Private Resort Experience - Arcade - Gym - Pool
Nestled in on the southwest side of St. Thomas, Bakkero Villa delivers a unique combination of luxury, privacy, and proximity. From its west-facing perch, you are guaranteed sunset views 365 days a year from anywhere in the villa. Bakkero Villa is the only villa on St. Thomas that includes an arcade room, gym, and a Control4 System that allows you to control the whole villa from an iPad.
This 8,500 sqft home is designed to prioritize high-end comfort without losing the island’s natural magic. Every detail is intentional: an arcade room that keeps the kids (and competitive adults) entertained for hours; a fully equipped, personal gym with its own zen garden for yoga or meditation; a sun deck with a fire pit for starlit conversations; and a chef’s dream kitchen stocked with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. From the built-in outdoor grill to the pool deck lined with loungers, Bakkero Villa invites you to kick back and relax like you’re staying at your own personal Ritz Carlton.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Space Five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half baths that accommodate up to 15 adults and or 8 adults and up to 12 kids (see details below) make this villa ideal for groups of friends, multi-generational families, or anyone who likes having room to spread out. • Four king suites, with two primaries, each with its own ensuite bathroom, are spread across multiple levels for privacy. • A bunk room with three double bunks easily sleeps 6 teenagers/adults or up to 12 smaller children, also with its own ensuite. • One of the lower-level primary suites features a separate soaker tub for a spa-like retreat. Gathering spaces include a main living room with wraparound harbor views and a mini-bar. A dining area that flows into the professional-grade kitchen, and multiple outdoor terraces.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Amenities That Make Bakkero Stand Out • Pool heater included up to 88°F, though you’ll rarely need it • Arcade room with foosball, pinball, and Pac-Man • Full gym with free weights, cable machine, treadmill, and a zen garden for yoga or meditation • Infinity-edge pool with poolside loungers and a dedicated pool bathroom • Hot tub on the sun deck with a propane fire pit—perfect for sunset or stargazing • Built-in professional outdoor grill • Indoor kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, large island, and bar seating, a private chef’s dream • Tesla battery backup in addition to a generator for peace of mind

You’ll Be Close To
Family Fun Just minutes from the Pirate’s Museum, Children’s Museum, and the Sky Ride at Paradise Point. Less than six miles away, Coral World Ocean Park offers interactive marine experiences, from swimming with dolphins to walking under the water in a Sea Trek helmet.
Groceries & Provisions Pick up essentials at Moe’s Fresh Market in Yacht Haven Grande or make a short 12-minute trip to Cost U Less for larger hauls. If you want to skip the shopping, we can arrange for a local provisioner to stock the villa before you arrive so your vacation starts the moment you walk in the door.
Dining & Nightlife You’re just minutes from Havensite and Red Hook, two hubs for dining, drinks, and island nightlife. Go upscale for fresh seafood and craft cocktails, keep it casual with beach bars and pub fare, or start your day with a relaxed breakfast before heading out to explore.
Transportation Taxis and rental cars are both options here. We’re happy to recommend trusted providers for either. For the ultimate in stress-free island travel, we can arrange a dedicated daily driver. You’ll have the same driver throughout your stay, so you can forget about navigating left-side roads (especially after a couple of dinner cocktails).
Island Access • Yacht Haven Grande – 5 minutes away (ideal for yacht charters or combo land/sea vacations) • Cyril E. King Airport – 16 minutes away • St. John Ferry Terminal – 16 minutes away
Important to Note: * While the villa is completely private, you may encounter vendors who service the property like a pool tech, landcaper, or generator technician. They set their own schedules and do not provide notice. * Signing a rental agreement and providing a card via a secure processing platform called OwnerRez for a security hold of $2,000 is requirement to rent this villa. The hold goes into place 48 hours prior to arrival and will be released 5 days after departure as long as no significant damage is found. This is not a deposit, but a hold similar to what hotels do for incidentals.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Absolutely Amazing Experience
The property is stunning. When we walked in we felt like we were on a reality TV show. The decorations and style of the house were straight out of a magazine. On top of it all it was a smart home with an iPad that controlled all the things including music, AC and lighting in every room. All from a couple of centrally located iPads or you could also control them in each room. We had 13 people and easily the house could hold 10 more. Everything you can think of has been prepared and waiting for you in this house. The sunset views through the mountains and over the pool would literally stop us all each evening. We would gather around and watch the sunset over the oceans and mountains. Couldn’t ask for a better location, view or house. We will definitely be back. On top of all of that Hannah was an excellent host who was always just a text message away when we had any questions, however most any question was already addressed in the notebook by the front door. Thanks again Hannah!

Robertson Family Vacation
The house was tremendous! Kids loved the pool and hot tub as did the adults.Beautiful views in every direction.Kitchen was spacious and easy to prepare meals in. Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms had the best shower. Ended each night in around the outside fire pit. Also nice that the house is close to shopping ares. Only problem we had was with the indoor/ outdoor music. Overall we had a great week!

A Magnificent Home That Made an Amazing Vacation
My 10 family members visited St. Thomas for our winter break and stayed at Bakkero Villa and it was magnificent. The beautiful home was new and had every amenity seasoned travelers could ask for. The home layout was perfect and we all could be together in the great room or on the multiple decks with amazing views of St. Thomas, or be on our own whether in the well-equipped gym, game room, or simply walking outside the villa. It was walkable to the Westin so when we wanted to enjoy a resort meal we easily could. Savannah and Taylor our property managers were a text away and helped us navigate anything we needed and were attentive to all of our needs. We all give this villa 5-stars and look forward to coming back!
