- "5 stars for this villa! Perfect place to stay to celebrate our anniversary. Beautiful views and great location in Coral Bay! The villa was equipped with everything we needed for the week. Lois and Joy were easy to work with! We rented a jeep in St. Thomas and that worked well. Can’t wait to return!!! 🏝️❤️" - "Everything about this villa and our trip to St. John was magical! The villa is exactly as described and pictured and maybe ever better! We met Joy Graw, the on-island manager, on the first evening during check-in and she was wonderful and shared lots of great tips for our trip! We went sailing and snorkeling with her and her partner Rob the next day and she also took us on her dingy to visit Lime Out the day after - both so much fun! We could not have had a better visit on the island thanks to Joy's hospitality and Lois' helpful information and amazing villa! This villa truly has the best view to wake up to every morning and everything you need. The beach towels, noodles, chairs, coolers, tumblers, etc. that were provided were so great and we used it all everyday on our trips to the beach! Thank you Joy, Rob, and Lois for your kindness and hospitality! We can't wait to visit St. John again! :)"

- "We loved our stay here at Sea Grape! The pictures does not do the house justice. When we arrived, you got the feeling of just being at HOME. We had a slight issue with the fridge (most of it was it being opened and closed from our couier service) Paul came in the very next day to fix it. I cant say enough about Paul. We introduced himself and his lovely cat Sebastian. When we saw him, it was like seeing your neighbor that you have known for years. He was lovely to talk to and the house was a huge plus. Every morning we would all wake up early to have our coffee and watch the sun come up over the island. We will be back!"

- "This was our 5th time to visit St John, and by far the best! Accommodations from Jack and Julie were exactly what we needed for our 8 day stay. The studio was clean and stocked with all the necessary supplies, including water. Julie's banana bread was a delicious breakfast for us. The studio was perfectly located over Coral Bay, close to restaurants and grocery stores. The expansive deck right outside the studio doors was fantastic. Morning sunrise and evening breezes were perfect for relaxing. We rented one of their Jeeps, that Jack takes very good care of, and drove all over the island. They provided everything that we needed for the beach: chairs, cooler, umbrella, snorkel gear, loungers. All that really made our stay easy and relaxing. Our first stay in Coral Bay was fantastic and we will definitely return to Jack & Julie. Highly, highly, highly recommend!"

A great property. great deck and very nice little pool to refresh you after a day on st johns beaches." - "Had a great week at this villa - it's perfect if you enjoy privacy and amazing views. Plenty of space for a small group with a full kitchen/grill if you feel like cooking and a pool that gets plenty of sun during the day. You need a little courage to navigate the switchbacks, but the view of Coral Bay from the porch is worth it! The owners were very friendly and helpful, and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely come back!"

New Moon is a charming one bedroom house for rent in Coral Bay, on the island of St. John. Surrounded by trees, with beautiful views of Coral Bay and Bordeaux Mountain, New Moon provides the perfect couples’ getaway. New Moon offers a spacious kitchen, beautifully appointed with hardwood mahogany cabinets and bar. This intimate residence will make you feel right at home as you enjoy all St. John has to offer. New Moon provides the perfect base from which to explore the white sand beaches of St. John and the unspoiled beauty of the Virgin Islands National Park. Located 10-15 minutes from beaches and trails on either the North or South shore of St. John, swimming, snorkeling and hiking opportunities abound. A variety of restaurants, shops and bars are less than ½ mile away in Coral Bay, and the bustling nightlife and shopping of downtown Cruz Bay can be reached via a scenic 25 minute drive.
New Moon sleeps just two people, but can be rented in conjunction with Just Enough (see VRBO listing 51729) for parties of up to four people. Both New Moon and Just Enough were custom built by their owner with the protection of the environment in mind. While separated by lush foliage, the houses are on the same property, connected by a short trail. This design allows for family or friends to have separate space and privacy, but the proximity to enjoy a vacation together. Each two-story house includes a bedroom and bathroom upstairs, living space and a fully equipped kitchen downstairs, and wrap-around decks on both floors from which to enjoy the views and stargazing.

