Perched high on a secluded hillside between Johnson Bay and Friis Bay, Amarilla Villa offers sweeping, unobstructed views of St. John’s East End, its luminous turquoise bays, and the British Virgin Islands across the Sir Francis Drake Channel. With no neighboring homes in sight, this villa delivers rare privacy and a true sense of escape.

Facing east, the villa is perfectly positioned to capture cooling trade winds, soft afternoon shade, and spectacular sunrises. Spend your days lounging on the expansive Saltillo stone pool deck, floating in the large heated pool, or dining outdoors as the colors of the sea and sky shift throughout the day.

Beautiful View, great amenities!

The house is exactly what we needed to celebrate our anniversary. We had never stayed on Coral Bay side of the island. We were greeted each morning by a beautiful sunrise. We spent our days at Maho, Trunk, and Cinnamon beaches which were all very easy to get to. The kitchen is well stocked, so if you wish to cook you don't need to bring anything. Beach chairs, snorkels, towels, all provided. Nice gated property. Power Outages are common on St John, and this house has a backup generator which was amazing. Three couples could easily stay in the three bedrooms. In our case, it was more than sufficient for our family of four. We would highly recommend!

Stunning Views

Property was amazing. I rented it for my fiancés 50th birthday and invited two other couples. The house was plenty big enough, well maintained, and nicely appointed. The sleeping quarters are separate from the main living area and nice and private. The property was beautiful and the views spectacular. Another reviewer had said that the pictures don’t do the property justice and I agree. It’s far more beautiful than the photos. Only piece of advice is to input the Villa name instead of the street address into your GPS or you’ll likely be driving forever looking for it. I would definitely stay there again!!!!

Great place to stay

This villa was beautiful ! We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning . The only down side to our stay was the internet only worked when you were in the living room kitchen area (no bedrooms ) . If you add a booster it would be great but that would not stop us from renting here again. The view was great the home was everything they state and more .

We just recently ended our stay at Amarilla Villa and the house is what made our vacation complete. Waking up each day to the sunrise and enjoying the hot tub in the evening were bookends to our day. We used the kitchen for all,of our meals except two evenings when we dined out. Our lunches were mostly spent on the beach with our pre-made thermos of rum punches. Overall, Amarilla is a great place to stay and well worth the money spent. If you want a house on the beach then be prepared to pay the big bucks. If you want a house with a fantastic view along with solitude then this is your choice. (If you have children they will require adult supervision with the pool and hot tub.)
