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.

Perfect Getaway!! Even better than expected. The property was spotless and exactly as described in the listing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the bedding was very comfortable. The location was ideal. Close enough to all attractions, but definitely a qiet and relaxing area. We especially liked the outdoor space and enjoyed all of our meals on the patio overlooking Coral Bay.The host, Lois, was friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay, even providing local recommendations that turned out to be amazing. Her attention to detail was honestly amazing!!!! It was those little things, like a pen and notepad at the bedside; a small flashlight at bedside. These little items make a big difference!!!!! Above and beyond!!! Ty, Lois.J. CookPensacola, FL

The view is EXACTLY as advertised and the photos of the property are current as well. What a wonderful place to relax and unwind, couldn't be happier with the experience. Renting a Jeep is a requirement, not and option, to get to the villa, the beaches and the restaurants. The grocery in Cruz Bay has everything you'd need and there are two just down the hill in Coral Bay that have most things as well. The beaches are amazing! Maho, Truck, and Cinnamon are all in the National Forest area and only 15 minutes or so from the villa. All the beaches on the North Shore road are wonderful, but those are our 3 favorites. Chilling in the private pool was fantastic and we were in it every day (salt system, so very clean and no chemicals). Spent one whole day just enjoying the villa and pool. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was huge and inviting. The kitchenette had everything you'd need and was more than adequate, as long as you don't need to cook a huge gourmet meal (no full size oven, but who cares). Plenty of beach stuff to use, and beach access at the 3 faves was super close to parking, so no shlepping issues. We enjoyed every minute and would rent this property again for sure. No need to add a photo since it looks exactly like the photos in the listing. Enjoy!

This cottage is very private, everything worked well, beautiful finishes and breath taking views. The outdoor area is huge with a cable railing system that lends to sitting back and taking in all of coral bay and most of the B.V.I.s.

Slice of heaven

This is a beautiful, well-maintained property with a gorgeous view that was perfect for a quiet and isolated vacation during a pandemic. It is quite a steep drive up the hill so although we made do with a RAV4, I would suggest a jeep might be better for maneuvering. Property manager was super responsive - snorkeling and boat trip with Joy were great add-ons. Lovely place, highly recommend it.

This villa is perfect if you're looking for a quiet getaway. The owner has many ammenities onsite (like coolers, hats, sunblock, beach towels, etc.) that help you to save money and are very convenient! Every morning you wake up to bird song and gorgeous views of the bay below and the outdoor shower is perfect for a post hike/beach refresh. Joy is truly great if you have any hiccups in your stay and is very responsive. I can't recommend this villa enough!

Spectacular View!

This property was just as described, with stunningly beautiful views and a great deal of quiet and privacy. It was well-equipped and provided a spacious bathroom. My only suggestion would be another light source in the main room as it was a little dim at night for our older eyes. That being said, it was so peaceful and relaxing that we had to make ourselves leave each day for the various beaches!

Couples Retreat

My husband and I went to St. John for our 20th wedding anniversary. Villa Celeste was the perfect spot to spend our week. It was extremely private and quiet but close enough to all the areas of the island we wanted to visit. The view was breathtakingly! Incredible to wake up the such beautiful sunrises each morning. Everything about the house was great! Lois provided all the necessary communication and her property manager Joy who was on island was always available for any needs. I have already recommended this property to friends and other couples we met in our travels. Hope to return at some time in the future. Would definitely stay again!

AMAZING VIEWS FROM VILLA CELESTE

As the title suggests the view from the Villa is stunning. The property itself is very well appointed - the bedroom/living area is pleasant and airy, there is an excellent bathroom with large walk in shower and separate large laundry/storage area. The cosy kitchen is very well equipped and accommodated our dining in when it was too windy to sit out. The vast patio area has an excellent and well maintained bbq and plenty of quality furniture. Access to the Villa with its fabulous position requires a jeep or similar (Lois made this clear to us) as the approach road is very steep. Walking to and from Coral Bay is not an option. As keen walkers, the remoteness did not suit us as much as it will undoubtedly suit others. Having said that, we’re pleased we rented Villa Celeste, had a wonderful time and shall return to St John.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Celeste last week. This is the perfect property for couples looking to stay in the Coral Bay area. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on St. John. One of the best perks of staying here is the property manager Joy. Joy was a tremendous resource with dining, nightlife, and snorkeling recommendations. She even sourced some local lobster that we grilled at the villa. It was fantastic. Thanks Joy! This is an outstanding property owned/managed by people who want you to have the best experience while you're there.

Paradise!

This villa was fantastic. Arguably the best views on the entire island! Short drive to Maho beach (sea turtles), Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay. All of the beaches were stunning and not crowded! Convenient grocery store at the bottom of the hill with live music at most of the restaurants down in Coral Bay. We used Joy as our island concierge and she was knowledgeable and kind! Her personal touches to the property were so thoughtful. She guided us on where to eat, and what to see and do. She was also a great help navigating the steep driveway to the villa our first night too! We went out on their Sailboat, Harmony, and relaxed, snorkeled Salt Pond Beach and Hurricane Hole. Such a wonderful stay. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Island Perfection!

All of our boxes were checked off, and then some. The welcoming by Joy is so helpful to understand how, what and where is happening in the coral Bay Area. Actually she filled in sites and sounds for the entire island. The accommodation are impeccable! It has everything you need to unwind, relax and get to on “ Island Time” immediately. The pics on the site are spot on, the view spectacular. The breeze over the island made the evenings cool and pleasant. Sheetz were crisp, kitchen well appointed, bath area was spotless. Patio dining was perfect - enjoyed our meals with the view. The beach essentials: towels, pool noodles, coolers and chairs enhanced our exploring moments to a “T” The nights were quiet,outside of the natural sounds of the island…They make you understand that you are I. A very special place! So appreciate the opportunity that you share this special place with others! Loved our time!

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.
