About this property

Arc du Soleil | Sunset Views | Pool | Generator

Summary:

Arc du Soleil was designed for guests to fully experience outdoor living on St. John, perfectly capturing the essence of the Caribbean lifestyle. The villa embraces the beauty of the island’s natural surroundings, allowing the tropical environment to become the most prominent feature and lasting allure of your stay.



This open-air design creates a uniquely tropical experience—one that brings the outdoors in and invites you to slow down, relax, and connect with nature in a way that can only be found in the islands.



We cordially invite you to come, unwind, and enjoy Arc du Soleil. 🌴



The Space:

Experience true Caribbean open-air living featuring magnificent native stone arches that frame a picture-perfect view of the Caribbean Sea—perfect for dramatic sunsets and unforgettable stargazing. The villa offers polished concrete floors, a spacious modern gourmet kitchen, and a beautifully designed primary bathroom with his-and-her vanities and a soaking tub—ideal for unwinding after a fun-filled day on the island.



The primary bedroom features a new Tempur-Pedic king bed, an en-suite bathroom with soaking tub, and an open hanging area for clothes in the bathroom. There are two additional guest bedrooms with en-suite baths. One is located on the main level with a Tempur-Pedic king bed, and the other is on the lower level with two twin beds that can be converted into a king, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups. 🌴



Guest Access:

BOOKVI will arrange for a personal greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a brief tour of the property, answer any questions about the home, and share helpful insights about the island. Check-in arrangements are tailored to your party size, arrival time, and familiarity with the area to ensure a smooth and welcoming arrival. 🌴



The Neighborhood:

With spacious decks and a large saltwater pool—which is gentler on your eyes, skin, and the environment—the villa offers the perfect vantage point to take in the spectacular views. From here, you can enjoy sweeping panoramas of Great Cruz Bay Harbor, across the Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas, and onward to the surrounding islands and cays, all while watching the endless Caribbean sunsets.



On especially clear days, you can even spot Vieques and the distant mountains of Puerto Rico on the horizon. 🌴



This beautifully landscaped island home, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, is just minutes from Cruz Bay’s shops, restaurants, and beach bars, and a short drive to the famous North Shore beaches of St. John.



For your beach adventures, Arc du Soleil provides several beach essentials, including chairs, an umbrella, beach towels, and soft-sided coolers, making it easy to enjoy relaxing days exploring the island’s stunning beaches. 🌴



Getting Around:

BOOKVI highly recommends renting a 4-wheel drive vehicle to comfortably navigate the terrain on St. John. We are happy to provide a list of trusted local rental companies, and we also have a few villa vehicles available for guests when available.



Current villa vehicle options may include:

• New Custom Toyota Land Cruiser – Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive – 5 Passenger

• Lexus GX – Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive – 6 Passenger

• Jeep Wrangler Islander (4-door) – Four-Wheel Drive – 5 Passenger

• Toyota Highlander – AWD – 6 Passenger

• Chevy Trax – AWD – 4 Passenger



Please inquire with the BOOKVI Team to check availability and explore the best option for your stay. 🚙🌴



If you prefer not to drive, we are also happy to arrange taxi service during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

All Guests will receive a contract for signature for terms and conditions. Once your flight is booked, we ask that you please provide your flight information so we can help plan a smooth arrival and transfer from the airport on St Thomas.



We can assist with arranging private transportation from the airport to the villa, private taxi service, boat charters, private chefs, and spa services. Guests can expect a few emails to help with your vacation planning. We look forward to welcoming you to St. John!



Interaction with Guests:

Arc Du Soleil is managed by BOOKVI, an island concierge service that is readily available to assist with guest needs — whether it’s dinner reservations, boat charters, or rental gear for your beach adventures.



There is also a full-time property management team on call for any maintenance needs during your stay.

This property is great! The open air concept was new for us and we found we really enjoyed it. It’s in a very quiet and private neighborhood close to town. The management company is responsive and communicates well. The description is on point. We will stay here again.

This place was incredible.. the views, the space, the hosts. All of it was perfect. We planned to get married elsewhere, but rain threw us a major curveball and we ended up doing it right there at the villa. No filters needed! The BookVI team was top-tier as well. Nothing short of 5 stars from us.

Magical view

We loved our stay at Arc du Soleil. The property was magnificent. Super clean, kitchen was well stocked for cooking and beds were very comfortable. The living room and kitchen were open air and bedrooms were air conditioned, temps were comfortable in both areas. The views were some of the best we have ever had. The team was very responsive if we needed anything. I would love to stay here again if back in St. John.

Our stay at Arc was outstanding from meeting our BookVI host at the house for a walkthrough to the house itself. The kitchen & great room were large and more than accommodated our party of six. Kitchen was well appointed with all types of serving ware, pans, utensils and appliances. Pool was crystal clear, warm and had multiple chairs & floats. We appreciated the multiple selections of coolers. Outdoor bar was just as amazing. The house itself was immaculately clean.Bedrooms were spacious & quiet with luxuriously comfortable beds & pillows. A/C in bedrooms was welcomed given the kitchen/GR was open to the outdoors, making for humid evenings when hanging out/dinner. Open air layout of kitchen/GR could be the only real downside of the property; since hanging out in the west facing room got rather warm. Upsides to the west facing room were incredible views in the morning to admire the harbor and evening to appreciate the starry sky.Given the open air layout; we expected bugs to be terrible which they were not, would still recommend to bring bug spray to ensure minimal nuisance from them.Arc is close to all beaches except for the far east side like Hanson Beach; but far enough out of Cruz Bay that you forgot it was only a 12 minute drive into town.We definitely give Arc a top recommendation to stay on St. John. Also top tier service from BookVI (both Brandons, Noel) who were responsive from initial scheduling & then throughout our stay answering all of our questions.

This is a beautiful and unique property! The outdoor living was super cool. We love being outside and the vibe here was awesome. The mosquitoes were a slight issue but easily kept at bay with bug spray. The kitchen was very well appointed and included most condiments and spices you would need. Just a fabulous property!

So Good You Might Never Leave the House!

We absolutely loved our stay at Arc Du Soleil! It is a beautiful property with breath-taking views, the most refreshing pool, a well stocked kitchen, and everything you could possibly need while you're on vacation, like coolers, towels, chairs, etc. There are so many spectacular beaches to explore on the Island of St. John, but renting a house like this makes it difficult to ever want to leave! We can't wait to come back!

Immaculately appointed villa with everything you could want- all quality furnishings & decor- just like you would do yourself. Great Chefs kitchen, fantastic master bedroom/bath, quality white linens/towels. Several Stocked beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear & noodles. They thought of things I didn't consider-loved the place! Bring bug repellent during the Fall although they do have a bunch of bug zappers-. Highly recommend!!

Our visit to St. John and our stay at Arc du Soleil could not have been more perfect. Brandon and the entire BookVI team did a fantastic job preparing the villa, meeting us at the ferry and welcoming us to the home, and assisting with any questions we had while on the island. We’ve stayed in a dozen villas on St. John, and this experience and villa are hands down the best we’ve had. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you all for making our week unforgettable!
