Honeymoon/Romantic Private Suite with Ocean View & Pool; Over 150 5 Star Reviews
Little Palm Vista Guest Suite, located in the garden level of a quaint island stone cottage, is the perfect romantic getaway. Most of our guests are honeymooners or couples celebrating their anniversary. Situated high a top a hill that borders the National Park, it has spectacular panoramic views of the Caribbean. For those who desire a more secluded location with luxurious furnishings, yet more economical than an island resort hotel room.
Cooking is a breeze with everything you need to cook a full meal. The interior kitchenette includes a large fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and blender. While the outside grill also has a side burner, so its just like cooking on a stovetop, perfect for preparing breakfast, or sautéing your favorite dish. Plus, all the cooking & eating utensils, dishware & pots/pans are provided.
The villa is equipped with Solar panels & Tesla power walls to provide electricity during power outages.
You can book with confidence knowing that past guests have given Little Palm Vista Guest Suite over 150 Five Star Reviews!!!

The impeccably furnished interior boasts a King Size poster bed with a comfortable pillow top mattress. The room has a sitting area with snakeskin mosaic tile table and 2 chairs. The over-sized sliding glass doors open to the ocean view and a private coral tiled deck with a sun awning to keep you comfortable. 2 additional French doors open to a private covered porch and patio.
The luxury bath with custom cabinetry contains glistening white Carrera marble. The large shower with glass tile accents features an ocean view window and is big enough for two.
The Guest Suite has its own separate staircase and entry, with its own private covered porch, balcony and patio. Little Palm is situated in a quiet neighborhood.
A beautiful iridescent glass tiled pool with a bench allows you to relax while enjoying the panoramic ocean view...a wonderful spot to enjoy the sunset and cocktail after the beach. (See pool details under amenities.) Little Palm's guest suite is the perfect place to pamper yourself and your mate for a wonderful Caribbean vacation you will never forget!
The suite is cleaned prior to your arrival. Guests staying longer than a 7 night stay can pay for an additional mid-stay cleaning is they so desire. This should be arranged in advance.
No smoking is permitted on the premises. A rental car will be required for your stay; 2 door jeep is recommended. (You will probably not use the 4WD, but Jeep type vehicles sit higher off the ground, making them better for St John roads.) The roads are all paved from the ferry to your flat parking space. The owner is not responsible for any booking and or computer errors made by VRBO.

Great property for couples. Beautiful view. This property has solar and Tesla backup batteries! Very important for the STJ outages. Thanks for a great week Michael!
This is a beautiful place! The views and landscaping are gorgeous. It's quiet and feels away from it all. It was nice returning here after being out and about during the day, then waking up and enjoying the beauty each morning. I miss it already. The host is welcoming, friendly, personable, and helpful. I highly recommend staying here. It's exactly as pictured but the view/vibe is even better in person .
The view was truly amazing. Better than the pics.Nice balcony and pool Michael was a great host. Always available to answer any questions and gave great suggestions
Our stay at Little Palm Vista was a wonderful experience. The owner has created a beautifulescape to paradise and has thought of everything to make your vacation memorable. The view was mesmerizing…panorama view of Fish Bay from the veranda. The perfect spot for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Lounging in the pool after a day at the beach was such an extra bonus. We adjusted quickly to the windy roads but that is just part of this very special place. Our Palm vista binder was invaluable for restaurant and beach information. Be sure to use it. We’ll be toasting to you Michael every time we drink from our Palm Vista tumblers.

Thank you for your review. It's very rewarding when Guests show their appreciation. Especially for first timers to St John, I do my best to make your travel experience easy & stay wonderful. Paradise awaits!
Michael's cottage was perfect for our 20th anniversary trip to St. John. The unit is well equipped and centrally located to all the island has to offer. We would stay here again or at one of Michael's other properties if we brought the whole family.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Little Palm Vista. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this property is something special. The views are hands down some of the best on the island with stunning sunrises to start the day and unforgettable sunsets every evening. Sitting on the pool bench watching the sun go down was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip.The amenities were excellent, especially the pool area, which we found ourselves enjoying daily. The villa was comfortable, well-appointed, and truly felt like a peaceful retreat.Mike was an outstanding host — friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. He made sure we had everything we needed and was always happy to offer recommendations and assistance.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend Little Palm Vista to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay.

