Our family stayed 8 nights at Elysium & enjoyed every moment of our stay.
My husband and two boys, ages 16 & 19, used the trail to Fish Bay to fly fish every morning & evening. While they fished in the early morning, I swam laps in the pool, prepared breakfast in the well-stocked kitchen & readied materials for our afternoons of swimming & snorkeling at different North Shore beaches. (The cays at Trunk Bay & Cinnamon Bay, & Waterlemon Cay were our favorite snorkeling spots). We ended many evenings swimming in the private pool.
The property has beach chairs & coolers for guests to use. Since some beaches are more secluded & without amenities, having coolers to pack food & drinks for the day was helpful.
This property is high on a hill with breathtaking views.
Fish Bay is murkier than those on the North Shore. However, my husband & kids felt safe wading knee to waist deep in the water to fly fish & weren't bothered by any little sharks they came into contact with. They wish they would have brought a steel liter. Any sharks they did catch sliced right through their lines (and there aren't any bait & tackle shops, so bring what you need from home). Mary Creek was another favorite fishing spot.
To find the trail to Fish Bay, walk down the driveway & continue down the street. The entry to the unmarked trail is across the street from one of the first houses on the right. The trail and the beach are really rocky, so closed-toe hiking sandals would work better than flip-flops.

Our family of five stayed at Elysium this week and very much enjoyed this home. It was the perfect size for the 5 of us, two adults and three kids/teens. The view was PERFECT, it is a quiet neighborhood and everything we needed was provided. The managements company, BOOKVI, was attentive, communicated well and offered us any assistance we needed during our stay. We had no issues with the home or property other than a minor plumbing problem that they offered to fix immediately. We loved having a private pool to relax in after a day at the beach. It's in a great location, just about 15 minutes from Cruz Bay and not far from the other locations on the island that we visited. I have already recommended this property to friends that saw my posts and pictures on social media. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall the property was exactly as listed. The team was very responsive to any questions.
The approach to the villa was a challenge but all roads in St. John are a challenge.
It was a great stay!

This was our sixth trip to St John. We usually stay at another villa but it has gotten too expensive so Elysium was a perfect alternative. A nice and quiet location with great sunsets. The home was spotless which was very important to us. We loved taking dips in the sparkling pool after a day of tooling around the island. Brandon met us at Starfish Market and guided us to the home and gave a quick tour. We had surprise visitors. A gray tabby stopped by one morning. We named him Johnny Cakes. We fed him a little and he came back and brought his friend/brother who we named Conch Fritter. Seeing we missed our fur baby back home it was nice to see them. If you don’t like cats not to worry. They don’t stick around long. The wildlife on Fish Bay was a great surprise. We saw a Red Ibis, a Hawk stopped by a lot, the Iguanas and we also had a deer visit the last morning. Thanks for letting us borrow your home for a week. We will be back!

The view from the house is breathtaking. Loved the sunsets, the feeling of being able to escape winter, and spend great time with friends. A bit off the main path, but they met us at the ferry and led us to the house.

The villa was just as it was described. No surprises which is nice when your on vacation. The villa was clean and we found everything that we needed was there. I would stay there again if we return to St. John.

The property was very nice, the view was amazing. Brandon was spot on with his recommendations. We spent a couple days just lounging around the poor. Every place you go on the island was a picture.

Elysium Villa is beautiful, peaceful and private. It is very comfortable and has fantastic views of the bay and ocean. It has everything you need whether headed to the beaches or relaxing at home. Beach chairs, towels and coolers are provided for outings. Comfortable lounging, books and even a yoga mat are provided for quiet time at home. The private pool is inviting and ready anytime!
Getting to the villa takes you over some hilly and winding roads (which is true of most roads on St. John). It takes about 15 minutes to get into town at Cruz Bay and another 15 - 20 minutes beyond that to the north shore beaches. It is worth the drive though to arrive back to your beautiful villa. The staff at Book VI are very helpful and accommodating to ensure a fantastic experience on St. John. We highly recommend Elysium Villa and Book VI.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was myself, my fiancé and the in-laws. The house was clean and well maintained. We weren’t aware, but the house is split into two floors. The bedrooms on the lower level. Which was completely fine and apparently normal for the island! Each bedroom has an on suite and ample closet/ dresser space. The other full bath is on the main living level. Wifi works best on the main level. Excellent views of the bay from both levels. The pool area was perfect and the laundry area just another level down from there. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed! We did have two meals at home. The Starfish Market has everything you need and we were impressed with both the produce and meat section. The grill is newer and worked great although the drain pan hadn’t been cleaned (there was a little bit of a fire going on). The oven was not working but the stove worked just fine. You will most definitely need a car. The location of the home is VERY much off the beaten path (bear right at the mermaid. IYKYK). We went to three restaurants for dinner and from some grace of God, we chose the best on the island! 1864, La Tapa and Lime Inn. We HIGHLY recommend. Brandon was very responsive with booking questions. If you’re interested, you can have grocery delivery scheduled for your arrival date. I would recommend 2 weeks in advance. Brandon can give you the info. Dabney met us at the dock, brought us to the car rental, then we followed her to the house for the grand tour and she was awesome. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend!

Our family of four stayed here and absolutely loved everything about the villa. It was clean, comfortable, and inviting! It had thick, soft linens, with plenty of extras. We loved to enjoy the pool in the afternoons after fun morning adventures on the island. We usually eat out for dinners while ion vacation, but we found ourselves stopping more and more at the grocery store so that we could grill out for dinner and just enjoy the villa!
At first, my husband and I were a bit concerned about the layout, as our two boys would be in the separate bedroom. However, the villa was safe and secure, and we quickly abandoned that concern.
I can not wait to go back to Elysium!

This villa was the perfect vacation for two couples. Elysium has everything you could need and then some!!! The pool is the perfect place to watch the sunsets. It was close enough to town but far enough to enjoy tranquility. Everything was so clean and organized. The driveway is a bit scary at first but compared to others we passed was very manageable. The pictures do not do the property justice. I would highly suggest spending your time in St John at Elysium. We will be back for sure!!!

My husband and I stayed at Elysium for a week and had a nice, relaxing vacation. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The furnishings are tasteful and modern. We especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub in the evening. It was nice to have air conditioning in all rooms and not have noisy window units. The Fish Bay location is only about 15 minutes into Cruz Bay, but far enough away that is quiet and very private. We ate dinner in Cruz Bay most nights and especially enjoyed Asolare, ZoZo's, La Tapa, and a new restaurant, Virgin Fire.
The villa is managed by Caribbean Villa who was extremely responsive to some concerns we had. The villa is listed as having access to a beach, but the neighbor's dogs closely guarded the path (although it wasn't on the neighbor's property) and prevented us from getting to the beach. We advised Caribbean Villa's management and they have taken steps to ensure beach access for future guests.
