Here are some of the things our great villa guests have had to say about
our accommodations in St John
Public review
I’ve stayed at many great Airbnb’s around the globe, and this villa stands apart for me and takes the cake as my favorite place I’ve ever stayed. I’m convinced there’s not a better place to stay in coral bay; the place is exactly as it looks in the photos. It has modern accommodations and all the conveniences one could want (most notably a water filter so you can drink the tap water at the Villa), and an incredible deck with the best of views. Ive never had such an accommodating, thoughtful, and well communicating host. My partner and I refuse stay anywhere else when visiting the USVI, and trust me when I say that as I’ve stayed at Vista Bahias Vista three times in the last 8 months!

This place is perfect! The pictures are real, it is indeed as advertised. Vista Bahia have created such a beautiful villa. They are great hosts, welcoming and communicative. We had the best stay, we’re now trying to figure out how to go back again!

Incredible 5 nights at Vista Bahia’s penthouse. Coral bay is the quieter side of the island and we enjoyed exploring the island in our jeep each day. The penthouse was spotless, well cared for and was everything we needed for a comfortable home base — but add to that the views and we were really in for a treat. You can’t get those views from Cruz bay! This was a first vacation (sans kids) celebrating a milestone birthday and we could not have had a better stay.

My husband and I stayed at Vista Bahia’s gorgeous villa for one week and it could not have been more perfect. The views are out of this world. The villa is clean, spacious, and beautiful, and the kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom was beautiful – we loved the shower! – and the bed was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the black-out curtains on the windows so that we could sleep in well, even with the bright sun. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay and hope to be back soon!

My wife and I spent a week at Vista Bahia celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Vista Bahia’s place was even better in person than the incredible photos. It was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The wrap around deck provided incredible views and was the perfect outdoor space. The location is within 5 minutes of all that Coral Bay has to offer for food and drinks. The guestbook on the coffee table was very helpful. It had menus of local restaurants, her personal recommendations, maps, and anything you could possibly want to know about the place or the island. We highly recommend this perfect vacation getaway on such a beautiful island.

Very clean and comfortable. Can’t beat the view. Easy to get to and excellent location for a Coral Bay based stay. Great bathroom and bed. All the basics for cooking and great food storage/tupperware. Very quiet and private, especially considering there are two other apartments below. Responsive and friendly hosts. What else could you ask for?

Vista Bahia’s place is absolutely stunning inside and out and exceeded our expectation. The villa is exceptionally clean and comfortable, as well as beautifully and thoughtfully designed and decorated. The view leading into the villa and from our balcony was absolutely breathtaking; pictures simply don’t do it justice. We felt like we were in paradise the moment we stepped inside. Finally, Vista Bahia were wonderful hosts and my only regret is that we didn’t get the chance to thank them in person for allowing us to be their guests; it was truly our honor. I cannot recommend this place enough!

This is the paradise! My husband and I stay for a couple of days for our honeymoon. We couldn’t ask for a better place. The house is absolutely stunning with everything we need. It’s well equipped and so comfy. The view is wonderful. We have stayed in so many beautiful Airbnb houses, ocean and mountains, nothing compares to the house Vista Bahia built. Vista Bahia is a wonderful host. She’s so thoughtful. She has great communication and very detailed instructions on how to get to the house. This is definitely the highlight of our honeymoon. Btw I love the sea turtles decorations in the house! ❤️

Hands down, best place to enjoy a most needed vacation and honeymoon. Vista Bahia were great hosts. My wife is a germaphobe so the first thing we do when we go to a new place, it’s start cleaning and sanitizing. Vista Bahia’s cottage was clean to the touch. The view is out of this world, the garden it’s also amazing and well kept. Can’t thank Vista Bahia enough for the beautiful memories my wife and I made on Saint John.

This stay met every expectation for us. The apartment was exceptional and the views were as advertised and more. We even spent our evenings star gazing on the balcony! The apartment was very clean and many everyday items which are not feasible to pack were provided including olive oil and various seasonings needed for cooking. The shower had all the necessary shampoos and body washes. There was also a first aid kit in the bathroom along with aloe vera which I needed for the sunburn I received at The Limeout. Beach chairs, towels were also provided. The check-in process was simple and Vista Bahia maintained casual communications with us throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. All in all, this was a stay we enjoyed and we plan to make a return visit at some point in the future.

