Casa YaYa boasts stunning views, indoor/outdoor living and the perfect location!

Look no further than Casa YaYa for your perfect St. John retreat. The moment you enter, the view will take your breath away. Casa YaYa boasts one of the prettiest views on the island. Located on the western hillside overlooking beautiful Coral Bay, we’re located in a quiet area with wonderful breezes and full sun until mid to late afternoon. If privacy is what you desire, this is the villa for you.

If you ever decide to come inside, the comfort and décor will envelop you and have you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. This one level villa is unique for its large 10-foot-high openings along the entire east side allowing beautiful sunshine and cooling breezes to invade the villa. The view from each room is unparalleled. It boasts a large great room and kitchen. The two master bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the great room for maximum privacy. Each air-conditioned master bedroom features a king-sized bed and affords the same spectacular view as the great room. Both bathrooms have outdoor showers that are highly desired in this tropical climate.

The roomy loft is open to the great room during the day but has a room-dividing curtain that you can close at night to enhance privacy and allow the AC to keep the loft nice and cool. There are two bunk beds (twin over twin w/ a twin trundle, and a twin over full) allowing up to 6 to sleep in total AC comfort. Please note: the loft is accessed by a barn-style ladder not a staircase and is not recommended for younger children or older adults. This set-up makes Casa YaYa perfect for two families.

Enjoy the privacy that this villa has to offer while lounging in the crystal blue waters of the 20x12x5 pool. Sunbathe on the spacious sun deck. All of this is possible as you take in the view of Coral Bay, Tortola and the Sir Francis Drake Passage to Virgin Gorda. Don't forget to watch the sunrise and moonrise which are visible from every room in the house.

Casa YaYa has a gated driveway, beyond which offers a garden rich with native plants and many different species of palm trees.

Located in Coral Bay, where many of the locals choose to live, we are in close proximity to comfortable island dining whether you are looking for the very casual to more upscale. Situated perfectly between the quieter eastern beaches and the world-famous north shore beaches, Casa YaYa is only minutes from each. Hiking trails abound and are also only minutes away. A night out in Cruz Bay, dining and shopping, is just a short (but curvy) 25-minute drive on island roads where speeds are rarely over 20 miles per hour. The island is two-thirds National Park land and therefore protected from over-development.

Completely rebuilt and refurnished following hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Casa YaYa is one of the nicest properties on the island located in one of the best spots.

Casa YaYa will not disappoint and will leave you dreaming of your return!

We now offer a rental truck as well for an additional fee. A custom-built Toyota Tundra with 4WD and an automatic transmission offers seating for up to 6 in the interior and another four seats in the bed of the truck. These seats are bolted to the frame, have seat belts and a covered canopy overhead. This is the perfect beach vehicle for St. John and allows passengers to fully embrace our warm climate and incredible views. Let us know if you are interested in booking our truck (separate contract and payment).

Our on-Island Coordinator and Staff will ensure that your stay is comfortable and that your needs are met.

**ALL RATES ARE BASED ON FOUR PERSONS. THERE IS A FEE OF $25/PER NIGHT/PER ADDITIONAL GUESTS.

No refunds will be issued after 30 days prior to your arrival day. You may receive a full refund if you cancel 60+ days from the start of your reservation. You may receive a 50% refund if you cancel between 60 and 30 days out from the start of your reservation.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Stunning views highlight perfect vacay home
First, the views are amazing. Rising with sun or laying down at night is a complete sensory experience when you are outside. The roosters crowing in the morning or the frogs singing to the moon complement what is perfect tropical island vista. The inside of the house is comfortable, clean, and has all the household items you need when traveling this far away. The laundry machines helped make sure the family could pack light. Gated entrance completes the feel of returning to an oasis. Family is already asking when we can go back to Casa YaYa!

Amazing vacation
We spent 5 wonderful days at Casa Yaya with our friends and their family from college. We had kids ranging from 3-10 with us. They absolutely loved the pool, and the view had to be one of the best on the island. We definitely recommend renting the truck as well. It was so nice for all 9 of us to be able to fit in one vehicle. Jeff was very responsive with questions we had and coordinating our arrival and departure. This vacation was one for the books and one that our kids will remember forever!

Love This Property!
The first thing you will notice is the fantastic view of Coral Bay, but there is so much more to love about Casa Ya Ya. The proximity to restaurants and stores, the patio and pool, the kitchen with every appliance/accessory you need...I could go on and on. The owners and the on-island crew are helpful and available whenever you need something. This was our second time at this property and we can't wait to come back.

