About this villa rental
Located in the exclusive enclave of Point Rendezvous on the south shore of St. John, Island Rider is a fully renovated villa that sits upon the open breezy hillside above Klein Bay. Island Rider's sprawling verandas overlook the gentle curves of Rendezvous Bay and Ditliff Point. This beautifully appointed four bedroom home holds all of the charm of the old St. John with beautiful stone work while providing all of the modern amenities one could expect in a luxury home including a fabulous solar heated pool.
This villa sets the standards in modern vacation accommodations with a state of the art gourmet kitchen and open dining room for entertaining, as well as a separate media room to relax in for a night of watching movies. The spacious open plan living area opens to spectacular views south on one side and an expansive covered patio for grilling in back. There are four distinct outdoor seating areas that accommodate 8 guests for meals: The Veranda, Courtyard, Pool Deck and Lower Deck.
Designed to be the ultimate personal retreat, Island Rider is the perfect getaway for friends or families with adult children. Located just five minutes from Cruz Bay, it has convenient access to town and the North Shore beaches but still provides the seclusion you want for your island getaway. Island Rider will offer you a vacation you will never forget.

From start to finish, this was fantastic! Gorgeous house, and the management was very responsive to every question we asked. Plenty of space to have your own area of peace. Loved the ice maker for drinks in the kitchen. 100% would stay here again and recommend to anyone. Very clean. Fabulous view.

The Island Rider experience was better than we could’ve ever imagined and definitely exceeded expectations! From the incredible views, sunsets and sunrises, this home was second to none. Awesome updated kitchen! We cooked multiple dinners and brunches and were able to thoroughly enjoy our meals on the huge deck overlooking the Sea. The pool was incredible and the hottub was a nice amenity! Everything was 5-Star and we will certainly be back for our next time on St. John, USVI! Special mention to our greeter/conceirge Jehlisa! She was amazing!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spectacular unobstructed views of the Caribbean sea. Beautiful morning sunrises, sun all day on the pool deck. Lovely sunsets in the evening. Plenty of shaded decks to get out of the sun when needed. The house is well appointed and very tastefully decorated. We lacked nothing during our stay. An easy drive into town and the beaches. House layout was wonderful with bedrooms separated from living areas for entertaining.

This was our 4th time renting a villa on St John and Island Rider was the most beautiful (hard to achieve among many beautiful villas!) The photos don't do it justice. The villa is beautifully decorated with a large comfortable sectional in the main living space and nice sturdy outdoor furniture. The bedrooms are all en suite with very comfortable king beds. The view is nearly a 180 degree water view - absolutely gorgeous with views of both sunrise and sunset. The pool is small and cool but refreshing and we enjoyed the hot tub too. We had not stayed as far from Cruz Bay before but it was only about 10 mins to town. Overall, a beautiful and well appointed villa and the caretakers (Catered To) were excellent and very responsive.

Our experience with Catered was excellent. Everyone we dealt with was very professional and pleasant. It was clear they wanted our stay to be as positive as possible. The property was beautiful and in excellent condition. We have been using Catered To for 20 years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

This villa doesn't disappoint! The view, the appointments, the management representatives, and the location are all fantastic. We'd definitely stay here again. Great for a large family or couples with lots of common areas as well as large bedrooms for personal space.

Absolutely a fantastic, restful stay! And the view, oh my. Super clean property, convenient to town yet far enough away. The "subdivision" had enough safe streets for an hours walk.

Our Island Rider Villa was perfect for our group of 3 couples for our week in St. John VI. The villa has gorgeous bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and privacy. The pool and hot tub has amazing views and was so relaxing after a day at the beaches. We cooked breakfast at home, made picnic lunch for the beach during the day and enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and porches in the evenings. Catered to You was so professional and helped us every step of the way. You will love the house too :)

We had a great time!! The view from this villa does not disappoint!! The villa was so nice and well kept and Catered To did a great job of solving any issues we had. Vernesta and Vicky were great and answered tons of questions for us while booking and while there. We did not want to leave. Nothing better than waking up to that view every day!! It is located far enough away for privacy but close enough to Cruz Bay for shopping, eating and groceries! WE LOVED IT AND ONLY HOPE WE CAN COME BACK SOMEDAY. WE FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE GONE! THANKS AGAIN!! Shelly Hirschinger & family.
