Arc Du Soleil-Salt Water Pool, Back Up Power, Ultimate Island Living!

Summary:

ARC DU SOLEIL was designed for Guests to experience outdoor living on St. John and perfectly emulates the Caribbean lifestyle. The beauty of the island's natural surroundings are the most prominent feature and enduring allure. An experience which can only be found in the tropics; one that brings the outdoors in, and entices you to become more in tune with nature. This is an experience that is unique to the islands. We cordially invite you to come, relax, and enjoy the Arc.



The Space:

True Caribbean open air living featuring magnificent native stone arches, framing the picture perfect view of the Caribbean sea for dramatic sunsets and star gazing. Polished concrete floors, a large and modern gourmet kitchen, master bath offers his and her vanities, and a soaking tub for unwinding after a fun filled day.

Primary bedroom with new Tempur-Pedic king bed, en-suite bath with soaking tub, and on open hanging area for clothes in the bathroom. There are two guest bedrooms with en-suite baths. One on the main floor with Tempur-Pedic king bed and one on the lower level with 2 twin beds that can be made into a King bed.



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.



The Neighborhood:

With spacious decks, our large salt water pool, which is more gentle on your eyes, skin, and the environment, provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy the fabulous views of Great Cruz Bay Harbor, across the Pillsbury Sound to St. Thomas, on to other islands and Cays and the endless summer sunsets!
 On a clear day, you can easily see Vieques and even the mountains of Puerto Rico.



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!

Magical view

We loved our stay at Arc du Soleil. The property was magnificent. Super clean, kitchen was well stocked for cooking and beds were very comfortable. The living room and kitchen were open air and bedrooms were air conditioned, temps were comfortable in both areas. The views were some of the best we have ever had. The team was very responsive if we needed anything. I would love to stay here again if back in St. John.

Our stay at Arc was outstanding from meeting our BookVI host at the house for a walkthrough to the house itself. The kitchen & great room were large and more than accommodated our party of six. Kitchen was well appointed with all types of serving ware, pans, utensils and appliances. Pool was crystal clear, warm and had multiple chairs & floats. We appreciated the multiple selections of coolers. Outdoor bar was just as amazing. The house itself was immaculately clean.Bedrooms were spacious & quiet with luxuriously comfortable beds & pillows. A/C in bedrooms was welcomed given the kitchen/GR was open to the outdoors, making for humid evenings when hanging out/dinner. Open air layout of kitchen/GR could be the only real downside of the property; since hanging out in the west facing room got rather warm. Upsides to the west facing room were incredible views in the morning to admire the harbor and evening to appreciate the starry sky.Given the open air layout; we expected bugs to be terrible which they were not, would still recommend to bring bug spray to ensure minimal nuisance from them.Arc is close to all beaches except for the far east side like Hanson Beach; but far enough out of Cruz Bay that you forgot it was only a 12 minute drive into town.We definitely give Arc a top recommendation to stay on St. John. Also top tier service from BookVI (both Brandons, Noel) who were responsive from initial scheduling & then throughout our stay answering all of our questions.

This is a beautiful and unique property! The outdoor living was super cool. We love being outside and the vibe here was awesome.

Amazing pool & sunset view

Immaculately appointed villa with everything you could want- all quality furnishings & decor- just like you would do yourself. Great Chefs kitchen, fantastic master bedroom/bath, quality white linens/towels. Several Stocked beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear & noodles. They thought of things I didn't consider-loved the place! Bring bug repellent during the Fall although they do have a bunch of bug zappers-. Highly recommend!! Gorgeous sunsets & the pool & bar area was amazing- Like our own resort-had several fun days enjoying the pool plus lived on ur beach day!!

Perfect

We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The property is breathtakingly beautiful. Coffee on the open air veranda followed by a dip in the pool are how we started every morning. We ended each evening in the pool! The house is well designed and perfect for 3 couples to comfortably spread out. The location is perfect (we used the car that was offered by the property and drove all over the island (from Cruz to Coral). The house was well supplied with amenities and very responsive to a lock/key issue (our fault) and an electric breaker issue (that was fixed immediately). This is my 3rd stay on the island and I will very likely stay at this property again. It was just THE BEST!

Beautiful Place in St. John

This is a truly lovely place to stay. It has an amazing view an unique layout. The kitchen and living area is open to the pool area with a spectacular view. The bedrooms are all locked with a keycode making the place very secure. The bedroom and bathrooms were nice and clean with working AC and fans. We only used two of the bedrooms on the main floor. The third bedroom is accessible by walking on an outside gravel path to the unit below the main floor.The place is extremely well stocked with coolers, beach chairs, beach tents, games, towels, etc. There is some snorkel gear but for a large group you would likely need to rent more. The place also had pods for washing clothes and dishes. The kitchen has plenty of glassware, cups, utensils, bags, etc.The pool was clean and beautiful. It was perfect to cool off after a day at the beaches. Sunsets were breathtaking.It is an adventurous drive up to the location. A lot of steep hills and sharp turns! You should definitely rent a jeep if staying here. It is a nice and quiet neighborhood (if you don't count the roosters that are all over the island).Communication with the host was outstanding. They were responsive even to questions on recommended restaurants, taxi services, etc. I cannot recommend them enough!

Spectacular view and great service

Arc de Soleil was a beautiful home to stay at. The views are simply stunning and the pictures do not compare. We were close to Cruz Bay where many of the restaurants were and also near many of the beaches to visit. The host was great to work with and communicated well. If we were to return to St. John we would seriously consider coming back to this home. There were five of us and we were very comfortable with the rooms and living space. Everyone enjoyed the open space and we spent a lot of time together there. The bar was stocked which was a nice surprise. There were good appliances and kitchen supplies. The bedrooms were comfortable and the AC was nice to have there. The open concept and view was amazing for morning coffee, hanging around and dinners. We are on a tropical island so there were a lot of no see ums and mosquitos. Bring some bug spray. There were also beach chairs, coolers, beach games and snorkel equipment for our many beach days all over the island. We used them a lot and appreciated having them to enjoy. The service was excellent and they were in constant communication. We got a lot of questions answered and help with some excursions and a rental car. They made it easy which is not always the case with every VRBO.

We’ll be back!

Our visit to St. John and our stay at Arc du Soleil could not have been more perfect. Brandon and the entire BookVI team did a fantastic job preparing the villa, meeting us at the ferry and welcoming us to the home, and assisting with any questions we had while on the island. We’ve stayed in a dozen villas on St. John, and this experience and villa are hands down the best we’ve had. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you all for making our week unforgettable!