- "My husband and I stayed at New Moon for our 36th wedding anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The house is clean and simple, but had everything we needed. We enjoyed the tropical landscaping, the beautiful craftsmanship that the owner put into building New Moon, and the laid back feel you get just being there. As others have mentioned, there is no air conditioning, but the fans (5 total) kept the island breezes moving. The shower had plenty of hot water and was refreshing. We bought 2 cases of water for drinking which we would recommend. The beach chairs were nice, plus there was a small ice chest and ice packs. There is a nice variety of movies and books. As far as games, they have checkers, backgammon, cribbage and chess. We appreciated that the house had soap, shampoo, conditioner, bug spray, and reef safe sun screen. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc. including storage containers, small Ziplock baggies, and foil. We used the grill, and it worked well. The hammock was uncomfortable. Staying at New Moon will definitely require going up and down a lot of steps. The house is easy to get to by Jeep.. If you've never been to St. John before, we would highly recommend it, and if you like to get away from the action, Coral Bay is the place to be! There are some great restaurant, and a few shops, but mostly you'll be relaxing. exploring the many beautiful beaches, snorkeling, hiking and living the dream!"

St. John and Someday Isle has an energy that helps to reduce stress, anxiety and promote healing. Celebrate YOU and plan your vacation. Your "Someday" is now.
Someday Isle is located on the Western side of the island in Coral Bay. It has a breathtaking view of the BVIs and is blessed with light island trade winds. It is a well-appointed villa with a Colonial Caribbean charm that feels like home. Each bedroom has its own entrance way, deck and bathroom which allows for privacy. When the villa is booked for 2 guests the cottage BR is not accessible. The property is booked for only one party at a time. The pool and patio are positioned for plenty of sunlight and gorgeous views of neighboring islands. It is a perfect location for après beach snacks and libations. Flowering, manicured gardens and walkways with island stonework surround the property creating your island oasis. Your senses will be invigorated with not only the gorgeous sights, but the smells of the trees and ground cover. The owner is also cultivating a zen garden where the hurricane unearthed a large volcanic boulder.
Someday Isle is situated conveniently off a concrete road and driveway. The property is gated for security and privacy. It has ample parking for two vehicles. It's a short drive south to get to great beaches like Salt Pond Bay, Lameshur, Little Lameshur, and Europa Beach. Head east for great snorkeling at Hanson, Haul-Over. A short drive down Centerline Road, brings you to Leinster Bay, Maho, Cinammon Bay, Trunk and Hawksnest Beach. And if you enjoy a hike between beaches, you are very close to Rams Head, Brown Bay Trail, Reef Bay (and petroglyphs), Johnnie Horn, and Drunk Bay trails.
We invite you to make our home yours for your island get-away. Whether you are planning a romantic trip for two or an expanded trip with friends and family, Someday Isle will accommodate your every need. From sunrise to moon-rise you will enjoy the ambiance of the upper deck. With the well equipped kitchen with quartz counter tops, sharing a gourmet meal is possible. We also have several great local restaurants and watering holes which will add to your culinary experience. Someday Isle provides a comfortable environment with plenty of space to soak up the island sun or escape to the covered patio and watch the clouds and the sailboats navigate the Sir Francis Drake channel.
Whatever you decide to do on your island vacation, Someday Isle will accommodate your desires and ensure you have a fulfilling vacation. It is described as cozy elegance and a tastefully decorated retreat.
Create memories of a lifetime at Someday Isle!
- "Cannot say enough about Someday Isle. We love the peaceful location of the Coral Bay side of St. John, with the amazing views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel & surrounding BVIs. I spent every morning with a cup of coffee and binoculars; seeing across to Tortola, and over to Norman Island. For the four of us, there was more than enough space. The cottage is a perfect escape for those in your travel group that wish to have a little more independence / privacy. My boys (11 & 9) took full advantage of the refreshing pool that overlooks the bay & beyond. The home has all the gear you need for a trip to the beach (chairs, coolers, noodles). Pam was very gracious and quickly offered suggestions for great dining options in the area. One thing to note is that if you're looking to find a place to eat, don't rely on Google for hours of operation. You're better off just driving by and seeing if it's open or not. I would not hesitate to bring my family back! Thank you so much for your hospitality!"

