We had a great visit at St John thanks to Julie and Jack. Their home is in a great location for hiking and snorkeling on the island. The view from the porch is amazing. You have to try some of Julie's home cooked meals - they are so good! Everything was so clean and nice. We can't wait to return!

This is a beautiful location. Beautifully view of the sunrise every morning. There are some roosters near by, but you couldnt hear them until you come out of the bedroom. Check in amd out were smooth. The owners live in the building so they are there if you need anything. It was wonderful that they had chairs, snorkeling gear and coolers so youbdidnt have to rent any of it at the beaches.

We enjoyed breakfast on the beautiful verandah and visiting beaches all over the island. Coral Bay was a convenient location with easy driving access to the north and east ends of the island, plus there is a restaurant and grocery store nearby. Julie arranged for a taxi to and from the ferry dock, and renting a Jeep from Jack was easy. We appreciated the beach gear, washing machine, and a good stock of baking pans (since we did some Christmas rolls).
The thing we would suggest is a more comfortable mattress that doesn't creak so much.

Staying at Jack and Julie’s was a dream come true!
Jack and Julie are very knowledgeable about all of the ins and outs about the island, and provide you with information on everything you would need to know, including driving directions, best places to shop and eat, and the best beaches and hiking spots!
The Jeep Liberty available for rent is a huge plus, and for drastically cheaper than other vehicle rental options we found on the island. Jack keeps the Jeep in immaculate order, and is always ready to respond to any problems that may happen.
The property itself is gorgeous, with a view overlooking Coral Bay straight out of a postcard. Every room was very clean, and we were provided with enough supplies to last our entire stay.
Another plus is all of the beach supplies you may need are included. From snorkels to beach chairs to beach umbrellas, the ease of having everything you need (along with saving money from not having to rent it) is a huge convenience.
Jack and Julie’s place is THE place to rent on St John. 5 stars in every category, and definitely recommend Julie’s cooking! Try the Asian Flank Steak, you won’t be disappointed!

Great spot in Coral bay in a very clean and well maintained property. Hosts Julie and Jack were fantastic. Not my first trip to St. John, but it was nice to have a suggested plan of how to enjoy your stay with good food and play suggestions from their personal experiences. Everything you need is provided in the unit and there are a couple well stocked markets within walking distance. Porch was great for relaxing and taking in Coral bay in the evenings with nice breeze. Thanks you again Julie and Jack.

Julie and Jack were fantastic. They were great hosts, willing to share all the great little places on the island to hit up. The property had an amazing view of the bay, was close to restaurants, and was a short drive to phenomenal beaches and hikes. We will definitely be staying here again for our next visit.

We had an incredible stay at Julie and Jack's. Julie and Jack were fantastic hosts, providing us with all the necessary information to explore the beautiful St.John VI National Park island. We highly recommend taking advantage of their services, including jeep rental and beach gear. Their reusable water bottles and filtered water were such a savings and environmentally conscious in a place where plastic is a problem.
The moment we arrived, Julie and Jack catered to our every need, from providing large beach towels to recommending the best spots to snorkel and hike. Don't miss visiting the National Park office in Cruz Bay for snorkeling tips.
Julie's grouper almondine was a delightful dinner, served hot upon our arrival to paradise.
The hose at the entrance made it convenient to rinse off the sand after a day at the beach, and their well-appointed kitchen allowed us to prepare our meals easily. The space truly felt like a home away from home.
We loved the peaceful evenings, complete with the charming company of goats and donkeys wandering under the moonlight. The presence of chickens and roosters in the yard added to the relaxing ambiance in the morning, and the bedroom's air conditioner drowned out any noise.
We immensely enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return. Jack even took us on a drive and shared valuable insights on driving on the left side of the road. Thanks, Julie and Jack, for making our visit unforgettable!

Everything about our trip exceeded expectations. Jack and Julie provided a wealth of information, and all the necessities for a phenomenal beach trip. Location, view, amenities, and hospitality were exceptional. Ideal way to experience the beautiful island of St. John!

Great location, easy access to local markets and beaches. No stairs or rough roads to the villa. Nice and clean! Friendly and informative villa owners. Nice view of coral bay from the large deck. Would recommend renting a jeep from the owners. Super easy. And the AC in the bedrooms is fantastic!

