Know Before You Go...®

As one of the few six-bedroom villas on the island, Panache Villa delights with magnificent views and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. This villa is beautiful inside and out! Traditional stone tiling extends from a spacious living room out to a wonderful, breezy patio. Wicker chairs surround a granite countertop in the kitchen, and bold colors adorn the walls of the bedrooms - great for up to four couples. A gazebo is on the property for more private affairs, and a covered terrace, great for outdoor dining, overlooks a 30-foot swimming pool. Beyond the pool is a wonderful view of the tropical hillside, with colorful houses and more amazing ocean views. Best of all, Panache Villa is only 4 miles from Cruz Bay, where local island fare and nightlife can easily be found.

Spacious layout, great for families!

Panache Villa enjoys panoramic views of Rendezvous Bay and practically perfect design for any family vacation. Watch the sunrise over the eastern mountaintops, then spend the day on any of the numerous beaches near the villa.

Comfort is king at Panache, where guests can lounge and relax inside or out. Expansive decks complete with a dining gazebo and a 30-foot pool fill the back of Panache’s spacious property, and every nook enjoys ocean views. There are several dining and lounging spots throughout the deck for individual moments or family celebrations. Nearly every archway in the Great Room frames the sea, and the decor is warm as the island sun. Guests can watch movies on the flatscreen TV, read books in the cushy armchairs, or enjoy feasts around the dining table without sacrificing views. The gourmet kitchen is well-equipped for any feast with stainless steel appliances, an extended breakfast bar, a blender, a toaster oven, and a coffee maker.

Panache is one of the only six-bedroom villas on St. John, and its rooms are separated across multiple levels for maximum privacy. Adjacent to the Great Room, there is a master suite with a king bed and a second sleeping area. The master suite enjoys exterior access, an ensuite bathroom, and a twin trundle that can be made up as a second king bed. This works great for families with young children or a couple, since the second sleeping area closes off entirely from the master bedroom and the main living area. A few steps across the patio from the main house, there’s a two-story guest cottage with three bedrooms. The queen suite, king suite, and twin suite each have a private bathroom and balcony. A staircase from the pool deck leads down a path to the final two bedrooms, both with interior and exterior access. Both the queen suite and king suite enjoy private bathrooms, and there’s also a daybed for extra children.

Panache Villa enjoys peaceful, private surroundings and convenience to Cruz Bay and the North Shore beaches. This comfortable villa provides great value for an unforgettable family vacation. There’s a snorkeling reef at the nearby beach, about a five-minute drive from the villa.

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

We could have not asked for anything better for our stay. We had 9 guest and everyone was happy with our choice to stay at Panache. The pool was absolutely wonderful. All rooms were very nice, clean and cool. My next stay on St. John will be at Panache Villa again.

Very easy to work with Jean. Jean makes your stay very easy when booking with her. Jean helped with any needs we had before heading down.

Vacay in Paradise

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Words can’t express our stay at Villa Panache! The views are incredible. We started each day with a breakfast fit for champions(The kitchen is remarkable). After a long day at the beach we would gather on the pool deck to talk about everything that happened and enjoy a bbq. The Villa was perfect for our 2 families which included 8 young adults. Everyone had their own separate bedroom and bath which made getting ready for dinner very easy.

Shawna was remarkable!!! Our vacation which was planned in Nov 20219 but didn’t happen in 2020 thanks to Covid for well worth the wait in 2021. She was a pleasure to work with!

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Our family of five, plus my parents, stayed at Panache Villa for five nights. The home is lovely, clean, has a great kitchen and amazing views! We appreciated the welcome snacks and the toiletries in the bathrooms, and the kitchen has everything you need; an abundance of dishes, cookware, utensils, even spices! There were plenty of beach bags for groceries and the beach, two coolers and beach chairs. The best thing about this house are the views. They are AMAZING!! We were comfortable, really enjoyed the house and had a great time there!

Shawna is great!! She’s very friendly and professional, and regularly communicated with us to make sure we had everything prepared for our arrival. She was quick to answer any questions we had and was very helpful. We loved working with her on this rental!

Even better than the photos!

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Villa Panache was a wonderful fit for our family group of 7 adults - the property is well laid out, comfortably furnished, and beautiful to look at. I loved the Mexican tile floors everywhere, and the views are gorgeous. It was everything the photos showed, and then some!

Shawna was exceptionally responsive and also proactive in providing information and asking what optional stuff we might want. I’ll go to her again for another trip to St John :)

Need to upgrade the AC in the lower level

star star star star empty-star

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Great villa except the air handler in the lower level is undersized for the space according to the technician who came out when we called to have it checked. Never got below 77. Probably not as big a deal during winter months, but we stayed in August when the days get pretty hot and humid. Except for this issue, the villa served our group of 13 very well.

Working with Shawna and WheretoStay was Excellent.

This was a great house with a great view.

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Five of us stayed at the Panache Villa, and were all entranced by the lovely view. 

At night, sitting on the deck looking up at the stars was wonderful with the cool breezes. 

The house was super - older, but well maintained. Having AC throughout was important to us, but a couple of the wall units were more than noisy, and had the musty/damp smell. 

This was our first time in St. John, and one week truly was not long enough to explore everything. They had excellent snorkeling!

They had exceptional views.

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Panache is an older, beautifully maintained villa that is very well equipped. Because of its age, it has a first class spot looking over Rendevous Bay. 
It is difficult to find an all AC villa with a heated pool, but Panache has both.  The bedrooms are just about equal. However, there is a one-bedroom with a little adjoining room (used for younger children) in the main house, which has a splendid great room with huge doors that open out to that terrific view.

The other bedrooms are across the veranda, and are in a separate building via staircases. They are very private from one another, but would not be suitable for young children (too far away). Teens or other couples would find the privacy a plus.

There is a self contained apartment under the pool deck via a staircase. The only drawback (at this date) was the dated little old TV in the great room.  There was no cable while we were here. However, there was a DVD player. There were no TVs in any bedrooms, either.

The outdoor shower wasn’t really outdoors. It just connected to a very narrow alley. Ask to have the pool heater started before you get there. It took a day to get comfortable, even though this is an all-day sundeck.

If this property had a hot tub and better TVs, I would rate it a “5”. This our 19th trip to St. John.

We enjoyed our July 2008 St. John vacation at Panache Villa.

Panache Villa, St. John villa review

Everything was great - the staff, the villa, the island and the weather. The whole vacation went off without a hitch.

We will contact Andrew Macafee at wheretostay.com to plan our trip next year. One week on St. John is not long enough!
