view large image

  • In The Stars is nestled on top of the ridge. Drive around past the gated entrance with enough space to park up to 6 vehicles. Your next door neighbor is the VI National Park.
  • The multi-use great room is a free-flowing space designed around the view of Coral Bay centered through the floor to ceiling native stonework archway inspired by Caneel Bay’s turtle bay resort. The great room contains a dining room, living room serviced by a large open modern kitchen constructed of beam, stone and mahogany.
  • Enter the home through the spacious 20’ long kitchen, a chef’s and entertainers dream.
  • Well supplied and tastefully appointed -cypress cabinetry, granite counters, mahogany crown molding and breakfast bar, this kitchen is ideal for feeding and entertaining 2 or 20.
  • The dining room seats 8 and is adjacent to the kitchen, living room and screen gallery. Furnished with articles from the owners 50th birthday trip to Africa, In the Stars offers multiple dining and entertainment options on the main and pool level.
  • The 25’ wide, multi-use screened dining gallery seats 12 and allows everyone an uncompromising view of Coral Bay. A perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail, or after dark, to enjoy the tropical breezes and sounds of the island, in a comfortable bug-free area.
  • Private sundecks are on each side of the gallery overlooking the pool patio area and coral bay. Casual built in-seating and sun lounges are for enjoying the St. John weather with 6-8 people or morning coffee or a private spot to read and relax.
  • The comfortable living room has TV-cable with a 3-person sofa and 2 large chairs with an ottoman. Easy access to the kitchen makes this a great spot for enjoying popcorn and TV or after-hours reading of the book you’ve started and can’t put down.
  • Each bedroom has individual safes, closets, air conditioning controls, ceiling fans and full baths ensuite for privacy. This bedroom features a queen sized 4-poster bed.
  • Bedrooms are arranged for privacy and very spacious with vaulted 2- story cypress ceilings, air conditioning and direct access to large sun –decks.
  • Bathrooms have custom cabinetry of cypress, mahogany and teak, and handmade soaps - glycerin for the sinks, and exfoliating scrubs for the showers.
  • Linens are all high quality count sheets with pillowtop mattresses, furnishings are mahogany, cypress and teak. Arrangements can be made to make extralong twins shown here into a king bed for flexible sleeping arrangments.
  • On the other end of the main level, the second bedroom has 2 extra long twin beds that can be easily converted into a king.
  • The open-air loft above the great room is a spot to read, relax or play a board game away from the crowd. The queen bed and futon increases sleeping arrangements and has its own ½ bath.
  • Enjoy your own happy hour with access to a full kitchen within, or cook outside with the built-in BBQ grill. Accommodates large parties or intimate and private lush landscaping for 2-4 couples.
  • In The Stars primary entertainment and gathering spot is the 1000 sq. ft pool deck, with stairs into an 8x10’ common pool area connected to a 55’long lap pool.
  • The big attraction, by far, is the 55-foot lap pool extension that is wrapped along the front of the great room! The large L-shaped pool is sure to be a gathering spot for all.
  • Next to the pool, a slider leads into the lower livng level. The full kitchen is great for poolside snacks, and the nearby poker table (with cards and chips provided) converts to a bumper pool table for lots of fun away from the sun!
  • The poker table converts to a beautiful dining table. Slide open a window to hand a cool drink down to the lap-swimmer floating by.
  • Also on the pool level is a family room that is both spacious and comfortable. Bring your favorite tunes, movies or games, or rent them at the local video store in Coral Bay.
  • The family room has a TV, home theater with surround sound and outdoor speakers, CD, DVD and Sony Play Station.
  • A colorful and tropical bath.
  • The Magenta Room downstairs can be made up as 2-extralong twins or a king sized bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.
  • The 2 Pool Level bedroom suites are equally private, with separate A/C, safes and full-length closets for wedding/formal wear. Each has full baths w/ shower, painted by nationally known local artisans with tropical colors and faux designs.
  • In The Stars is a hidden gem on St. John. Backed by VI National Park land, privacy is yours. It's no wonder the owners have expanded In The Stars so even larger parties can enjoy its charm!

