About this property

Arc Du Soleil- Ultimate Island Living, Refreshing Salt Water Pool, Stunning View

Summary:
ARC DU SOLEIL was designed for Guests to experience outdoor living on St. John and perfectly emulates the Caribbean lifestyle. The beauty of the island's natural surroundings are the most prominent feature and enduring allure. An experience which can only be found in the tropics; one that brings the outdoors in, and entices you to become more in tune with nature. This is an experience that is unique to the islands. We cordially invite you to come, relax, and enjoy the Arc.

The Space:
True Caribbean open air living featuring magnificent native stone arches, framing the picture perfect view of the Caribbean sea for dramatic sunsets and star gazing. Polished concrete floors, a large and modern gourmet kitchen, master bath offers his and her vanities, and a soaking tub for unwinding after a fun filled day.
Master bedroom with new Tempur-Pedic king bed, en-suite bath with soaking tub, and on open hanging area for clothes in the bathroom. There are two guest bedrooms with en-suite baths. One on the main floor with Tempur-Pedic king bed and one on the lower level with 2 twin beds that can be made into a King bed.

Guest Access:
BookVI will arrange for a Greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a tour, address any questions about the property, and offer insights about the island. Check in arrangements will be tailored to your party size, arrival time, and familiarity with the area.

The Neighborhood:
With spacious decks, our large salt water pool, which is more gentle on your eyes, skin, and the environment, provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy the fabulous views of Great Cruz Bay Harbor, across the Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas, on to other islands and Cays and the endless summer sunsets!
On a clear day, you can easily see Vieques and even the mountains of Puerto Rico.

Getting Around:
BOOKVI highly recommends renting a 4-wheel drive vehicle for navigating St. John's terrain. We can provide a list of trusted local rental companies and have a few villa vehicles available.. Please inquire with the BOOKVI Team about options!

Other Things to Note:
Guests will receive a contract for signature in order to finalize your booking. Once your flight is booked, please provide your flight information to help us plan your arrival. We can assist with arranging private transportation from the airport to the villa, private taxi service, boat charters, private chefs, and spa services. Guests can expect a few emails to help with your vacation planning. We look forward to welcoming you to St. John!

Arc Du Soleil is managed by BookVI, an island concierge service that is readily available to help with guests needs, whether it be dinner reservations, boat charters, or rental gear for trips to the beach. There is also a property management service on-call for any maintenance needs.

Magical view

We loved our stay at Arc du Soleil. The property was magnificent. Super clean, kitchen was well stocked for cooking and beds were very comfortable. The living room and kitchen were open air and bedrooms were air conditioned, temps were comfortable in both areas. The views were some of the best we have ever had. The team was very responsive if we needed anything. I would love to stay here again if back in St. John.

Amazing pool & sunset view

Immaculately appointed villa with everything you could want- all quality furnishings & decor- just like you would do yourself. Great Chefs kitchen, fantastic master bedroom/bath, quality white linens/towels. Several Stocked beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear & noodles. They thought of things I didn't consider-loved the place! Bring bug repellent during the Fall although they do have a bunch of bug zappers-. Highly recommend!! Gorgeous sunsets & the pool & bar area was amazing- Like our own resort-had several fun days enjoying the pool plus lived on ur beach day!!

Beautiful Place in St. John

This is a truly lovely place to stay. It has an amazing view an unique layout. The kitchen and living area is open to the pool area with a spectacular view. The bedrooms are all locked with a keycode making the place very secure. The bedroom and bathrooms were nice and clean with working AC and fans. We only used two of the bedrooms on the main floor. The third bedroom is accessible by walking on an outside gravel path to the unit below the main floor.The place is extremely well stocked with coolers, beach chairs, beach tents, games, towels, etc. There is some snorkel gear but for a large group you would likely need to rent more. The place also had pods for washing clothes and dishes. The kitchen has plenty of glassware, cups, utensils, bags, etc.The pool was clean and beautiful. It was perfect to cool off after a day at the beaches. Sunsets were breathtaking.It is an adventurous drive up to the location. A lot of steep hills and sharp turns! You should definitely rent a jeep if staying here. It is a nice and quiet neighborhood (if you don't count the roosters that are all over the island).Communication with the host was outstanding. They were responsive even to questions on recommended restaurants, taxi services, etc. I cannot recommend them enough!

Family time

This is a beautiful and unique property! The outdoor living was super cool. We love being outside and the vibe here was awesome. The mosquitoes were a slight issue but easily kept at bay with bug spray. The kitchen was very well appointed and included most condiments and spices you would need. Just a fabulous property!

So Good You Might Never Leave the House!

We absolutely loved our stay at Arc Du Soleil! It is a beautiful property with breath-taking views, the most refreshing pool, a well stocked kitchen, and everything you could possibly need while you're on vacation, like coolers, towels, chairs, etc. There are so many spectacular beaches to explore on the Island of St. John, but renting a house like this makes it difficult to ever want to leave! We can't wait to come back!

Arc du Soleil..heaven on earth!

We totally enjoyed the house, it was perfect for our group of 6. The pool was awesome, the view was magnificent. Unfortunately we took the wrong roads up to the house the 1st time, the switchbacks are killers...I would avoid at all cost.. there are 2 ways up...price you pay for that view!!!

We’ll be back!

Our visit to St. John and our stay at Arc du Soleil could not have been more perfect. Brandon and the entire BookVI team did a fantastic job preparing the villa, meeting us at the ferry and welcoming us to the home, and assisting with any questions we had while on the island. We’ve stayed in a dozen villas on St. John, and this experience and villa are hands down the best we’ve had. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you all for making our week unforgettable!

Perfect family space

We had a lovely two week vacation at Arc du Soleil. All the people we interacted with through the process of booking, to arriving, to helping me coordinate experiences were kind, generous with their time, and helpful. We were stunned by the views and so appreciative of the opportunity to stay here while enjoying St. John and the surrounding US and British Virgin Islands. Both Brandons and Ashley were so kind. Truly one of our best trips. Thank you.

The view. The Experience. The relaxation.

Perfect stay in every way. communication with the Villa "team" was almost instant before and during our stay. had an issue with water pressure and someone was there and fixed it within 15 minutes after I texted the 'team'. 5 coolers, 6 beach chairs, pool and beach toys. overstocked kitchen. huge place. I think I counted over 30 places to sit and that didn't include the steps to the pool. stop looking and just book this.

Perfect Villa with a View

The villa was perfect for us. We couldn't get enough of the view which was just as spectacular by day as it was by night -overlooking part of St John and across to St Thomas. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable. We enjoyed watching the birds and surveying all the different orchids planted around the property. Brandan was an excellent host. My only suggestion is to have a softer bed pillow available - maybe there was but we didn't see any. I hope we can visit again very soon!

Perfect

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The property is breathtakingly beautiful. Coffee on the open air veranda followed by a dip in the pool are how we started every morning. We ended each evening in the pool! The house is well designed and perfect for 3 couples to comfortably spread out. The location is perfect (we used the car that was offered by the property and drove all over the island (from Cruz to Coral). The house was well supplied with amenities and very responsive to a lock/key issue (our fault) and an electric breaker issue (that was fixed immediately). This is my 3rd stay on the island and I will very likely stay at this property again. It was just THE BEST!
