Beyond our Expectations
5/5 ***** Stayed Oct 2020Lorraine C.Booked on Vrbo
Rarely does the hype you read about a holiday home match up to reality. Well this one does. An absolutely stunning location, very spacious, spotlessly clean, super comfortable with home from home little luxuries like high quality boom box and fridge treats on arrival. Truly breathtaking views from each bedroom and, oh yes, tons of snorkeling equipment and beach chairs etc. Need I go on? You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic home
5/5 ***** Stayed Jul 2020Angela M.Booked on Vrbo
Arco Iris is a beautiful million dollar+ home overlooking fish bay.
The only downside, the main area of the house did not have any air conditioning...so we all sweated pretty good while we cooked dinner and our guests didn’t want to hang out for very long because of the heat. The rooms were nice and cool. The pool is refreshing and the view is spectacular. Definitely would stay again.

Thank you so much for the nice comments and feedback. Jennie and I purchased Arco Iris in November 2018 and have been working on placing our touches and meaningful upgrades to the Property. . You will be please to know that we contract today to add A/C to the Main Living Area / Kitchen. Now 100% of the Villa has A/C and of course the outdoor spaces have the amazing Caribbean Breeze and pool! Thanks again and we look forward to having you and your guests stay again.

I live on St. John and rented this house for our family to come visit for a few days. This is a great location in a private neighborhood only 10 minutes from town. The house has everything you could ask for. We had a great experience and highly recommended your stay here.

A Wonderful Gem
5/5 ***** Stayed Feb 2020Bryan D.Booked on Vrbo
We came to St. John's to get married and we found Arco Iris. It is a beautiful property not far from Cruz Bay but far enough to be private. It was everything in the pictures and more. The sunrise was beautiful every morning from our deck, drinking coffee and star gazing at night was also perfect. All the extras from the beach chairs, towels, snorkeling gear were all high end and taken care of. James the property manager was great. We had a delay in St. Thomas in getting over to St. John's and he waited for us with out a problem. He also checked in periodically to make sure everything was good. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely stay here again.

Thank you Bryan for your nice comments and taking the time to share your experience. Jeff and I purchased Arco a little over a year ago and have been working hard to add special touches. So glad you noticed! Like you, one of our favorite things is having our coffee while watching the beautiful sunrise. Hope you will stay again!
Point Rendezvous has it all!

Beautiful property. Great amenities. Super clean and perfectly maintained. I have stayed at many properties over the 8 years of visiting St. John. This property ranks in the top few.

The property was clean and easily accessible from Cruz Bay! We loved spending mornings as a group on the porch!

Thank you James. Jeff and I love the mornings and watching the beautiful sunrise as well. Although the same spot in the afternoon watching the turtles in the bay below is a really close second! So glad you enjoyed St John and Arco Iris. It’s a special little island. Jennie
Arco Iris is wonderful
4/5 **** Stayed Jul 2019Pam M.Booked on Vrbo
We had a wonderful time at Arco Iris. We loved the layout of the home. The trade winds are absolutely wonderful! The road next to the house is a little noisy in the mornings. Other than that it’s perfect.

My family and I were very pleased with the Arco Iris. The home was just as described and exceeded our expectations. James, the property manager was a pleasure to work with and helped me plan other aspects of our trip with his wonderful suggestions. I would not hesitate to book this home again and my family and I look forward to returning and staying at the Arco Iris again!
"Absolutely" Loved the early morning Sunrises
5/5 ***** Stayed March 2019 M. Houdek
Just returning from spending 8 days at Arco Iris. “ABSOLUTELY” Loved the early morning Sunrises, like I’ve never seen before. The view of Fish Bay and the ocean never got old.
If you’re morning people like us, you’ll enjoy these gorgeous morning sunrises to start your day upon beautiful St John. There are a few short hikes you can take to the ocean from Arco Iris. (Parrot Bay, Klein Bay).
Communication from property Mgmt company and owners were great. We were well taken care from the property Mgmt company from day of reservation to arrival on the Island, and the escort to the property. They did a couple of follow ups a day or so later, to make sure all was good for us at Arco Iris. The place is beautiful, very roomy for the 4 of us, w/a bedroom to spare, *bonus* each having our own private bathrooms, with a 1/2 bath off the kitchen(very handy). The place was very clean and neat. We were grateful for the use of lawn chairs to take to the beach.
We made good use of the BIG overhang deck/porches on the main level, and lower level. We ate most of our meals outside on the upper deck, and even big enough to twirl in a dance move, and enjoy those beautiful warm Caribbean breezes.
Good location, given the beautiful natural rolling hills St John, it’s only a 10 minute drive from downtown Cruz Bay.
Look forward to returning next year to Arco Iris.
Spent an Amazing Week at this beautiful Villa

