About this property

Arc du Soleil | Sunset Views | Pool | Generator

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.



Getting Around:

BOOKVI highly recommends renting a four-wheel drive vehicle to comfortably navigate St. John’s terrain.



We are happy to provide a list of trusted local rental companies, and we also offer a limited selection of villa vehicles for guest use, subject to availability.



Current villa vehicle options may include:

• New Toyota Land Cruiser, full-time four-wheel drive, 5 passenger

• Lexus GX, full-time four-wheel drive, 6 passenger

• Jeep Wrangler Islander, 4-door, four-wheel drive, 5 passenger

Other Things to Note:

To finalize your reservation, all guests will receive a rental agreement for signature.



Once your flights are booked, please share your arrival details so we can coordinate a smooth check-in experience.

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.

Magical view

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.

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!

This is a beautiful and unique property! The outdoor living was super cool. We love being outside and the vibe here was awesome.

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!!
