About this villa rental
Visitors to St. John marvel at the beauty of the world renowned beaches, but very few of them are able to sleep within sight and sound of the water. The Beach Villa, located just steps from the Caribbean Sea, is now available for the fortunate few and is perfect for groups of couples, family gatherings & reunions and wedding events.
The Beach Villa is St. John's premier luxury villa unmatched and offering no compromises. The Villa is five minutes to the village (see our maps page) where you can enjoy fine dining, unique shopping, dive shops and gourmet grocery and ten minutes to the best-in-world, spectacular, north shore National Park Beaches.
Donald and Deborah Schnell have brought the experiences from over thirty years of living on Saint John and hosting guests in their other villas to the creation and decoration of the Beach Villa. This is a very personal endeavor and this new villa incorporates all the features you "wish" other villas offered. All the sliding glass doors pocketing opening unobstructed to the lush tropical gardens to all the king size master bedroom suites being equally grand so no one is short changed. The hand of the artist is evident everywhere in the numerous details. The Schnell's three children also contributed to bringing the villa to life.
Orchids and bougainvillea of every color bloom extravagantly. The beauty of the flowers is complemented by a sculpture garden and a little tropical fish pond governed by Morgan the turtle. The sound of wind chimes floats on the breeze. Works of art from the Schnell's own collection and from the Donald Schnell Studio at The Amoré Center are throughout the villa.
Inside the spacious villa, the great room is sprinkled with whimsical modern touches, (You'll want to take the giraffe home with you, but he is a permanent resident.) Open to sea breezes in three sides, the great room can be easily secured by closing the sliding glass doors if you wish to use the air conditioning. For entertainment, there is a CD player, cable television, a VCR and a piano procured for a famous musician who was a previous guest. A polished mahogany open stairway backed by a glass block wall leads to three master bedroom suites on the second level. The two story guest pavilion adjoins the main villa with two additional master bedroom suites.
Each suite has its own balcony, and a separate entrance from the outside. A water view from every bedroom, and a tropical color theme make each room distinctive. Two of the suites offer an extra twin bed, perfect to accommodate older children.

Perfect location for 10 of us to welcome in the new year! This was such a beautiful house with unique artwork -- made by the owner — and well-tended garden and greene and pool area. A house with great character for us grandparents, 2 couples and 4 teen-aged grandkids. Also big enough that we all had space to be alone to read or nap along the water’s edge. All 10 of us played games in the living room, and were able to fit for dinner either inside or outside.
—The house is right on the water, with views of the whole of Great Cruz Bay. We could see the Westin but mostly didn’t hear the hotel guests or other boats, except a little happy hour live music, which was nice. There was almost no noise after sunset EVEN on New Year’s Eve.
—The 5 bedrooms are spacious and quiet, each with individual a/c.
—Yes, we rented kayaks and paddle boards and used them right from the stone steps of the house. LOVED this option. We had them delivered to the house for the week, which was great.
—Kitchen is well equipped. We bbq’d, cooked and baked and there was no kitchen tool that we didn’t find.
—Wifi was what you’d expect on an island. Very good in some rooms and along some balconies. Other rooms not as good. Yes, strong enough for a Zoom phone call from certain rooms, but downloads were slow.
—Owner was super responsive — texting almost immediately to even small questions and sending workers to help when we couldn’t figure out. Thank you!

The title says it all! The host, Donald, was just a joy. He couldn't have been more accommodating. There were just so many personal touches. The villa is gorgeous and the vegetation is so lush. It was also good for a necessary wheelchair with a first floor bedroom. I can't possibly list all the wonderful things about this estate...I'd run out of space!

We had five couples vacationing together for a week. We planned a couple of outings, but spent most of the week just relaxing around the villa. Everything for a perfect vacation is right there! We enjoyed every second of our stay and recommend the Beach Villa for the views, house, pool, hot tub, beach, walk-out to the ocean, and terrific hosts.

Beautiful Vacation
The Beach Villa was more beautiful then the pictures!! We had the best vacation and will definitely stay there next year. The property can only be described as a tropical garden, and the buildings are spectacular. It was the perfect location for my husband and my two daughters, son-in-laws and three grandchildren.

Beyond amazing!
Our trip was absolutely amazing! 5-star rating isn’t high enough for our experience. The property was excellent and the service provided by Don was over and beyond anything I had previously experienced with a vacation rental. He was there anytime we needed something or had questions which made our trip more relaxing. I highly recommend booking this beautiful beach villa for your family trip to St Jobn!

Great Getaway
The house catered to a large group with multiple bedrooms available all with wonderful bathrooms. The setting can't be beat with a secluded pool area and a beach view. There was even waterfront swimming which is hard to find in St. John. Would love to go back and stay there again. Donald and Debbie were great and super friendly.
