HEAVENLY VIEWS and PRIVATE POOL!!

PERFECT FOR COUPLES CELEBRATING HONEYMOONS, ANNIVERSARIES AND BIRTHDAYS!

Open your gate to breathtaking views of Sir Francis Drake Channel, the Caribbean and the luscious valley of Coral Bay. Perfect for honeymooners or couples looking for an amazing island experience. This NEW cottage is built for your comfort and will leave you with sweet memories for a lifetime. Set among beautiful flowers, palms and bay trees, this one-bedroom cottage includes a king-size bed situated to wake up and enjoy breathtaking sunrises. The bedroom includes a small sitting area and television. Choose to take a shower in your roomy walk-in shower or enjoy the view from your private outdoor shower.

IMPORTANT: Villa Celeste Vista has solar power along with two Tesla batteries for back-up power!

Relax in your own private pool, dine alfresco or sit in comfortable outdoor seating as you watch sailboats travel through the British Virgin Islands. You'll find everything you need in a large bathroom with two vanities, a kitchenette equipped with a stove, fridge and microwave and a laundry room with a washer & dryer. Your large bedroom includes a sitting area with AC, a SmartTV (no live television), and ROKU, allowing you to access your favorite streaming app. Your "living room" is outside under the porch so you can enjoy the amazing views.

Everything you need for your beach days, is supplied. You'll find beach towels, beach chairs, backpack and coolers.

You'll enjoy laid-back Coral Bay where you'll experience island life with quaint gift shops, live music, and incredible restaurants. AND, only 10 minutes away you'll find the legendary white powder beaches of the North Shore. For the more adventurous, head to the South Shore beaches and hiking trails for a completely different experience. And, your view includes Hurricane Hole, a Coral Reef National Monument, the only habitat of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere.

Note: there is another 2-bedroom villa on the same property in which you'll share the driveway and parking area but Villa Celeste Vista is completely private with a wall, gate and fencing. The other villa is down the hill (reachable by stairs) but not directly under the cottage. The other Villa is also available for rent and is called Villa Celeste Paradis; property #2278755. Please note that it's possible you will hear guests from the other villas in the neighborhood as throughout the Coral Bay Valley as it acts like an amphitheater. Also known to Coral Bay is how quiet it becomes after 10pm.

Wonderful trip

This cottage is very private, everything worked well, beautiful finishes and breath taking views. The outdoor area is huge with a cable railing system that lends to sitting back and taking in all of coral bay and most of the B.V.I.s.

Slice of heaven

This is a beautiful, well-maintained property with a gorgeous view that was perfect for a quiet and isolated vacation during a pandemic. It is quite a steep drive up the hill so although we made do with a RAV4, I would suggest a jeep might be better for maneuvering. Property manager was super responsive - snorkeling and boat trip with Joy were great add-ons. Lovely place, highly recommend it.

A Lovely One Bedroom

This villa is perfect if you're looking for a quiet getaway. The owner has many ammenities onsite (like coolers, hats, sunblock, beach towels, etc.) that help you to save money and are very convenient! Every morning you wake up to bird song and gorgeous views of the bay below and the outdoor shower is perfect for a post hike/beach refresh. Joy is truly great if you have any hiccups in your stay and is very responsive. I can't recommend this villa enough!

Spectacular View!

This property was just as described, with stunningly beautiful views and a great deal of quiet and privacy. It was well-equipped and provided a spacious bathroom. My only suggestion would be another light source in the main room as it was a little dim at night for our older eyes. That being said, it was so peaceful and relaxing that we had to make ourselves leave each day for the various beaches!

AMAZING VIEWS FROM VILLA CELESTE

As the title suggests the view from the Villa is stunning. The property itself is very well appointed - the bedroom/living area is pleasant and airy, there is an excellent bathroom with large walk in shower and separate large laundry/storage area. The cosy kitchen is very well equipped and accommodated our dining in when it was too windy to sit out. The vast patio area has an excellent and well maintained bbq and plenty of quality furniture. Access to the Villa with its fabulous position requires a jeep or similar (Lois made this clear to us) as the approach road is very steep. Walking to and from Coral Bay is not an option. As keen walkers, the remoteness did not suit us as much as it will undoubtedly suit others. Having said that, we’re pleased we rented Villa Celeste, had a wonderful time and shall return to St John.

