About this property

1 Bedroom with private pool and spectacular view

Perched into the hill 150ft above Rendezvous Bay, our property has one of the best views on St. John despite being only a quick, easy 4 minute drive from Starfish in town.

In a nutshell
* Simple accommodation with a million dollar pool
* One of the largest private pools on St. John
* Custom build Hot tub in corner of pool
* Great breeze (no mosquitos) and spectacular view
* Quick easy drive to town, easy, flat driveway
* No worry about power or internet outages
* NOT SUITABLE FOR SENIORS *

This listing is for a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit adjacent to a massive private infinity pool with hot tub. There is no formal kitchen or living room. This is all about outdoor living and this setup typically appeals to younger couples.

It is part of a 5 bedroom rental which we rent out as a smaller unit during shoulder season and for last minute openings or when we need a break from the stress of large groups (the other 4 bedrooms on main level above it will remain locked and empty).

You will be the only guests and have the pool and hot tub area to yourselves. The unit is mostly solar powered with battery backup so you do not have to worry about power outages.



30x15ft infinity edge pool with 8x8ft jacuzzi (4HP pump and 2HP blower for bubbles)

The pool BBQ area sitting area with firepit, 2 fridges and ice maker is on the Western side of pool and under the main level and will be your outdoor living room. It is sheltered from the elements - you will be comfortably cool out of the sun and out of the wind. Even during strong thunderstorms where can rain sideways here you will stay dry (unlike some gazebos style sitting areas).

For cold nights or a late night swim, the gas firepit will keep you warm and cozy. There’s a large powerful apple hifi speaker that can be used via Bluetooth or slim 3.5mm audio cable.

There are large decks on both sides of the pool (15x15ft and 30x15ft), the left hand side has a platform that can be used for napping or yoga, the right hand side is an expansive deck with chaise lounges. It also features a covered wet bar/honor bar, blender and coffee maker.

The pool is facing east, taking maximum advantage of view and trade winds. The sunrises are spectacular and you can catch a glimpse of the sunset from the Southern end of the deck.

The bedroom has a king bed, inverter window AC, a small love seat, a 40" Roku TV with apple tv and a large walk in wardrobe.

High speed fiberoptic internet that stays on when the power is out and satellite internet as backup in case there is a fiberoptic outage.

The bedroom has a large slider to the pool, a window towards the bbq area and a door with screen door towards the bathroom area. If you leave the window and door open you will have a nice gentle cross breeze flowing over your bed or of the full ocean breeze you can leave the slider open. To get to the bathroom from the bedroom you have to walk 5 feet and one step down (covered).

Our property almost always has nice breeze that keeps you cool and the mosquitos away. You can normally sit outside without bug spray and no mosquitos or no see ums bothering you except on the odd day with no wind (maybe 10-20 days per year).

There is an honor bar by the pool with a wide selection of liquor (which can be put away upon request if you prefer a no alcohol vacation). There is a reverse osmosis under sink drinking water filter as well as a water cooler with 5 gallon jugs of drinking water so no need to buy water bottles.

There is no full size kitchen so this is more suited for couples/singles that eat out or just want to fix a breakfast and a basic meal or BBQ. There is a coffee maker, toaster, air fryer, bbq, hot plate, 2 fridges, ice maker and blender as well as a gas powered pizza oven but no full size stove, oven or dishwasher.

There is no washer/dryer on the pool level, but free laundry service is available (place your clothes in provided bag with washing instruction and they will be back washed and folded within 24hrs). Different from low lying properties where everything is always moist and soggy and nothing ever dries a dryer is usually not needed as if you hang something over the pool railing it will be dry in 10-20minutes.

Our driveway is flat with easy turn around and no stairs to get to property from parking.

There are Yoga mats, dumbbells, resistance bands. A cold plunge with chiller is available upon request as are paddleboards, surfboards and snorkel gear.

Owners live on the same property with a separate entrance up the hill. We have our own pool and hot tub up there facing the opposite direction (south and west). Privacy is very important to us, we will not hear or see what is going on in the guest unit and you will normally not see us unless I am watering the plants in the front yard when you get back from beach. We can normally respond faster to issues and questions compared to villa management services that have many properties in their portfolio and a long drive to get to them. For longer stays we can also bring additional Kitchen items down as needed.

3 indoor/outdoor cats live on property. They are not allowed inside the guest unit but may venture into the outdoor spaces. 

Please reach out us with questions before booking, we will help you decide if this is a good fit. We are not desperate for rentals we want people who appreciate this unique setup. We will consider couples with a baby/toddler and pack n play but when I add that to max occupancy the listing says sleeps 3 which is misleading.

Perfection

We can not say enough good about this vrbo. Petra is amazing and she stocked us with everything we needed for an amazing stay...beach chairs, cooler, beach towels. The view is absolutely incredible. We had complete privacy, as Petra lives on the top story and her entrance is up the hill. We never saw anyone the whole time. The whole stay is in an outdoor living area except the bedroom and bathroom which was perfect. There were no bugs to speak of and the fire was lovely. We love to snorkel and the snorkeling on this island was rhe best we have ever experienced. Amazing job on everything, Petra! Thank you!!

About the host

Host profile image
This is a new listing. It is the lower level of a 5 bedroom rental. We open it during shoulder season, when we have last minute openings or when we want a break from the large groups with up to 15 guests. I did previously rent it on airbnb but no longer work with airbnb.

So there are no reviews yet, the full property has 9.8 Exceptional rating based on a total of 58 reviews.

I am a straight shooter. Please do not hesitate to ask questions before booking. I will give you a truthful answer and help you find out if this place is good for you. We are not desperate for bookings we want happy guests that are a good fit for the property.

Why they chose this property

Lived in a few places on St. John and viewed many many villas. Found summer in town very depressing, so hot and humid, this house has such a nice breeze so its always cool (except for the odd day where there is no wind). Plus there are virtually no mosquitos because they don't like the wind, mosquitos have been my number one enemy on the island and this is the best place so far. Having such a spectacular view so close from town is amazing, for most places with a view like this you need to go up some crazy roads with many switchbacks and potholes.

What makes this property unique

Large private infinity edge pool with spectacular view. Fully solar powerered (minus the hot tub)

View, Breeze, Location, real stone house that stays cool, barely any mosquitos except on the odd day with no wind, easy access and parking, lots of outdoor space

This is all about outdoor living and the view. There is no formal kitchen or living dining room. This property typically appeals to young couples and honey mooners (and some proposals happened here as well) but we have also had sporty older couples (the hiker, explorer, birdwatcher type) that loved it too.