We had such a wonderful time at Jack & Julie's place!
They communicated all of the ferry information beforehand so we'd know where to go and had a taxi waiting at the ferry dock to take us to the condo. It was pouring rain when we arrived - Jack met us at the taxi with umbrellas and helped us get into the condo.
The condo itself was lovely. Everything you could need in the kitchen, eating areas both inside and outside, comfy beds with cold A/C, and a swing that overlooks Coral Bay (incredible sunrise!). One of the best things was being able to drink the tap water - it's triple-filtered and honestly better than some bottled water. We were able to save so much money on water during our stay!
All of the extras that Jack & Julie provided really helped make it a relaxing vacation. They provide beach towels, chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and snorkel gear - so awesome! And, of course, Julie's homemade bread for breakfast was just the icing on the cake - so so delicious.
Jack & Julie are the nicest folks, and their place was such a lovely place to stay. 10/10 recommend!

We immensely enjoyed our stay at Jack and Julie’s beautiful Coral Bay hideaway. It’s perfectly located in the heart of Coral harbor area. If you’re lucky enough to stay here, be sure to order room service. Julie is an amazing chef. Our favorite meal of the trip was her Caribbean lobster spaghettini!

This was me and my husband's second time to stay on this beautiful property. We brought my daughter and in-laws this time and stayed for 13 days since my in-laws are older and we wanted them not to feel rushed. Now they understand why we love it so much. Julie and Jack are absolutely amazing and are always available to give you tips and advice. They make you feel like family. Julie's food is absolutely amazing and it is nice to come home to after a long day exploring the island. We love everything about this place.

We had a great stay! It is equipped with everything needed to enjoy all the beautiful beaches! From beach towels and chairs to coolers and ice packs. We took advantage of renting the jeep and had a great time going all over the island! Being picked up and dropped back off at the ferry dock made the process so much easier. Thanks for a great vacation

Travelled with our best friends and had an excellent/relaxing visit. We absolutely loved St. John and visiting this national park. Would love to visit here again!

My wife, daughter and I had a great time over our 7 day/ 6 night stay. The unit was a perfect size for the 3 of us. One of the beds squeaked terribly making it a challenge to get up to the bathroom in the middle of the night without waking my wife, but was otherwise comfortable. Both rooms had AC, but the island breeze was all we needed to stay cool at night. Julie prepared a meal for us that she served upon our arrival which was amazing! Jack gave us the best rental experience one could ask for, both with the Jeep(s) and with the beach/snorkeling gear.
The week went by fast and we were sad to leave, but take comfort in knowing that we have a great place to return to next time.

We absolutely love this property and the owners, Jack and Julie. You will not find a better place to stay. Julie is a master chef and will cook delicious meals for you any night you want. You can rent a Jeep from them at a very reasonable cost and it is there at the property when you arrive. They will arrange a taxi for you upon arrival and departure. This property has a gorgeous view of the bay and is within walking distance to local restaurants and grocery stores. We have been coming here for four years for at least two weeks at a time and can’t wait to come back!
5.0
The kitchen, bedrooms, living room and veranda were all terrific. The view from the veranda is just like you see in the pictures on VRBO. We loved watching the goats, donkeys and chickens and also really enjoyed the nearby restaurants. The 4 nearby food markets were "collectively" well stocked and provided everything we were looking for. Julie and Jack were wonderful hosts -- so helpful and lots of ideas on beaches to visit and hikes to take. We already signed up for 2024!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay hosted by Jack & Julie over Thanksgiving. They had everything we needed to make our stay easy & memorable (snorkeling gear, beach towels, sun & rain umbrellas, coolers, even metal water bottles!). Drinking water on the island all comes from rain water, so it was nice to not pay for bottled water everywhere (the airport doesn't even have a drinking fountain!). We took advantage of their jeep rental, which was a great price & the 4WD was important even on some of the main roads when it rained (rained at some point almost everyday!). Their recommendations (even provided a 5-day plan for our 5-day trip including restaurant recommendations!) were perfect & made my job as trip organizer sooo much easier. They even invited us to join them for their Thanksgiving celebration with the Coral Bay locals on the private beach; so sad we already had a dinghy rented & couldn't join them. That would have REALLY made for fun memories! Driving around the island doesn't take long & we enjoyed the relative quiet on the east side of the island. Can't recommend Coral Bayview enough!

