About this house rental

Located in Chocolate Hole, with a Southern view of the Caribbean Sea, POI PU is ideal for the family or couples traveling together. The secluded location surrounded by beautiful tropical flower gardens lets you enjoy a very private vacation. POI PU is located just 5 minutes from the town of Cruz Bay and its eclectic choices for duty free shopping and fine dining. Another 10-15 minutes will take you to the world famous beaches on the north shore within the VI National Park.

Upon entering the home you will be taken with the open architecture of the great room, dining area with seating for six and full kitchen with all of the features and amenities for preparing snacks to full meals. The breakfast counter provides an area for socializing with the cook while meals are prepared. The double doors off the inside dining area open to the side deck where you will find another table for alfresco dining for six while overlooking the gazebo and pool. The gas BBQ grill is located close by for preparing burgers and hot dogs to steaks and seafood.

Opening the three double doors around the perimeter of the home will virtually double the entire living space with the addition of the wrap around decks with lounge chairs and casual seating. The open beam ceilings with elegant ceiling fans will insure that the cooling tropical trade wind breezes are circulated throughout. With the perimeter doors open you will enjoy the commanding views of Chocolate Hole and the Caribbean Sea from the inner comfort of Poi Pu.

The family room offers a flat screen television with Cable TV and DVD Player and an audio sound system providing casual entertainment in a relaxing environment.

There are two air-conditioned bedrooms with king beds (which can be separated into to twins) located on the main level in addition to ceiling fans over the beds. The poolside bedroom also has a smart TV. Each bedroom has an adjacent half bath and share a large and impressive native stone shower with dual shower heads. The third bedroom is located in a large loft and features a queen size bed and tastefully appointed casual seating. (There is an outdoor motion camera pointed at the driveway).

Newly installed Tesla Solar Backup system will ensure you will still be sleeping comfortably when the power goes out!

We had an awesome time in St. John, and. Poi Pu villa was in a great location. Only 5 mins to Cruz Bay, we explored all the surrounding neighborhoods on foot, gaining beautiful vantage points of the island around every corner. A few days of our week stay (July) were incredibly hot so the dipping pool and rooms with AC were key. We learned to time our outings with the scheduled power outages in the PMs. We couldn’t quite figure out how to keep the open air living and kitchen mosquito free, but came close! Many many memories for years to come, hope to be back again some day!!

This is a great spot for a family or two couples. Small but well appointed with a fantastic outdoor space and great views. The pool was great with small kids and the hammock gets shade pretty much the whole day. Only a few minutes drive from Cruz Bay but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. There were beach chairs and some toys as well as a cooler to use which was fantastic. While we had a small issue with the water turning off, it was handled promptly and communication was excellent throughout the arrival and the rest of the week when we needed anything.

Our stay at Poi Pu was amazing. As beach lover's, Saint John is the most beautiful place on Earth. (In our opinion anyway.) Our favorite "restaurant" was staying in, grilling steak and veggies, sitting on the deck looking over our view of Saint John, with a dip in the pool to cool off. Amazing! While no ac in the house except the bedrooms, we learned quickly how to "work" the house to keep it as cool as possible, as well as how to keep the bugs at bay. Our 2 weeks flew by so fast, and is now a memory that we will never forget. I have so many pictures of the stunning landscape around the house as well as all the little chicks, birds and hummingbirds, but didnt get the iguana as he was to quick. So, if you are a stuffy, AC hotel type this might not work for you, however, if you want a secluded, peaceful, unbelievable beauty, nature inspired, relaxful vacation, this IS the spot!

Jackie was a great host. Answered all our questions almost immediately. We had a major storm blow through and had some minor issues she addressed. The house is well laid out and perfectly located. 5 mins drive to Cruz Bay. Beautiful views of Chocolate Hole. We did very little cooking, but the kitchen looked well stocked. I totally recommend Pui Po.

We had a wonderful time on St John. This property has a beautiful view and outdoor space and is less than 10 minutes drive to town. The layout of the house is great with two private bedrooms connected by a jack and jill bathroom plus a loft. The kitchen and bathroom are getting a little dated but function just fine. The owner and host were great to work with and very responsive.

We stayed in PoiPu for the first time in March of 2023. This was not our first time on St. John, so we chose this villa knowing the location and proximity to things like Cruz Bay, and the views! This villa was absolutely perfect in every way! The photos online don't really do it justice, as it is even more beautiful in person. Jackie was extremely helpful with booking, to start with. Gave us great recommendations for things to do around the island, as well as connections for things like rental cars, excursions, etc. The villa itself is in a GREAT location in Chocolate Hole, with spectacular views. Inside, it had everything we needed, and more. Plenty of room, very comfortable beds and furniture. We used the A/C in the bedroom only a couple of nights, as the temperatures were comfortable. Opening up all of the doors to the decks brings all of the outdoors inside, and gives you a wonderful breeze as well as spectacular views from wherever you are in the villa. The pool was PERFECT. Crystal clear water, perfect to jump into after a day at the beach. The outdoor shower was another great surprise that I didn't know about until we got there! The kitchen has EVERYTHING. We used the beach chairs daily, and they were all in great condition. The only thing I wish we had there was more time! A week was just not enough. We would love to return to PoiPu again! Thank you to Jackie for hosting us for another incredible St. John vacation!
