Fish Bay Villa | Palm Vista: Voted Top 10 Panoramic Villa View in the World! +200 5 star reviews

3 Bedroom Villa in Fish Bay, St. John

Palm Vista is a sparkling clean island style villa situated 500 feet above sea level on the boundary of the national park. This is one of the very few villas on St John that offer both sunrise & sunset views! Plus, Luxury Retreats International has rated Palm Vista as "1 of the top 10 view villas in the world"!
The 280 degree panoramic views are unparalleled on the south shore; providing views all the way to Ram Head with sunrises in the east, looking south into Reef Bay, Fish Bay and Rendezvous Bay, and to the west for great sunsets. The site gives you the ultimate in privacy, yet you are close enough to hear the gentle sounds of the surf below. Plus, the national park is right next door providing easy access to hiking.
The villa is equipped with Solar panels & Tesla power walls to provide electricity during power outages.
Guests have given over 200 Five Star Reviews on VRBO and T Advsr.; the most of any St John villa! You may have seen Palm Vista on HGTV as scenes for their show Caribbean Life were filmed here!
I have the best maid on the island, so you will find the villa VERY CLEAN. The pool is also professionally cleaned once a week.
The vaulted ceiling Great Room constructed of native stone walls and travertine marble floors, has 20' wide sliding glass doors to the south providing a great ocean view with screens for you to enjoy the cooling trade winds. The French doors to the east provide additional ocean and pool views. The large sectional couch provides comfortable seating and the new Samsung 46" flat panel TV is connected to satellite as well as DVD. There is also a bar and stools; perfect for entertaining.
Each of the three air conditioned bedrooms have their own en-suite luxury bath, with custom Walter Zanger tiled vanities trimmed in mahogany. Plenty of shelving for easy living, plus large travertine showers. Each bedroom has satellite TV as well as wonderful ocean views!
The main level has a large Veranda which wraps around the south and east of the home, covered in coral tile and amply furnished for relaxing and dining. The views from the veranda are too good to describe - this is where you will spend your time, enjoying the cooling trade winds. The veranda flows to the pool deck, also covered in beautiful natural coral stone.
The pool deck has Frontgate chaise lounges.
Palm Vista was completed with loving care as you will see, from the hand made pottery light fixtures, the detailed tile work, the beamed ceilings to the star fish adorned bulkheads no detail was spared. Come and experience the paradise of Palm Vista!
Rent from 2 to 3 bedrooms; priced accordingly. two bedroom rental guests can choose from the 2 King bedrooms or the Queen bedroom on the main floor with en-suite bath & one of the 2nd & 3rd King bedrooms on the garden level, each with their own en-suite baths. Rates are based upon double occupancy; up to 4 guests = 2 bedrooms, 5-6 guests = 3 bedrooms. If you have a total of 4 guests, you can pay an additional fee if you desire the 3rd bedroom. If you rent less than 3 bedrooms, the un-rented bedrooms are locked out and never rented to a different party. If you have a need for a 4th bedroom, you can rent the Guest Suite on the property next door; contact owner for availability and more details.
The owner is not responsible for any booking and or computer errors made by VRBO.
A rental car will be required for your stay. 2 or 4 door 4WD Wrangler is recommended; not because you will use 4WD, but Jeeps sit higher off the ground making maneuvering the hills and turns on St John easier. Road/construction: in 2022 work is underway to bury the utility lines on the major roadways. This may cause some slight traffic delays. Also, sometime in 2022 or 2023 construction of a new home is scheduled to occur nearby toward the end of Skytop road.

Summary: Property is stunning - the view is unmatched. A review cannot do it justice. Grounds are well maintained and home is clean. Michael is a wonderful, responsive host. Our family very much enjoyed our stay and would happily go back again without hesitation!
Deb B. Feb 9, 2025 02:07:44 AM
Summary: Overall a fabulous well-equipped villa with a great owner who communicates wellPros:2 king ensuites with views (there is a 3rd queen bedroom that we didn’t see)Well-stocked kitchen with spices, ice, coffee filters, paper goods, plates, glasses, etc. I love to cook and this was a dream kitchen.GrillOwner was so nice and easy going and responsivePoolBeach and pool towels, chairs, floats, coolers. Cons:Have to have a car and it’s a scary drive to get there especially at night. Be careful
Tammy T. Dec 3, 2024 01:12:30 AM
Summary: Everything was great. Property is beautiful.
Jake S. Sep 12, 2024 03:54:33 AM
Summary: I should not have to sell anyone on the location or views, they speak for themselves from all the amazing pictures. What we really appreciated was how communicative everyone was as our trip got closer. From the moment we landed on the island, to getting our rental car, to the escort up to the property, everything was 5 stars. Our host walked us through everything, we did not have any questions as we began our week long trip to paradise. I highly recommend this property, it's quiet, convenient and of course, breathtaking.
Matt C. Jul 21, 2024 04:06:13 AM
Summary: Highest recommendation. We loved our visit to St John and the Palm Vista was perfect for our group of six
Kimberlee Dawn E. Jun 20, 2024 12:16:31 AM
Summary: The pictures shown does not do this home justice. It’s such a beautiful place with spectacular views. It is super privately located as well. Me, my husband & our two children (ages 11 & 15) stayed here for 8 nights during Memorial Day weekend and the week after. The host and the property manager were very friendly and helpful. They always responded within minutes of texting them (I only had to text them once during our stay to replace a battery in one of the smoke detectors in a downstairs bedroom bc it was beeping from low battery. They had it replaced within an hour. πŸ‘). The home is also conveniently located, but very private. I can not recommend this place enough.
M G. Apr 28, 2024 12:51:36 AM
Summary: My husband and our two teens had a great week. House was exactly as described and the views are spectacular. Teens loved the layout of the two bedrooms with outside entrances. We played bocce, swam in the pool and used the grill and well-equipped kitchen. Beach chairs and coolers were great for the beaches. Drive to get to the rental is an adventure…definitely glad we had a jeep. Highly recommend sailing on Tipitina as an excursion and visiting the Windmill Bar. Favorite beaches were Hawksnest, Trunk Bay, and getting up early one day and going to Mahoβ€”great snorkeling with lots of turtles. Rented jet skis with the β€œtour” at Cruz Bay Waterspots at the Westin..so pleasantly surprised, it was awesome and the kids had a blast. We had a great stay and would rent this house again. Thanks!!
Michael G. Mar 20, 2024 07:58:55 PM
Summary: Our host (Michael) was wonderful, so wonderful we had him over for dinner! Greatest views on the island. We wanted for nothing at our unit!!!! We will be back for sure!
Mark L. Mar 16, 2024 11:00:05 PM
Summary: We stayed at Palm Vista for 7-days over spring break with our family of 4 - two teenage boys. It was perfect for everything we needed. The views were incredible! The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with Michael from the very start was the best we've had from a VRBO owner. He provided tons of details to make getting to & from St John and Palm Vista easy, and offered many great suggestions to make our stay even better. I would definitely recommend this place and Michael!
mitchell s. Feb 18, 2024 02:39:22 AM
Summary: We had not been to at John’s for over 30 years- we are sorry we waited so long! My wife and I had a wonderful time and we could not have found a nicer place and host! The villa is outstanding in all aspects from the view to the bedrooms to the pool- it is all more than we expected and the thing that puts it over the top is Michael the host! From the time of rental to arrival and throughout our stay he was unbelievable. We have stayed in many vrbo’s etc over the years and he is by far the best host we have ever had! Thank you Michael!