In the Stars is a spacious, quiet, comfortable and private home nestled next to the National Park in Coral Bay on the Majestic Mile of the Carolina Ridge top. Value priced for family or group vacations, In The Stars offers the unique opportunity to entertain large gatherings in comfort along with many private spaces for relaxing, retreating and revitalization. Enjoy the view and lap pool during the day, and at night the bright stars.

You will find many amenities to delight you at this beautiful property including an L-shaped swimming pool with a 50-ft lap swimming section, a game table with pocket pool capabilities on the lower level, two complete kitchens, DSL/Wi-Fi and much, much more.

    Erik C from Milwaukee, WI recommends this vacation rental

    Internet not working when we arrived Wednesday night. It was fixed the next day Thursday. Villa phones not working properly. Fixed the the following day Friday. Management helpful.
    Dishwasher leaking. General condition of property ok, although minor things lacking in condition, such as screens and screen doors. Turning area outside villa should be cleared of roots sticking out constituting a hazard for cars turning. View from villa great. Pool nice.

While we wished your stay was 100% flawless, we do appreciate the property manger’s efforts and most importantly -your patience while she got the Internet and Phones operational.

    In The Stars is a beautiful home in a great location. Some updating and repairs are sorely needed, but as a launching point for exploring St. John it's wonderful.

      Thanks so much for your feedback. We will inform the property managers of your comments and will contact you to get specific areas where improvements are suggested.

    Charles Z from Johns Island, SC recommends this vacation rental

    Some of the food items left behind could have been thrown away.
    The safes were not unlocked.
    Several of the porch chairs were not in good working condition.
    Overall we had a very good experience and would return.
    Nancy was very good, patient, and and helpful as was everyone at VI Rentals

    • Manager Responded on 2/26/2011

      Thanks so much for your feedback. We've informed the property manager for In the Stars and will see to it that the deck chairs are repaired and also ask that they look into the safe issue. No guests should not have access to a working safe. Again your feedback is very important to us. We will use it to ensure that the amenities at In the Stars are improved. The VIVA Villas Team

    Mark M from Waunakee, WI recommends this vacation rental

    We enjoyed our stay at In the Stars. We had a family of 5 and two grandparents, and this villa's layout with a lower level was perfect for the grandparents to have their own bathroom/kitchen set up with privacy. The property management was also excellent (fixed a problem with the wireless network within a few hours) and the pool deck and view down into Coral Bay was beautiful. The only negatives we found were: 1) the house is older and a bit rough around the edges; 2) the drive into upper Carolina is really hilly and gets a bit old after several days; and 3) the view to the northeast up the BVI's is completely obstructed by trees. Overall, I thought this was a decent villa.

    • Manager Responded on 11/30/2010

      Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at In the Stars. We agree that the pool and views at this villa are amazing as well as the fact that In the Stars has a unique layout which is perfect for larger families...everyone has tons of space here. We're glad that the temporary internet loss due to the wireless network was repaired quickly. St. John does have mountainous terrain and yes, it can get a little tiresome but the views certanly can make the journey worthwhile. We will also discuss your comments regarding the villa looking "rough around the edges" with the property manager as well as the trees. Thanks again for your feedback!

    a guest from Fayetteville, NY recommends this vacation rental

    Owners need to paint or tape lowest entry steps to prevent serious injury. Bottom post prevents good lighting at bottom stair landing and 3" first riser; I injured my knee & elbow before we applied duct tape markings. Otherwise, house was great, two very comfortable living spaces, very well-equipped kitchens, and very functional and enjoyable pool.

    • Manager Responded on 12/7/2009

      Thanks for your feedback. We will inform them to make that step more visable. In the Stars certainly is spacious and the pool is very nice. The VIVA! Team