Our hosts Julie and Jack are experienced, thoughtful and respectful making our stay with them the perfect experience. My husband and I stayed in the studio for the first two weeks and then moved upstairs to the 2 bedroom when our daughter and son in law arrived. Both places were tastefully but practically set up with attention to details so that you have everything you need for your stay and your visits to the beaches. Renting the jeep from Jack for the three weeks was a good decision and very convenient. All four of us loved everything about our time there, we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.

Awesome Stay
Our stay was so relaxing! Coffee in the morning and evening drinks on the extensive wrap around covered porch was our favorite place. The hosts, Julie and Jack were awesome!! They were very informative and quick to respond to questions/needs. The property looks better in person than online, has everything you need for a day at the beach. Renting a jeep from the hosts was a HUGE plus!! Jack was a wealth of information with driving on the island and Julie is a superb chef. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We will be back!!

Wonderful winter getaway location
Had a wonderful stay. Jack and Julie are wonderful hosts. They were available if we needed them but gave us our privacy otherwise. We had Julie prepare 2 dinners and 2 lunches and they were outstanding. She provides everything for your meal and even comes and picks up dishes/silverware. We enjoyed coffee on the covered porch every morning and loved hearing the chickens and goats. Would definitely stay again.

Location was perfect but...
Positives: Overall, it was a great trip. We would return to this property because of its “perfect” location. The view was perfect; the sunrises were amazing & we loved hearing the roosters crowing throughout the day/night (sound machines available), & seeing the goats/chickens wandering in/out of yards. The beds/bedrooms were comfortable/clean with plenty of storage. The bathroom was nice & included a washer/dryer. There was plenty of seating/space for 4 people. The convenience of renting a Jeep on site was a huge benefit & the house had a lot of extras for exploring/enjoying the island life, like coolers, beach towels, chairs, water bottles, ice packs. The hosts/manager's apartment was adjacent to ours (we shared an interior wall) & they made themselves available to us via texting. Also, Jack, very chivalrously, mailed us some items that were left behind on the taxi, which was very much appreciated!
Disappointments: Considering, Julie (host) touted herself as a “chef” (who “pushed” her catered meals), we were dissatisfied with the minimally stocked kitchen with poor quality utensils/cookware & only salt & pepper in the way of spices for cooking. (We also run a Short Term Rental--guests leave behind lots of interesting spices, which we leave for the next guests!) As far as cleanliness goes, the house was relatively clean, but the fan blades needed attention & there was a funky smell under the sink & in the dishwasher. We bought white vinegar to douse these areas & it helped a bit.
Hosts/Prop Managers: Jack/Julie share the duties of host/manager but evidently, passing messages on to each other seemed to be a burden. Julie is a very high-strung & tense individual & Jack is a laid-back & peaceful sort of man. We got the impression that Julie “ran the show” & there was such tension between this couple that it made our stay a bit uncomfortable. At one point in the week, we could hear Julie screaming at Jack through our living room wall for about 15 minutes straight. It was very unsettling to witness. Lastly, upon check-out, our security deposit was returned in an envelope with a note that said that we could leave a tip if we wanted to show our appreciation to Julie (which we assumed was for the one catered meal that we ordered?). We did not feel a tip was necessary because we felt like $64 for 2 meals--teriyaki chicken/salmon, plain white rice, miso soup, & a few roasted vegetables, was more than enough to include a tip.

Delightful Stay
Starting and ending our days on the wrap-around veranda was so relaxing. A gentle breeze was usually flowing up from the harbor below. We found the place well equipped, and ate in several meals, when not visiting some of the local restaurants. We also had our host Julie prepare a wonderful scallop dinner from her room service menu. Renting a Jeep on-site from Jack was so convenient. Both of them provided us any local knowledge we needed,

- Open the windows and welcome the sea breezes
- Order fabulous Chef Julie-made meals
- Pack your Jeep early in the morning with a picnic, beach chairs and towels, umbrellas, coolers
- Read a book in the porch hammock chair after your beach day or hike
- Watch the sailboats sail out then return to the harbor.
All of these pleasures can be experienced without leaving the property THANKS to the care and professionalism that hosts Jack and Julie pour into Coral Bayview. We will be back!

