October 2024

My wife & I recently took our three sons (7, 9, & 22) and my mom (70) to St. John and were fortunate enough to find this absolute diamond-in-the-rough at the east end of the island, near Coral Bay. We will be back as soon and as often as we are able. I honestly don't know where to start, but of all the places I've been around the world this home/location is at the very top...alongside the overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. Yeah, that good! From the immaculate home & furnishings to the unbelievable landscaping leading down to the private beach... this villa is perfect. The views from the entire home are fantastic and the sunset unmatched. The entire side of the building opens up via sliding glass doors to silver travertine & a perfect-size pool continuing the views. The home included kayaks and gear for exploring, and the swimming/snorkeling was absolutely amazing... our family saw octopus, turtles, more fish species than I can count, and the beautiful reef of sea life that runs along to the left. Make sure to snorkel over to Pelican Rock... very easy swim! Our host, Jessie, was 100% responsive all the time from beginning to end and answered any and all questions. She's the perfect local host, a wonderful human, and happens to be a realtor to the island as well. We will be back and won't stay anywhere else... if it's available!
