About this villa rental
MAY RATES HAVE BEEN REDUCED BY 20-25%! Villa Carolina is a private and serene slice of paradise located in a prestigious area of Coral Bay known as Upper Carolina. Our home is highly elevated and nestled in the hillside bordering the Virgin Islands National Park. The bars, restaurants, and quaint shops of Coral Bay are just five minutes down the hill. The famous North Shore beaches of St. John are less than 10 minutes away. Francis Bay and Maho Bay are the closest. Several beaches toward the East End, are also about a 10 minute drive. The incredibly pleasant sands of Salt Pond are maybe 15 minutes away. It's the perfect spot to enjoy both sides of the island. THIS EXCLUSIVE, GATED LOCATION AFFORDS UNINTERRUPTED, 225 DEGREE, PANORAMIC VIEWS over the Carolina Valley, all of Coral Bay, out the East End of St. John toward Norman, Peter, Salt, Cooper, Ginger, and Beef Islands, and all the way to Virgin Gorda. That's 30 miles! Directly to the northeast is Drake's Channel and West End, Tortola. Spectacular sunrises on the deck are a sight to behold and star gazing evenings are out of this world. It's unforgettable 'postcard' scenery. Relax on the expansive pool deck. Sit back in the fully reclining lounge chairs, or retreat to the comfortable wicker furniture in the shade. Float the day away in the infinity edge pool. Read a book and watch the sail boats dance the aqua blue Caribbean. Bring the blender outside and mix up a 'Painkiller'. Fire up the barbecue and enjoy a meal of local fish or lobster at the outdoor dining table. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Wireless internet access is available throughout the house and poolside, for those of you that just can't seem to leave the real world behind. Shame on you. The spacious Great Room with cathedral ceilings invites you to relax on the plush Tommy Bahama furniture. Five sets of mahogany French doors flow to the sunny pool deck to make for easy outdoor living. Arched breezeways allow the refreshing trade winds to circulate the villa. Ceiling fans abound, and Mexican tile floors are just another touch of class. The gourmet kitchen has everything you need to prepare fantastic meals in style, and your chef will have plenty of room to get down to business. We haven't overlooked a thing; gas range, dishwasher, microwave, large refrigerator with ice maker, coffee maker, toaster, and a kitchen island with an additional bar sink. Two bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the Great Room for complete couples privacy. They are similar sized master suites and both have French doors overlooking the pool deck. Identical bathrooms have spacious closets, tiled double vanities and open-air stone grotto showers. An internal staircase leads down to the third bedroom with a private deck and a full bath with stone shower. All bedrooms have queen size beds and the third room has an extra daybed. All bedrooms also have A/C, but it's rarely needed because of the great breezes and ceiling fans. Villa Carolina is extremely popular and has many repeat guests, so we recommend booking early (6 months advanced) to reserve your week in paradise. If for some reason we are not booked within 30 days of your desired vacation time, please contact us, as we often provide discounts for rentals on short notice. WE APOLOGIZE, BUT BECAUSE OF LEGAL ISSUES WITH THE POOL, WE CANNOT PERMIT CHILDREN AGES 8 MONTHS TO 8 YEARS TO STAY AT VILLA CAROLINA. SORRY. We do occasionally make exceptions. Just ask. Please do not hesitate to contact Sean by e-mail with any questions or comments. If Villa Carolina is not the right size or location for your party, Sean can also refer you to other villas. Thank you............and tell a friend!! The quoted rates are for 2 guests. Each additional guests is $30 per person, per night.

Amazing views from a luxury home. While we love the beaches of St. John, this place is a great place to spend the day. Killer views and peaceful surroundings. It keeps us coming back.

Beautiful house with a spacious common area that comfortably accommodated the five of us. Although we don’t do much cooking on vacation, I think this may have been the best equipped kitchen we’ve found in a beach house. And we appreciated that the driveway wasn’t so steep as to be difficult to navigate. The sunrise woke us at 5:30 every morning, but it was so beautiful it was hard to object!

