Maria Bluff Cottage-Romantic, Ocean Views, Modern, Private Pool

Summary:
This newer two-story cottage features ocean views, a private pool, and an exquisite kitchen. Ideal for a couple, small group, or family, it offers easy access from its private driveway. The cottage includes a full kitchen, living room, laundry area, coral stone deck, outdoor dining, plunge pool, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Multiple zones of air conditioning ensure comfort for everyone in the group.

The Space:
The first floor bedroom is the Seabreeze Suite while the second story bedroom is called the Sunset Suite and has a deck to take in the sweeping views. The Cottage connects to the Great House via a short walkway. You can rent both villas together.  There is a landscaping for privacy between the two villas.

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.

The Neighborhood:
Perched atop Maria Bluff, this property offers Tradewinds and panoramic views in every direction. Situated in a quiet, well-established neighborhood on St. John's south shore near the Westin, it features rolling hills perfect for morning walks or runs. With easy access to the beach, boat charters, and snorkeling, and close to Cruz Bay, it’s convenient for trips to town or the National Park.

Getting Around:
BOOKVI highly recommends renting a 4-wheel drive vehicle for navigating St. John's terrain. We can provide a list of trusted local rental companies and have a few villa vehicles available. Please inquire with the BOOKVI Team about options!

Amazing Villa & Location!
This was the perfect place to stay when visiting St. John. Amazing view and location- less than a 10 min drive to Cruz Bay. The house itself was beautiful with all the added amenities we could have needed. Will definitely stay here again!

St John absolutely beautiful. Stepped off ferry and Brandon our host was there waiting to pick us up in our rental car. Upon arrival to house he walked us through making sure we knew where everything was. He was so nice and very attentive. He told us some good places to eat for our first night there. We chose Longboards The house was beautiful, the views from every room were breathtaking. The bedroom suite upstairs was nice, that is where we slept, when you wake up in the morning all you see outside is ocean. The house had everything we needed. No snorkel gear (no problem). The pool was so relaxing, had the feel of an infinity pool. The house was immaculately clean. I can’t say enough good things about María Bluff Estate’s. The Jeep we rented from Book VI was nice/new. BookVI stayed in close contact during our whole stay through texts. Made everything seamless. Thank you to you all. And special shout out to Brandon.

Flawless Accommodations in St. Joh
Outstanding home and hosts! This home is perfectly situated close to everything you need! The home was absolutely beautiful, clean comfortable and offered every amenity one could need (including chairs and coolers for us to use at the beach)! The neighborhood was quiet. The views: AMAZING. Brandon and team were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us with helpful info weeks before our arrival. They introduced us to the property and made sure we were all set before departing. Their responses to our questions were very timely. They gave us great recommendations. Check-in and check-out were easy. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was. Hands-down the best host home we’ve experienced!

The Villa is spectacular. The view is amazing, even better then the pictures. The place was spotless. We couldn’t have been happier. Perfect for 1 or 2 couples with everything you need and more. Property management goes above and beyond what you would expect. We rented the jeep. Would highly recommend. They met us at the dock with the jeep and drive us to the villa which made things very convenient. We also ordered groceries before we arrived and had them stick the Villa. Very nice! You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

Wonderful cottage for 2 Couples
Great location, wonderful layout for two couples, well stocked kitchen. We arrived with coffee beans instead of ground coffee and Brandon got a coffee grinder for the cottage so we could grind our coffee…very thoughtful. Cottage is clean; nice pool and deck area. Fairly private…nice landscape plants create some screening from the main house.

Amazing Villa
We had an amazing stay at Maria Bluff Cottage. The Villa was exactly as described and pictured. Brandon was kind enough to pick us up from the ferry and show us around the house and property. We also rented a jeep from the property managers which was very convenient and easy. The property managers are super helpful and gave great suggestions on which ferry to take and what to do on island. The villa is wonderful and super clean - very nice decor and furniture. Bathrooms and kitchen were nicely appointed and stocked with what we needed. Bedrooms were very nice and had all the little extras to make for a comfy stay. It was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy a week away to relax and recharge. This villa would also be very comfortable for 2 couples. The outdoor space was amazing! The views from the pool and decks are spectacular both day and night! The pool was clean and inviting - we spent several afternoons relaxing at the pool after snorkeling/scuba in the morning. We loved sitting outside and watching the stars come out from the patio. The villa is also nicely equipped with a gas grill, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and coolers to take to the beach. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio table every chance we had. The table area is under cover so is usable even in a light rain. We look forward to coming back to Maria Bluff Cottage again very soon!

We enjoyed our stay at Maria Bluff Cottage. Everything was just as described. The managers communicate well and are very helpful. When we had a problem with our TV connection it was fixed immediately. The home is in an ideal location just a short drive from down town Cruz Bay. The view is beautiful! We would highly recommend Maria Bluff Cottage to anyone looking to visit St John.

