St. John Villa Rentals

About St. John

Your Private Island Escape in the U.S. Virgin Islands 

Escape to St. John, the most unspoiled of the U.S. Virgin Islands, where emerald hills, turquoise bays, and white-sand beaches await. With two-thirds of the island protected as national parkland, St. John is a sanctuary for nature lovers, beachgoers, and anyone seeking a slower pace of life surrounded by Caribbean beauty.

Whether you’re craving a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, or a family reunion in paradise, our curated collection of St. John villas offers something exceptional. Choose from cliffside estates with panoramic sea views, beachfront hideaways with direct access to the sand, or contemporary hilltop homes with resort-style amenities.

From the moment you arrive, your St. John vacation rental becomes more than just a place to stay—it becomes your island home.

 

All St. John villas

Trunk Bay & Beyond

Regularly named one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Trunk Bay is a must-visit. Its famous underwater snorkeling trail leads you through coral gardens filled with vibrant marine life. Other stunning beaches include Cinnamon Bay, Hawksnest, and Maho Bay (perfect for spotting sea turtles).

 

Explore Virgin Islands National Park

With over 20 trails winding through tropical forest and historic sugar mill ruins, hiking in Virgin Islands National Park is both scenic and culturally enriching. Try the Reef Bay Trail for waterfalls and ancient petroglyphs, or Ram Head for dramatic ocean views.
 

Snorkeling & Scuba Adventures

St. John’s protected reefs make for world-class snorkeling and diving. Explore shallow bays teeming with fish, rays, and sea turtles—or book a guided dive to nearby underwater caves and shipwrecks.
 

Sailing & Day Trips

Charter a private sailboat or catamaran for a day of island hopping, snorkeling, and beach bar stops. While St. John itself has no airport, it’s easily accessible by ferry from St. Thomas and makes the perfect base for exploring the USVI and BVI (passport required for British Virgin Islands).

 

Dining & Island Culture

Cruz Bay and Coral Bay offer a relaxed but vibrant scene, with open-air restaurants, live music, artisan shops, and island-inspired cocktails. Fresh seafood and Caribbean flavors dominate the menu—from conch fritters to grilled mahi mahi.

Getting There

Fly into St. Thomas (STT) and take a scenic ferry ride to St. John—no airport means no big crowds, just beautiful views. Car rentals or private drivers are the best way to explore the island once you arrive.


When to Go

December to April is the high season, offering sunny skies and festive vibes. For a quieter (and more affordable) experience, visit in May or June, or September to early November, keeping in mind that it’s still warm but within hurricane season.


What to Pack

When deciding what to pack for your vacation to the U.S. Virgin Islands, think breezy clothes, comfortable shoes for hiking, swimsuits, and reef-safe sunscreen. Our villas in St. John are typically stocked with beach gear, but feel free to bring your own snorkel mask or water shoes.
