About this property

Elegant Sanctuary in a Mesmerizing Upper Peter Bay Setting, Luxury & Privacy

Perched 500 feet on a hillside in the gated enclave of Upper Peter bay is an elegant sanctuary in a mesmerizing setting. Villa Carlota was lovingly constructed by a family whose dream was to create a stylish residence adorned with art and antiques collected from their extensive world travels while preserving privacy as their family grew. Noted for our amazing views, luxuriously appointments and privacy Villa Carlota offers five large bedroom/bath suites, large main living room and dining room, gourmet kitchen as well as a cottage with a smaller living area with an adjustable sofa sleeper, kitchenette, bath suite all across three pavilions with central A/C, high-thread count linens, ironed for your pleasure, hand carved mahogany furniture, large private balconies, thick all cotton bath towels and L'Occitane products for our guests to try. Property is completely WIFI with smart TVs featuring Dish Network as well as streaming.
Through an electronic gate and from the driveway courtyard, a native stone entryway welcomes you; a graceful coral stone staircase curves down to the expansive terrace where an Italian baroque lion's head fountain spouts a bubbling welcome. A second Italian marble fountain gurgles at the pool's edge, a large infinity-edge pool which blends into the magnificent 180-degree view of Peter Bay below and the Caribbean Sea beyond, a vista dotted with the islets and cays of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. All of the perfect National Park beaches, such as Trunk and Cinnamon Bays, are less than a 10-minute easy drive from Villa Carlota. Beach chairs, beach towels and cooler are provided for your trips to the beach, fill the cooler with ice from our extra large ice maker beneath the pool bar and enjoy! Rinse off in the outside stone shower on your return.

Beautiful house on the hill
This is a gorgeous property and a great location. About 15 minute drive to Cruz Bay and 15 minutes within most of the beaches! Property manager is great and very responsive. We had 10 people staying in everyone fit comfortably. You can see about four or five beaches from this location it’s just stunning.

Breathtaking views
We have been coming to St. John for over 22 years. This was for my 50th birthday celebration. The villa did not disappoint, and we have stayed at a lot of different villas over the years. The listing is very accurate. We had a few minor issues that were addressed right away. We all had plenty of room to spread out. The outside bar area was huge hit with our group. The views were some of the best I've ever seen on island. If you have a big group this is the villa for you.

Dream Vacation Fulfilled!
I had always dreamed of taking the entire family on a special getaway and finally had a chance to do it at the Villa Carlota in St John. Our family had an incredible time in St. John and found Villa Carlota to be an amazing place with breathtaking 180-degree views of the National Park bays and surrounding Islands. It was only a short car ride to some of the world's most beautiful beaches and great restaurants. There was plenty of room for our family of 9 to spread out in private luxurious spaces, and also great central locations to gather under the outside Veranda and the grand Kitchen / living space. The main level bedroom was ideal for my husband and myself because he does have some mobility limitations. The beautiful infinity pool was a family favorite and much larger than we envisioned from the pictures. The property manager, Luciah, was very responsive to our needs and even ran to the store to pick up a shower chair for my husband! Thank you to the owners of Villa Carlota for sharing this amazing place and bringing my "dream vacation" to a reality.

What makes this property unique

Villa Carlota was designed to be a family home that allowed for privacy for the entire family as it matured. Great care was taken to make sure that each private suite had surrounding views in all directions possible as well as balconies or verandahs to enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The large wrap-around verandah on the main house was designed to draw the family together for dining, enjoying music and celebrating holidays with the adjoining infinity pool for water based activities. Our home is as beautiful and inviting outside as it is inside.
