About this villa rental

The kids will have the rest of the large pool to themselves. These distinct separate areas allow plenty of room for everyone to enjoy different water activities. Seaside St. John is a Luxury Mediterranean style villa with 5 bedrooms and 5.5  bathrooms. The entrance to the is villa through a lush tropical courtyard accented by a dry garden waterfall. The property has been terraced and landscaped with local and exotic plants to preserve the real feeling of St.John. There are mango and papaya trees. As you enter the main living area you see the expanse of our Bay and its coral reef against the backdrop of Drakes Passage and the island of Tortola through huge custom made mahogany sliding doors. Mahogany is used throughout the villa mixed with Egyptian stone floors, granite and marble countertops, and other unique stones. The main living area has a plenty of seating and a dining table that seats 10 and can be expanded to seat 12. There is an additional covered outside dining area complete with barbecue grill and a pass through to the kitchen. A sitting area connects the main living area to the upper level master suite. There are huge outside decks for the sun worshipers and covered decks with overstuffed sofas and chairs for those who love the shade off the main living area.  Turtles can often be spotted from one of these many  decks and Pelicans are frequently seen diving for food. Seaside St John has 4 unique master bedroom suites plus a kids bedroom with a 55” TV and full over full bunk bed. One bedroom is off the pool deck, a romantic Canopy bed graces another, the third bedroom has an outside garden shower and a fold out sofa bed in a separate sitting area and the upstairs bedroom has an outside garden shower and a screened in porch. All 4 master suites have either a deck or a porch and sensational views.

Our goal was to see as much of St John as possible. However, with such a beautiful house, amazing pool and perfect snorkeling beach we found it difficult to leave the property. Such a beautiful spot, such a wonderful vacation.

The best things about this lovely property for our group were the absolutely stunning views over the water and access to North Haulover for water sports with the provided kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling gear. It is spacious and thoughtfully provisioned — so many towels for bath, pool and beach! Our littles loved the books, games and toys. We used the gas grills nearly every evening. And we appreciated the two fridges and the ice maker. Things to be aware of: - WiFi was out more than not, and on this side of the island cell phones pick up towers in the BVI so an international plan is required and even then service is unpredictable. This didn’t present an urgent issue for our group on this trip over Christmas break, but we’d factor it in if staying during a busier work season. Streaming wasn’t an option for us. - the beautiful drive from the more populated side of the island takes a good thirty minutes and can be harrowing. Would not consider without a Jeep. We only made the drive twice after dark and that was enough for us! As others have noted, the property has so much to offer that we didn’t mind staying in most of the evenings, and we explored during the days. - the fifth bedroom suite is accessed from the outdoor pool area and doesn’t open to the rest of the house which could be a plus for a couple or a negative for a family with lots of kids. It’s a great space for a large group and the hosts were wonderful.

Our family (8 adults, 1 toddler) stayed here over Thanksgiving 2023 and had a wonderful stay. Views are phenomenal; nice private bay / water access for paddle boarding / snorkeling. Outdoor living spaces are incredible; fabulous pool with lots of seating; 2 outdoor bars / grilling areas. Inside is spacious and bright / well lit with great views. We were first timers to St. John and a bit concerned on the location, but it is not an issue. You can stay at the home and be very comfortable, but easy access (about 10 minutes) to Coral Bay. The most popular beaches are 20 / 25 minute ride (we learned quickly that you have to drive to most everything in St. John). But, there is a very nice local beach only about 5 minutes away as well. We are an active family - did lots of hiking, snorkeling, swimming. Some of the best snorkeling was right in our bay at the house or at the nearby beach. Most importantly, we can't say enough about the host. Michael was extremely helpful from the time we booked until the time we left. He had great suggestions for traveling in, buying food, local restaurants, etc. That sounds minor, but for our family (4 adult couples and one toddler) traveling from 3 different locatilites, it was extremely helpful.

Our goal was to stay put this vacation....beach and pool. We accomplished that in grand style. Michael was a great help. My only suggestion to future guests is get a Jeep, not an all wheel drive car. We could barely get out of the driveway! Super, super steep.

This was our 6th trip to St. John and our first time staying on the East end. We were amazed by the beautiful home, stunning views and absolutely loved having a beach that was a two minute walk from the house. Michael was by far the best property manager we have dealt with. He was kind and helpful whenever we had questions prior to and while we were there. We loved having our own little beach to snorkel, paddle board and relax at. If you stay here you don't need to bring much as the house comes with almost everything you need to enjoy your time at St. John- chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, floats etc. When we booked I was nervous about staying so far from Cruz Bay but our family loved the quiet and peaceful East End. Coral Bay has plenty of food options and you are close to both the North and South beaches from this house. We can't wait to come back! The Yoho Family

Stunning views & a private beach add to the elegance of this property. We spent 2 glorious weeks there and enjoyed every minute. The roads on Saint John are narrow and winding and the driveway is very steep but it is worth the trip!