Better than great!
Fantastic views. Adventurous. Quiet and Relaxing. Great island food. Adrenaline filled island driving in 2nd gear😁. Amazing free snorkeling and beaches. One wish we all could keep a secret for as long as possible. Ha! Two masters with outdoors showers were fitting. A/C in the bedrooms was a luxury. Pool with maybe the best view in the island. Massive sun deck. All the amenities you need. Definitely rent a jeep or the yaya truck. Only thing I would caution is the loft ladder setup is probably good for 8yrs and older. Probably not something a 5 yr old would use. But once in the loft it’s a great space for kids/teens. And also has the A/C. My kids were all 10 or older so it was fine.

Fantastic House!
We had the very best week at Casa YaYa. The pictures truly do not do it justice. The house itself is clean, comfortable and very well stocked with everything from kitchen items to beach toys. The outside area is also great -gorgeous pool, very comfortable outdoor furniture and million dollar views. Jeff, the owner, was very responsive as well. The only thing that was a bit of a challenge was the loft- it’s definitely a very steep ladder and then hopping over the opening to the loft at the top. We made it work with the two downstairs bedrooms just fine, but if that’s not an option for your group it’s just something to keep in mind, but in no way diminished our week. Would absolutely recommend a stay at Casa Yaya!

This home and view is even more amazing than the pictures ! Casa YaYa is truly a taste of paradise. The home was immaculate, and very well stocked in the bathrooms, and kitchen. Jeff did an amazing job of making sure everything was taken care of for us, and gave us many helpful suggestions during the time we were there as far as the best beaches to go to (since it was a little bit windy), the best restaurants near the airport, and sites to see. We will definitely be back !

Unbelievably Gorgeous
We had such a lovely week. The view from every room plus the balcony…the house had everything we could possibly need. We cooked nearly every meal and have no complaints about the equipment including grill, knives, even a steamer for our veggies. House had all the beach equipment including snorkel gear. The market at the bottom of the hill had better, fresher groceries than anywhere else on the island. Couch was comfortable for our nightly family movie- that is also rare in VRBO stays. Beds were comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. I did yoga every morning on the deck. Communication with hosts and management was perfect. Would recommend this amazing house to everyone. (Maybe not small children as the pool is open and the loft is up a steep ladder) But perfect for our family. Hope to return!

Great Value!
Reasonable rates for a beautiful place on top of the quiet side of the island. The truck rental was a great value add, especially with the airport pickup/dropoff. Jeff (the host) was super responsive to any and all questions we had, including some great recommendations on restaurants and charters. Still one of my favorite places to visit and I'm sure we'll be back!

Lived up to expectations; great rental!
Great stay at Casa YaYa with our family of 5 (children; 12, 10, 6). St John is a fantastic island to explore new beaches daily. PROS: -Breathtaking views. Spectatular sun rises and shade in the afternoon. Nice pool, new outdoor furniture, great lounge chairs & hammock swings. Cool telescope! -Comfortable beds & pillows. Clean, tons of hooks for towels. AC sleeping was great, cooled fast, so you can leave off otherwise. -Fully stocked kitchen. Every spice you could want. Don't shop first or you may be buying duplicates. -House had extra sunscreen, bug spray, defogger, lotion, shampoo, books, etc. Take some, leave some. -TONS of brand new puzzles, games, activities. Kids & adults loved this. -Multiple beach chairs, every snorkel size and fit, fins, coolers, etc. If you forget anything, or choose not to bring, you'll still be set. -Nice attention to detail; "Casa Yaya" bags, travel cups, koozies, stocked welcome bar, etc -Great family room set up with sectional couch, tables, and tasteful style (old door for dining table, fun artwork, etc). -Kids loved the open-air truck. Decent gas mileage (1 tank/week and we drove a ton). Great rental price. -Owner kindly adjusted dates due to Hurricane at no cost CONS: -Access is one-lane drive with a steep gated driveway hard to turn around in, but possible! -Upstairs loft not suitable for small children, slightly angled ladder access -Power outages may affect your stay, communicated in advance. Not all restaurants open/low season

Absolutely Stunning!!
This was our first trip to St John and our stay at Casa YaYa made for an amazing time! We loved the VIEWS, location, amenities, cleanliness, landscaping, sunrises that greet you from the bedrooms and porch, relaxing in the pool, outdoor showers and the responsiveness of the owners and staff. Our family of 7 (grandparents, parents and 3 teenagers) stayed for 9 nights. The villa had everything we needed (towels, spices, kitchen well appointed, soaps, paper products, trash bags, coolers, beach chairs, snorkel gear, clips to hang wet clothing, games, books). We rented a Jeep elsewhere as well as the Casa YaYa truck for flexibility in traveling all together or splitting up. We spent the majority of the time traveling all together in the truck which made for great adventures for the kids and grandma riding in the open back. Casa YaYa has easy access to groceries, restaurants and beaches and the layout was perfect for our group with the adults on opposite ends and the kids in the loft. We highly recommend Casa YaYa. Thank you Jeff and Maria for sharing your beautiful villa with us.