Salty Kisses & Goodnight Wishes is a one bedroom (with AC), fully equipped, home on the peaceful side of St. John, in lovely Coral Bay.
Coral Bay’s bars, restaurants and small shops are just a few minutes down the road and the North Shore beaches are short 10-minute drive away. And if you are seeking a bit more excitement Cruz Bay is not far and we can even arrange taxi service if you would like to plan a carefree night on the “town”.
While you can always enjoy a gentle breeze and very few bugs the house also features ceiling fans and AC.
The bedroom has a luxurious queen size bed, DISH television and DVD player, and offers beautiful views of the lush green mountains from the slider doors that lead to the expansive deck.
The living room is inviting and offers a carefully curated library of books that tell you the story of St. John (fiction and non fiction) as well as a collection of games, birding books and binoculars to enjoy the daily feathered visitors. DISH television and DVD player and Bluetooth speakers allow you to play your own soundtrack for your stay in paradise.
The full kitchen has everything you could want including; microwave; dishwasher; coffee maker, toaster, blender; full sets of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, knives etc. unleash your inner chef if you are so inclined. Or enjoy the delicious selection of restaurants situated in Coral Bay.
The deck offers a lovely view of Coral Bay harbor and has a dining area as well as comfy outdoor sofa. In fact that is where we spend most of our time when we are there!
Private driveway and quiet neighborhood make this a perfect place to relax and let Love City recharge your soul.
WIFI provided and AT&T cell signal is excellent at the property.
- "The property was even nicer than we had imagined. It looked out over Coral Bay, and located a short drive from restaurants and the town. Also not far from the spectacular north shore beaches. Amanda was lovely, and was keen to make sure everything went well for us. For those unfamiliar with the area, this location is at the other end of St John from the main town of Cruz Bay and the resorts. A jeep is not essential, but get something with power and clearance because the major roads are narrow, steep, and are either winding upwards or plunging downwards. Fortunately, Amanda's house is comparatively easy to access. The views as you drive around are spectacular. Roads there are populated by "wild" donkeys, goats, deer, iguanas, occassional hermit crabs, and other jeeps, which are also on the wrong side of the road. Fun places to eat are close by, as are markets to buy food. These are not suburban supermarkets, however, and the prices reflect how far the food has to travel to get to you. The people are a lot of fun, and get pizza at the Salty Mongoose and hang out there. You will need insect repellant esp around sunset, because of the no-see-ums. And coral-friendly sunblock. The best coral snorkeling is probably at Hawksnest, and Maho beach has turtles if you snorkel out toward where the boats moor. You can rent snorkel fins and mask for about ten dollars a day at the dive shack."

The Caribbean in front of you, stretching beyond your imagination. Water rippling below you in every shade of blue, dotted with sailboats and world-class yachts. Harmony Retreat for two awaits, ready to shelter you in the harmony that only the island of St. John can bring. Sit on one of the private balconies, bask in the brand new dipping pool-heated spa, or relax in the air-conditioned villa. In Harmony Retreat is a luxurious one-bedroom villa on Seagrape Hill in Coral Bay, St. John, the hot new in spot on the island with an old Caribbean feel. Just voted #4 in New York Times as Top 52 Places To Visit. From this stunning hilltop, you can see from the town of Coral Bay, with its beckoning restaurants and bars, to the shores and mountains of the British Virgin Islands across the sea. Because of it's higher location on Seagrape Hill, it has gentle breezes and stellar views that lower homes just can't offer.
In Harmony is just minutes from the famous pristine beaches of the National Park. Hike the park's trails or dive into the warm waters. There is plenty to do only a phone call away, such as kayaking, diving, snorkeling, swimming, and fishing.
And not only is there plenty to do, there is also plenty not to do. In Harmony Retreat is so comfortable you may not want to leave. Inside In Harmony, there are custom-built cypress-wood walls, cable television, and high-speed Internet access. Enjoy the Caribbean-style four-poster bed. Make yourself at home in the state-of-the-art kitchen, replete with hand-crafted cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Have a private chef or masseuse come up to spoil you.
Outside you can grill on the new barbecue, or lounge in the dipping pool-spa. Look down on half a dozen islands or read a book under a palm tree. Pick your new favorite tropical flower from the unique island landscaping. Watch the sun set in breathtaking shades of pink and yellow or the moon rise over the Caribbean at midnight. Count the shooting stars and the wishes you make on them. Also, check out the brand new Sea Palace Retreat 1 or 2 BR next lot over. Both totally private and nothing shared.
In Harmony Retreat is ready to cater to your vacation needs.

