Spectacular Moonswept Villa - Great Beyond Belief!

Moonswept was named one of the Top 5 New Caribbean Villas of 2008 by Caribbean Way Canada Magazine. The villa is owned by two New York City musicians, Garry Dial and Terre Roche.
We have added some new features in the last year! We now have Tesla batteries which power the house using solar panels on the roof. No more power outages at Moonswept! There is also the option of A/C in the great room and a heated pool for an additional fee.
You can visit our website for more information.
Moonswept is a picturesque retreat, high above the turquoise waters of the Caribbean with its scattering of islands, splendid in the morning sun and magical in the moonlight. The villa is a spacious getaway as far from the madding crowd as one could be, with the luxury of a villa and the serenity and natural beauty of an enchanted island.
When you enter the front door the high vaulted ceiling is a grand dome over the kitchen area, not unlike the sky itself. You're inside, but you're not cramped. Almost immediately you are called toward the Great Room by the most spectacular view of the sea through huge windows that give a sweeping vista of your surroundings. You'll want to stop and experience this moment fully. Many of our guests have remarked that the photographs on the website don't begin to evoke the feeling that comes with being at Moonswept.
The villa has plenty of cozy spaces in which to congregate, yet you'll never feel confined. The colors, the artwork on the walls, the furniture and all of the small details of design are elements mindfully added over time to maintain an environment in which each visitor can feel at home.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all of the modern conveniences. There are two equal-sized bedrooms, each with a California King-sized bed, two spacious bathrooms, laundry facilities, a large screen TV in the Great Room sitting area and Wi-Fi throughout the house. If you feel like eating indoors, you can sit at the great Basque-style dining table in the center of the villa and watch the moods of the sea and sky changing moment to moment.
Out on the pool deck you'll sit under the awning in the shade and enjoy meals at the dining table, or soak up the sun's rays on the deck chairs by the pool in a completely private environment. There's a hot tub for soothing the tired muscles that we all seem to bring along with us. This is a great place from which to watch the night sky with it's stars, moon, satellites and comets inviting your mind to expand outward and reconnect with your true nature.
We sincerely hope that you can experience the beauty of the island of St. John through the wonder of Moonswept Villa and bring back with you some of her inspiration and serenity.

We stayed 6 nights and wish we stayed longer. Moonswept is a spacious villa with an unbelievable view and an oversized pool for St John. We were very happy to return to this villa each day after exploring St John and the BVI. Terre and Garry are excellent hosts.

TRULY SPECTACULAR!
We LOVED our visit to Moonswept Villa. It's the place to stay if you want a fantastic view, both daytime and nighttime, and want to be away from it all. We were lucky enough to be there for a full moon. We even got a rainbow one afternoon. The house itself is great and clean. In addition to snorkeling everyday, we also enjoyed the pool and hot tub each day. Like many tropical places there were many bird and insect sounds at night, so if you are a light sleeper, bring some earplugs. Also of note, the drive to the villa is an adventure; however, it is absolutely worth it! The owner will provide you with wonderful tips about restaurants, etc. The house also has coolers, beach towels, and beach chairs.

Wonderful!
Our stay at Moon Swept Villa exceeded our expectations! Poised high up the mountain, it offers expansive, almost 180 degree views. We are now spoiled and are not sure we could stay at any other villa at a lower elevation. A steep but fun climb up the mountain and no problem with a 4X4. Parking was easy. Thank you for a well appointed house. The pool and hot tub were great and used daily after long hikes and snorkeling excursions. Perfect layout with ample room for the four of us. No issues. Never needed to contact the host for assistance. We will be back!

Perfect paradise getaway for family of 4
I have to say that these pictures do not do the Villa justice. The home was even nicer than expected! And the views are the best on the island. We spent hours just looking out over the Caribbean Sea. The pool and hot tub were nice to have after spending our days exploring the beaches. And we all agreed the beds were extremely comfy. I would definitely recommend Moonswept Villa for a family of 4 of two couples.

Fabulous home. Wonderful experience.
The home was beautiful. We paid for the heated pool and it was absolutely lovely, we swam in it several times each day. The drive is steep, but we got used to it after a day or so the house is conveniently located near coral bay. Easy to get to the restaurants and shops. Nicely located to get to salt pond and the North Shore peaches. We love Coral Bay. Would love the house !!We plan on staying here again when we come back to Saint John, absolutely perfect location loved it!!!!

