Luxury St. Croix Vacation Rentals by Rent A Villa

Rent A Villa is proudly owned and operated by Petan Corp, a trusted name in the travel industry since 1985. The company introduced the Rent A Villa brand in 1992, with a specialized focus on vacation villa homes. Just one year later, in 1993, Petan Corp and Rent A Villa were recognized for excellence and inducted into the Who’s Who Worldwide Registry/Platinum Business Edition—a distinction that still reflects their longstanding commitment to quality.

Vacation Villa Rental Expertise

As a company that has dedicated itself exclusively to villa rentals, Rent A Villa is not a property management firm nor part of a broad vacation services agency. This is their only business, and their entire focus is on providing guests with a carefully selected portfolio of luxury vacation villas. Their hands-on approach ensures clients receive knowledgeable recommendations and exceptional personal service, making villa selection a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Recognitions and Affiliations

Over the years, Rent A Villa has earned a reputation for excellence among travelers and industry professionals. The company was recommended by TripAdvisor and received a "Rated Excellent" status for four consecutive years, from 2011 through 2014. Rent A Villa is also a member of the St. Croix Hotel & Tourism Association and the Vacation Rental Managers Association. Additionally, the business maintains a listing with the Better Business Bureau in northern New Jersey, demonstrating transparency and reliability.

Personalized Service

What sets Rent A Villa apart is its boutique, personalized approach. Instead of trying to represent hundreds of properties, they have chosen to work only with a select few of the finest villas. This ensures quality over quantity and allows the team to offer truly tailored service. With no middlemen involved, their “Rent A Villa Direct” program connects guests directly with villa owners, combining convenience with trustworthy, expert assistance.

Island Homeownership Support

The owners of Rent A Villa fell in love with the island during their first visit in 1990 and soon purchased a home there themselves. Their passion for the destination naturally extended into helping others do the same. For clients interested in purchasing property, the company offers introductions to top local realtors and ongoing support through a trusted network of on-island professionals. Their community of villa owners provides real-world insights and referrals, making the transition to ownership smoother and more informed.