Spent an amazing week at this beautiful villa. Perfect to watch the sunrise over fish bay. Very comfortable for 3 couples or a family. Easy acces to cruz bay and north shore beaches. Gorgeous pool and landscaping. Couldn't ask for a better place to spend time on St John. We will be back!!!
Villa Arco Iris a great villa on the south shore of St. John
5/5 ***** Stayed Nov 2018 Mark S. (VRBO Review)
Our stay at Villa Arco Iris on St. John was a delightful experience . The villa is nicely appointed and offers a panoramic view of the Caribbean , Fish Bay and the 600 ft hills across the valley. There is usually a constant breeze as it faces the trade winds The bedrooms all face the view and have a private deck off each bedroom as well as spacious tiled decks facing the ocean view and trade winds . A short 9 min drive to Cruz Bay, 5 minutes to the nearest supermarket. and the famous N. shore beaches a few minutes more. We cant wait to come back to St. John and are looking to stay at Arco Iris.again! S.F.
Beautiful views and great place to stay!

Wonderful Vacation
5/5 ***** Stayed Jun 2018 (VRBO Reviews)
I first want to say Thank You to Mark with Seaview Homes. The correspondence with our family, and the welcome snacks and drinks were great! Also, we appreciate picking us up upon arrival, showing us around, and then to our villa. Arco Iris was a great rental. This is a perfect home for families with older children or multiple families as it offers privacy when needed. All rooms are private and detached from each other with its own bathroom while offering family time in the main area. We enjoyed our stay! This was our second visit to St. John. We recommend eating at Margarita Phil’s (or something like that haha). The food was amazing!!!!!
Wonderful place to stay
5/5 ***** Stayed Nov 2016 (VRBO Reviews)
This was a great "home base" for our vacation in St John. The three King Suites were perfect for the 3 couples traveling together. Everyone had privacy and the common living area was a great place to have coffee, breakfast, or gather for the evening. Spectacular view from every room. The open space floor plan enhanced our island experience. It was a short drive to Cruz Bay in a quiet neighborhood.
Home away from home!
5/5 ***** Stayed Jan 2016 LoriChicago, IL. (VRBO Reviews)
Thank you very much for such a lovely home to stay in while we spent a lovely week in St. John. We were guests and found this home beautiful. It's nice to have a pool with all the 'toys' for kids in the storage area.(if you have children) The family living area was spacious and we enjoyed all the patio doors opened with the island breeze coming into the home. The view of the bay is breathtaking. We enjoyed the shower in the 1st floor bathroom with the windows. What a way to shower...looking at paradise. The house was in perfect condition and the kitchen well stocked, even though we were out almost every meal. It was nice to know everything was there if needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable (A/C) and the closets were also spacious. There are family videos, beach towels and chairs, coolers, everything we needed was in this home. The drive to town and the beaches was an adventure...the roads are a real experience! But you really need a car/jeep to get around on St. John.The property manager was so friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure meeting her as she spent her day working on the computer internet connection. Thank you for helping us feel comfortable. Hope to stay there again in the future. It was wonderful. Your new friends from Cary, Illinois
Comfortable Villa and Great Location
5/5 ***** Stayed Apr 2013 TeresaPrince George, Virginia (VRBO Reviews)
We spent a week at this villa and found it to be very comfortable and clean. The location was great only a few miles from Cruz Bay yet tucked away in a great spot. The pool felt great in the afternoons. We were visited by an Iguana and many hummingbirds. The fruit trees were not producing at the time but the landscaping was beautiful. It was so nice sitting on the top balcony having coffee and watching the sunrise in the morning. We found Klein Bay nearby which was a rocky beach yet excellent snorkeling.
Only one drawback was no trade winds for a couple of days and the main living area got very warm. We retreated to the air conditioned bedrooms early those nights. There was another drawback....not enough vacation time in this wonderful villa! Loved our time in St John and want to return soon.