This property is everything!
Listen, if you are visiting St John, this is the house to stay in. We were so impressed with the view and all the amenities. We went to many different beaches, trails and mountain tops, nowhere on the island was there a more gorgeous view. The house was extremely clean & well equipped with everything necessary to cook, grill and spend days in the heated pool and jacuzzi without needing to go anywhere should you choose. The owners were downstairs but believe me when I tell you, we never heard of saw anyone at all. It was nice to know that should we need anything, someone was close by. There were also coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, etc… they really have thought of everything. We were very pleased, and hope to someday return to this very same house.

We really enjoyed our stay at Moonswept Villa! The house has tremendous views and the pool is a necessity in our minds. The house is very clean and well kept. A/C made our trip in August very comfortable! The beaches are not far and we found a great beach within 15 minutes that has excellent snorkling.

Everything as promised & Not a better view on the island
My wife and I stayed at Moonswept in May 2022 and it was everything promised. The house is spectacular, nice furniture, well decorated, fantastic outdoor pool area and THAT VIEW!!! There is no exaggeration in everyone's comments about the view. Also, we used both the bedroom and main room ACs and it was no problem keeping the house nice and cold even as the temps starting rising in late May...this was a big plus. I am particularly fond of the coral bay side of the island and the location provides quick access to the restaurants around Aqua Bistro, Salty Mongoose, etc... as well as Pizzabar & Calabash market right at the base of the hill and Miss Lucy's close by in the other direction. This was one of the reasons we selected Calabash Boom this trip instead of the East End which we have done previously. One other benefit to the location is relatively easy access to Salt Pond Bay which is a gem of a beach and snorkeling experience shielded from most tourists on the island. Basically had it to myself each morning. The only thing to note is that the house is quite high so the winding road up was a bit of a challenge to my wife who is afraid of heights. But that is what affords such an amazing backdrop and is generally ok after a couple times. Would absolutely come back. Jason Word

Breathtaking views and privacy. Splendid!
Just a beautiful property with breathtaking views of not only Coral Bay but also the British Virgin islands. Everything worked well and we used the pool and hot tub multiple times during the day everyday. It is a beautiful property for a couple who wants to be together in privacy and enjoy themselves. Make sure you have a 4x4 because the property is up on a mountain and it's a bumpy ride. I would definitely come back and recommend this property to everyone without any reservation.

The property was absolutely amazing! The pool was wonderful - no chlorine, but flowers and plenty of sunshine. I spent a considerable amount of time floating on my back and looking at the sky! We had such a peaceful stay! Aside from hiking and snorkeling (the reasons we chose St. John) there isn't much else to do, which was great! The owners are terrific, but they do live downstairs. We barely saw them, but just so you know.

Moonswept Villa is a Magical Oasis
Moonswept Villa is a magical place to stay in a truly breathtaking setting with views alike! It was such a beautiful, elegant, clean and cozy place to stay, inside and out. The pool and patio surrounded by lush tropical gardens with sweeping views of the BVIs was our own private oasis to unwind in. We recommend star-gazing from the hot tub and waking up to watch the sunrise at least once while you’re there. Some of our favorite beaches were Maho, Cinnamon Bay and Salt Pond- absolutely stunning- and we were able to swim with sea turtles- an experience we will never forget! We also recommend doing the Ram's Head trail hike at Salt Pond Beach and jumping in the ocean after to cool off. The views from the top of the trail were gorgeous! Our favorite restaurant in Coral Bay was Rhumb Lines with their delicious food and mystical atmosphere- just a short ride from Moonswept! Also loved going to the Salty Mongoose for pizza and beers and loved frequenting the Calabash Market just down the road from the villa! If you are looking to unwind, relax and be rejuvenated in total privacy in a place where pictures can’t do its beauty justice, Moonswept Villa is the place to do it! Terre was a wonderful host and provided detailed advice and information for making our stay a breeze and was kindly available for any questions we had. My husband and I will never forget our first stay at Moonswept Villa and its truly magical atmosphere and vibes. Staying here for our honeymoon made it more special and perfect than we could have ever imagined, and we hope to come back soon!
