Magic View Villa

We had a really nice trip to St.John. Stayed at Magic View Villa. The views were amazing. Great sunsets and lots of boating activity to watch on the south shore from the deck. Really liked the privacy that the POD style setup provides for 2 couples. The greeter was very knowledgeable and helpful. No issues or complaints during our 10 day stay. We’ve stayed at a bunch of different houses/condos on St John and this is a good mix of all of them. Would stay again for sure

Magic View had a magical view! The accommodations didn’t really suit our needs (2 Adults) with the very small pool and 4 separate living areas in different buildings. Not very conducive for entertaining as the buildings separate the kitchen from the living area/tv. The only baths were in each bedroom buildings and not the living area or kitchen. We probably wouldn’t stay here again but it was private and nicely equipped with everything you may need while on vacation. The units were clean and proximity to Cruz Bay was convenient. This location may be great for more than 1 couple.

Magic View Villa is a spectacular place to enjoy a vacation. We were on our honeymoon and were blown away by the 180 degree panoramic view. We witnessed the sun rise and sun set off the deck along with breath taking views of the bays and coast below. The facility was well maintained and beautifully kept as well. Would recommend this villa over the conventional stays on the island!

This is the perfect property for 2 couples. We had plenty of space to spread out but yet our privacy. Very quiet neighborhood with marvelous views and amazing sunsets. Very convenient to Cruz Bay. Some things were tired and in need of repair but overall we loved our visit.

We didn't get a chance to sign the guestbook, but this is what we would have written:

This is our first trip to St John and we just cannot get over how beautiful it is! And the view from Magic View... unbelievably gorgeous. The location is great too - super close to Cruz Bay but quiet, except for the roosters crowing at dawn (which we actually loved)

We didn't use the AC at all, instead letting the wonderful ocean breeze blow in. It is so pleasant, especially at night. We mostly spent our time out on the expansive deck, sitting in the comfy chairs, and loved how conducive the villa is to outdoor living!

(Only suggestion would be to add an outdoor dining table :)

We have a 10-year-old daughter who loved the pool and having her own little separate "apartment" (the second detached bedroom). We had her lock her doors at night and we felt totally safe.

Beds are very comfortable (we are picky) and everything is clean, airy, and tastefully decorated. It was also awesome having all the beach gear - especially grateful for the beach chairs with the backpack straps. So much carrying around of beach gear to all the amazing beaches!

St John Signature Villas was great to work with. We rented a Jeep through O'Connor, also great. And upon recommendation, booked a charter with Cleve at Local Flavor to the BVIs - epic! Our daughter LOVED jumping off the back of Willy T's :)

Our favorite beaches were Salt Pond (also hiked Ram's Head), Francis Bay, Hawksnest, Maho (for turtles, but also for the strong Painkillers from the tiki bar..haha) and Trunk Bay (we almost didn't go because we didn't want to pay and felt it would be too crowded/touristy - but I am SO glad we did because it is stunning)

For food/drink we loved Beach Bar, La Tapa, Longboard, and Morgan's Mango. And of course lots of stops at St John Scoops :)

We are so happy we stayed at Magic View on our amazing trip to St John! Can't wait to come ba

Perfect location and unbelievable view! ST. John Villas made sure every aspect of our vacation was a success. The villa was clean and offered plenty of privacy. Would highly recommend this villa for 1-2 couples or a family with older children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Magic View Villa! It was close to Cruz Bay and everything we wanted to do on the island! The deck was perfect for sun bathing and the kitchen was nicely stocked for afternoon meals at the property! Everything about this place was perfect for one or two couples looking to enjoy some privacy as well as close to Island Living hot spots. I would stay here again and recommend the property! Thank you for letting us stay at Magic View!

Great location, easy to go into town. Absolutely a fantastic wide view of ocean and surrounding bays. Unreal views of sunrises and sunsets. No obstructions of power poles or wires. I got some of the best pictures of rain showers coming in over the ocean, rainbows and sunrise & sunsets. Comfortable master bedroom & fantastic bed. Nothing over the top, very comfortable living quarters & kitchen. I cant complain about a thing, can't wait to come back!

Our first time visiting St. John. The property was in excellent condition with an outstanding view and location.

Beautiful villa on the hillside overlooking Chocolate Hole. Good for couples or adult families - not suitable for kids. More spread out than expected, so factor that into your decision. Deck and views are amazing. Pool is small but good for a dip. Kitchen and laundry are updated and great.