Caribbean in July
My family of 4 with two teens stayed at Casa YaYa for 8 nights in early July. The property is wonderful!! A spacious, clean villa, in a quiet location with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plus plenty of beach gear-coolers, chairs, snorkel equipment. The view is better than the pictures, 180 degree plus view of Coral Bay and the BVIs - seen from both bedrooms, kitchen and living space. Patio is huge and the pool was perfect. Always a tropical breeze that carried throughout the home. My daughter loved the loft space. A few restaurants and groceries just down the hill. Quick drive to famous North shore beaches. Communication from Jeff and on island staff was spot-on. Using the properties truck made the transition from St Thomas to St John very easy, no rental car lines or taxi headaches. Lots of cool photos and vids from my kids experiencing the ride in the back - pretty much the whole trip. (Minor suggestions by family members- a few more towels perhaps and another flat screen for evening streaming versus using laptops) As a whole, a great first time Caribbean and St John experience in an awesome villa. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jeff, Maria, Rick, Pauline and Taylor.

This was our second visit to Casa Yaya. The view from the patio (with pool and dining area) is unbeatable. The air conditioning kept the bedrooms nice and cool. Two of the bedrooms are on the main living level of the house. A loft area (accessible by a ladder) is perfect for kids. We love the Coral Bay area of the island. It isn’t crowded, there are restaurants and a few grocery markets, and so many great natural areas.

Fantastic Villa ! Fantastic Stay!
We spent two weeks at this fantastic villa and will book again. The views are more beautiful than pictures here! It was a pleasure working with Jeff and the on-island crew - their communication was perfect! The airconditioning in the bedrooms was great. Also, the angle of the villa is perfect so that the tradewinds cool the house very welll. The villa is nicely set up with two well separated master suites so we had plenty of privacy. We loved the villa. Indeed it is very well stocked. In addition to a well-stocked kitchen, we appreciated all of the pool toys, coolers, snorkel equipment and beach towels. It might be nice to have a couple more bath towels and perhaps some extra soap for each bathroom, but we were there for two weeks and this is very, very minor and we didn't ask for more, we were just fine. We loved the morning sun and appreciated that in the afternoon the pool was not in full sun - especially after a full day at the beach! The pool was plenty warm for us. Jeff also gave us recommendations for jeep rental, grocery provisioning and boat charter (as well as resturants and beaches). All of his recommendations were excellent and really helped make our trip very smooth and relaxed. The road to Villa was fine - steep the first time and fun and easy after that. We thought that the Villa was nicely located to everything we needed and wanted - beaches, resturants, grocery store, ice cream :-) What more can I say other than it was perfect! Thank you!!

This was our 4th trip to St John and our first visit to Casa Yaya. The view is amazing and can't be beat. Incredible sunrises! We traveled with our 4 kids and extended family. Outdoor area was great, and the villa is well-stocked with games, beach equipment, etc. (anything you would need during your stay). We love the Coral Bay side of the island. We find it quieter but still has a lot of great eating options, grocery, and a quick drive to the north shore beaches.

The View.....!!!!!
Spectacular, and definitely the biggest "pro" of this property. The others are a kitchen that is well equipped and stocked including spices. It was also nice to have a separate beverage fridge. Coolers, chairs, beach towels and lots of snorkel equipment were provided. The property layout was perfect for two couples. The owner was great about communication before and during our stay. Unfortunately, a "con" was the communicaton with property manager on island, making our arrival after a very long day of travel quite stressful. Smaller irritations were a maintenance issue with the grill, and an extremely squeaky bed in the north bedroom. Our biggest issue was the cold pool. We simply were not able to use it as we had hoped and would have to give careful consideration to paying the premium a pool property comes with when we return to St. John. As much as we liked everything else here, we would look for a property where the pool was not on the east (shade in afternoon) side.
