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.

Donald (and family), I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how appreciative we are for the hospitality you showed us over the weekend. You and your family really made the trip easy and relaxing for our whole crew. I wish you the best of luck during your travels overseas later this year and hope to see you again down at the Beach Villa some day soon. Regards, -Fred

Hi Just wanted to say thanks for contributing to another great STJ vacation for us! Your jeeps are the best on the island and your customer service is outstanding. We loved the Beach Villa and hope to stay there or at the estate again- for a longer period of time next summer :-). We always come in the slow summer season(Texas was a scorching 104 when we returned) so please keep us in mind. Also, please thank Donald for the extra jeep our last night- it made catching that 6 am ferry much easier! Have a great rest of the summer and we will look to see you next summer! Sincerely, Janet & David

Hi from Atlanta, We wanted to drop a note to let you know how very much we enjoyed our stay at Beach Villa. Your home was not only beautiful but also very comfortable and the grounds were like our own private garden. The good people who help you maintain the house were a pleasure to deal with and Frank did a great job of getting our DVD problem resolved the same day. I would also like to give a very special thank you to the kind lady who services and cleans the home. Her thoughtful and conscientious act of notifying us about my earrings was truly appreciated. I received them in the mail just a few days later cleaner than ever. We will continue to promote staying at your homes to our friends and acquaintances and hope to return soon. Sincerely, Jerel & Debby

Hi Donald, Thank you so much for our family’s wonderful stay this past week at the Beach Villa. It was absolutely wonderful. The kids loved the pool & tub, and I was wowed by the gorgeous plantings. You and Deborah have made it a very beautiful and special place. I’m sorry that I didn’t get a chance to say thank you and goodbye on the morning that we left for home, though I’m sure you’re more than familiar with the load up the family scramble. Best of luck with everything, and thanks for a very lovely time! Peace, Dave