Beautiful
The property is exactly as described. AC in each bedroom for when you just need time to cool down. Everything that you need is in the kitchen and if you run out of something, Julie and Jack are available almost immediately (they do have to walk around the house to get to you after all). The view was beautiful and there was enough furniture to sit on (both in the living room and the dining area). We couldn't have asked for more.

Perfect Getaway
We had a great vacation here! Every morning we sat on the swing and enjoyed the view of the bay. The use of their rental car was fantastic! They provided us with everything that we needed to make our vacation on the island perfect; snorkel gear, umbrella, maps, towels, and floats. We really enjoyed the quiet, low-key location of Coral Bay. The hosts were informative and available. The house was clean and cozy and well stocked with every kitchen utensil you could need. We want to someday make our way back to St. John and would love to stay here again.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Coral Bay very much. They views were fantastic and the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. A major perk to this apartment is Julie’s home cooked dinners. We had 3 different meals and they were all fantastic. Both Jack and Julie were greats hosts. They always had a quick response to any question we had. We hope to be back soon

What a great place to stay to experience St John. The property was clean, spacious and set up perfectly for our family of four. The value of the property is outstanding, the price versus what the property offers is perfect. Julie offers a room service special for dinner which is outstanding and very convenient after spending a day exploring, snorkeling or swimming. I would highly recommend utilizing the rental jeep, it is a great price and makes things easier when taking the ferry to and from the island. Jack and Julie supply you with all you may need to swim and snorkel at the beach, towels, coolers, gear, chairs, and even umbrellas are available. To summarize if you are looking to stay in a place with a very laid back, local feel with great access to awesome beaches, great hiking and convenient food options, this is a great place to do that. Coral Bay is great if you want to kick back and enjoy island life, to be clear, if you are looking for night life stay in Cruz Bay. If you want to enjoy the beauty and feel the island has to offer Coral Bay is for you. Jack and Julie offer a great property to stay at, our family thoroughly enjoyed it all! Thanks!

Our trip was fantastic! This was our second time to stay at Coral Bay View. The accommodations were great, and the hosts, Jack and Julie are wonderful! We prefer Coral Bay because it is on the quiet side of the island compared to the busy Cruz Bay. We look forward to returning next summer!

We decided to take our chance on our winter holiday tradition, traveling for the holidays. It worked out beyond expectations. First, I haven't experienced anyone more thorough to the details of pre-planning, arrival and departure than Jack and Julie. They must have worked as A+ travel agents in their prior work lives. Not only did they prepare you to arrive with all intel and resources, while there Julie was a master chef for dinners by choice and Jack made available all amenities you would need to enjoy your time on St Johns. I am telling you, even to a reserved table on one of the most gorgeous beaches with front lawn parking service sitting at a picturesque picnic table while watching the clearest water outside of maybe only Hawaii (still not sure which was better) that I've seen! The house was perfect, well kept, breeze coming off porch with high ceilings and ceiling fans. Mornings watching sunrise and set over a sound filled constantly with yachts while the area was the opposite, very country living (in a good way) calm, trails and beaches in every direction. Every morning listening to the roosters and goats battle for sound dominance. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and St John's (only outside of Maui) will see us return! Just outrageously gorgeous!
3.0
We debated the rating quite a bit, between a 3 and a 4. Here are our thoughts: The unit is spacious and has everything you need. The location is super convenient but the trade off is that it is right in the middle of Coral Bay. The view is over people’s yards and then out to the bay. It’s not bad but the photos give a different impression. It is also very loud in the morning. If you like to sleep with the windows shut, AC and noise machine on you would not be bothered, I’m sure. But we like the windows open and that meant we were woken by the roosters, dogs and cars as soon as the sun was up. It wasn’t super clean - dishes were dirty and the refrigerator was rusty. The hosts are on site which is super convenient. They can be a great resource for info on beaches, hiking, food, etc but it was our 6th trip to St John so we didn’t need a lot of help. The turn off for us was the overall tension we felt. They didn’t understand why we took a different ferry than they recommended and sent me an email questioning our decision. We had to go through a 30 minute check in where we were told how to drive and that we need to wear sunscreen - all after a really long travel day. There was tension between them that we couldn’t help but hear as the driveway that all the units share was right off our bedrooms. They do a walk through before you leave and told us a thermos bottle was missing. I assured them we didn’t loose or take it and they dropped it. So that was reasonable. It may be a perfect place for you - it is in paradise after all and many people find it ideal - but we can only say it was fine.
