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 280 degree 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!!!

All interior photos show the suite.

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.

Spectacular Views
We booked the suite based on the depicted views and we weren’t disappointed! Loved watching the sunrise from the bougainvillea draped deck and hearing the surf at night. In fact, the accommodation became one of the highlights of the trip. While driving in St John is not for the faint of heart, we found the trek up to Skytop road to be less stressful than feared. There’s very little traffic on the road Just do it.

Wished we could have stayed longer!
My husband and I were fortunate enough to get away to Little Palm Vista and my only regret is not being able to stay longer! The suite is perfectly appointed and looks exactly like the pictures. The views are BREATHTAKING and we saw incredible rainbows from our balconies on more than one day. We visited a different gorgeous beach every day (our goal) but also loved coming back for a dip in our private pool and having wine and coffee on our balcony. While this is a mountaintop home, we truly had no issue navigating the road in our Jeep and Michael the owner even came to meet us on our first day to escort us up to the house. Michael made wonderful recommendations for restaurants and bars, was very responsive to questions and could not have been kinder to us. This was one of my favorite getaways ever and made us love St. John even more. We can’t wait to come back to Little Palm Vista!

A beautiful place to stay
Little Palm was outstanding in so many ways. The view the ambiance, the private pool, the spacious bathroom. Mike, the owner, was a wealth of information- where to eat, hiking trails, beaches, etc. He was readily available and also kind, we will miss him! He made our trip.I have read other reviews about the “horror” of the drive, but once we did it a couple of times, it was just fine. We drove it at night after dinner many times. It was so worth it for the peace and quiet. We are in our 60s and didn’t find the drive a reason not to be at this location which felt like paradise. If you are a couple and love nature, do yourself a favor and stay here. You will not regret it. Should you need any more information, feel free to contact us at 216-244-2483. We are that passionate about this place!worth it

Beautiful view
The view here was beautiful. The owner was very nice. We have never been to St John and didn’t know what to expect. We are in our 70s. The drive up to this area was extremely stressful for us as we had never driven on the left side of the road and the turns were very sharp and the roads were filled with dips, holes, and speed humps .It took 15 minutes each way to get to Cruz Bay. Next time we will definitely stay in town .

We had an amazing stay at Little Palm Vista—everything was absolutely perfect!Michael went above and beyond, offering fantastic recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and activities. His warm hospitality made us feel right at home.The drive was simple thanks to Michael’s guidance and map. The place was spotless, and Michael provided snorkel gear, beach chairs, a cooler, and noodles, making beach days effortless. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the grill, toaster oven, and fridge made it easy to prepare meals at home. A nice break from eating out on vacation. The balcony views were simply breathtaking!We loved playing bocce ball while taking in the stunning ocean views, reading by the pool, and stargazing at night. This place truly feels like a little slice of paradise! We even chose to stay home and enjoy the Vrbo instead of heading to the beach some days because it had everything we needed to relax and unwind.Thank you for an unforgettable trip—we can’t wait to come back!

10th Anniversary Trip to St. John
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!

Almost perfect
We had a wonderful time at this property. The location is mid-island which makes getting around the island pretty easy, all communication beforehand was excellent and set us up for success, and the pool is an amazing place to wind away the ends of days. We did have a few issues, all of which Michael addressed, but which led to lower ratings on our part. 1) When we arrived, the property had not been properly cleaned (dirt in entryway, still used soap in shower, dirty vase on calendar). A second cleaning crew came by the next day and fixed this. 2) Not sure if time of year or not, but we were not able to see the sunrise or the sunset from the property, which was disappointing given the views in the property listing. 3) Some emergency repairs needed to be made to Michaels' main house, which meant workers were there (quite noisily) for several hours one day, preventing us from using the pool. A heads up would have been nice. I think much of this was in part due to Michael not being able to be present during our visit, as the communication we did have with him was excellent. It's a great place otherwise, and it's truly fantastic for a couple visiting St John for the first time.

This was our first trip to St. John so we had no idea what to expect. Michael’s meticulous notes helped us immensely. We felt incredibly prepared throughout our week in paradise. From navigating the arrival process to making dinner reservations, Michael had it covered! Michael was incredibly prompt in addressing an AC issue and kept us notified of the inevitable power outages. We would highly recommend staying at one of his properties.

Little Palm Vista
Little Palm, Honey moon suite My wife and I have visited St John more than a handful of times. This is our first time since covid. I had hoped the Island hasn’t lost its charm. Most times we stay in a one bed villa’s. Having stayed in most , I will say Little palm is one of the nicest I think the nicest we have stayed. The only place that I could watch the sun rise with my coffee overlooking Fish Bay. And while watching the sunset with my favorite beverage. Beautiful view from your private balcony.The villa was very clean and had the amenities to make our stay comfortable. The evening breeze was refreshing and the sound of the surf below soothing . The host Michael was very helpful. My first time with the VRBO experience Michael was very helpful with the reservation . Also meeting us at the ferry and showing the way to the Villa. The villa offers all the privacy we could want the pool area was very nice and well kept. The entire Villa was exceptionally well maintained. Michael Krienik has other Villas to choose from. We will be back .to paradise in October . With the Palm Visra rental Rene and Judy L

We had a great week in St John at this property. The room was spotless, the bed was extremely comfy and the view was beyond compare. This is our third stay on the island and this property was spectacular and perfect for two. We had a private pool and sitting on the balcony overlooking fish bay with a cup of coffee in the morning began a day of perfection. Michael provided a guest book that was the most comprehensive I’ve ever seen. It included all the possible information we needed including rating local restaurants. Prior to arrival, he provided extensive information regarding transportation, etc. We will definitely return!

We chose Little Palm Vista for our anniversary return to St. John, where we were married 30 years ago. It was a perfect choice in a perfect location, and Michael was the perfect host. Michael met us at the Jeep rental location, accompanied us to buy groceries, and guided us to his beautiful villa in the southern mountains overlooking the Caribbean. The view was spectacular, the accommodations were comfortable and luxurious, and Michael was always available with helpful advice. Michael is more than warm and gracious host, he became a friend and we look forward to returning to spend more time with him at Little Palm Vista in a few months.
