About this property

HEAVENLY VIEWS and PRIVATE POOL!!

PERFECT FOR COUPLES CELEBRATING HONEYMOONS, ANNIVERSARIES AND BIRTHDAYS!

Open your gate to breathtaking views of Sir Francis Drake Channel, the Caribbean and the luscious valley of Coral Bay. Perfect for honeymooners or couples looking for an amazing island experience. This NEW cottage is built for your comfort and will leave you with sweet memories for a lifetime. Set among beautiful flowers, palms and bay trees, this one-bedroom cottage includes a king-size bed situated to wake up and enjoy breathtaking sunrises. The bedroom includes a small sitting area and television. Choose to take a shower in your roomy walk-in shower or enjoy the view from your private outdoor shower.

IMPORTANT: Villa Celeste Vista has solar power along with two Tesla batteries for back-up power!

Relax in your own private pool, dine alfresco or sit in comfortable outdoor seating as you watch sailboats travel through the British Virgin Islands. You'll find everything you need in a large bathroom with two vanities, a kitchenette equipped with a stove, fridge and microwave and a laundry room with a washer & dryer. Your large bedroom includes a sitting area with AC, a SmartTV (no live television), and ROKU, allowing you to access your favorite streaming app. Your "living room" is outside under the porch so you can enjoy the amazing views.

Everything you need for your beach days, is supplied. You'll find beach towels, beach chairs, backpack and coolers.

You'll enjoy laid-back Coral Bay where you'll experience island life with quaint gift shops, live music, and incredible restaurants. AND, only 10 minutes away you'll find the legendary white powder beaches of the North Shore. For the more adventurous, head to the South Shore beaches and hiking trails for a completely different experience. And, your view includes Hurricane Hole, a Coral Reef National Monument, the only habitat of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere.

Note: there is another 2-bedroom villa on the same property in which you'll share the driveway and parking area but Villa Celeste Vista is completely private with a wall, gate and fencing. The other villa is down the hill (reachable by stairs) but not directly under the cottage. The other Villa is also available for rent and is called Villa Celeste Paradis; property #2278755. Please note that it's possible you will hear guests from the other villas in the neighborhood as throughout the Coral Bay Valley as it acts like an amphitheater. Also known to Coral Bay is how quiet it becomes after 10pm.

Absolutely stunning property, couldn’t have asked for better. Loved the outdoor shower and extras like beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers. I don’t have enough words for how amazing St. John is, there are so many beaches to explore and the snorkeling was amazing. I especially loved the tropical plants around the property that attracted hummingbirds, just the icing on the cake while enjoying morning coffees overlooking Coral Bay.

Small but well appointed place with spectacular views. The main "room" is essentially the large deck with a private pool. Comfy outdoor furniture with dining table, loungers and rockers. Part of the deck is covered for shade lovers and rain. The bathroom is huge (indoor and outdoor shower). The bed is super comfortable, and there is a small loveseat and chair in that room as well. Kitchen is small but well stocked. Driveway was described as steep, but it wasn't at all intimidating (we've seen much more intimidating in Coral Bay!). Super easy to get to (all paved roads).The hosts were living in the attached main house, but we never heard them. They were respectful of our privacy, but warm, welcoming, and available for any and all questions.The only reason for 4 stars was for something hosts couldn't control, and something that will likely resolve quickly. There was construction happening above us that meant our mornings were somewhat loud. We spent most days out of the house, so it wasn't a deal breaker. Renters should be aware that noise carries--even on the mountain. But we'd still stay again--the views and the villa more than make up for any unexpected noise!

Gwen, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and found the villa worked for your needs. I’m sorry you gave us four stars due to something out of our control. When living in a neighborhood, this sometimes happens. Fortunately this is just a temporary situation.

Truly Magical

The views alone are worth the stay, but the property itself is also stunning; no detail was overlooked and great communication with the host and her team. We loved the private pool and patio, it became our little oasis in the afternoons after snorkeling or hiking. We loved breakfast every day and evening drinks at the outdoor table, the view from the shower and the bed (loved waking up to those sunrises!), all the provided beach towels/coolers/etc, wonderful linens and towels, and very cozy decor (it was like a little bit of Italy in the Caribbean). We will definitely stay again!
Sunrises worth waking up early for on vacation!
Such a picturesque entrance.

About the host

Hosted by Lois Brayfield

Host profile image
My husband and I have been visiting St John since 1992. We fell in love with this beautiful island and couldn't wait to build a property. We've traveled the world but St John keeps calling us back. We currently live in Missouri and make it to our property about 3 months a year.
We love sharing our villa and do our best to accommodate every need. Having visited over 100 short-term villas, we take note and are constantly trying to improve our own villa.

Why they chose this property

We love the Coral Bay community. The views from our property are breath-taking. We love being on the quiet side of the island, where you are closest to all the best beaches. Trivia night (Johnnie Lime) and open mic night (Miss Lucy's) are a few of our favorite things to do. We get to mix with locals and tourists alike.

What makes this property unique

The views!
Proximity to both North and South shore beaches along with the East End beaches.
