Secluded Oceanfront Villa • Pool • Incredible Views • In-House Car Rental
VILLA BELVEDERE OCEANFRONT SUITES Secluded Oceanfront Escape • Pool • 180° Caribbean Views • In-House Car Hire
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 towards 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 accommodation 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 towards the lights of St. Thomas.
Villa Belvedere is ideal for couples, friends, and adult travellers 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 holiday 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 holiday 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 favourites on your own schedule.
Please enquire 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 holiday doesn't have to stop at the shoreline.
Guests can also enquire about booking a luxury private boat charter with Palm Tree Charters, giving you the opportunity to experience the spectacular waters of the US and British Virgin Islands.
Imagine leaving St. John for a day of turquoise Caribbean water, snorkelling, island hopping, secluded beaches, waterfront restaurants, and legendary beach bars—all from the comfort of your own private charter.

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 towards 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 accommodation.
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 holiday. 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.

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!
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!
We had an amazing stay! The view, the pool, the comfortable bed, the communication! Everything was spot on. Highly recommend this outstanding property!
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!
This place is as amazing! The views were stunning and everything was super nice and clean. Having designated parking spots was super convenient as parking can get a little crazy there. They provided beach towels, chairs, and a cooler which was very nice so we didn’t have to rent them! Overall was a great stay the only issue we had was the person who was supposed to be in contact with us was not super responsive and we had to be the ones the reach out to him after getting in contact with the owners. The owners were super nice and helpful though and responded very quickly!
This was a spectactular home. It was great with the 2 rooms for the teenage girls and the parents. the pool was amazing and the views to die for. Close to town and everything on the island. The owner communicated well and the property manager was very accomdating since we missed our car barge and rearranged his schedule to meet us much later than expected. The views from anywhere on the property are breathtaking. Small kitchen and wigh basic amenties. Perfect vacation....
Can’t beat the views, especially at sunset. Rooms were great, and just a few minutes from Cruz Bay.
Only reason we did not give five stars is because the power was out the first night, and there was no generator to provide lights or running water, so the property manager advised that we should find another place to stay and that we would be refunded for that night, so we did. But it’s been several weeks, and still no refund for the missed night.
We can’t say enough about this beautiful property and I challenge you to find a better view! Everything about this Villa exceeded our expectations. Even with STJ’s beautiful beaches and hiking, we still looked forward to coming back to appreciate the wonderful sunsets. The outdoor showers, especially the one with the cutout allowing you to enjoy the ocean view was truly amazing. Any questions we had were immediately addressed by either Joy or her property manager Chris. From the patio, we were close enough to spot a couple sea turtles. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back.
We loved our stay at Villa Belevedere. The description was exactly as described and there were no surprises. We really appreciated the extras provided like beach chairs and a cooler, which we used every day. Captain Chris was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The only reason I gave the check in process 4 stars is because I am super type A and didn’t know what to expect for check in until early afternoon on the day we arrived. It would have been great to get a message detailing the check in process so we knew what to expect. Overall, it was absolutely wonderful and we most certainly will be back.
This is a beautiful 2 bedroom villa right on the tip of Great Cruz Bay Road. We only used one of the bedrooms for our 3 night stay. The pool was clean, grounds were clean, the outdoor kitchen and grill area was clean and in working order. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The only minor complaints we had are that is not a washer/dryer unit as we had hoped for and we didn't love having to take all trash out of the unit when we left. I'd have paid a little extra just to not have had to do that!

Amazing Stay
We had an amazing stay at Villa Belvedere. Although the check in process didn’t go as smooth as we’d like, the rest of the stay was perfect. We originally coordinated with the property manager to meet us at the ferry dock but he did not show up or answer our calls which was very concerning. We eventually got in touch with him after picking up our Jeep rental and driving to the grocery store. Since it was about 3pm at this point the owner did remind us that check in was at 4pm so technically we still got in early. It was just the lack of communication that really made us worry. There was a time period where I was worried we had no place to stay so you can imagine the unnecessary elevated stress we had to start our trip.
Unfortunately some of the pictures on VRBO appear to be outdated (pre hurricane) so that added to some of the initial confusion. I need to read the description again because I was also surprised to see the kitchenette being outdoors. That didn’t stop us from making fantastic pasta but again, just not up to expectations. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. I’d definitely stay there again knowing what I know now.

Villa Belvedere is a 3-star villa with a 5-star View
The villa cozy, modern retreat with a fantastic outdoor shower. The outdoor kitchenette is perfect for those who enjoy a bit of adventure, think of it as glamorous camping! Just be prepared for the occasional visit from the local wildlife. We had a rat drop by a couple of times. Unfortunately, the property manager was off the island and not very helpful.
The villa has its quirks. The dishes in the cabinet were dirty, and the microwave door requires a special technique—push the button and pull the door at the same time. It's like a secret handshake! We had a toilet leak, and his response was to ask for more details. It felt like we were solving a mystery rather than fixing a leak.
The steps down to the pool have a PVC handrail that came apart in my hand! The beach chairs are more suited for a soccer game than a beach day, but the owner reimbursed us for the rentals. The balcony pergolas are falling apart, and the property still shows significant damage from past hurricanes.
The pool area and view is breathtaking. Just don't turn around and look at the property ruins from the hurricane—it kind of ruins the vibe.
First impressions were a bit rundown as far as the outdoor facilities, garden areas, patio cushions, and railings. There is no common living areas and even the makeshift kitchen was outdoors with minimal amenities (no stove/toaster oven, microwave, etc.) The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean with great air conditioning and fans! The outdoor showers were nice but not necessary cleaned out from leaves, twigs, etc. The views were great and the pool was nice! The location was safe and within a 5 minute drive to one of the grocery stores and a 10 minute drive to town center of Cruz Bay.
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.
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.
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.
