There is a hidden Chapter dedicated to Shree Vaikuntha (Shree Vishnu-Loka) in Jagannatha-Mahatmya-Khanda of "Shree Brahma-Purana"!
In the text below I have united Sanskrit version from GRETIL (#link) and the English translation from the English edition of "Shree Brahma-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass. GRETIL and Motilal editions have a slight discrepancy in the Chapters enumeration: in the GRETIL Sanskrit edition the Chapter dedicated to Shree Vaikuntha is Chapter NO. 68, while in the Motilal English edition it is Chapter NO. 65. I am following to GRETIL NO. 68 enumeration in the below text.

"Shree Brahma-Purana", 68.1-3: "O Lord, we wish to hear about the World of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu (Shree Vishnu-Loka): the World which is devoid of sickness, is lovely, delightful to the people and full of mystery (wonders, miracles).
O Lord, mention the
magnitude of that World, its pleasure, its splendour and its power. By what holy rites do virtuous men go there? Is it due to the vision or touch of holiness or due to holy dips in the sacred waters of holy centres? Mention in detail and factually. We are greatly eager to hear this".

***Note by Vishnudut1926: This Chapter of "Shree Brahma-Purana" belongs to Shree Jagannatha-Mahatmya, so in this verse Shree Krishna = Shree Jagannatha, Shree Rama = BalaDeva (BalaRama) and Shreemati Subhadra-Devi = Shreemati Durga-Devi.
Shreemati Subhadra-Devi is Shreemati Durga-Devi, because:
भगिनीं वासुदेवस्य रुक्मवर्णां सुशोभनाम् तृतीयां वै सुभद्रां च सर्वलक्षणलक्षिताम् - bhaginIM vAsudevasya rukmavarNAM sushobhanAm tRRitIyAM vai subhadrAM cha sarvalakShaNalakShitAm - "Shree Subhadra-Devi is a Sister of Lord Shree Vasudeva" as "Shree Brahma-Purana", 50.46 says and
पद्मपत्त्राक्षि कात्यायनि नमो ऽस्तु ते - padmapattrAkShi kAtyAyani namo .astu te - "Shreemati Subhadra-Devi is Shree Katyayani (Shree Durga)" as "Shree Brahma-Purana", 57.58 says.

69. O brahmins, I do not behold any other world better than the Shree Vishnu-Loka! It is the cause of bliss and it bestows the desired benefits.
ये लोकाः स्वर्गलोके तु श्रूयन्ते पुण्यकर्मणाम् /
विष्णुलोकस्य ते विप्राः कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् // ६८.७० //

70. O brahmins, all those worlds which we hear as the worlds in the heavenly sphere, all those who perform meritorious rites, do not merit even a sixteenth part of Shree Vishnu-Loka!

71. Thus O brahmins is the Greatest Abode of Bhagavan Shree Hari endowed with all enjoyable pleasures and attributes. It is conducive to the pleasures of everyone. It is holy and full of mysteries (miracles).***
***Note by Vishnudut1926: Translated as "mysteries" in the English edition by Motilal Banasirdass, but the right translation must be "surprise or miracle or astonishment" as the original Sanskrit word is आश्चर्य - Ashcharya ("miracle, astonishment, surprise, wonder"). In the above verses 68.1 and 68.33 "Ashcharya" also must be translated in the same "wonder, miracle" vein.

74-77. After visiting Shree Krishna, Shree Rama (Shree BalaRama) and Shreemati Subhadra-Devi in this rarest of holy centres on the shore of the southern ocean (that Shree Jagannatha-Kshetra), excellent devotees cast off their bodies near the Kalpa tree.
Those men who die in the holy centre Purushottama go to Shree Vishnu-Loka. He who remembers Purushottama in between the baniyan tree and the ocean and those who die in Purushottama go to Shree Vishnu-Loka.
Thus, O excellent sages, the eternal World of Bhagavan Shree Vishnu, The Cause of bliss unto all, The Bestower of worldly pleasures and liberation (Bhukti and Mukti), has been mentioned by me.