- "Enjoyed our stay at In Harmony Retreat. Has all the basics and essentials needed. A/C works great in the bedroom, which is all I care about, not needed in main areas, not there during the day anyway, plus when we were, there was a good breeze that kept it cool enough. Plus the dipping pool was great for cooling off. The view is the best thing about the rental, absolutely amazing. Location is good as well, close to a restaurant and two stores for groceries and booze. Also the best beaches are pretty close by. But it’s far enough away from Cruz bay that it’s pretty quiet and laid back. Paul the caretaker is a great help with anything you need or questions you might have. Sebastian the cat was cool too! Lol. So overall everything was great, really have nothing negative to say about our stay. Will be back next year."

- "Check-in was easy and property manger was very responsive and flexible with check-in. House is in great condition and well provisioned. Hard to beat the view. In a great location to the northshore beaches but long drive from Cruz Bay. No location on the island works for everything. Highly recommend. Would stay here again." - "The house was very spacious and had amazing views. The kitchen was fully equipped and very well stocked with handy pantry extras. The counters seemed like they weren’t super clean but I wiped them and it was fine. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable with good mattresses, pillows and linens. Be aware there is only an outdoor staircase to the lower bedrooms so I was a little nervous with my kiddos downstairs but it was fine because they’re on the older end. I probably should’ve realized from the description but it didn’t really occur to me. The pool was a good size for the kids to play in and my husband and I to cool off and relax. And of course the views are incredible. Plenty of seating around the pool as well. We had good Wi-Fi and Mark was very helpful in meeting us at the base of the mountain and showing us around the house after guiding us up. If you’ve not been to St. John before the steep roads can be a little scary but you get used to it. The only part of our stay I wasn’t really satisfied with was that the washing machine is a front loader that had gotten mold on the gasket. It wasn’t a huge deal to me because we had enough swimsuits and clothes, so I didn’t bring it up to Mark, but if I was counting on doing laundry I would have. I did have other questions and he was helpful and responsive."

Parking is tight on a main road so if you can squeeze your guests into one car that is definitely recommended !" - "Our first time on St. John. Everything was perfect, optimum location between north and south beaches, house is beautifully placed right on bay shore, equipped with absolutely everything you would need during the stay. Close to shops and restaurants, communication with host also great, having a greater lead us from the dock and giving a tour of the house was really helpful. We had a great time!"

Bon Bini features a well-equipped kitchen, suitable for making meals during a relaxing evening in. The living area offers a cozy couch with views, air conditioning, an indoor dining table, and a private and spacious attached half bath. The kitchen, living room area, and half bathroom make up one building of Bon Bini Cottage.
The second building of the cottage is home to the private & quaint bedroom with attached full bathroom. Complete with a queen sized bed, it is outfitted with air conditioning to keep you cool after a day in the St. John sun. The attached bathroom (constructed in November 2024) offers an indoor shower, clothes washer/dryer and large vanity.
At Bon Bini Cottage, the private deck is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun rises or listen to the enchanting sounds of tree frogs at night. Relaxing in the hot tub for two under the stars is a wonderful way to end the day. The outdoor shower showcases the view of Coral Bay while still being completely private.

Finally, it is important that we note to guests that a cat named Sebastian visits the cottage frequently and enjoys being pet. Sebastian has a comfortable home with plenty of food and water (he is not a stray cat!), but enjoys making his rounds at all the houses on the hillside. If you do not enjoy the company of roaming cats (or possibly other wildlife), Bon Bini Cottage may not be well-suited for your time on St. John.
The location of the cottage is the perfect mix of tranquility and convenience. A quick drive down the mountain leads you to the town of Coral Bay. Various restaurants (many with with live music), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops are all located within a five or ten minute drive.

Visitors looking to enjoy the locals crowd on the beaches can venture to the East End of St. John or Salt Pond and Lameshur Bays in 20 minutes.
Please note that we have one NEST camera in the driveway/parking area. This camera records movement, but not sound.

