VILLA BELVEDERE OCEANFRONT SUITES Secluded Oceanfront Escape • Pool • 180° Caribbean Views • In-House Car Rental
Escape to your own private piece of paradise at Villa Belvedere Oceanfront Suites, a secluded 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat perched above the Caribbean in beautiful Chocolate Hole, St. John.
Set on approximately half an acre of waterfront property, Villa Belvedere offers something truly special: unobstructed 180-degree views across the Caribbean toward St. Thomas, St. Croix, and the surrounding cays.
Wake to the sound of the surf, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the sea, spend the afternoon beside the pool, and end your day watching an unforgettable Caribbean sunset from your private balcony.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ST. JOHN EXPERIENCE
Villa Belvedere is approximately 700 square feet and designed for guests who value privacy, incredible views, and outdoor island living.
The accommodations feature two private bedrooms, two bathrooms, balconies, a kitchenette, and access to the secluded outdoor pool.
Please note that this is not a traditional full villa. The original main house was heavily damaged by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 and has not yet been rebuilt. We currently offer the adjoining oceanfront suites at a reduced rate for guests who don't require a full kitchen or indoor living room.
The suites include a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, kitchenette, and propane grill, giving you everything you need for simple meals, morning coffee, cocktails, and relaxed island living.
What you trade in traditional indoor living space, you gain in privacy, tranquility, and extraordinary waterfront views.
YOUR OWN SECLUDED ISLAND RETREAT
Spend your afternoon relaxing beside the pool with the Caribbean stretching out before you, then watch the sky transform at sunset.
At night, settle into bed while looking across the water toward the lights of St. Thomas.
Villa Belvedere is ideal for couples, friends, and adult travelers looking for a quiet, romantic, and secluded St. John escape.
For guests who enjoy a true private-island atmosphere, clothing is optional within the privacy of the property.
YOUR CAR, YOUR VILLA, YOUR VACATION — ALL IN ONE PLACE
Exploring St. John by car is part of the adventure, and we've made it easy by offering in-house rental vehicles directly to our villa guests.
Instead of spending your vacation coordinating with multiple companies, simply ask us about adding a rental vehicle to your Villa Belvedere stay.
We can also provide pickup at the St. John Ferry Terminal and help get you settled with your rental vehicle, so you can begin your vacation as soon as you arrive on island.
Villa Belvedere includes private, well-lit parking and is approximately 10 minutes from the Cruz Bay ferry dock.
Having your own vehicle gives you the freedom to explore St. John's incredible beaches, restaurants, National Park trails, scenic overlooks, Coral Bay, and hidden island favorites on your own schedule.
Please inquire about availability and reserving one of our in-house rental vehicles with your stay.
ADD A LUXURY DAY ON THE WATER WITH PALM TREE CHARTERS
Your St. John vacation doesn't have to stop at the shoreline.
Guests can also inquire about booking a luxury private boat charter with Palm Tree Charters, giving you the opportunity to experience the spectacular waters of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
Imagine leaving St. John for a day of turquoise Caribbean water, snorkeling, island hopping, secluded beaches, waterfront restaurants, and legendary beach bars—all from the comfort of your own private charter.
Choose an incredible day exploring the waters surrounding St. John and the USVI, or make it a BVI adventure and discover some of the neighboring British Virgin Islands.
Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, snorkeling, sightseeing, or simply an unforgettable day on the water, Palm Tree Charters can help create one of the highlights of your St. John vacation.
Please inquire about availability and booking your luxury Palm Tree Charters experience.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR AN ISLAND DAY

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Because Villa Belvedere sits dramatically above the Caribbean on a rocky waterfront cliff, guests should remain within the designated pool and outdoor living areas and never approach or venture beyond the cliff-side boundaries. Children and minors must be supervised by an adult at all times in outdoor areas.
The suites are non-smoking.
Check-in: 4:00 PM Check-out: 10:00 AM
Early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional fee. Please plan to arrive at Villa Belvedere by 9:00 PM. Guests expecting to arrive later should contact us in advance so arrangements can be made.
ISLAND LIVING
St. John is a beautiful island with limited natural resources, and we appreciate our guests helping us protect them.
Our water is collected through a cistern system and treated through a filtration system, so we ask guests to be mindful of water consumption.
Electricity is also considerably more expensive in the Virgin Islands than in many stateside locations. Please turn off unnecessary lights, fans, and A/C when leaving the property.
As with many St. John homes, Villa Belvedere uses a private wastewater treatment system. Only toilet paper and human waste may be flushed. Please do not place feminine products, wipes, paper products, or other objects in the toilets or drains.
