Bethel Vista – Family-Friendly, Newly Updated, Amazing Views!

Great overall. Nicest place we have stayed at in a decade of visits to Saint John. Well situated, easy access to Cruz bay, and loved the community pool concept.

Online pictures had a king bed upstairs and when we arrived it was a living area with a Murphy bed. Great space, but not as pictured. It may work for some but would have a been a problem if we had another couple with us. (We were a group of seven). Our stay was interrupted by a 48 hour power outage for the entire island. Unusual in length but not in occurrence for St John. We were very surprised that a villa this size did not have a generator. If you wear a CPAP, as do two in our party, bring some sort of battery. Not having electricity we understand, but this meant not having water or being able to flush toilets for 48 hours. There did not appear to be a contingency for this. We went and bought bottled water and guest services eventually brought three gallons to us (remember seven people). We also “borrowed” water from the pool. There was no emergency kit that was stated on the check in list. We had one flashlight but no batteries. And only one bedroom had windows that opened which would have been nice when we didn’t have air. But we couldn’t utilize the nice breeze to cool down because the windows didn't open. All that said, the property itself is superbly maintained and has a wonderful westward view. We come to St. John a lot and this is probably the first area we would stay a second time in (albeit probably in another unit with a generator or power wall) The people of the island were wonderful as always even with the added stress of the power outage.

We loved Bethel vista and will definitely book again!

The property was just as it was listed. The house was conveniently located to the beaches and grocery store. The house was big enough for four teens and four adults to have their own space. The workout room and pool table was great for the older teens. We would stay here again!

We were very excited to have a week away with my brother and his family. They rarely vacation and we wanted to show the our love of St John. On paper this home was perfect. Enough rooms and bathrooms to accommodate the 8 of us, a property with a pool, bar and bistro were icing on the cake. Check in was fairly simple. A text was received with directions on getting in the home where we found a few notes & keys. We made a trip to the market before checking in but unfortunately we still needed to wiped down the fridge before loaded up our groceries. We also found quiets a few ants in the kitchen and sadly no cleaner or dish wrags were found. We had to use dish soap and paper towels. I also sweep and had there been a mop I would have used it as well. The bathrooms and bedrooms however were clean. Our first evening cooking we were rather surprised with the very well worn pans and the stove top was so warn it was hard to read the settings. The dishwasher also could use some TLC. The rollers were broke off so the spinner could not spin appropriately so we had to “rig” it a bit to work. Laundry detergent, dishwasher tablets, shampoo, conditioner and body wash were provided as well as towels for the pool, which was a very nice touch. Overall it was nice but could use some upkeep/updates.

Had a great stay. Close to town. Didn’t use pool or restaurant (very grouchy guy running restaurant/bar) To many options in town.

Great View, Great Location, Great Accommodation! We will stay here again next time. It's close to a couple of markets, 5 minutes from the downtown Cruz Bay area, and the club house and pool are a great option if you want to relax and enjoy the property and the great views. We will be back

Villa is located overlooking Cruz Bay. Sunset views are amazing! You are only a short taxi ride to downtown for restaurants and bars.

The property location and amenities were delightful and make a great jumping off point for a relaxing week on the lovely beaches of St John

The location was great. The views were very nice. Manager was helpful. The mattresses need to be updated.