This house always delivers. We had such a restful time. The house is beautiful, well-supplied, and quiet. Communication with the owners went very smoothly.
We love being away from the business of Cruz Bay, and the proximity to the lovely north shore beaches of St John. We will definitely be back.

Our family of five stayed at Villa Carolina over our spring break. The views were incredible. The house was beautiful, and perfectly laid out. We had everything we needed for a great stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.

This villa was beautiful, well stocked, extremely comfortable and felt like home.
The outdoor living space was perfect with the most beautiful view. We cooked in 5 nights and had everything we could need.
We love this location in Coral Bay due to ease of access to North and South beaches. The wind and current change daily so accessing the best beach for the day is no problem.
Drive up is totally fine. If you haven’t driven the switchbacks before the first few times maybe be interested but overall this drive wasn’t bad. Driveway was easy!
When we visit the island again this will be our place to book!

We stayed one week at Villa Carolina and found ourselves wishing for more time there! The views of Coral Bay and the surrounding islands were stunning!! The villa is well laid out for two or three couples. The landscaping is beautiful and offers great privacy. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and all but the filtered water from the fridge in good working order. We were supplied with a water pitcher with filter for drinking and cooking.
The beds were very comfortable but we missed a few items in the bathroom that we wished we knew in advance. Next time we’ll take our own hair conditioner, bar soap and Kleenex.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience and we appreciated the quiet beauty of the Coral Bay side of St. John !

Villa Carolina is an excellent location off the beaten path in St John. The scenery is spectacular (we saw something different every time we looked). The house itself is airy and comfortable and an excellent place to return home to when exhausted from the sun, sea, and hills. Away from the maddening crowd, but we found it was close enough to key amenities once we got the lay of the land. We would definitely stay here again (and again).

The house, breeze and view are just unbelievable. We came here for our 25th anniversary with another couple and we were all blown away by the beauty of the place. My family has been to St. John 6 other times through the years and we’ve stayed at other very nice homes, but this one is our favorite.

Stunning home and incredible view!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Carolina and look forward to returning again!! The house is spectacular, even more amazing than shown in the photos, the photos just do not do it justice. It had everything we needed and more. The landscaping is beautiful. The pool is fabulous, we spent a lot of time relaxing there when not at the beaches. I highly recommend anyone even remotely thinking about booking here to do so without hesitation. You will not be disappointed. My family and I are so glad we did and are definitely planning trips back in the future.

My wife and I stayed at Villa Carolina with another couple. We were all celebrating anniversaries. This villa is perfect for 2 or 3 couples. It is stocked with everything you need for your vacation. Plenty of privacy with an amazing pool deck. We shopped at Dolphin market down in Coral Bay next to Aqua Bistro, and grilled dinner on the generously sized BBQ a few nights to save on dinners. We dined on the pool deck overlooking Coral Bay, sitting in the cool breezes that you get in the evening,. Everything was amazing. The property managers were readily available for questions or issues. Communication was great. We would love to stay here next time! Thanks guys!

I can not say enough good things about this property, it was the perfect spot to stay on St John. The home is beautiful, very clean and very well designed. The pool deck is amazing both during the day and at night - perfect view of coral bay. The landscaping on the property is also very well maintained which makes the experience even better. Tons of great perks - fancy pool light at night, floaties for pool and beach, snorkel gear to use, beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers. Sean was a great host, communicated well and had all the important info laid out for you to optimize the fun for your stay. A little more pricey then other condos but worth every penny!!!

Wow! The pics can't possibly capture the beauty of this place. Unmatched views, perfect location -- it just doesn't get any better. Thanks so much for opening this slice of paradise to me and my family! We'll definitely be back.

In a word: WOW. Villa Carolina is a slice of heaven on earth. If you are looking for a home on the 'quiet side' of St. John, THIS IS IT!! The views from its perch overlooking Coral Bay are breathtaking. The infinity pool was great to return home to after long days exploring St. John's beaches and trails. The kitchen has everything needed to cook family meals. The home gets AMAZING sea breezes, which were lovely to wake up to each morning. The open air showers were super-cool as well! The property manager (Sean) was great and communicated with us via text, giving us plenty of opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback (all of which was 100% positive!). Absolutely phenomenal experience!
P.S. tip: Renting a Jeep is a MUST to access the property and make full use of exploring the island. Plenty of small car rental companies are available on St. John. We had a blast rooting around in our Wrangler for the week!!

