About this property

Cielo Vista-Panoramic Sunset Views, Private Pool, Whole House Generator

Summary:
Cielo Vista (Heavenly View) is a hilltop villa blending Latin-style flooring with clean white plaster and rich mahogany accents. It includes a whole-house generator. All rooms have air conditioning including the living room, Loft and kitchen. Experience the owner's unique design and craftsmanship as you enjoy awe-inspiring views from the pool deck, capturing the Caribbean Sea, dynamic sunsets, and the sights and sounds that will enhance every stay. In addition, you can add on the lower apartment to sleep a total of 8. It is not rented seperately. It is an additional $200 per night.

The Space:
Upon entering the villa, you'll find the central hub: a two-story lofted Great Room designed to take advantage of the gentle Caribbean breeze and abundant natural light. The main space offers various seating arrangements and ample lighting, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, and A/C. The loft features a queen bed and a catwalk leading to a private second-story deck.

The Great Room is flanked by two private bedrooms, each featuring their own A/C, king-sized beds, and en-suite bathrooms with dual-sink vanities and spacious, spa-inspired showers offering panoramic Caribbean views.

Cielo Vista features a fully-equipped kitchen designed to face the Great Room, allowing the chef and their helpers to enjoy the view and engage in social gatherings while preparing meals. Across from the kitchen, the large screened-in outdoor veranda offers a comfortable space for relaxing, reading, and dining. The veranda overlooks the private pool, which is perfect for sunbathing, sunset viewing, and enjoying drinks amid lush tropical flora.

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. Alternatively, BookVI offers a virtual check-in via FaceTime to review the villa and answer any questions.

The Neighborhood:
Located on Gift Hill, this area offers amazing westward views for breathtaking sunsets. It is quiet and peaceful, yet just a few minutes from town and the national park beaches and hiking trails.

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:
All Guests will receive a contract for signature in order to finalize the 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.
Cielo Vista offers a studio apartment on the lower level of the house that can be added on for an additional nightly fee. It has its own kitchen and private bathroom. It is not rented to separate guests and will remain vacant if you do not choose the add on. Please inquire before you book about this opportunity.

Interaction with Guests:
Cielo Vista 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.

10 days away from it all...sort of

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

Great Place in St. John

The views are beyond amazing, the house had everything we could want including a screened-in porch with views, the pool is a treat, and the rooms are so comfortable. The location is an easy short drive from everywhere you want to go. The property managers were extremely nice and helpful, especially Brandon and Ashley. Highly recommended!

St John stay

The photos of this property did not do it justice, the house itself and the views are much more spectacular in person. The drive was a little on the steep side, but so worth it for the home. Wish there would have been AC in the kitchen area but otherwise it was absolutely amazing.

We had an excellent stay with zero issues. Check in was smooth and they provided lots of great tips for our trip. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. The screened in patio area and pool deck had tons of seating and amazing views. Great location just 8 minutes from Cruz bay but up on the hill for a more peaceful setting. We will most definitely be back

Excellent Holiday

We were not new to the Caribbean but were new to St. John's Island. We spent a fair amount of time exploring various properties but ended up settling in with Book VI's property and we were sure glad that we did! Not only was the property all that we had hoped for, but the staff and their exceptional service and support were an unexpected bonus. We most definitely will be repeating our trip to St John's Island and will be using Book VI!

Great Trip

Great Trip, Wonderful Views from the house, plenty of room and the property management was amazing. They reached out multiple times to make sure we didn't need anything and when a hurricane was getting close they did a great job of comminating what was going on and what expect which AMAZING couldn't have asked for more in the situation (luckily it missed the island). It is a 2 bedroom with a loft, not a true 3 bedroom but that did not affect us at all as there was only 4 of us. views from the rooms, the kitchen, the deck, the pool, were great.

Loved it, mostly. Great house, great management. It's a shame about the generator.

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.

Perfect set up!

We loved this property and would definitely go back! It was clean, spacious and comfortable. The screened in patio was amazing for meals and lounging. The pool was just perfect and the views were outstanding! The two bedrooms are air conditioned and have connected bathrooms. They are on opposite sides of the living space which was great for privacy. The loft is not air conditioned but that worked fine for our 6 year old with multiple fans. Great kitchen, washer and dryer. The host was present when we arrived and available by text as needed. 5 minutes to Cruz Bay and 10 minutes to beaches.

Beautiful Home on St. John

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.

Easy Location with Terrific Spaces

We were a family of five-three generations which included a one-year-old. The attention paid to us to ensure our overall happiness was outstanding. We had a three-day downpour and the house has lots of seating options (fairly unusual) which made the at- home parts of our stay really fun. Lost power for an hour or two during the storm and the generator kicked in nicely. Brandon checked in to see that all was well. The house was well-stocked with kitchen supplies, beach gear and entertainment. Loved all the reading options. The views are sensational, the pool refreshing and the driveway spacious and level. A bonus which is seldom mentioned and hard to find in an island house! Also an easy in and out to Cruz Bay and North Shore beaches. Highly recommend!

Absolute perfection!

Every detail of this home is arranged for luxurious comfort. From the incredible views to the delightful screen porch to the pleasant decor, we were in heaven! The owners have thought through every potential need for the guest including beach chairs, water bottles for hiking, and a well stocked kitchen. The removable screens and access to the pool were wonderful for our family. We traveled with our three young daughters and two shared the huge bedroom off of the kitchen and one slept in the loft area and loved her easy access to the rooftop porch. My husband and I loved the master with the bathroom view that seemed surreal. I truly thought it was a painting at first glance. We were just delighted with Cielo Vista and so grateful that we were able to enjoy this little piece of paradise!

Beautiful views

This house was perfect for two couples on a family trip. It was minutes from cruz bay and right on a main road for easy access to many of the beaches and sights you’ll want to visit. The two main bedrooms were air conditions. The bathrooms were large and equipped with double vanities. The pool and deck area were to die for. The pool was perfect for relaxing and also a welcome oasis for when my nephews would visit after the beach. We grilled out there twice catching an AMAZING VIEW of the island sunset. We would gladly return to this paradise again if lucky enough!

Pretty home, Too Hot, Deceptive pricing

Beautiful view, pool and decks. No AC in main living / kitchen area which can make it very hot in July. Who wants to be bathed in sweat while cooking in a vacation home at this price point? Advertised to sleep 6-8 but only priced for 2 guests. VRBO should ban this deceptive practice that added on high “Additional Guest Fees” for a family of 4. Three additional cars in driveway made it difficult for us to park.