Perfect

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Celeste last week. This is the perfect property for couples looking to stay in the Coral Bay area. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on St. John. One of the best perks of staying here is the property manager Joy. Joy was a tremendous resource with dining, nightlife, and snorkeling recommendations. She even sourced some local lobster that we grilled at the villa. It was fantastic. Thanks Joy! This is an outstanding property owned/managed by people who want you to have the best experience while you're there.

Paradise!

This villa was fantastic. Arguably the best views on the entire island! Short drive to Maho beach (sea turtles), Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay. All of the beaches were stunning and not crowded! Convenient grocery store at the bottom of the hill with live music at most of the restaurants down in Coral Bay. We used Joy as our island concierge and she was knowledgeable and kind! Her personal touches to the property were so thoughtful. She guided us on where to eat, and what to see and do. She was also a great help navigating the steep driveway to the villa our first night too! We went out on their Sailboat, Harmony, and relaxed, snorkeled Salt Pond Beach and Hurricane Hole. Such a wonderful stay. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Perfect dream villa

My fiancée and I came to St john to get married and enjoy our honeymoon. The Villa was absolutely perfect. It was our home away from home and felt so comfortable. We felt very safe. We had the pleasure of meeting Lois and Ted who were so warm and inviting. We also took advantage of Joy's meet and greet and she is amazing. Provided us with so many great tips which made our trip smooth and fun. It was like having family away from home. The villa has everything you could need. We used the coffee maker, beach chair, cooler with ice packs, and patio chairs the most. The views and wildlife (goats, humming birds, iguanas) were so fun to observe while sitting on the patio. We had a blast at Miss Lucys Thursday night for open mic. We will be back for sure! THANK YOU LOIS, TED AND JOY for your kindness and hard work that allows us to enjoy this slice of heaven.

Anniversary Trip

This property is gorgeous! The views are even better in person than in the pictures. The pool and outdoor shower are the perfect touch for a tropical getaway. We traveled to the island a few days after it opened from being locked down for COVID, and Lois was so great to communicate with me all of the extra details that needed to be considered when traveling during a pandemic. While on the island Joy was so helpful. We did not have her meet us when we arrived, but I am sure it would have made the initial drive to the cottage much less stressful...the roads are narrow, windy, and steep AND you drive on the left side with a left sided drivers seat...but once you make the first trip to the cottage it isn’t nearly as intimidating for subsequent trips. I highly recommend staying at the cottage. It’s beautiful, secluded, clean, comfortable, with top of the line hosts. Thank you for a very wonderful anniversary trip!

Incredible!

My husband and I came to Villa Celeste for our Honeymoon and it truly was the most amazing vacation we could of ever imagined. From waking up every morning and seeing the sunrise from bed to sitting in the chaise lounges on the patio every second was nothing short of amazing. The villa is the perfect distance to the town of Coral Bay (which we are SO glad we chose to stay in Coral Bay!). We had so much fun going to Johnny Lime and playing Bingo, taking the shuttle boat to Lime Out, music at the Salty Mongoose and more! Joy (house manager) and Lois (owner) are unbelievably wonderful! The driveway is steep so Joy met us for the Meet and Greet service which we highly recommend. She went through everything going on downtown for the week and really helped us navigate our first trip up to the villa. Lois and her husband were two of the sweetest people and we love that we got the chance to meet and chat with them! If you are thinking about booking Villa Celeste just do it!! It truly is a little slice of heaven! We will surely be back!

Amazing views on the other side of the island

This was our first time staying in the Coral Bay area. The unit was comfortable and just as described, with everything you need for an enjoyable time in paradise. But it is the view that makes this villa so special. Each day begins with a beautiful sunrise over multiple bays, and we were fortunate to have a few evenings to watch the just as remarkable rise of a full moon. The outdoor space was arranged to take full benefit of the view, whether sitting in the lounge chairs, eating in the deck or rocking in the covered porch. In March, we found the pool a little to cool for our enjoyment, but is probably just right in the summer months. Coral Bay offers a very different experience of St. John. It’s much less busy that Cruz Bay and feels like a quaint seaside village. Of course that also means that shopping and eating options are limited — and their hours are sporadic. The location offers an invitation to enjoy the East End of the island — like the tranquil Hansen Bay beach — while still providing good access to the North Shore beaches.
