About this property

Eco Haute - Romantic Cliffside Villa with Ocean Views & Pool

Total privacy and miles from the nearest neighbor, the clothing optional setting is akin to a private island. Sited above the dramatic rocky shoreline, you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. Breezes flow freely through the home, with ceiling fans throughout. Though rarely needed, AC is available with respectful use, as the villa runs entirely on solar power. Furnished in mid century modern style with all you need for a vacation unplugged.

ECO HAUTE features:

Primary BEDROOM with a king bed, organic linens, and endless ocean views—fall asleep to Caribbean breezes and the sound of the sea.

A spa-inspired BATHROOM with a rain shower head and Aesop products.

Second room serves as a YOGA studio or OFFICE, complete with desk, chair, and yoga mats—perfect for mindful movement or creative work.

Open-concept LIVING area with Apple TV, curated books, and games for cozy, low-key evenings.

Fully equipped KITCHEN with breakfast bar, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender—everything you need to feel at home.

Wraparound DECK with panoramic VIEWS, outdoor dining table, loungers, a plunge POOL, and front-row seats to sunrise and sunset. Private steps lead down to your own hidden BEACH.

WASHER | DRYER available for guest use—ideal for longer stays or beach-heavy days.

SUSTAINABLE power systems and Starlink ensure seamless comfort if you need to stay connected—or the freedom to unplug in total seclusion.

Eco Haute offers an experience that’s more than a vacation—it’s a rare kind of escape. Remote. Refined. Intentionally unplugged.

PLEASE NOTE that Eco Haute is located on the remote east end of the island and is the only home in the subdivision—peaceful, private, and intentionally off the beaten path. A rental vehicle is required. Just a 15-minute drive brings you to Coral Bay, where you’ll find local restaurants, shops, and essentials.

Eco Haute was amazing! My husband and I were looking for an unplugged trip with a spectacular view and this did not disappoint. We loved waking up early to the waves, sipping coffee on the back porch and lounging in the sun. The house itself has everything you need (just bring some food) and being up on the cliff means you get a great breeze anytime day or night. The house is very secluded and remote - Elena offered to arrange a meet & greet to lead us to the house - I highly recommend unless you are familiar with the East End. Also, definitely plan to get there during day light hours, the roads are no joke especially at night! For the adventurous at heart looking for a truly one of a kind experience, this is your place! At the end of a trip I always find myself ready to head home but my husband and I both felt truly sad to leave this little slice of paradise. We were planning our return trip before we even left. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

The property was just as pretty as depicted - great location, and very private. We spent most of our time exploring the east end of St John, and Eco Haute was a good base for this. First time at this property, but we will be back!!

12th time on the island and loved this Villa

Property was spectacular and remote. We had a blast driving to and fro and seeing such wonderful views. You can spend all day on the deck just watching the sails and boats and ships go by your front porch. Bring some warm wear to be out on deck at night!

This is the perfect secluded location on the East End of St John. Very private and perfect for couples. Great view of yachts traveling the Sir Francis Drake channel and the BVI's. Bob and Karye's home is perfect for this setting! The home is very new, clean and wonderfully furnished. Yes, will be there again!

Gorgeous views for our honeymoon

Bob and Karye, and Kelly were amazing to work with leading up to our vacation as well as during our stay. As for the property, I am not sure that there is a more beautiful spot to stay on St. John. The views were spectacular. The house was immaculately clean and it had every amenity we needed for our stay from beach chairs/cooler to toiletries. The place actually feels bigger in person than what the photos show. The deck is huge! We Would definitely love to stay here again some day.

3rd trip to Eco

This was our 3rd stay at Eco. We don't plan for it to be our last. Obviously, we love this property and could go on and on about the remote location, the architecture, the views and the owners. Special thanks to the management staff. The house was spotless. Also, they were very quick to respond to an issue that came up during our stay.

Wonderful home, wonderful stay!

My husband and I rented this house for 7 nights for our honeymoon and we have zero regrets! This home is modern, clean, private and enjoyable to stay in. The deck and views are extraordinary. Management was easy to contact and very helpful and being greeted upon arrival was a nice perk. Just one thing to note for future renters: the pathway to the beach below was very steep and very overgrown and requires a sure foot. so if you venture down there, proceed with caution! I would absolutely recommend this rental and I would love to return one day as an anniversary trip!