Perfection-Spectacular Property
We had a wonderful stay at Maria Bluff Estates. Brandon was attentive and welcoming and got us settled quickly and efficiently. Brandon and the team were accessible if needed, but also gave us our privacy and/or space, to enjoy our family vacation. Perfect balance. The property/Villa: One word... Fantastic! We stayed at the detached guest house/Villa. The villa was warm and inviting. The view was spectacular from both the lower level and the master suite sun deck. The kitchen and bathrooms were adequately stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. The Villa was clean, modern, and comfortable. An added bonus (you don't really think about these aspects): The Villa had 4 beach chairs, and coolers for the beach. That was huge. The location was perfect, 10-Min from downtown, 7 Min to Starfish (Grocery Store), and about 20-Min from the beaches. We all felt safe and secure, very quiet, zero pedestrian or vehicular traffic on or near the property. We look forward to returning to the island/Maria Bluff Estates in the near future, and highly recommend this property. You wont be disappointed! Note: Please don't share, lets keep this GEM to ourselves!

AMAZING~ REPEAT STAY
Location- picture perfect, sun all day, easy to get to town and have a scenic drive through the park to the best beaches in the US (from going to BVI I would say Trunk tops them all!) Great location to explore the island- just rent a jeep! View- Amazing !!! Sun all day! Westerly is the best- the colors in the sky are stunning. Villa- I have stayed on the island in at least 10 different villas and WOW this place is perfect for a couple/2 couples or a small family. Super clean, user-friendly, amazing beds, comfy chillin' living room, perfect outdoor area, and private pool. Villa Manager- STATE OF ART- Shawna is the best. She made us feel like we were the only people that mattered! So welcoming- Welcoming is an understatement! Felt like I was the president coming in town! Shawna knows all- she gave me all the hints from the best places for snorkeling to restaurants and shopping. The Villa has a great book with everything you need to know to get around.

The property was very nice! The road to the property was very Rocky. This should really be paved. The Villa needs window shades or blinds on all windows / slider doors for TV / family Room. Should upgrade to King Size bed on first floor. Other than these items, a great stay! 😎👍

Lovel, but you do have two very close neighbors so it’s not at all remote. This is a guest house, you can hear and in some cases see neighbors on both sides. Internet may go out so prepare. Great view, nice dipping pool and kitchen. Needs hairdryer and cutting board. Everything was great and very nice jeep rental.

Phenomenal View
This was a luxury rental. The cottage is beautifully appointed and very clean. Even the cookware is high end. Each room (bedrooms, kitchen and living room) has a spectacular view of the ocean. The 2nd story bedroom balcony allows for a sweeping view (where I spent many hours looking for whales on the horizon) while the first floor does have a poinciana tree at eye level. We spent our afternoons relaxing in the pool. The outdoor seating areas are perfect for gathering and spending quality time together. As mentioned by other guests, the staircase to the upstairs bedroom is outside and we did have to wait for a 10 minute rainstorm before heading up one night during our stay. The cottage had plenty of beach chairs, towels, coolers, ice packs, and pool toys. Our hosts picked us up at the ferry upon arrival, helped us get a few groceries the first night and were very friendly. This was a special occasion rental for us and we appreciated the cottage being exactly as we expected it to be. My family would highly recommend Maria Bluff Cottage. Given the excellent location and time of year for this vacation (spring break), the rental cost was probably appropriate. It was higher than we usually would budget but I hope we get the chance to stay there again in the future.

Cozy and Beautiful!
Our family (two adults and two children) had a wonderful stay at Maria Bluff Cottage! Property Manager Brandon went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. Our favorite parts of the stay were evenings on the deck after the beach, grilling above an incredible view. The kids enjoyed the small pool! The cottage is perfectly set up for privacy with a master bedroom accessible by outside stairs only (this bedroom has a deck, perfect for early morning coffee and late night stargazing). The location of the cottage is ideal, only a short drive into Cruz Bay, yet feels remote since it's at the end of Maria Bluff.

A Dream!
This house was amazing. It sits on a clif. The view is spectacular. Very updated. The second bedroom is separate from the house. You must go outside to enter the main house- so note if it is raining you will need to wait or get wet. Not ideal for young kids. My only 2 negatives about this property is 1: no tv in the bedroom of the main house. 2: the big tree in front of the pool that almost blocks the whole view. Our concierg was amazing. So helpful. The jeep was a MUST. SERIOSULY the best trip!!

Stayed in Early November 2021. Property was extremely clean and well appointed. Everything you could have needed for vacation was there (beach chairs, coolers, umbrella). We also used the kitchen for a meal on our first night as well as the gas grill. Didn’t need a thing that we could not find in the drawers. The property management team was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. The cottage is new and well cared for. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the afternoon after a day out experiencing the island. We rented the Jeep from the property management company and it was perfect for all our needs. Beds were comfortable and the layout of the cottage would be perfect for two couples. The view of the ocean was nice and on a clear day you could see St. Croix. Would certainly stay here again. Close enough to town but far enough away. Felt safe and secure. Was a perfect location.

Nice kitchen, bathrooms, living area, great view, relaxing pool, great location with a scenic view. We would return without hesitancy. I think they need more water pressure for showers and they need to bleed the sulfur smell before guests arrive. Stinky at first. Water pressure issues need addressing. No hesitancy to return.
