About this house rental

Located in Cruz Bay, this attractive house for R 7,720 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Seaside Vista was a private home for years. Now the new owner did a total renovation and has placed it on the vacation rental market. Seaside Vista is the closest oceanfront villa to town; a very unique property, next to Gallows Point. Imagine being able to take a dip in the ocean anytime you like, only steps away from your own beach house! Seaside Vista underwent extensive renovation after the hurricane including new high quality finishes and all new furnishings which will make your stay truly enjoyable. Over 175 Five Star Reviews on VRBO and Trip Advisor Book with confidence knowing that past guests have given Seaside Vista their highest ratings. Most of the other options available in town are condos. Instead of sharing walls and a building with many others in a condo, you can enjoy the privacy of your own beachfront villa? in 2018, the owner completed a top to bottom renovation, a real vintage Caribbean Cottage with modern touches done in a way to preserve the unique relaxing cottage feel, yet with an element of understated luxury. Because its just around the corner from Gallows Point, it hides any noise from town, yet its an easy 2 block stroll to the heart of Cruz Bay. You'll enjoy the soothing sounds of the surf from the large 15' x 20' screened in terrace as you watch the sailboats go by. In the evening, enjoy fabulous sunsets year round plus the twinkling lights of St Thomas. The air conditioned spacious master bedroom (14' x 12') has a king size bed with direct access to the large ocean view terrace. The bedroom's windows on 3 sides provide cooling Caribbean breezes and an ocean view. The beautiful Restoration Hardware bath is accessed directly from the master bedroom. Seaside Vista is perfect for a couple as you can rent the cottage with the 2nd bedroom locked, and the rate is priced accordingly. (The 2nd bedroom is never rented to a different party.) The published rate is for the 1 bedroom, up to 2 guests. The second air conditioned bedroom was thoughtfully designed in a nautical style with new twin bunk beds. A blow up twin mattress is also available for a 3rd child. For convenience, the bathroom is accessible right from the second bedroom as well. The cost for 2nd bedroom/additional guests is $50 per night per guest. Road/construction: in 2022 work is underway to bury the utility lines on the major roadways. This may cause some slight traffic delays. Also, as a result of hurricane Irma/Maria there is still rebuilding going on in the areas surrounding Cruz Bay Town & other parts of the island. The large newly tiled terrace has plenty of room for relaxing and dining and features all new furniture. The kitchen has been totally remodeled and features new counters, appliances and a more contemporary open floor plan to the living room (20' x 11'). A new counter with bar stools makes it a great place to hang. The living room has large ocean view windows with a comfy sectional couch and a doorway that opens up directly to the terrace. There is also a furnished private courtyard with a grill. I provide my guests with lots of information to help make their travel to St John and their stay more enjoyable. I invite you to read the guest reviews. Enjoy this pristine cottage all to yourself....a vacation you will truly cherish for years to come. Note about video on this site: This video was shot before the hurricanes consequently it shows some pre-storm decor and furnishings. The villas has been completely repaired. The villa photos on this site were all taken post storm, that's why you will see some differences.

If there is one property in the area, this is the one. Michael ensures a great experience and is thoroughly helpful. If you want an intimate and quiet getaway in St. John for a good value, we highly recommend.

We had an amazing week stay at Seaside Vista! The location can't be beat and the screened porch is a must-see! We brought our 2 daughters, ages 9 and 6, they stayed in the bunk room and loved it. Every day we would walk to Gallows Point mini mart/gift shop for coffee and after enjoying the morning porch view would take off for the day in our rental jeep to one of the many unbelievable beaches St John has to offer! Michael's guide to the island was so helpful, without it we wouldn't have known to make Waterlemon Cay a definite stopping point and wouldn't have seen all the sea turtles! We also wouldn't have known about the sandwich shops to call ahead for pickup on our way to the beach! After our day at the beach we would return, shower, happy hour on the porch again and then walk 5 minutes into town to one of the many great restaurants. Everything about this vacation was wonderful and Michael was a wonderful host. The only thing I didn't realize was the washing machine and dryer are located outside down a few stairs. It turns out we didn't need them for ourselves anyway, but this I wasn't aware of before we got there! We would definitely stay again in this seaside cottage and hope to return!

We had the BEST time on St John!!! Seaside Vista has the most amazing views from the screen porch, we spent all our time there! Its also such a great spot, loved being able to walk to all the restaurants and shopping. Micheal was very helpful and gave us lots of information about the island before hand! We had our 2 grown kids, 20 and 17 and they were very comfortable in the bunk beds! We had a great family trip and cant wait to come back!!

We recently spent a week at Seaside Vista Villa. The accommodations were exactly as described and shown on the website -- in fact they were better than the photos showed. The location is key -- you are no more than a 5 minute walk to town and about a 15 minute drive to the nearest North Shore beaches. Michael and Leslie were prompt and thorough with their communications. The villa is well thought out ad has just about everything one would need to enjoy their stay. It's clearly marked on the list of amenities, but you don't have an actual oven. You do have a toaster oven, microwave and stove top for any type of cooking or reheating you might need. A full-size fridge and a washer/dryer below the cottage. It's small but mighty and the screened in porch is truly wonderful. It can be enjoyed rain or shine as we discovered. There are two bedrooms, although we only utilized the main bedroom. Both bedrooms share the bathroom, but the 2nd bedroom (which has bunk beds) was locked during our stay. There is also a parking space for one vehicle -- we had a 4-door jeep and although you do have to drop passengers off before turning into the spot, it was easy to use and came in very handy as parking is difficult if not impossible in Cruz Bay. We have stayed all over STJ and this rental ranked at the very top of our stays. We loved Seaside Vista and wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

We absolutely loved Seaside Vista. This was our fourth time to St. John. We usually have stayed in a house up high and have had to drive everywhere. Seaside Vista's close location to downtown was very convenient. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops. The screen porch was our favorite part! The views were incredible. Sunsets are amazing. Michael K was a great property owner to work with. He communicated frequently and gave us great tips. With Hurricane Tammy nearby, he kept us informed with the status of the ferries. We ended up leaving a day early because the ferries were closing. We would have had no idea about that if it weren't for him! Very thoughtful. It was nice to have beach chairs, noodles and a cooler provided. Overall it was a cute little place with a great view. I would highly recommend and stay here again. St. John is our favorite!! Thanks again for an amazing trip!

The Seaside Vista offered an ideal getaway home with gorgeous ocean views on a screened in porch as well as clean & comfortable amenities just walking distance from some of St. John’s best restaurants & shops. The bed was crisp & comfy, the shower bright & refreshing, and the on site washer & dryer a plus. We’d come back every month if we could!
