Situated high on Ajax Peak Road, this open concept with interior stairway villa and private pool is spacious and overlooks Coral Bay, Bordeaux Mountain, and the British Virgin Islands. The villa features breathtaking views, an ideal central location, and all of the amenities for the perfect vacation.
This Villa boasts a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar with stools, and dining table. The attached living area offers an L-shaped couch and television for watching your favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu after a long day at the beach. A private half bath completes the main living area.
Through the kitchen sliders, the pool deck welcomes guests with even more expansive views. Float in the salt water pool, watch the boats come and go from the harbor, grill up fresh caught fish, or simply enjoy the sunrise while sipping coffee from the deck.
This Villa comfortably sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. The first guest bedroom, with queen-sized bed, is located on the same-level as the kitchen, living, and dining room areas. This bedroom has the same sweeping views as from the pool, along with air conditioning, Smart TV, and a full bath with private outdoor shower.
The master bedroom and second guest bedroom are situated on the lower level of the home and accessed via an interior stairway. The master bedroom with King-sized bed, has air conditioning, a Smart TV, and a full-ensuite with indoor shower. The massive slider doors frame the view from the bed - certainly a sight to wake up to in the mornings!
The second guest bedroom, with Queen-sized bed, also has air conditioning, a Smart TV, and a full bathroom with outdoor shower.
Another deck area with lounge furniture is accessible from both the master bedroom and second guest bedroom.
With plenty of outdoor spaces, families or groups of friends can spend time together in one area of the villa or retreat to spending the afternoon alone reading or relaxing on their own.
The Villa is also stocked with plenty of beach gear, including: beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels, and coolers with ice packs.
The location of the Villa is the perfect mix of convenience and tranquility. Less than three minute drive down the mountain leads you to the entrance of the North Shore (Route 20), where the vast majority of the beaches are located. Maho Bay, Francis Bay, the Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins, and endless hiking trails and walking or running areas are all within five minutes.
The town of Coral Bay, with various restaurants, a grocery store, mini mart, and shops is a short 10 minute drive east from the Villa. If you're feeling a night out on the town or Happy Hour drinks with a perfect sunset view, venture the less than 20 minutes into Cruz Bay via the North Shore.

We enjoyed our stay at Eco Vida and hope to be back! The pictures don't do it justice; the space is very large and the outdoor showers in 2 of the bedroom bathrooms are beautiful! The house had everything we needed for the beach and to cook dinners in. The house was very clean and comfortable. Thank you for the nice stay!
The pictures of the house does not do it justice. It is immaculate, comfortable and well-stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes. The bedding is comfortable and the outdoor showers are a treat. Seeing the sunrise over Coral Bay is priceless!
Enjoyed our stay! Eco Vida has an incredible view, very clean and spacious! Amenities were an added bonus with plenty of beach chairs, coolers etc. Definitely will book again!!
Incredible house. Views were spectacular. We stayed during a time when there were widespread power outages in the VI (5 of the 7 days), but we didn’t notice at all. The house is on a Tesla battery system that provides back up power (no noisy generator!). The dryer and stove are gas, so you can still cook and do laundry when the power is out. We didn’t need the air conditioning at all because of the breeze and winds in March. Carley was very communicative each time power went out so that we knew to conserve energy. But it really wasn’t an issue at all. I say all this because I think the power issues in the USVI will continue to be an issue and houses equipped with back up power will be the way to go. The house itself is well equipped with cooking items, a great heated pool, beach chairs, coolers, and pool noodles. If you are a reader, she has all the STJ books and great beach reads! Throughly enjoyed our stay!
Stayed for a week with 2 teenagers. This is a great location for getting to all the north beaches within just a few minutes, especially since we wanted to get going early before the beach parking lots filled up. It is also convenient to Coral Bay. The house was very clean, uncluttered and spacious. In particular we appreciated the cooking supplies, the beach towels, the laundry and the pool. Carley was very helpful and responsive. Great place!
Wonderful property, with everything you need. We had a great time exploring the island, and relaxing with friends. Couldn’t have had a better time. Thank you!
We had a truly incredible time at Eco Vida! The home offered everything we could possibly need. Beautifully decorated with a picture perfect view of Coral Bay, fabulous breezes and a central location (and close to Maho!) made this the perfect home for our family. We’ll be back for sure! Thank you for being a wonderful hostess, Carley!
The pictures of this property don't begin to do it justice. The layout for our group of 6 was fabulous. Having three bedrooms with each having it's own bathroom was awesome. The kitchen has everything any cook could possibly need. We found the entire house to be very spacious and comfortable. There is a ton of space both interior and exterior. And the view is second to none!
Eco Vida was perfection in paradise! The location was easy to access all locations of the island. The view was great! The home was spacious and extremely clean! The owners communicated clearly and were so kind! Lastly, the amenities… lots of extras that made our stay even better. St. John and Eco Vida did not disappoint at all and were so much more than we could have imagined! We would definitely stay at Eco Vida again!
Eco Vida is a simply stunning property, which was perfect for our family of four. The house is even lovelier than the pictures, and Carley had lots of small touches and conveniences to make it a luxurious experience in itself, in addition to a the lovely beaches of St. John. The views and breezes in the patios were fantastic, the kitchen was well stocked for days we preferred eating in and the house had some great beach gear. Also Carley was super- responsive to any questions. I would highly recommend it.
