About this house rental

Seaside Vista was a private home for years. Now the new owner did a total renovation and has placed it on the vacation rental market.

Seaside Vista is the closest oceanfront villa to town; a very unique property, next to Gallows Point. Imagine being able to take a dip in the ocean anytime you like, only steps away from your own beach house! Seaside Vista underwent extensive renovation after the hurricane including new high quality finishes and all new furnishings which will make your stay truly enjoyable.

Over 175 Five Star Reviews on VRBO and Trip Advisor
Book with confidence knowing that past guests have given Seaside Vista their highest ratings.

Most of the other options available in town are condos. Instead of sharing walls and a building with many others in a condo, you can enjoy the privacy of your own beachfront villa?

in 2018, the owner completed a top to bottom renovation, a real vintage Caribbean Cottage with modern touches done in a way to preserve the unique relaxing cottage feel, yet with an element of understated luxury. Because its just around the corner from Gallows Point, it hides any noise from town, yet its an easy 2 block stroll to the heart of Cruz Bay.
You'll enjoy the soothing sounds of the surf from the large 15' x 20' screened in terrace as you watch the sailboats go by. In the evening, enjoy fabulous sunsets year round plus the twinkling lights of St Thomas.

The air conditioned spacious master bedroom (14' x 12') has a king size bed with direct access to the large ocean view terrace. The bedroom's windows on 3 sides provide cooling Caribbean breezes and an ocean view.

The beautiful Restoration Hardware bath is accessed directly from the master bedroom. Seaside Vista is perfect for a couple as you can rent the cottage with the 2nd bedroom locked, and the rate is priced accordingly. (The 2nd bedroom is never rented to a different party.) The published rate is for the 1 bedroom, up to 2 guests.

The second air conditioned bedroom was thoughtfully designed in a nautical style with new twin bunk beds. A blow up twin mattress is also available for a 3rd child. For convenience, the bathroom is accessible right from the second bedroom as well. The cost for 2nd bedroom/additional guests is $50 per night per guest. Road/construction: in 2022 work is underway to bury the utility lines on the major roadways. This may cause some slight traffic delays. Also, as a result of hurricane Irma/Maria there is still rebuilding going on in the areas surrounding Cruz Bay Town & other parts of the island.

The large newly tiled terrace has plenty of room for relaxing and dining and features all new furniture. The kitchen has been totally remodeled and features new counters, appliances and a more contemporary open floor plan to the living room (20' x 11'). A new counter with bar stools makes it a great place to hang. The living room has large ocean view windows with a comfy sectional couch and a doorway that opens up directly to the terrace. There is also a furnished private courtyard with a grill.

I provide my guests with lots of information to help make their travel to St John and their stay more enjoyable. I invite you to read the guest reviews. Enjoy this pristine cottage all to yourself....a vacation you will truly cherish for years to come.

Note about video on this site: This video was shot before the hurricanes consequently it shows some pre-storm decor and furnishings. The villas has been completely repaired. The villa photos on this site were all taken post storm, that's why you will see some differences. A signed Rental Agreement is required.

The location made it so easy to walk to Cruz Bay restaurants and when we drove to beaches they were easily accessible.

First of all we love St. John ( it is our “One Particular Harbor”)! Second of all, we hit the jackpot when we reserved Seaside Vista Villa! Loved the screened in porch - coffee in the morning and sunset Happy Hour every evening! Our new pastime is watching all the peacocks!! Another plus is how close the Villa is to the heartbeat of Cruz Bay, lots to do in town! The inside of the Villa has all the things you might need. Plenty of towels, dishes, glasses and anything you might need for cooking. It has a nice grill area too. There are even beach towels, beach chairs and a small canopy to pitch at the beach. All in all this was a very stress free vacation you will relax as soon as you arrive! Have fun!!! Jeanne and Rick H.

If you are looking to be within walking distance of the restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay, this is the place for you. Very clean and quiet and wonderful wild life just outside your door. The screened in porch was the real winner. Such a great view and sounds of waves. Would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The views from the screened in porch were incredible. We saw some incredible sunsets and enjoyed waking up with coffee there each morning. The condo was in great shape and had everything we needed. The master bed was comfy and the kids slept well in the bunk beds. The location was perfect. It was a short walk along the water into town. We rented a car half the time so we could explore more of the island, but the first half of the trip we carried our beach stuff down the hill each morning and caught a taxi to and from the beaches without any issues. If you don't want to rent a car while you're there, that's another big plus for this place. Michael was very helpful and informative throughout the booking process and leading up to our trip and he was very responsive during our stay when we had questions. Only good things to say about Seaside Vista. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