Bliss

We had a wonderful time at Eco Haute. The wrap-around deck with what seemed like an "infinity edge" view to the ocean was magical. While we enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking most days, we also spent several days not leaving the cottage...Eco Haute became the main draw for us to be at St. John. As other reviewers remarked, the drive up to Eco Haute, particularly the last 5 minutes, was a "heart stopper" at times; I would suggest no "drinking and driving" or driving at night in the dark. We were happy to stay at the cottage, so this did not interfere with our fabulous vacation at Eco Haute. Truly a 5-star experience!

End of the road

St. John’s is a very laid-back quiet island but if Cruz Bay and all the North Shore beaches are just a little too loud and crowded this house will be perfect for you. Be ready to drive a little bit to get anywhere and watch out for the goats and donkeys. This house is the perfect set up for two. You are literally the last house on St. John staring straight at the British Virgin Islands. One suggestion would be not to watch scary movies at night. You are definitely alone down a long dark very mountainous road.

Pictures don't do it justice

My wife and I just spent a week for our honeymoon at this amazing East End property and we were blown away. The views, the maintenance, the owners generosity and timely responses, honestly the best VRBO experience I have ever had. The views can't be captured by the photos, every way you look it is breathtaking. The house itself is in amazing shape with state of the art appliances and an almost fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, pool was very clean and pleasant, landscaping is gorgeous and very well kept up with. The decor is a really nice blend of modern and rustic. Every glass, utensil or cookware/appliance you could ever need are present and in abundance. I would recommend this place to anyone and hope to be back again next summer. John B.

Economy Haute St. John USVI

My wife and I reserved this vacation rental based on the reviews that we had read. This is the most amazing place to relax. It is very private, off the grid which was appealing to us. We had the best of the best, we were welcomed by Leslie who brought us to the house, there was a welcome basket waiting for us, and she walked us through every aspect of the home and the local activities available. The property and home are amazing! The views are second to none. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone that wants to get off the grid, relax, and enjoy the ocean. Kayre, Bob, and Leslie made themselves available to us for any of our needs. This is by far the best vacation and experience we have ever had. Do not be intimidated by the off-grid status of this home. All the amenities and high-end finishes are the same as any other beautiful home. Kayre, Bob, and Leslie, thank you for everything and we will be back. Best regards, Rob and Brooke.

Perfect 30th Anniversary Trip!

Eco Haute is the perfect anniversary getaway! We loved being “off-the-grid” with just the cool ocean breezes and miles of expansive turquoise water views. If you download the Marine Traffic app, you can get information about the various registered sailboats and yachts drifting by which is always fun. The home is perfectly appointed with everything you need to cook in the evenings. We recommend getting back to the house before dark because the roads can be challenging. They aren’t necessarily hard (rent a Jeep), we just preferred to travel by daylight and spend the evenings at home on the deck with a glass of wine and some music. We spent our days hiking, snorkeling, and seeing various sites. Our favorite lunch spot is Aqua Bistro in Coral Bay. The Dolphin grocery is right there as well, so it was easy to grab what we needed for dinner on our way out. This is our third trip to St. John and Eco Haute was by far the best experience yet! Karye and Bob are lovely homeowners and Chris was a great host meeting us at the car ferry so we could follow him to the house and get all the particulars. Thanks again Karye and Bob – you helped make our 30th anniversary very special. See you again soon! Shelly & Rich

East End Saint John Gem

This property far exceeded our expectations for a quiet, Christmas vacation. Communication with owner, Karye, was exceptional. Kelly (property manager) was very easy to communicate with. She met us in Coral Bay and we followed her out to the property, where she did a thorough walk-through. The property was clean, comfortable furnishings, updated kitchen. It has a simple layout with a bonus yoga room that we used to store our bags in. The porch is amazing with unobstructed views of BVI. Have your morning coffee watching the sunrise over BVI and the sailboats. No need for the AC as the breeze is very strong. We hiked down to the beach below a few times, which requires sturdy shoes. Walked along the hilly, desolate roads to get into the property. You'll need a vehicle with good tires to wind your way out to the property. Went to the east end beaches, Haulover, Hansen, Brown Bay (requires a hike with sturdy shoes). Loved Saltwell Beach too. We are frequent visitors to Saint John and decided to split this trip up. We stayed in Cruz Bay to enjoy being close to ferry, north end beaches/hikes, walk to restaurants/shopping. Then move out to the countryside for some quiet and evenings at the house. Thank you Karye and Bob for building this amazing property for others to enjoy.

