About this property

BeachFront Cottage-St John's Best Kept Secret just 2 blks to Town, Rent 1 or 2 B

  • 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.

    The villa is equipped with solar panels and a Tesla back-up battery system which automatically engages in the event of a power outage.

    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 + tax per guest.

    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. A signed Rental Agreement is required.
