About this villa rental

Nestled in Cruz Bay, this lovely villa for $895 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Palm Vista is a sparkling clean island style villa situated 500 feet above sea level on the boundary of the national park. This is one of the very few villas on St John that offer both sunrise & sunset views! Plus, Luxury Retreats International has rated Palm Vista as "1 of the top 10 view villas in the world"! The 280 degree panoramic views are unparalleled on the south shore; providing views all the way to Ram Head with sunrises in the east, looking south into Reef Bay, Fish Bay and Rendezvous Bay, and to the west for great sunsets. The site gives you the ultimate in privacy, yet you are close enough to hear the gentle sounds of the surf below. Plus, the national park is right next door providing easy access to hiking. The villa is equipped with Solar panels & Tesla power walls to provide electricity during power outages. Guests have given over 200 Five Star Reviews on VRBO and T Advsr.; the most of any St John villa! You may have seen Palm Vista on HGTV as scenes for their show Caribbean Life were filmed here! I have the best maid on the island, so you will find the villa VERY CLEAN. The pool is also professionally cleaned once a week. The vaulted ceiling Great Room constructed of native stone walls and travertine marble floors, has 20' wide sliding glass doors to the south providing a great ocean view with screens for you to enjoy the cooling trade winds. The French doors to the east provide additional ocean and pool views. The large sectional couch provides comfortable seating and the new Samsung 46" flat panel TV is connected to satellite as well as DVD. There is also a bar and stools; perfect for entertaining. Each of the three air conditioned bedrooms have their own en-suite luxury bath, with magnifying Spa Hotel make up mirrors and custom Walter Zanger tiled vanities trimmed in mahogany. Plenty of shelving for easy living, plus large travertine showers. Each bedroom has satellite TV as well as wonderful ocean views! The main level has a large Veranda which wraps around the south and east of the home, covered in coral tile and amply furnished for relaxing and dining. The views from the veranda are too good to describe - this is where you will spend your time, enjoying the cooling trade winds. The veranda flows to the pool deck, also covered in beautiful natural coral stone. The pool deck has new Frontgate chaise lounges purchased in 2021. Palm Vista was completed with loving care as you will see, from the hand made pottery light fixtures, the detailed tile work, the beamed ceilings to the star fish adorned bulkheads no detail was spared. Come and experience the paradise of Palm Vista! Rent from 2 to 3 bedrooms; priced accordingly. two bedroom rental guests can choose from the 2 King bedrooms or the Queen bedroom on the main floor with en-suite bath & one of the 2nd & 3rd King bedrooms on the garden level, each with their own en-suite baths. Rates are based upon double occupancy; up to 4 guests = 2 bedrooms, 5-6 guests = 3 bedrooms. If you have a total of 4 guests, you can pay an additional fee if you desire the 3rd bedroom. If you rent less than 3 bedrooms, the un-rented bedrooms are locked out and never rented to a different party. If you have a need for a 4th bedroom, you can rent the Guest Suite on the property next door; contact owner for availability and more details. A rental car will be required for your stay. 2 or 4 door 4WD Wrangler is recommended; not because you will use 4WD, but Jeeps sit higher off the ground making maneuvering the hills and turns on St John easier. Road/construction: in 2022 work is underway to bury the utility lines on the major roadways. This may cause some slight traffic delays. Also, sometime in 2022 or 2023 construction of a new home is scheduled to occur nearby toward the end of Skytop road. *****IF THIS VILLA IS RENTED FOR YOUR DESIRED TIME PERIOD, OR YOU ARE LOOKING FOR OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS, PLEASE CONSIDER MY OTHER 2 VACATION RENTALS: SEASIDE VISTA: OCEAN FRONT VILLA- 1 or 2 bedrooms for 1-4 guests see info at https://www.vrbo.com/590843 LITTLE PALM GUEST SUITE- 1 bedroom for 1-2 GUESTS see info at https://www.vrbo.com/253498 I am the owner, Michael Krienik, and the only person that does bookings for my property.

Palm Vista is a beautiful property with views that are incredible! Our host, Michael, was easy to communicate with and was always available from the moment he met us at our rental car pickup until we left the villa. We are a family of five with three adult children and everyone was very happy with the property. The villa is decorated beautifully and was clean and well stocked. The linens and towels were like new and plush. The furnishings were comfortable and not worn. Our favorite area of the villa was the veranda. We especially enjoyed our evenings together star gazing and watching the lights of the boats as they passed in the night. The views are breathtaking! The drive to the villa is a bit of a journey but to have the views that we did I would say that it is worth it. It's just a part of the island adventure! Thank you Michael for sharing your property with our family.

Thank you Michael for sharing Palm Vista! We loved the property and had a great vacation. The views were outstanding and the villa was clean, comfortable, and as advertised. This was our second trip to St John, and our time at Trunk Bay on multiple days was heavenly. I actually enjoy the steep winding drive to/from the villa, but it can be a bit unnerving for some.

Our family rated this as one of our best vacations. St. John's is truly paradise, and the views from Palm Vista are breathtaking. Michael and his staff made it so easy. They met us in town and led us to the property. He gives great suggestions for dining, beaches, car rentals, etc. The house provided beach chairs, coolers and towels for the beach, and the kitchen was well equipped. The three bedrooms were perfect for for our three couples and very comfortable. All in all a perfect spot for anyone wanting a beautiful get away.

The house layout was perfect for us and our two college age children. Unbelievable amenities on a remote island with incredible views. The condition of the property is great and very comfortable. Small pool was ideal after long days at the beach. The property manager was easy to reach and responsive. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, clean bathrooms… and great outside living space!

Is you are looking for a peaceful slow paced tropical paradise, look no further than the stunning Palm Vista! From the moment we stepped onto St John, we were greeted by the kind hearted Bernard who made sure we got our Jeep and escorted us to the top of our vista rental! The views are something you have to see to believe. Throughout our villa, Michael and his team have added nice little touches to make you want for nothing. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Palm Vista is a gorgeous property. It’s located close enough to Cruz Bay to go in for dinners but you can also enjoy the quiet neighborhood and grill out for dinner on the deck. The panoramic views from the deck are amazing. The beaches in St. John are pristine. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend this property! Well stocked kitchen items and awesome pool too!
