About this villa rental
Summary:
Cielo Vista is a hilltop villa with two king suites, a queen loft, and a queen apartment (available for an additional fee), sleeping 6–8 guests. The home blends Latin-style flooring, white plaster walls, and rich mahogany accents. Enjoy AC throughout the villa, including the living room, loft, and kitchen, plus a whole-house generator for added comfort. Relax on the pool deck with breathtaking Caribbean Sea views and unforgettable sunsets. 🌴
The Space:
Upon entering the villa, you’ll find the central hub of the home: a two-story lofted Great Room designed to capture gentle Caribbean breezes and abundant natural light. The space features multiple seating areas, A/C, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The loft includes a queen bed and catwalk leading to a private second-story deck. Loft guests share a bathroom with one of the king bedrooms, as the loft does not have its own en-suite.
The Great Room is flanked by two private king bedrooms, each with A/C, king beds, and en-suite bathrooms with dual vanities and spacious spa-style showers.
The fully equipped kitchen opens to the Great Room, allowing guests to enjoy the views and conversation while meals are prepared. Across from the kitchen, a large screened veranda provides a comfortable space for relaxing, dining, or reading while overlooking the private pool and lush tropical gardens—perfect for sunsets and evening cocktails.
The lower-level studio apartment offers an additional private retreat with a kitchen, living area, queen bed, and screened patio. This apartment is available for an additional fee and must be booked by reserving for 8 guests. If the apartment is not reserved, it will remain private, locked, and not rented to other parties during your stay. 🌴
Guest Access:
BOOKVI will arrange for a personal greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a brief tour of the property, answer any questions about the home, and share helpful insights about the island. Check-in arrangements are tailored to your party size, arrival time, and familiarity with the area to ensure a smooth arrival.
The Neighborhood:
Located on Gift Hill, this villa enjoys spectacular westward-facing views, perfect for breathtaking Caribbean sunsets. The area is quiet and peaceful, yet just minutes from Cruz Bay, the Virgin Islands National Park beaches, and scenic hiking trails. 🌴

We had a great time. The house has a wonderful view and is well equipped. Brandon and the team were very responsive to all our questions.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2025
Our vacation was great, despite the chaos back in the States. The home was perfect for the 3 of us--one couple in one BR and another single. I'm not sure I'd call the loft a 3rd BR as s/h/they would have to share one of the 2 bathrooms. The floors could have been a bit cleaner but, beyond that, perfectly fine, stocked with supplies, and Brandon and staff were totally responsive and made last minute dinner reservations. Book ahead! The roads were tough; we had a RAV4; get a Jeep. We'll visit STJ again and likely use BOOKVI.reservations.. I'm
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
Our family enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa on St. John. Communication with the property manager was so quick and they were so helpful with things pertaining to the house but also to help with rental car, ferry schedules, restaurant recommendations, etc. The AC in the bedrooms was so nice after a hot day on the beach. There isn't AC in the main kitchen and living room area so it was a little warm in June. But we opened the porch doors for a breeze.The kitchen overlooks the water and we cooked breakfast each day and some dinners too. Very well stocked house and kitchen. The porch was so nice for sitting and reading in the mornings while our kids slept.
This was our second trip to St. John and we plan to come back. We love this island and the beaches are just stunning! We swam with turtles, sting rays, and so many gorgeous fish.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
There was so much to love about this place! It was a beautiful house with a stunning view, well equipped, comfortable and clean, and the management company was extremely responsive. The location is out of town, which we liked, fairly close to the Windmill Bar. For the most part it was very peaceful... except when it wasn't. St John was undergoing rolling blackouts and the generator, which we were blessed to have, I know, sounded like a jackhammer and smelled like a schoolbus. So it was complicated.