The perfect hideaway

Not sure there are enough superlatives in the English language to adequately describe this gem. It had all the privacy and serenity that we were looking for as a base for our explorations of the island. Everyone, from Chris the property manager to Bob the owner, were responsive to any questions we had and very quick to reply to a text. Waking each morning to the sun rising over Peter Island, we’d sit on the deck enjoying the tropical breezes and contemplate our day’s adventures. Whether it was a hike to a remote beach, or just snorkeling from the rocky shore below, it was hard to leave that deck and the view. And when we did leave, we just couldn’t wait to get back to our private hideaway and chill. Evenings on the deck under the stars with a cold drink in hand were perfect, with not a noise or light to disturb the setting. The property was fully equipped, with every convenience we could want. This wasn’t the best week to schedule on our part due to many of the eating establishments in Coral Bay being closed for their off-season break, but we’ll remember that next time and plan accordingly. But even then the kitchen and grill were so handy that we ended up grilling at home more nights than not. Provisions were good in Coral Bay, with 2 stores supplying whatever we needed. Very tough to write this review since that means we have to pack up and leave. But we’re convinced that this is our new go-to vacation spot and we’ll return as often as possible. Thanks again Karye and Bob for sharing this wonderful property with us. It couldn’t have been a better week and you will hear from us again soon.

Eco Haute did not disappoint

This is an amazing property with gorgeous views off the expansive deck. Very clean, modern, and everything you need to prep in the kitchen is there for you. One thing that was unpleasant for us was the wind out on the deck. We love to sit outside but it was not very enjoyable to do so because the force of the wind was so strong. This is no fault of the home itself, though, so we don’t fault the home or owners for this! On the plus side, you never lack wind flowing through the house at night to keep bugs away! Another thing that was uncomfortable for us was the bed. It may be a very nice mattress (I have no idea) but it was so soft that I woke up with my back hurting the first night. We ended up sleeping on the Murphy bed (full size) or the couch each night afterwards. Another thing to note-and they are accurate in the description- it is extremely remote. You are definitely on the far end of the island with no one around. If you want privacy, you’ve got it! We found that we just had to plan our day around the location-meaning we took clothes and other shoes with us if we wanted to do more than one activity during the day. All in all, we would recommend this property as it is beautiful. The owners and Chris the property manager took great care of us and were very attentive whenever we had a concern or question. If you want a trip where you have complete privacy and beauty all around, this is your place!

Perfect location to celebrate our 20th!

If you are looking for a place that is truly off the beaten path, Eco Haute is it! We were first drawn to the location while we were looking for a remote house to unplug from our 3 teenagers and basically life in general. The pictures were amazing, but as these things usually are, the real thing was even better than expected. There are NO neighbors and as best I could tell, the closest house was a half mile or so away. The drive time to Cruz Bay (about 40 minutes) is an easy trade off for what Eco Haute provides in isolation and beauty. The views to the east up the Drake Channel provide 200 degree plus open water views of Tortola, Norman island, Peter Island, and Virgin Gorda in the distance. We started our 8 day visit on a night where we were welcomed by a rising Full over Virgin Gorda that lit up the channel like it was the middle of the day. The drive from East End road for the last 5-8 minutes of the drive is part of the adventure. The first time is eye nopening, but its really no more intimidating than any other road on the island. Easily done with our rented jeep and each turn provided amazing views. Hansen and Haulover are about 10 minutes from the villa. We did a balance of eat-in and eat-out and found the kitchen was perfect for two to be creative. We picked up most of our food at Calabash Market in Coral Bay or Starfish Market if we were near Cruz Bay earlier in the day. A lot here, but we truly loved the location and just returned home to a 24 degree morning :-)

Natural beauty & total privacy

We just stayed at the Eco Haute for a week for our 20th anniversary, and it was exactly what we were looking for when we booked. You will share the surroundings with goats and donkeys and hermit crabs and pelicans, but no other people. It's a short drive to Coral Bay for provisions, and to a multitude of beautiful bays for snorkeling, which we had a blast doing. Can't recommend the place enough.

Best F**ing Vacation Ever!

The photos are accurate, but to understand you really have to go experience Eco Haute. What makes this home unique is total privacy and immersion in St. John's natural surroundings while being spoiled with first class attention to comfort and amenities. Kelly did an outstanding job supporting us during our stay, including guiding us in on the first day. A little heart pounding the first time, but the roads are well maintained and we only needed to share the lane with adorable Billy goat families. We will remember this trip to St. John with joy, peace and thankfulness.
