up and down to the cottage demand traveling light. Great Stay, glad we found this.

Wonderful place! Had everything we needed and the view was great. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in a convenient location.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in paradise. Our host Michael was so helpful from beginning to end. He made sure we had any and all information about the property including places to eat and beaches to visit. The view of Fish Bay was amazing. If we weren’t at one of the beautiful beaches, you would find us relaxing in the amazing pool. We will be back!!

Great property for couples. Beautiful view. This property has solar and Tesla backup batteries! Very important for the STJ outages. Thanks for a great week Michael!
