I am writing this review on our last night at Halcyon Days as I sit on the wrap-around deck with the ocean breeze and the gorgeous view. We stayed from 3/5/2016 to 3/11/2016. This house is so incredibly fantastic! The owners, Bill and Lois, have set up a beautiful house that is perfect to stay in on St. Johns. The house has the most amazing deck with lounge chairs, tables and regular chairs. One of our favorite things to do is have a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise over the islands all while sitting in the front part of the deck. When we first walked in the house we were all just wowed with the atrium that greets you as you open the door. The owners have EVERYTHING you need for your beach time right in the atrium(chairs, fins, snorkel gear, toys). They have beach towels and anything think else you could possible need. We walked up the stairs and went into the main room. A huge kitchen with a view of Coral Bay greets you. The owners have thought of anything possible you could need to cook. The kitchen is fully stocked and very comfortable to find what you need in. We did cook many of our meals as it was cheaper than eating out. The couch and TV area has sliding doors that you can open while you are home to rest and relax and feel the breeze. Upstairs is a bathroom and then a master bedroom with the best shower I have ever seen or experiences. The upstairs master bathroom is stone and roomy with two sinks. There is another single bed up stairs and another bathroom (which is perfect if traveling with a little one). Downstairs are the three other bedrooms and another master bedroom, and two more bathrooms. They have great views and are perfect. Outside the house is great as well. We were able to pick limes right off of a tree! The area it is located in is so relaxing and quiet with just the breeze and sounds of the ocean. Thank you , Bill and Lois, for letting us rent you perfect house. This has given our family the experience of a lifetime and we are already talking about coming back! We had a difficult time leaving the house the first day here because we just wanted to be on the porch and relax. We talked to some people at Salt Pond Bay about where we were staying and they were so impressed with our comments they are going to look for Halcyon Days too! If you choose to rent from Bill and Lois, you are in for a vacation house of a lifetime. Thank you again, Amy

Beautiful and functional house. The views from the deck and the living room are spectacular. Great bathrooms, 3 of the 4 have 2 sinks. This was the best equipped kitchen we've ever rented, with all the equipment you may need and as many spices as we have in our home. Food prices in the local groceries are high though ($13 for a jar of organic tomato sauce). Beautiful garden surrounding the house though unfortunately the fruit wasn't ripe at this time of the year. Some of us brought snorkeling gear and the rest used what was at the house. The owner was quite responsive to all our pre trip questions and called to see how we were doing. I can think of no reason not to rent this house. FYI - Coral Bay is the quieter side of the island. There are some nice beaches within a 10-15 minute drive. Snorkeling is ok but the coral reef has suffered since we were last on St. John 7 years ago. By all means climb Ram's Head for beautiful views but go shortly after sun rise as it get's hot quickly. Visit Drunk Bay for the locals rock sculpture. If you've not been to St. John be ready for steep and curvy roads. You can get by with a car but a jeep is better. There are "free range" donkeys, goats and chickens. You'll enjoy the pelicans diving into a foot of water, the magnificent frigates overhead and the occasional booby. GO!

Excellent house for a large group. One of the best supplied houses I have stayed at with great amenities. Very personable and helpful owners.
