About this property
Arc du Soleil | Sunset Views | Pool | Backup power
Summary:
Arc du Soleil was designed for guests to fully experience outdoor living on St. John, capturing the true essence of the Caribbean lifestyle.
The villa embraces its natural surroundings, allowing the tropical environment to take center stage throughout your stay. With its open-air design, the lines between indoor and outdoor living fade, creating a seamless and immersive island experience.
This is a place to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with nature in a way that is uniquely St. John.
The Space:
Experience true Caribbean open-air living, highlighted by magnificent native stone arches that frame a picture-perfect view of the Caribbean Sea. From dramatic sunsets to unforgettable stargazing, the setting becomes the centerpiece of your stay.
The villa features polished concrete floors, a spacious modern gourmet kitchen, and a thoughtfully designed primary bathroom with dual vanities and a soaking tub, ideal for unwinding after a day on the island.
The primary suite offers a Tempur-Pedic king bed and an en-suite bathroom with soaking tub. Two additional guest bedrooms each include en-suite baths. One is located on the main level with a Tempur-Pedic king bed, while the lower-level bedroom, located below the main house with a separate entrance, features two twin beds that can be converted into a king, offering flexible accommodations for families or groups.
Guest Access:
BOOKVI will arrange for a personal greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a brief tour, answer any questions, and share helpful island insights.
Check-in is tailored to your group size, arrival time, and familiarity with the island to ensure a smooth and welcoming arrival.
The Neighborhood:
With spacious decks and a large saltwater pool, which is gentler on your eyes, skin, and the environment, the villa offers the perfect vantage point to take in the views. Enjoy sweeping panoramas of Great Cruz Bay Harbor, across Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas, and out to the surrounding islands and cays, all set against endless Caribbean sunsets.
On especially clear days, you may even spot Vieques and the distant mountains of Puerto Rico on the horizon.
This beautifully landscaped island home, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, is just minutes from Cruz Bay’s shops, restaurants, and beach bars, and a short drive to the North Shore’s renowned beaches.
Beach Essentials: Beach towels, beach chairs, a beach tent, and coolers are provided. Snorkel gear, umbrellas, and other beach equipment are not included and can be rented locally if desired.

This was an amazing property. The view is magical and does a great job of capturing that island feel. The stocked bar was a very nice touch. We will be back!

Thank you for your 5-star rating. We’re glad the property delivered an amazing stay and that the magical view captured that island feel. It’s great the stocked bar was a nice touch. We look forward to welcoming you back to Book VI.
This property is great! The open air concept was new for us and we found we really enjoyed it. It’s in a very quiet and private neighborhood close to town. The management company is responsive and communicates well. The description is on point. We will stay here again.

This place was incredible.. the views, the space, the hosts. All of it was perfect. We planned to get married elsewhere, but rain threw us a major curveball and we ended up doing it right there at the villa. No filters needed! The BookVI team was top-tier as well. Nothing short of 5 stars from us.

This property is as advertised and a beautiful spot on St John. Amenities are plenty and great location. The view is truly amazing. Brandon and crew were so helpful. Loved our stay
We absolutely loved our stay at Arc du Soleil! The house was very nice and beautifully appointed. It had all of the amenities needed for cooking and going to the beach . The pool was gorgeous and the views were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Loved returning to the island and to Arc Du Soleil. So relaxing! A perfect balance of stunning aesthetics and comfortable living. Being able to spend all day outside is so fantastic! Thank you again for a lovely stay.

Thanks for staying with us and we are happy that you loved your stay. We hope to see you all again next year!
Our family met at this beautiful villa for an amazing week on St John. The home has everything you need from beach chairs to coolers to every possible kitchen appliance you may need. The pool is perfect and the beds are ultra comfy. We will definitely be returning!
We loved the pool, the comfy nooks everywhere, and the cool and dark bedrooms. The kitchen was great, and we played darts and games around the bar until the wee hours, and felt total privacy. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay at Arc du Soleil. The property was magnificent. Super clean, kitchen was well stocked for cooking and beds were very comfortable. The living room and kitchen were open air and bedrooms were air conditioned, temps were comfortable in both areas. The views were some of the best we have ever had. The team was very responsive if we needed anything. I would love to stay here again if back in St. John.

This property proved to be the perfect spot for our family to unwind, cherish the outdoors and bask in the amazing wonders of St John. Having stayed here I am not sure we could stay anywhere else on the island! Thank you!!!
This villa exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was clean and comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious, with comfortable beds and air-conditioning. We loved spending time in the pool enjoying the gorgeous view! The hosts were so helpful - we appreciated the prompt responses to our questions and requests. We highly recommend a stay at the Arc!

We absolutely loved our stay at Arc Du Soleil! It is a beautiful property with breath-taking views, the most refreshing pool, a well stocked kitchen, and everything you could possibly need while you're on vacation, like coolers, towels, chairs, etc. There are so many spectacular beaches to explore on the Island of St. John, but renting a house like this makes it difficult to ever want to leave! We can't wait to come back!

We totally enjoyed the house, it was perfect for our group of 6. The pool was awesome, the view was magnificent. Unfortunately we took the wrong roads up to the house the 1st time, the switchbacks are killers...I would avoid at all cost.. there are 2 ways up...price you pay for that view!!!
This is a beautiful and unique property! The outdoor living was super cool. We love being outside and the vibe here was awesome. The mosquitoes were a slight issue but easily kept at bay with bug spray.
The kitchen was very well appointed and included most condiments and spices you would need.
Just a fabulous property!

Thank you for the feedback and we will work with pest control to minimize the mosquito issue the best that we can. It is definitely a unique outdoor experience at Arc Du Soleil. We hope to see you again in the future! Thank you for taking the time to review us! -BOOKVI Team
Could not recommend this home any more! Everything was spotless and exactly as listed on VRBO, if not better. Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, I could go on and on. The managing team was amazing and responded immediately to any concerns. We will definitely be back!
Our visit to St. John and our stay at Arc du Soleil could not have been more perfect. Brandon and the entire BookVI team did a fantastic job preparing the villa, meeting us at the ferry and welcoming us to the home, and assisting with any questions we had while on the island. We’ve stayed in a dozen villas on St. John, and this experience and villa are hands down the best we’ve had. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you all for making our week unforgettable!
We had a lovely two week vacation at Arc du Soleil. All the people we interacted with through the process of booking, to arriving, to helping me coordinate experiences were kind, generous with their time, and helpful. We were stunned by the views and so appreciative of the opportunity to stay here while enjoying St. John and the surrounding US and British Virgin Islands. Both Brandons and Ashley were so kind. Truly one of our best trips. Thank you.
Immaculately appointed villa with everything you could want- all quality furnishings & decor- just like you would do yourself. Great Chefs kitchen, fantastic master bedroom/bath, quality white linens/towels. Several Stocked beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear & noodles. They thought of things I didn't consider-loved the place! Bring bug repellent during the Fall although they do have a bunch of bug zappers-. Highly recommend!! Gorgeous sunsets & the pool & bar area was amazing- Like our own resort-had several fun days enjoying the pool plus lived on ur beach day!!

Perfect stay in every way. communication with the Villa "team" was almost instant before and during our stay. had an issue with water pressure and someone was there and fixed it within 15 minutes after I texted the 'team'. 5 coolers, 6 beach chairs, pool and beach toys. overstocked kitchen. huge place. I think I counted over 30 places to sit and that didn't include the steps to the pool. stop looking and just book this.