The best view on the island! So much to do and such beautiful beaches on St. John, but it’s hard leave the comfortable loungers on the deck! Quality craftsmanship and impeccable maintenance of the property are evident. The location was perfect for those that appreciate the quieter side of the island, but it’s still easy to get anywhere you want to go. The hosts are friendly and incredibly helpful. Five stars

Vista Bahia tells what a Superhost really means. The staying at Vista Bahia’s place made my solo trip to the USVI such a relaxed and amusing experience. I would highly recommend the location of Vista Bahia at Coral Bay, which is on the quite side of St John. For those who seeks freedom and peace, this is the right choice that separates you from all the crowds and noises of Cruz Bay. You will get the breathtaking view of Coral Bay from the patios with the garden plants around and kitties (5 cuties) running through. The place is super clean and well equipped with everything you need for traveling on the island, from beach supplies and snorkeling tools to basic cooking supplies and outdoor BBQ grill, just like how it’s been described. I thank Vista Bahia for being this thoughtful and considerate. Meanwhile, Vista Bahia is very responsive to my questions and needs, and she provides all the details/instructions very clear and at the right timing. The communication with her has been very pleasant and smooth as she cares about her guests’ experience and is always willing to help with flexibilities. Absolutely one of the best Airbnb experience for years!

We booked Vista Bahia’s place on a whim and I’m so glad we did. Great location and incredible views and a great breeze. We really loved watching the sunrise over the islands every morning with a cup of coffee. The place was clean and stocked with coolers, beach towels, chairs, noodles; anything you’d need for a good beach day which made the trip much easier. Fabulous hospitality here, we will be back!

Vista Bahia’s place was impeccable. The house is beautiful and so well designed. You can tell how much care was put into the place because of all the small details that were implemented. Our suite was very clean and spacious. Vista Bahia was very friendly and her husband was very helpful with finding the best snorkeling areas. The view as you can see in the photos is gorgeous, and looks just like in the pictures, if not better. there are is a nearby market and a few restaurants just down the road which was very convenient. Honestly it’s everything you might want on your trip to St John, and it’s definitely the much better side of the island as all the best beaches and trails are only 10min away. Highly recommend, don’t be afraid to book now.

Vista Bahia- A daytime view you have only seen in your dreams. At night, the privacy of your deck, trade winds in your face and an explosion of stars above. Truly a once in a lifetime experience as a seasoned traveler. Vista Bahia’s hospitality go unmatched! We returned our car rental 12/24 and they drove us on Christmas! to the ferry in Cruz Bay! Couldn’t have asked for a better host. They gave use inside knowledge to snorkel some of the best reef I have seen as a diver of much of the Caribbean. Now I understand it’s designation as a US National Park. Wow! These folks personally built this home from the foundation up and their perfect work showed through in the absolute enjoyment of every aspect of our stay. Would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you Vista Bahia!

My husband and I had a fabulous vacation in what we call “paradise.” The villa was perfect for our week vacation and had everything that we needed and more. We loved the deck and the outdoor shower and the extras such as beach chairs, cooler, ice packs and more for trips to the beach. This was our first trip to St John and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We loved Coral Bay and the view from the villa was spectacular. Vista Bahia was very responsive and we thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We hope that we have an opportunity to return.

Vista Bahia’s place was AMAZING!! What a view!!! Like nothing you’ve ever seen. Everything was well thought out and Vista Bahia communicated very well! It was also close to everything in Coral Bay and not far from pretty much anywhere on the island. We would highly recommend!
Public review
We had an amazing time here! The view looked like a backdrop. There was so much wildlife and nature right off the deck. The outdoor shower was so cool. We mostly used the deck or were out and about but the room was comfortable for sleeping and was stocked with anything we might have forgot. I was so sad to leave! I highly recommend!!

To quote my wife upon arrival “oh wow! This even exceeds my expectation. This place is amazing!” Perfect private get-away for a couple. Literally watched the sun rise from bed. Only a few minutes to everything in Cora Bay. Vista Bahia was also very pleasant and responsive. Stop looking and book here!

Vista Bahia was a fabulous host with a fabulous listing. The property and views were absolutely gorgeous! Landscaping was immaculate and beautiful. Inside, everything my husband and I needed to have a comfy place to come back and rest after a day full of adventures. The outdoor shower was a nice touch, she provided all of the beach necessities so I didn’t have to pack any, and even offered suggestions to find some items we needed once we arrived. Every detail was considered and all communication was thorough and timely. We absolutely recommend!

Our stay at Vista Bahia will go down as one of our favorite vacations ever! The spectacular view off the deck was just as pictured. Parking was so easy – on a flat area, which most rentals do not offer. We had everything we needed for the beach: a cooler, chairs, a backpack, ice packs and pool noodles. We loved Coral Bay and were a very short drive from local restaurants and beaches. Definitely going back!

Thank you Vista Bahia!
Wonderful stay! Check-in was easy, unit had everything you needed, and views from your deck were amazing! The hill up to Vista Bahia’s place is steep, but normal for St. John and a nice flat parking spot was much appreciated. Would stay here again!
