About this property

La Bella Villa (2BR/2BA) Great views, spectacular pool, magical villa!

La Bella Villa is a unique, hand-crafted home made of island stone and masonry. It has a gorgeous view of Coral Bay and of beautiful Bordeaux Mountain. The house itself has all the character and warmth of a traditional Caribbean home, yet it is modern, well equipped, clean, and comfortable. Romantics will adore this picturesque and idyllic home and marvel at the architectural touches. And you will LOVE our magnificent new pool and pool deck!

The house faces Coral Bay: its 12 by 40 foot long covered porch lures you into sitting outside to read, watch the view, talk and simply enjoy comfortable outside living. Each room has a beautiful view and each bedroom is individually appointed with island art and touches. And you’ll love the magnificent mahogany shutters and doors (all fully screened, of course) all around the house.

Behind a Caribbean stone wall and next to the villa, La Bella Villa’s pool deck provides the perfect place for enjoying St. John’s sun and the views of Coral Bay and Bordeaux Mountain. The fresh water outdoor pool has ready access to a shower from the deck area as well as an entrance to the kitchen. With lounge chairs, a table and umbrella for reading by the pool, beach towels, and a nearby gas grill, you have all the comforts for an afternoon in the sun. We also provide beach chairs and a cooler for beach outings.

Opening from the pool deck, the kitchen is a recently installed custom kitchen with a granite counter top. It is modern and fully equipped.

The living room is furnished with traditional Caribbean furniture. With vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, tiled floors and Caribbean art, it has a relaxing and inviting interior. For your entertainment, a British Colonial-style armoire houses the entertainment center, including a nice collection of movies, CDs, and games for guests’ pleasure.

The beautiful mahogany doors open to the 500 square foot deck with a fabulous view of Coral Bay. The porch has a wooden table which seats 6 for relaxed, al fresco dining. A comfy sofa and wicker rocking chairs make the porch an outdoor living room, cooled by breezes from Coral Bay and by ceiling fans.

La Bella Villa sleeps 4 comfortably in its two bedrooms, and has a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living room for overflow. Both bedrooms are air conditioned, and the design of the house is such that with bedroom doors open, the living area also is air conditioned. However, you will rarely need to use the A/C.

The master bedroom features a romantic, British Colonial king-sized four-poster bed with luxurious linens, sconce lights above the bed, mahogany closets, a floor mirror, ceiling fans for a comfortable breeze to supplement (or replace) air conditioning, and views through glass/screened doors onto the porch and to Coral Bay itself. The master bath has a full, island style, walk-in tiled shower, footed sink, and comfortable privacy.

The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed as well as palm tree lamps on mahogany night stands. Overlooking the pool and with windows on three sides, this charming bedroom also features luxurious linens, Caribbean art, a ceiling fan for a cool breeze, and mahogany doors and window shutters. Ditto on the air conditioner!

After a day in the pool or at the beach, it is a short drive to one of the many fine or fun restaurants for which St. John is well known, including the famous Skinny Legs, Indigo Grill, Aqua Bistro, Wok on the Beach, and others right in Coral Bay. A 20-minute ride takes you to Cruz Bay which features numerous other great restaurants and more shopping.

Perhaps best of all is the great access to the popular, beautiful North Shore beaches and the opportunity to explore South Shore and East End beaches, which are less frequented.

A variety of birds frequent the immediate area which, depending upon the season, may include the largest hummingbirds you have ever seen, even parrots, and our popular native bird, the little but gorgeous bananaquit. Coral Bay, which is a little more funky and laid back than the Cruz Bay area of St. John, is also known for the island donkeys and goats that wander the streets and occasionally come near the villa. Our very own iguana family lives in the trees off the decks. And the night sounds of the tree frogs will lull you into a deep restful sleep.

Couples and families – adventurers, romantics, or those wanting just to relax -- will adore this picturesque and idyllic villa. We have a 5-day minimum stay.

Beautiful space
This villa was beautiful in every way. Super clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower, ocean view, and pool were just lovely! Full disclosure: There are annoying nocturnal tree frogs called Coqui frogs that are extremely loud making it difficult to sleep unless you are a deep sleeper. Even a sound machine did not help us. Trying to sleep during day (once frog went to sleep) was also difficult because no shades on windows to block out light. The property description did mention no central air in the living room. I thought it wouldn’t be so bad, but it got extremely hot in that shared space and mosquitoes entered somehow regardless of doors and windows being closed. More shade options in pool area could’ve been appreciated as well. Overall, the space was lovely….just needed a few tweaks to make it more enjoyable- free of noise, bright morning light, and indoor mosquitoes.

Great views and pool for a perfect vacation.
The villa is close to the grocery and restaurants in Coral Bay, on the quiet side of St John. The spacious porch and pool deck are wonderful for relaxing in the tropical breezes. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook and eat in. The driveway access is easy and the location is within easy driving to the North Shore beaches. It’s the perfect place to enjoy paradise!

St. John in January
The house is very clean with beautiful views. This was my first time in St. John and I didn't realize how great the location of the villa was for a couple of days until after I had more time to explore. Sarah was amazing to communicate with. For me, there was a learning curve to St. John for a first time visit. If I go back, I would stay at Bella Vista again!

Perfect spot for our St. John vacation!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The views are amazing and the location is fantastic. We found it close enough to Coral Bay to get food and groceries (a quick 5 minute drive), yet tucked away on the hill and very private. The pool was amazing and just what we needed in the afternoons. Communication was great, including suggestions for activities, restaurants, car rentals, etc. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this beautiful property for your St. John vacation.

Why they chose this property

St. John is our dream destination. Despite California roots, we'll never move there because the water is cold and the ocean is...gray! When we saw this villa, we fell in love with it! And have never wavered in our delight with Bella Villa -- or St. John -- since!

What makes this property unique

La Bella Villa is heaven in the Caribbean. AND it has a fabulous outdoor shower complete with a fossilized fish. Who could ask for more?
