About this property

Experience the charm of Le Lapin – a family-friendly retreat featuring stunning dual views, a refreshing pool, and comfortable air conditioning. Perfect for unforgettable moments with loved ones!

DESCRIPTION: Welcome to Le Lapin, an enchanting 4 bedroom, 4 bath private villa that perfectly blends comfort and style with stunning natural beauty. With a solar-heated pool and a backup generator, this exceptional property is designed to be a serene haven for vacationers. Unlike many homes on St. John, Le Lapin offers a cohesive living space where you can easily transition from the spacious great room to the inviting bedrooms. Whether you’re traveling with family or embarking on a romantic getaway, this villa is an ideal retreat.

As you arrive, ascend a few steps to discover the gated pool area, complete with ample parking for your convenience. The expansive 34 ft x 12 ft pool invites you to soak up the sun on comfortable lounge chairs or unwind in the shaded hammock beneath the pergola. Located on the tranquil west side of the villa, the pool area basks in the sun from dawn until dusk, ensuring you have the perfect backdrop for relaxation.

The villa's main level showcases an open-concept design that encompasses the kitchen, living, and dining areas, complemented by two attractively appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms. An interior staircase leads you to the upper level, where both master suites provide privacy and luxury. Each bedroom offers breathtaking views of Hart Bay and features air conditioning along with screened sliding glass doors that open to unique wraparound decks and inviting covered porches.

One of the most captivating aspects of Le Lapin is its dual perspectives. The living room opens to an incredible panorama of Hart Bay and the south side of St. John, allowing you to hear the gentle waves crashing below. Meanwhile, the kitchen and poolside areas present enchanting westerly views, perfect for watching vibrant sunsets and admiring the twinkling lights of St. Thomas in the evening sky.

LOCATION: Le Lapin is ideally situated on a picturesque acre in the Hart Bay/Rendezvous Bay region, perched atop the highest hill separating Hart Bay and Chocolate Hole. This peaceful location treats you to breathtaking 300-degree views, featuring stunning sunrises and sunsets. You'll adore the mesmerizing sights of Hart Bay beach, enhanced by the soothing sounds of the surf rolling onto the shore. Experience serenity at its finest in one of the highest elevated homes in the area, where panoramic views embrace Hart Bay, Rendezvous Bay, the south shore of St. John, Chocolate Hole, Pillsbury Sound, and St. Thomas. With just an 8-10 minute drive to the charming town of Cruz Bay, adventure lies just around the corner. Here, you can explore a variety of exquisite dining options and unique boutique shops, offering everything from tantalizing Caribbean spices to stunning artwork. No matter your budget, every find will serve as a cherished reminder of your unforgettable time at Le Lapin and the beautiful island of St. John.

LIVING & DINING: The open and airy living area at Le Lapin is designed to be warm and welcoming, capturing panoramic views through sliding glass doors. Imagine curling up in comfortable furniture while enjoying quality time with loved ones, away from the bustle of daily life. The living room is equipped with a smart TV, allowing you to stream your favorite shows and create lasting memories together.

Dining at Le Lapin is a pleasure, with a stunning teak table seating 6-8 guests nestled between the living room and kitchen. For a more al fresco experience, step outside to the covered deck, where an exterior dining table accommodates an additional 6-8 guests, all while overlooking the pool and the magnificent views across to St. Thomas.

KITCHEN: The well-equipped kitchen marries practicality with granite countertops and rich mahogany cabinets. It comes fully equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and both drip and K-cup coffee makers. A four-burner stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, comprehensive dinnerware, cookware, and utensils are all at your disposal.

Very satisfied.

Our 2 family group of 8 had a great stay here. Beautiful pool area and views, very private, nicely laid out interior was better than it appeared in the photos. Had an issue with water pressure that was quickly addressed- very responsive and efficient communication. Easy 10min drive to cruz bay. The road leading up to the property is steep but one quickly gets used to it. Having a jeep/4wd recommended. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous.

Le Lapin is gorgeous-beautiful house, stunning views, great pool, well appointed kitchen. 4 en suite bedrooms each with an east-facing deck. The drive up the hill is not for the faint of heart! We had other friends in another house nearby & visited many snorkeling spots. We were here during Covid, so the privacy was great. If you want to be close to or be able to walk to town, this is not the house for you. If that’s not important, I highly recommend.

Great family vacation home

Our last minute booking of Le Lapin was made easy by the property management company. So responsive and helpful. This villa is perfect for families with young children because of the interior access to the bedrooms. Great layout for our family of five (we could have easily brought the grandparents too - plenty of space). Gorgeous views from wrap around porch. We would definitely stay here again.

MOST RELAXING VACATION

If you are looking for a villa with spectacular views (sunsets) large pool/deck area where you and your traveling friends can sit and relax all day and into the evening without leaving the villa, Le Lapin is perfect for you. Spacious and clean, we grilled every night and sat on the deck enjoying the sunsets, peace and tranquility. We will book our next trip back to Le Lapin soon.

Love this villa!

Love the layout and location of this well-maintained villa. It is the perfect choice for families or, as was our case, four good friends getting away from work and a Northern New England winter. The views from this hilltop villa are amazing! We enjoyed our morning coffee by the pool and the comfort of the evening breezes. Just booked our "second annual" getaway at Le Lapin....can't wait!!

Perfect!

I lived in the Virgin Islands in my younger days and have returned on several occasions, but never have I found more perfect accommodations. The house is lovely, it's well maintained and has a great layout, but beyond that, it is perfectly situated. It sits atop a hill between two bays, you can look out off the patio area towards St. Thomas (stunning in the evening), or see all of Rendezvous bay down the backside of the island from the rear deck. I was so pleasantly surprised when we first pulled up, the house looks better in person than pictures...well appointed, fresh linens, short trip to town....I cant say enough. I will be back.

Astounding Views! Quiet!

My wife and I have been traveling to St John for over 10 years and Le Lapin II blew us right out of the water! We have stayed at the Westin, B&Bs, condos and started staying in villas once the children were older. We have 2 almost teenagers who thoroughly enjoyed the pool (especially the hammock). My wife and I spent most mornings sipping on coffee just watching the views. The kitchen was equipped with pots and pans, silverware and dishes and the bedrooms provided linens. There are glimpses of sunrises and a nice sunset which was the first time we have stayed at a villa that offered both. Though all bedrooms had a nice view, my wife and I stayed in one of the bedrooms upstairs and deemed it the best bedroom view of the house. The management company provided us with beach towels and chairs which came in handy! My family rarely returns to the same house twice, and we have already started our planning to stay at Le Lapin II next year!