Thanks for the very detailed & positive review,,,, makes my efforts worthwhile. See you next year!
My wife and I came to St. John for our honeymoon and the stay was way better than expected! The communication and check in was a breeze and once we got there, the views were breathtaking! We felt the location was perfect as we were a short drive to everything but also felt like we were out of the hustle and bustle of town. The amenities and villa was better than advetised and it was truly the best trip and stay we could have asked for! We will definitely be coming back!
It was a great place for the 2 of us,the view was spectacular, the drive was interesting and fun, it was a great place to stay, once we got tired of the salt and sand the pool was a great place to relax and it was private. The host was very helpful and accommodating
Chose the Palm Vista for our honeymoon and were not disappointed! The communication was first class, the view was incredible, overall a wonderful stay, would highly recommend!
Incredible experience all the way around. From booking to checkout, the communication was impeccable. The property is truly like spending a moment in tropical paradise.
We’ve stayed at this property numerous times over the years. The view and privacy are phenomenal. For two who spend their days at the beaches & evenings in town, this is perfect.
The property was lovely and exactly as described. It had all the amenities needed for a romantic getaway. My husband loved the pool & large shower.
We would stay here again in a minute.
This is our 2nd stay here & we absolutely love it here! Loved the peace & quiet. A great location! Close to everything. The view is just breathtaking.We will be back! Thanks for having us.
Michael was the perfect host and his villa was immaculate. We woke up to a spectacular view and fell asleep to the star studded sky. I cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.
Little Palm is the best private villa for a couple wanting to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the views of St. John. The room is spacious, and the bathroom is large. The bed was comfy, and the views are amazing. We loved having our own private pool! It was an amazing vacation!
We can't say enough how much we loved our recent vacation in St.John. It is the most beautiful beach/area we have ever traveled to. The whole process was seamless. The villa was perfect for the two of us. It was clean and had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back!!
We loved our stay at Palm Vista! The owner, Michael, communicated very well with us to help us plan for our time and make it as stress-free as possible. The suite was very comfortable for two and has an amazing view. Would highly recommend it!
We loved the balcolny the most! Coffee in the morning and a drink at night. So fun to watch the boats and the water. The room was perfect for us. We appriciated the use of beach chairs and pool noodles. Michael was super kind and helpful. We would definately come back!
We had a great time staying at the Little Palm Vista for our 10th anniversary trip. The view was phenomenal from the balcony and we enjoyed use of the pool and grill. The guest suite was more than enough space for the two of us, and the bed was very comfortable. Michael provided all the details we needed well ahead of the trip to make sure our travel went as smoothly as possible. Looking forward to a trip back in the future!
We enjoyed an amazing week at Little Palm Vista Guest Suite. The room is clean, spacious, comfortable and has everything we needed for our week. Michael has thought of everything! The view is absolutely spellbinding - and the pool is a great spot for viewing. We definitely would rent again!

About the host
Hosted by Michael Krienik
Hi, my name is Michael Krienik and I invite you to share the wonderful paradise of St John. I first discovered St John 40 years ago via a cruise to St Thomas with a short snorkel junket to Trunk Bay Beach in St John. I was hooked. In March of 2003 I purchased land, some say its the best lot on the whole south side of the island, with its 230 degree breathtaking ocean views. I completed Little Palm Guest Suite in August of 2009 as a place where guests can truly enjoy the best St John has to offer. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have about my villa or St John in general.
Why they chose this property
I spent an entire week, 8 hours a day, on the island looking at every parcel of land available. In the end, the panoramic views, the cooling trade winds, the privacy, the gentle sounds of the surf, the views of three different bays, the sunrise and sunset...I was not able to find anything that compares.
What makes this property unique
The trade-winds will keep you cool as you see one of the most spectacular views on the entire south shore. In fact, the view has been rated "one of the top 10 villa views in the world" by an International luxury villa company. Enjoy, unbelievable sunrises and sunsets!