Guests are responsible for taking securely bagged household trash to one of the public trash receptacles conveniently located along the route toward Cruz Bay. Please never leave trash outside, as it can attract local wildlife.
We also ask that guests rinse sand from themselves, beach chairs, and beach gear before entering the suites. An outdoor hose is provided for your convenience.
EXPERIENCE ST. JOHN YOUR WAY
Villa Belvedere isn't about crowded resorts or cookie-cutter accommodations.
It's about waking to the sound of the Caribbean, watching the sun disappear beyond the islands, enjoying your own secluded pool, and experiencing St. John at your own pace.
Stay overlooking the Caribbean. Explore St. John with one of our in-house rental vehicles. Then spend an unforgettable day on the water with Palm Tree Charters.
One vacation. One local team. St. John by land and the Virgin Islands by sea.
Welcome to Villa Belvedere Oceanfront Suites.
Your secluded St. John paradise awaits.

Fantastic property and vacation. We planned each day around being home for sunset in the pool! Secluded, yet so close to restaurants and beaches. Large, clean, well decorated rooms with balconies were fantastic. Outdoor showers were a delight! Quick responses from host. Would stay here again when we return to St. John. Not a warning, just a tip for future travelers - the kitchen is outdoors (as seen in pics). Stop at property first before grocery shopping to assess your skills/interests in cooking there. It was great for us but we definitely chose foods differently after seeing kitchen set up.
We had everything we needed to cook any meal. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We really loved the outdoor showers! Parking was a non-issue. The pool and view were amazing! Honestly, the perfect space and location for two couples.
Highly recommend this property! The views were incredible, the rooms were in great condition, the pool and outdoor area were even better than advertised. The communication was always quick and very helpful and the check in and check out processes were seamless. We will 100% be back!
We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The ocean view is absolutely beautiful, especially from the pool area. The villa was very clean, comfortable. It needs some updates but the view was The location is also very convenient — close to Starfish Market for groceries and on the same plaza you can enjoy the best coffee at Giovanni’s. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the island. We would happily stay here again!
Amazing view with sunsets! Private pool overlooking the water was a great way to relax. Rooms were very comfortable with private balconies. Close to Cruz Bay. Would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our week stay. The property was clean and Chris was amazing! He took really good care of us and stayed in contact with me throughout the week. Despite the island losing power, we made the best of our time there. The two separated rooms were perfect our family. The only suggestion that I have is that you replace the patio cushions as they are pretty worn out and icky. Thank you!
The views are possibly the best on the island!! Sitting up high overlooking St. Thomas, little saint James and basically endless views. You have the opportunity to watch sunsets from the pool. Truly incredible!! The showers are open sky. The outdoor kitchen met all our needs. In all our travels, the views here might be the best. EZ and private location to start your journey touring the island’s beautiful beaches and great restaurants. (Definitely need a rental car)
The location was perfect! We could sit on our balcony and drink our coffee each morning and watch the sunset poolside each afternoon. We caught fish one day and grilled dinner several evenings. The bedrooms were spacious and well decorated and so were the bathrooms, but the rock outdoor showers connected to the restrooms were my absolute favorite! This vacation in St. John has surpassed our favorite Costa Rican vacay.
We had a wonderful week! The property was exactly as described. Rooms were clean and the view is absolutely stunning. Loved the outdoor showers! Pool was great, plenty of seating, kitchen stocked. Beach towels and cooler so handy. Easy parking. Totally private & peaceful.
The power (on the whole island) went out 5 times that week and there is no generator at this property. Didn't bother us too much but should be noted.
As to other reviews, there was some peeling paint/minor repairs that could be done but they didn't affect us at all. There was both a regular coffee maker & a Keurig.
I would recommend this rental to anyone with 2 couples or a family with teens. Again: gorgeous view!
We had an amazing stay! The view, the pool, the comfortable bed, the communication! Everything was spot on. Highly recommend this outstanding property!
Clean and quiet inside. Hosts were accommodating and friendly. Amazing sunsets every evening and close enough to everything by car.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2023
They made no requests or expressed any needs to me throughout the stay which is sort of unusual. Everything that was available to them was stated on the website although it appears they might not have read all the comments on the VRBO listing. Not sure why these guests gave me only 4 stars.... I was capable of giving them much more information than they requested. I am disappointed about their review.
Our family of 2 adults & 11yo had a fabulous week at the house. The location is perfect for both beaches and coral bay. Sunsets from the pool don’t get much better than this! We will definitely come back!
This property was absolutely amazing. Accurate description, easy check in, great space overall. The outdoor showers were so unique and cool, the pool was as amazing as I’d hoped and the views were hard to beat. Units were well-equipped and in good order. Chris was a great on site host. Would definitely stay here again if the occasion arises!
