"We stayed at Papaya Moon for two weeks at the beginning of March 2025 in the “Place in the Sun” suite. Simply paradise. The mountaintop views and breezes are heavenly. It is a very private location, surrounded by Sue’s beautiful gardens and the natural beauty of the island. You have your option of lots of outdoor activities – swimming, kayaking, snorkeling in turquoise waters; hiking the many trails that range from challenging to easy-going strolls. Or you can relax on the deck and gaze at sea and sky every time you look up from your book. We’d call Coral Bay the quiet side of the island, in contrast to the busier beaches closer to Cruz Bay. Coral Bay has some good places to eat and hear music, and a pottery studio/gallery/gift shop with work by local artists. Ron and Sue are wonderful hosts. It was a pleasure to meet them and learn about their experiences on St. John and obvious devotion to their island community. All the amenities in the description are accurate – clean, well-equipped, wifi, nice little kitchen, etc. We were also able to take a look at the other suite, and it is equally lovely.— Cecilia V. & Carl F. 3/22/2025"

"We had the most incredible Island vacation. The panoramic views are even better in person. The house was a laid-back beachy island vibe. To be clear, this is a Coral Bay Island home, not the Ritz, but that’s everything we loved about it. There is no air conditioning in the main living area, which was not a problem at all. We opened up the doors and let the breeze come in and enjoyed the air conditioning in the bedrooms. We found the beds to be very comfortable and I slept great the entire time. We ate breakfast, looking out over the water and swam in the afternoon taking in the views. You absolutely need four-wheel-drive to get up to the house but it is in close proximity to everything in Coral Bay. It takes about 25 minutes to Cruz Bay. We much preferred staying in Coral Bay. It was exactly what we were looking for. Much quieter with a local feel. Greg was probably the kindest and most intentional host we’ve ever encountered. We had, unfortunately, gotten a flat tire on our rental car and he immediately came to help us change it. Nothing was too much. We would definitely love to come back one day. The one thing I would say to be aware of is that it’s very expensive on the island so we picked up our car from the airport and bought groceries on St. Thomas and brought them over. We were so glad we did. Thanks so much for a dream vacation."

"This property has million-dollar views. They are breathtaking. We were pinching ourselves every time we took in the scenery. The villa itself is comfortable and cozy with all supplies/equip needed for the kitchen, including spices. The bedrooms are beautiful and cozy and the a/c was so nice. It was wonderful to have a washer and dryer. The showers are semi-outdoors; they have 4 walls but the top half above head is open air yet covered with roof. Showers were amazing with the tradewinds blowing in! We made friends with a cute lizard who lives on one of the shower lights:) It was a very quiet location and we loved waking up for magnificent sunrises every morning while listening to the roosters, goats, and donkeys! The pool was perfect and my son loved swimming every evening. The flora and fauna along the driveway and backyard are beautiful and we watched hummingbirds every day. We love the Coral Bay side of the island as it is more laid-back and quiet but just a 15-20 min drive to North Shore beaches and 20-25 to Cruz Bay (beautiful drive too!). As others have said, the road and driveway are a little precarious at first, but do it once and it’s easy! Communication with the hosts was flawless and we were even allowed graciously to check in early, as the previous people had checked out very early. We really appreciated this! We already miss Casa Yaya!"

"In Harmony is a perfect retreat for two people. The view is gorgeous and the two decks (covered and uncovered) allow you to see it rain or shine. The uncovered deck also has a lovely hot tub and two chaise lounges from which you can see the view or watch for shooting stars at night! The house is equipped with everything you need and if there is something you cannot find, Paul, the manager will have it to you immediately. Both Greg, the owner, and Paul were there to answer any questions and help with suggestions on restaurants and grocery stores. We surely hope to return to this lovely home again!"

"Our stay at Waterlemon Villa was better than we could have hoped for. We are so glad we decided to stay in Coral Bay instead of Cruz Bay. The vibe is chill and it wasn't busy or crowded with restaurants and small grocery stores close by. I loved waking up to the sunrise each morning and sitting on the screened in porch each night. The house was clean, not many insects for being in the Caribbean and fit our family of 5 with room to spare. It was so convenient having a washer and dryer, AC at night, stocked kitchen, pool floats, and beach chairs. Our family was looking for an adventure and we found it. We loved Hansen Bay, Salt Pond Bay and Cinnamon Bay. Snorkeled with sea turtles, baby nurse sharks, stingrays, jelly fish and all different kinds of tropical fish. We also hiked the Reef Bay Trial and Ram Head. I would definitely recommend the Full-Day Lime Out Snorkel Taco Lunch & Open Bar - Westin as they took us snorkeling at places you can't reach by land and that was when we were able to see the most coral and diverse amount of ocean life.

"10th visit to STJ and Husband and I had a first kid free get away and Salty Kisses was perfect! Great chairs, yeti cooler, comfy bed, plenty of nice towels, well appointed kitchen, great grill, and lovely decor!!!! Peaceful and perfect! Thank you Amanda!! "

"Screen doors don't work. Some windows don't open. Nice place, just needs some updates "

"Kim was an outstanding host and very knowledgeable about St John. She checked in on us and answered every question we had almost immediately. The house was great from top to bottom but the best part was the view. Only the bedrooms have a/c so the main house got a little stuffy in the afternoons/evenings since the bedrooms are only accessible from the outside downstairs. The road to the house is a nightmare, not gonna lie, but we got used to it after a couple of days. You definitely need an suv for ground clearance"

"I love Coral Bay so I asked my best friend and one of my sisters to join me for warm-up during a very cold and long Northeast winter. We ate in some (kitchen has everything one should need), dined out locally (Skinny Legs and Johnny Limes’s), toured the island in a rented Jeep, swam at Maho. Heavenly."