Villa Carolina is everything you’d expect from the listing. The home is lovely, and the views are second to none. The gardens and landscaping are well designed and maintained. We’ve rented homes in the Coral Bay Area for many years and this property is top shelf. We look forward to returning for years to come.

A wonderful week!
Villa Carolina is a wonderful spot on the island with gorgeous views and beautiful garden. We hade a great time, just relaxing by the pool on the deck taking in the views, soaking in the sun, going on hikes and visiting beaches. It was the 5th time in Coral Bay for us and we love it there. We could see everybody was doing their best to keep things going during this pandemic. The villa had plenty of space to accommodate us and is nicely appointed. The general manager checked in with us several times during the week by texting and was very responsive. All in all - it is a great house to stay in if you want privacy, amazing views from a beautiful terrass, infinity pool, and relaxing time to read a good book or just nap.!

We (myself, husband and my older mom) stayed at Villa Carolina for a week right after Thanksgiving. We were looking forward to this trip for many months! The villa was as pictured and the location was truly stunning. We did have a few small little hitches (easily remedied) that I feel warrant honesty. I'll start with the pros:
- The views are nothing short of spectacular. Truly. I am not a morning person and sunrises were 100% worth it.
- The grounds are well-kept and so lush. Total privacy but a 5-10 min ride down the mountain to Coral Bay.
- The villa was nicely furnished and comfortable; we had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Having beach chairs, a few floats and coolers was a welcome accommodation.
- A/C in the bedrooms was really a life saver at night for cool, comfortable sleeping. We all slept very well here.
The cons:
- This villa is located in a lush, Caribbean paradise and there WILL be some bugs (and an occasional lizard or frog in the bathroom). In order to have the breeze come through the main area (which, to be clear, does NOT have A/C, just fans) you'll need to have the terrace doors open. We were OK with a normal expectation of a few critters, and the breeze WAS glorious. However, at the time of our stay, there was a roach issue inside the villa that was above and beyond a normal bug here or there from an open door. At first I thought it was "normal" for such a location, but as the week progressed, they were EVERYWHERE. I felt it was appropriate to let the property manager know (which I did, the second to last day) and he responded in a timely manner. We were told the property is regularly serviced by an exterminator and that the roaches were not a normal thing. So, all in all, what's one to do? We certainly didn't let it ruin the fun but it did put a damper on the stay. If you are considering booking I would make certain this issue has been resolved.
- The pool lights do not work. We were told about this in advance, and apparently getting things repaired on St John in a timely manner can be challenging, but just know before you go if you enjoy night swimming.
- There were some communications from the manager here and there that felt a little passive-aggressive in nature, and frankly, I didn't love that. I just chalked it up to tone getting lost in translation via text and didn't let it ruffle too many feathers, but details like this do matter and affect overall experience.

Gorgeous Villa Carolina!
We loved our stay at Villa Carolina! Outstanding views and gorgeous property led us to rent here. The Villa has a small but deep pool and a great outdoor space. It came equipped with everything you need except satellite TV. The more sedate members of the family missed TV in the evenings. Streaming football and movies sometimes resulted in buffering. The other family members loved the proximity to some great snorkeling and hiking sites and were too tired to miss TV. Still we had a great time and seeing the other side of the island.

This was by far the best house and location on St. John we have ever rented. Sharon was very attentive and very accommodating from start to finish. The location and view is what we had hoped it would be. Perfect! This home has everything you need, you didn’t need to use the AC with the constant breeze. We loved it there. Beautiful vacation, gorgeous and safe location. Could not ask for more. Thank you Sharon!

This house and location is absolutely spectacular! There were 6 adults and we had plenty of space, a great location and beautiful view. Sunrises we’re awesome. The location was great for access to the beaches and Coral Bay for restaurants and grocery stores. Can’t wait to come back again.