The name of this villa is spot on! From morning til night this villa has show stopping views. Turn off all the lights at night and a million stars will appear. We even saw two shooting stars! The location cannot be beat. You can be at all the best restaurants in 5 min but you feel worlds away from the hustle bustle. Upon arrival, Nakira gave us the grand tour. Our family of 4 was very comfortable here. We loved the separate rooms. It felt like we could really spread out. The home is very clean and VERY comfortable. There were already so many provisions at the home so we didnt have to buy as many grocery staples as we thought. I highly recommend this beautiful home with the breathtaking views. It truly never got old. Every day started with coffee and a view and every night ended with wine and a view. Best vacation EVER.

Our stay at Magic View Villa was one of my favorite trips ever! The view from this property is stunning and truly cannot be captured in a photo. You will want to be home for sunset every evening- we made our dinner reservations around it. The bedrooms are lovely and comfortable, and the kitchen and living room are great as well, but we honestly spent ALL of our time on the deck. From coffee in the morning (so peaceful and serene) to an afternoon swim after our beach outing, to our sunset happy hours- it was the best place to be. There is plenty of room to spread out and plenty of privacy. The location is very private, yet convenient to beaches and restaurants. The rental staff was also very friendly and accommodating, although we honestly didn't need them after check in- everything was in great working order. We appreciated the that the owners of the villa provided great beach bags and beach chairs/umbrellas/floats, and we even took advantage of a yoga mat and some binoculars. Cannot say enough great things about our stay! We hope to return soon!

We think it's one of the best locations on the island. Minutes to grocery stores and town. Great for two couples. The pool is not very big but works to cool off. We wish both beds were kings. We would come back here for sure.

Villa had the most amazing views! Pool was nice for late afternoon ocean gazing. The water pump had to be replaced while we were there but they handled it very well, limited disruption. The bedrooms are far apart, good for us with teenagers but with small kids might be an issue. A/C was nice in bedrooms. Kitchen did not have it, but opened up the 3 doors and it was fine. Had to fix the screens on tracks, one had holes and could use replacing. Overall great stay! We didnt eat out due to covid so nice to have the gas grill.

Manager's Response

Magic View provided us with a much needed getaway. Everything was clean and perfect. The villa has everything you need and is located close enough and far away enough to Cruz Bay. The views are amazing! This was our 3rd stay here and we look forward to many more!

Manager's Response

We loved the location of Magic View Villa as it is a short drive above Cruz Bay on a quiet hill with magnificent sunrise and sunsets every day. Every amenity was provided, including binoculars for awesome birdwatching and handmade pottery for morning coffee that we enjoyed sitting on the very spacious deck overlooking the bays. The villa is very clean and the sheets/beds provided for great sleeping. We had great customer care with the management company helping to make all our plans prior to our arrival and upon our arrival with greeting us at the ferry. We explored many of the beaches, our favorites were Saltpond Bay (great snorkeling by the rocks and awesome hiking up to Ram Head), Gibney Beach and Trunk Bay. We enjoyed great food on the island, especially at La Tapa (street table), Joe's Rum Hut, Morgan's Mango and the new Windmill Bar is a great stop for a drink and incredible view! We have already shared our love for Magic View Villa with many and look forward to returning!

From the Signature Villa team to Magic View Villa, everything exceeded expectations. We were extremely satisfied by the information and hospitality provided. And there simply aren't enough words to describe the beauty of Magic View Villa, you will just have to see it for yourself!

Manager's Response

We love Magic View- the layout is wonderful for 1 or 2 couples or a small family with older children. The management staff is helpful through the booking process and is responsive to any issues during our stay. The house is comfortable and was delightfully clean.

Just as it's named, the views are magical. This was our third time to stay and we look forward to staying again in the future!

Manager's Response

Magic view was an amazing place. The views were out of this world. It also had a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and living room area.

Manager's Response

The property had many broken tiles, the screens in the living area had slight rips but the views were great and the support from the management company was great. Also we didn't like the four separate areas for the kitchen, living area and two bedrooms with plenty of steps up and down between them.

see title. couldn't eat outside

From the first contact, we were astonished of the great customer services provided by St. John Signature Villas. The level of service was excellent from dealing with our flight delays to providing support throughout our visit. The description of the property was true to form and all expectations met. We look forward to our next trip.
