Our family of 10 stayed for 1 week. The house was large enough that everyone had ample room and plenty of family time. The bedrooms are all airconditioned and the pool was a fun meeting place for kids and adults. I would highly recommended this beautiful hone as a vacation paradise.

Our extended family of 10 ranging in age from 6 to 65 spent 5 nights at Vela Vista. The pics do not do the house and view justice!! Million dollar view! This is a beautiful property and we loved the seclusion on Bordeaux Mountain. The owner and property manager were very responsive and accommodating. 10/10 recommend booking this property!

The house was unique, well appointed and very comfortable. It hosted 4 couples and one adult child very comfortably in 5 nice bedrooms. Kitchen was very well equipped, decks had high-end, comfortable furnishings. it was well stocked with quality beach gear. Be aware that this mountaintop retreat is relatively remote and requires a jeep to get to/from and will take you about 10-15 minutes on winding narrow and steep roads to reach popular destinations. Also the MBR on the top level is luxurious, but has a 'window' looking down into the open concept living/kitchen area possibly compromising privacy if you have a big group. we would definitely stay here again or check out other properties this host may have.

Our family of four had a phenomenal stay over Spring Break 2024. The home is lovely, well maintained with all amenities you could ask for. Home is within 20-30 minutes of anywhere you want to go. Highly recommended.

First and foremost, I have been using VRBO for many years and I can tell you that this property owner and their manager are THE most responsive individuals I have ever engaged with. From quickly confirming the reservation, and asking if I had any questions to prompt responses and excellent recommendations they were the best I have ever worked with. The property is AMAZING (but you already know that from the pictures). Besides having excellent service, the little things made a huge difference. Going to the beach? They have everything you need from snorkeling equipment to beach chairs and a beach tent. Planning to cook some meals? Not only is the kitchen spacious, the equipment is top-notch and well-stocked. The property itself is very well maintained and very clean. My final comment is this: traveling, especially with a large family is stressful enough. If you want a stress-free property experience and simply relax and enjoy St. John with your family at a beautiful property, this is the place.

Vela Vista very much met expectations for my family and I. We were 9 adults and one child and had plenty of room to hang out inside and outside as well as dine together. We ate in about half the time and the kitchen had everything we needed plus an outdoor gas grill. We loved the dipping pool and can't forget to mention the view which is amazing!

Vela Vista surpassed all our expectations. We were looking for a house to comfortably accommodate ourselves, our three adult children, son-in-law & 2 teen-aged grandsons for a family vacation we’d been dreaming of for years. The view of Coral Bay is spectacular- and the star gazing at night was phenomenal. The house is light, airy and well-appointed- it was the perfect base of operations for our getaway adventure! We felt the location was perfect, never more than 20-25 minutes to our choice of beaches, restaurants, shopping or sightseeing!!! Katja & Jeff, the property managers, were very attentive & promptly responded to any questions or concerns. Highly recommended!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Evenings out on the deck enjoying the spectacular view over Coral Bay is a must! House was very comfortable and well stocked. Check in and communication was great!
