Summary:
Cielo Vista (Heavenly View) is a hilltop villa blending Latin-style flooring with clean white plaster and rich mahogany accents. It includes a whole-house generator. All rooms have air conditioning including the living room, Loft and kitchen. Experience the owner's unique design and craftsmanship as you enjoy awe-inspiring views from the pool deck, capturing the Caribbean Sea, dynamic sunsets, and the sights and sounds that will enhance every stay. In addition, you can add on the lower apartment to sleep a total of 8. It is not rented seperately. It is an additional $200 per night.
The Space:
Upon entering the villa, you'll find the central hub: a two-story lofted Great Room designed to take advantage of the gentle Caribbean breeze and abundant natural light. The main space offers various seating arrangements and ample lighting, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The loft features a queen bed and a catwalk leading to a private second-story deck.
The Great Room is flanked by two private bedrooms, each featuring A/C, king-sized beds, and en-suite bathrooms with dual-sink vanities and spacious, spa-inspired showers offering panoramic Caribbean views. The bathrooms do not have A/C.
Cielo Vista features a fully-equipped kitchen designed to face the Great Room, allowing the chef and their helpers to enjoy the view and engage in social gatherings while preparing meals. Across from the kitchen, the large screened-in outdoor veranda offers a comfortable space for relaxing, reading, and dining. The veranda overlooks the private pool, which is perfect for sunbathing, sunset viewing, and enjoying drinks amid lush tropical flora.
Guest Access:
BookVI will arrange for a Greeter to meet you at the villa for check-in, provide a tour, address any questions about the property, and offer insights about the island. Check in arrangements will be tailored to your party size, arrival time, and familiarity with the area. Alternatively, BookVI offers a virtual check-in via FaceTime to review the villa and answer any questions.

Located on Gift Hill, this area offers amazing westward views for breathtaking sunsets. It is quiet and peaceful, yet just a few minutes from town and the national park beaches and hiking trails.
