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!

The communication was fantastic before and during our stay. Close to town and had everything we needed for a vacation in St John.

I have stayed on St. John several times and Poi Pu is my favorite villa yet! It has a swiss family robinson tree house vibe. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was welcome but the loft had a nice breeze such that our friend who stayed there had no problem sleeping comfortable underneath blankets. The setup is wonderful and the shower is so cool! You feel like you are under the sea! Our daughters adored the pool. The sunrise and sunset views from the wraparound porch were picturesque and we all loved hanging on the hammock with a good book in the mornings and afternoons. The location is super convenient to the amenities of cruz bay while also feeling like you are in a secluded tropical paradise. The owner was incredibly helpful and communicative during our stay and check in was an absolute breeze. I will 100% be returning to Poi Pu for our next trip to paradise!

Great location and spectacular views! Loved the hammock and plunge pool, then relaxing in the shade. A/C in two of the bedrooms worked well. Space enough for the five of us to spread out and relax — quiet and calm. Very peaceful. One item to note: Host informed us after arriving that the water isn’t potable — only suitable for showering and washing dishes. Also not advertised were requested water-saving restrictions (selective toilet flushing and navy showers). Would have preferred to know that in advance, and to be provided at least a couple gallons of water as a starter before having to run to the grocery.

Jackie did a good job getting back to us and giving us useful information. This place is set up nicely with beautiful views and in a great location to get to many places. The place could use some updates on some things and was told new doors were going to be put on in a few months, which will be really nice. The couch did have stains on it, but we just put down some towels. It's probably not the easiest getting furniture to the island.
