About this property

LUXURY LIVING IN THE PRIVATE QUIET AND SAFE EAST END

Casa Cielo is a private villa located on Long Point Peninsula in the 'less traveled' East End of St. John. This ridgeline location offers 270 degree views from 2,000 square feet of decks, patios and lanais. Coral Bay, where you will find restaurants and shopping, is a 15 minute drive thru the National Park’s Hurricane Hole. Casa Cielo is a spacious, well-appointed, private 4-bedroom luxury villa with breathtaking views of the sea, the animals, the boats, and the beaches that make the East End of St. John such a unique and relaxing spot. Enjoy your morning's first cup of coffee on the expansive lower patio, watching sea turtles come up for air in the crystal blue waters of Hansen Bay. Catch sight of dolphins and sometimes even migrating whales as you lounge by the large in-ground pool or soak in the spa. Each of the Villa's 4 bedrooms have a luxurious queen size bed, seating area, full bath, large closet, ceiling fan, AC and outdoor patio. One bedroom has a kitchenette, a covered lanai and an outdoor shower. The primary bedroom suite may be reserved for parties of 7-8 guests or for an added fee. The great room is outfitted with a 4K Smart HDTV, shelves full of board games and books, and comfy seating for all. A fully equipped kitchen makes preparing and serving meals easy . There is no better spot on the island to enjoy the tropical sights and sounds unique to St. John than Casa Cielo. Come to the East End for your next vacation and find a little piece of paradise waiting for you. PLEASE SEE CASA CIELO’S PUBLISHED RATES ON THE RATE PAGE UNDER NOTES FOR PARTIES ABOVE FOUR GUESTS ‘INSTANT QUOTE’ IS INACCURATE. FOURTH BEDROOM AND BATHROOM IS AVAILABLE FOR PARTIES OF SEVEN-EIGHT GUESTS OR FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE.

Location, location, location...but villa was lacking
Gorgeous views from outdoor areas, especially pool, I have limited characters for the review so I will focus mostly on negatives.The views didn't make up for lacking areas of the villa at this price point.Kitchen was large and easy to cook in.Beds were comfortable and a/c was great. The negatives: expectations for this $$$: wash/dry, furnishings in good condition, etc.Patio dining set is gorgeous, high end as are some of the chairs located on the lower patio.But several chairs around the pool had faded ripped cushions, one chair was broken and would practically tip over if you leaned back in it.One umbrella was broken and had large rips so could not be used.The other was very faded and ready to tear. Bathrooms have rusted hardware and everything is old/dated/worn. Toilet seat looked to be 20 years old w/yellowing all over it and one showerhead had about 70% of holes no H20 coming out. Ledge in shower was old, rotting wood. No window coverings; so bedrooms were visible to anyone, especially coming down the stairs. Owner had notes for using A/C wisely, but 2 bedrooms have slatted wooden doors so outside air comes in. No working icemaker; fridge took about 6 hours to make ice - we bought bags. Lots of small broken appliances that should be replaced or taken out. No large stock pot and almost all cookware needs replacing. Hot tub jets don't work. Bedroom/baths are what I would expect in a low end villa. For this $, w/d should be available for guest use, not just owner .

Best spot on the island
If you want privacy in the most beautiful spot on the island this is your place. Definitely out of the way meaning nothing is convenient from there but if you plan well and supply yourselves you will never want to leave. Our family loved it and the house was beautiful as well. We will definitely return

Extraordinary view that you do not want to leave!
Stunning property that has all that is needed for guests to have a wonderful time on island. Cooling sea breezes on the many spaces to sit, relax and connect. Wildlife, birds, sea turtles are everywhere. We explored most days around the island and found the location, although more remote than other areas of the island (which is what we wanted), convenient to all area beaches. Great time filled with wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing your property.

Casa Cielo
We have been to St. John several times and have stayed at some very nice homes. Casa Cielo certainly has become our favorite and we plan to return. The East End is the less visited part of the island yet is closer to some of the better hiking trails of St John (Rams Head, Brown Bay and Johnny Horn Trails) in addition to excellent snorkeling spots at Hansen Beach, N and S Haulover Bay and Salt Pond area. Although you are situated in a relatively remote location on this island you are residing in your virtual oasis on a cliff with 270-degree views of the water and constant ocean breezes as you lounge by the pool or on the spacious outdoor living areas. It was so comfortable that we enjoyed most of our evenings grilling and cooking at home which had a well-equipped kitchen opened to living and dining rooms. Coral Bay is only 15 minutes away and has several nice casual places to eat as well as a fairly decent grocery store. All the bedrooms had AC. Jay and Athena ,the wonderful caretakers at Casa Cielo live close by and were immediately available yet certainly respected your privacy. You will not be disappointed but you will need your jeep. ENJOY!

We are so happy to share our piece of paradise with you. When you discover
Casa Cielo , you may not want to leave!

Why they chose this property

What attracted us immediately to Casa Cielo and the East End of St. John was the quiet and the privacy. The proximity to the sea, several wonderful beaches and great snorkeling made this a perfect location to escape from our busy lives in the states.

What makes this property unique

Casa Cielo offers a spacious and comfortable place to relax. With our large multi level decks offering expansive views of the Caribbean and St. John, you can swim in our salt water pool while star gazing, and find any number of secluded shady spots for catching up on your reading or napping.

There is a covered outdoor dining area, or enjoy our more formal indoor dining space. The great room is very comfortably furnished to accommodate all guests. The kitchen is large, fully equipped and will please any gourmet chef.
The Master Suite (for 7-8 guests) offers a claw=foot tub and garden outside shower.
One 500 sq. ft. bedroom suite is complete with a small kitchenette and private lanai. This suite has a full indoor bath, and a private outdoor shower.
Each of the other two 300 sq. ft. bedrooms have their own full bath, and they share an outdoor seating area overlooking the gardens and Hansen Bay.

The Great Room includes an extensive reading library for the guest who wants 'me time,' and plenty of games for the guests who enjoy fun interaction with each other.

Beach chairs and coolers are provided.
