About this property

Maria Bluff Estate | 7BR Stunning Views | BookVI

Summary:

The ultimate private retreat, Maria Bluff Estate sits atop a secluded bluff in a private cul-de-sac, with panoramic Caribbean views stretching in every direction. This 7-bedroom, 10,000+ square foot estate includes a main house and cottage, linked by a private walkway. Each has its own pool and kitchen for added privacy. A backup generator ensures uninterrupted comfort, just 5 minutes from Cruz Bay.



The Space:

Maria Bluff Estate features seven distinctively designed suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, incredible view, luxury furnishings, and plush bedding and towels. Five suites are in the Great House, and two are in the two-story Cottage, each positioned for privacy. There is an additional powder room in the living area of the Great House. Whatever your group size, Maria Bluff Estate has the space to accommodate you.



Following a multi-million dollar renovation, this supremely luxurious estate sits high above the Caribbean, with panoramic views to the North, South, East, and West, and refreshing breezes day and night.



The Great House includes a chef's eat-in kitchen, a dining area for 12, two living rooms, a full entertainment surround sound system, a Disney+ suite of streaming (Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Ultimate), a game area with a pool table, and a guest laundry area. Off the main kitchen is a large covered outdoor dining and seating area for up to 12. The lower living room opens onto a veranda with exquisite ocean views and seating for up to 20.



Across the expansive coral stone deck, the Sleep House holds four of the five bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms; one on the upper level and one on the lower level each open onto a private deck. The coral stone deck and pool area connecting the two spaces offer ample room to enjoy the sun, along with a full outdoor kitchen.



The Two-Story Cottage is an entirely new structure with its own private driveway large enough to hold 2 Jeeps. The Cottage is equipped with all the amenities: a full kitchen, living room, laundry area, coral stone deck, outdoor dining, a private pool, and 2 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The second story bedroom has a deck to take in the sweeping views. The Cottage connects to the Great House via a short stone walkway. There is a landscaped privacy hedge between the two buildings so the Cottage can be rented as part of the full Estate or separately.

Wonderful home in St John

We spent a week with three families together at the estate. The friendly service and wonderful welcome was only outshone by the stunning views and perfect layout for our week on St John. We were happy with every detail and definitely hope to return!

Amazing stay! We got to host our wedding here and it was the most amazing backdrop. The hosts were extremely responsive and supportive while we were on the island - we can’t thank them enough! Truly the nicest and most accommodating folks. Our AC went out in our bedroom and they installed a new unit same day that works VERY well! They helped us find vendors and restaurants around the island. The best experience. I don’t know if we could make a trip to Maria Bluff happen again, but if we can we absolutely will!! We rented our cars through the villa too which worked so well because we had a lot of people to coordinate. The power went out on the island and we had NO issues whatsoever at the villa, the generators worked amazing, most of us didn’t even notice the power was out even for a moment. So don’t have any worries about that!

Amazing Vacation

It was everything we could of dreamed of! The only wish we had was that we could of paid extra for heating the pool but they didn’t have a heater! The house was absolutely perfect and a magnificent compound!

Not to be missed.

This property was perfect for our extended family of 13 - plenty of room for all of us to be together, yet still have our own individual space. The only arguments were over which outdoor area we should enjoy for cocktail hour. Great views, family size pool, and always a beautiful breeze. The BookVI team was a pleasure to work with ahead of and during our stay. Can’t say enough about how helpful Brendan, Ashley and Dana were. Initially planned this as a one time trip to celebrate our parents’ 50th anniversary, but everyone loved the island and the property so much we’re making this an annual event. Highly recommend!

Family Christmas Trip

We are a family of 11. Parents, kids, and grandkids. The home and grounds were perfect for our group. The beds were deliciously comfortable. The kitchen/dining room area accommodated all of us comfortably. The two dishwashers came in handy. Plenty of seating for nightly charades and games. Kids and guys loved the billiard table. The view was "to die for" from multiple vantage points, with plenty of outdoor seating as well. The outdoor kitchen was put to use as well. The ice chests came in handy, as well as the beach chairs - nice touch! Can't think of anything about this property that wasn't a "10" ! It helped make our family trip a memory we will never forget!