The home was perfect! It’s closer to coral bay then Cruz bay, which we really enjoyed. You can’t beat the view and there are so many great beaches and restaurants close by. The bedrooms are cool and the beds are so comfortable. The house is very well stocked with everything you need and the WiFi worked great. We also really appreciated the beach chairs, noodles, beach towels, etc. We would definitely stay here again. Just as a FYI, but not a complaint at all because we are early risers, but bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep later because 2 out of the 3 bedrooms get very bright early in the morning. Thanks to Carley for being a great host.
We loved this villa!!! The views are amazing!!! We felt lucky to see that view every day. The house was spacious, the balcony was great, the pool was really nice, and the beds were comfortable. It took some getting used to the road and driveway leading to the house. My only complaint is that there was barely enough hot water for 3 quick showers. Otherwise, everything was perfect! Carley was great at communicating. We would definitely return!
Eco Vida is a great place to stay in St John!. The location provides easy access to the north shore beaches, and when you come back from an outing you can enjoy the view and breezes from the pool! We enjoyed hiking, swimming, and snorkeling all over the island from our central home base. The kitchen has everything you need, the bedrooms are cool and comfortable, and the laundry is an added bonus. The check-in process was informative and welcoming - and the owners are friendly and responsive. We will never forget swimming with turtles at Maho Bay, seeing stingrays and octopus at Francis Bay, the gorgeous beach at Trunk Bay, the beautiful coral gardens and colorful fish at Hawksnest and Saltpond, and the breathtaking views from Ram Head.
I echo the sentiments of previous reviewers. This property is in a great location and we preferred this more peaceful side on the island, yet it had easy access to all of the beaches and main hikes on St. John. Carley is a wonderful host with thoughtful suggestions for making your stay the best it can be. The tour with Steve was very helpful. We loved the layout of the house, the cooling breezes, and wonderful views on the large decks. Our children enjoyed the pool in the late afternoons and we all enjoyed time out on the patio every day. The house is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking or packing lunches for the day (lots of coolers, ice packs, ziploc bags, etc.). We enjoyed the games and books as well. Highly recommend this property!
Views for days! I don’t have the words to properly describe the views from this home. It’s almost surreal and you can see the views from almost every room in the house. The house itself was clean, spacious and well laid out. Perfect for spending time relaxing with family. The grill was in excellent condition which is rare in our experience with rental homes. The beach gear was in pristine condition and the plunge pool was refreshing after a day at the beach or for a quick dip in the morning. The kitchen was well stocked and had all the cooking essentials. Beds were super comfortable and linens provided were excellent quality. The beach towels were also a nice touch. I wish I could remember the brand because they repelled sand and water! We can’t wait to return!
I can not say enough good things about Eco Vida. My wife and I stayed for a week with our two children (10 & 7) Everyone had their own room and bathroom which made life easy. The kids enjoyed the amazing pool every day after the beach and even the late evenings. We cooked on the grill 2 nights and the kitchen had everything we needed. Carley the host was beyond helpful even during the booking stages. We kept in contact the entire trip, and she even made restaurant suggestions and tips and tricks to get the best ouf of St. John. The house is so secluded and certainly an adventure getting to it, which we all loved. You definitely need a jeep, and not doable by taxi. The house was meticulously cleaned and met all our expectations and some. Overall the house was a 10 out of 10 and we will be back.
Five stars and two thumbs WAY UP for Eco Vida!
This was our first visit to St. John, and our family loves adventure and exploration and being off the beaten path... If that is you- then you will not go wrong with a stay at this spectacular home.
The host was fantastic and kept us informed with excellent communication each step of the journey.
We packed so much fun into one week...
Maho Bay morning swimming / snorkeling with the turtles, multiple Trunk Bay sunsets with an empty beach, Four wheeling fun to Lameshur Beach, Skinny Legs, Salty Mongoose, Johnny Lime, Day trip to Cruz Bay, Ram Head hike, and so much more!!!
The house was equipped with everything that we needed including beach chairs, towels, packable coolers, an amazing kitchen inside and gas grill outside... and... the most spectacular view that you will ever see!!!
Thank you Eco Vida!!!!
My family and I stayed at Eco Vida for a week in mid-December. As St. Johnians living on the mainland, it was important for us to feel as though we were having an authentic visit at home on St. John while enjoying the conveniences of stateside life. Eco Vida offered us just that.
From initial contact, Carley was kind and responsive. She provided us with valuable information about some of the many ways our island had grown since we'd last been there. The check-in process was smooth and seamless, and Steve provided a courteous and friendly greeting.
The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the views were breathtaking. The pool was a welcomed amenity, and after spending hours of our days at the beach, my kids were happy to spend some of their evenings relaxing in it. The solar panels were very appreciated, as our family members on island lost electricity several times during our week's visits and we had no interruption at the villa. The home comes equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay.
The pictures simply do not do it justice. Do yourself a favor and enjoy your St. John vacation at Eco Vida. It will definitely be our go-to rental when we return home to St. John.
