Waterlemon Villa~Stunning Island Views, Pool, AC, Great for Groups & Kids

Waterlemon Villa is a private 3BR, 3BA vacation home located on the hillside overlooking Coral Bay, St. John. At 700 feet above sea level, this casually elegant retreat is high enough to capture the breezes of the trade winds and close enough to the harbor to watch the sailboats come and go. The breathtaking 50-mile view up the Sir Francis Drake Channel extends all the way to Spanishtown Harbor on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. Two queen bedrooms downstairs and one bedroom upstairs with two twin bunk beds accommodate up to eight people. While opening the sliders and letting the amazing trade winds cool you off will always be a wonderful option, we also have air conditioning in each bedroom to keep all our guests comfortable throughout the year. Waterlemon Villa is a unique property in St. John because everyone is housed under one roof, connected by an indoor staircase, making it ideal for families! However, the privacy of the location and pool make it just as enticing for a honeymoon couple or an anniversary trip!

The house is equipped for gourmet cooking with a large gas grill, Cuisinart pots and pans, good knives, extensive cooking utensils, a microwave, and, of course, a blender and a margarita set. (This is a vacation home, after all). There are plenty of dishes and glasses if you wish to eat in and enjoy the view from the comfort of the screened-in porch. The house is equipped with a triple filtered water system including U/V light and is drinkable.

There are multiple options for relaxing at the Villa from chaise lounges at the pool, to rocking chairs on the lower level porch, to the outdoor living area on the upstairs screened-in porch. The comfortable wicker living room set in the great room is a terrific place for watching TV (you can connect to all of your favorite Smart TV programs) or listening to music. The house comes stocked with books and games that are fun for the whole family. Enjoy a game of cornhole or jenga by the pool or a boardgame on the porch.

Coral Bay restaurants are five minutes from the house, and the outstanding snorkeling beaches of Salt Pond Bay and Maho Bay are a scenic 10-15 minute drive. Put the beach chairs and the cooler in the car, grab the towels and spend the day exploring. Everything you need for the beach- chairs, coolers, towels, are included with your rental! The natural beauty of St. John awaits you!

Coral Bay and Waterlemon Villa are an easy 25 minute drive east from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay. Come and visit, paradise is calling...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Waterlemon Villa welcomes children 3 years and older with younger children at the discretion of the property manager. The house may not be suitable for young children due to the height of the porches and retaining walls. In addition, a steep staircase between the first and second floors may make the house potentially undesirable for people with significant difficulty navigating stairs. Waterlemon Villa is a no-smoking, no pets property.

Fall Break 2024
We’ve been visiting the US Virgin Islands for 15ish years, splitting time on St. John and St Thomas. This place was equipped the best for our needs (cooking, games, pool, beach coolers/chairs, location to beaches) and just overall compared to other stays. We had two miner (towards the end) issues that were taken care of immediately by the property management team. Even had one of the owners reach out with an apology for any inconvenience. I guess the only negative (by slim margins) is the drive/distance from Cruz Bay. The grocery store wasn’t as nice on this end of the island and the restaurants were sparse. Over all, great place, views, well equipped, spacious yet private when needed! A+

Breathtaking Views!
Waterlemon was perfectly situated to enjoy the most breathtaking views on St John! The house was perfect for our family of 5, with kids ranging from 11-16 years old. We enjoyed staying on Coral Bay side for the first time and would definitely recommend. The reviews of drive to the house are accurate, but TOTALLY worth it!! We loved and really hope to return!

Amazing Views!
We (two adult couples) stayed a week in lovely Waterlemon Villa located in Coral Bay. The house was exactly as described/pictured. We appreciated the en suite bathroom (love that outdoor shower), AC, generous closet space, and comfy bed in each main bedroom. Since there were only 4 of us, we didn’t use the third bedroom, but with 2 sets of bunk beds, it would easily sleep four additional guests. We cooked many of our meals (we traveled in off season and many restaurants were closed), and the kitchen was extremely well-equipped. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were a plus! There are two large tables, one in the kitchen area and one on the screened porch. We loved the screened porch with the comfortable furniture and spent lots of time there just marveling at the view.There is no dedicated AC in the living area, but we were never hot or uncomfortable, and even kept the doors closed. The pool was clean and the temp was perfect. And those views!! You really have to see them to believe them! Pool floats and beach towels were provided and so thoughtful. We also used the provided snorkel/beach gear when we were out and about. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is needed to climb up and down the steep roads to the property, especially if it has rained. Part of the fun! Finally, a huge thanks to Tim for answering all our questions and Lou for helping in so many ways! Beautiful and comfortable! We loved our stay at Waterlemon!

Excellent place to stay on St. John
We had a wonderful time staying at this villa on St. John. The view was incredible, the property was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was so refreshing. The air conditioner was new for this visit and worked perfectly! The property manager was also extremely responsive. Highly recommend.

Great place!
This villa was great for our family of 5 adults. It had everything we needed, kitchen was well appointed for meals, including the grill. We spent every night playing cards on the deck which was so relaxing. Waking up to the sunrise every morning was unbelievable! We had an issue with the water pump, but the manager was very responsive getting it fixed as soon as possible.

Saint John vacation
Loved the location, totally private, beautiful house with awesome views. The kids loved the pool and the outside showers. The only thing is that the road leading to the house is not for faint of heart but that’s part and parcel of Saint John.

Waterlemon
Amazing villa! Beautiful views of coral bay! Villa was perfect for families and well equipped with all the essentials to make the week stress free! The only drawback was the driveway/villa road… it was so much steeper than expected and you not only need 4wd but a driver that is skilled at navigating treacherous roads! The villa is on one of the steepest hillsides! It would be extremely dangerous to show up here at night not being familiar with the terrain. We arrived during the day which allowed us to get acclimated see what we were dealing with thank god! Aside from the driveway… this is the most amazing place!

Great place to stay!!!!
What a great place to stay. I would highly recommend this house. We will return again. To anyone staying here for the first time, I highly recommend taking the advice from the host to securing a Jeep for your vacation. The drive to the house is very vertical and takes a little getting used to but your Jeep will get you in and out safely. I would like to send my sincere appreciation to the host, housekeeper and all others involved in preparing the house for our vacation. Everything was clean and in proper condition. I can’t wait to return!!!

Wonderful stay
Not sure I can add any more to the other glowing reviews. The house was great, the views from the patios were amazing. The two big beds were comfortable. Most days we had breezes that would flow through and cool us - there is no AC. We will definitely rent Waterlemon Villa on our next visit. Get a Jeep if you stay here - the roads up are steep! There is a hidden Dolphin grocery store down below in the apartment complex , next to the restaurants.