- "We had such a wonderful time at Jack & Julie's place! They communicated all of the ferry information beforehand so we'd know where to go and had a taxi waiting at the ferry dock to take us to the condo. It was pouring rain when we arrived - Jack met us at the taxi with umbrellas and helped us get into the condo. The condo itself was lovely. Everything you could need in the kitchen, eating areas both inside and outside, comfy beds with cold A/C, and a swing that overlooks Coral Bay (incredible sunrise!). One of the best things was being able to drink the tap water - it's triple-filtered and honestly better than some bottled water. We were able to save so much money on water during our stay! All of the extras that Jack & Julie provided really helped make it a relaxing vacation. They provide beach towels, chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and snorkel gear - so awesome! And, of course, Julie's homemade bread for breakfast was just the icing on the cake - so so delicious. Jack & Julie are the nicest folks, and their place was such a lovely place to stay. 10/10 recommend!"

- "It's our second time around so no needs to say much. The house now has solar power and water pump. A little hitcup with ice dispenser frozen but Joy took great care of us. There was sands on the sofar so we shook it off outside, no biggie but that's why there are a 4 for cleanliness. No laundry detergent either so we made do with hand soap 😁. Hope to go back again soon when we all gear up for the no see ums." - "My husband and I have been coming to St. John for many years. We love the Coral Bay side of the island, and we found that Little Palm offered us quick access to the beautiful beaches, hiking trails...and of course local favorites like Skinny Legs! We always bring food with us, so we enjoyed the BBQ and well equipped kitchen. We slept primarily in the lower master bathroom for the breezes...and the fans kept the temps nice. The highlight of this stay was sitting on the screened-in porch playing cribbage, reading, and relaxing while enjoying the harbor view. Highly recommend, and thank you Rik and Ann!"

Highly recommended!" - "I cannot say enough good things about the property itself .. or the wonderful communication throughout the rental process with Greg and Paul. The entire experience was 10/10 and exceeded all expectations. Also - I did want to mention I was concerned with renting the listing due to mentions of the cat on the property due to being allergic (anaphylaxis allergic) and I am happy to report Sebastian warded off the birds but kept his distance. The property was clean and the view was breathtaking. If you have the opportunity to book. Do it. Thank you again Greg Paul and Sebastian. It was an unforgettable trip :)"

Villa Agel is a spacious and elegant villa set on a knoll overlooking Coral Bay offering 180 degree views of Coral Bay, Drake's Passage, and the British Virgin Islands. Though it is only minutes from the best beaches and restaurants in the Caribbean, guests enjoy complete privacy, whether sunning by the large pool or dining outside in the shade of palm trees and flowering bougainvillea. You'll fall asleep to the gentle lapping of waves on the nearby shore. To add to your comfort, the villa is solar powered with battery back-up should the island loose power.
Exceptional design, craftsmanship, and landscaping set Villa Agel apart. Traditional West Indian stone walls and arches are complemented by rich mahogany woodwork. You will enjoy the well-equipped spacious granite and mahogany kitchen. A formal dining area and living room wrap around the central stone tower, a separate wet bar is great for entertaining, the view out the window is spectacular, and opens up to a generous deck with 180 view with incredible sunrises and stargazing.
Off each side of the main living area, are two large masters with air conditioning, vaulted ceilings, and en-suites. Both (one king and one queen) have traditional Caribbean mahogany four poster beds, views of Coral Bay, sliders or french doors that open onto the pool deck, and outdoor showers with tropical plants and beautiful stonework that are high enough for privacy.
At the heart of this remarkable compound is a generous and very private pool, bordered by terracotta tile decks and lounge chairs to delight sun worshipers. If you prefer shade, two pergolas, mature palms, and lush tropical gardens offer several quiet, shady retreats. Antique brick arches surround an expansive covered gallery overlooking the pool and Coral Bay and provide access to two more master suites with air conditioning, en-suites, queen-size beds, views of Coral Bay, sliders to pool deck, and each has a private balcony with Coral Bay Harbor views!
The 5th bedroom is located downstairs near the parking area. It is the largest of all the bedrooms and boasts a king bed and a twin futon, views of Coral Bay (including from the shower), kitchenette, stonework, and AC.
Privacy is given very high priority at Villa Agel. While the managers are on-sight, they are on a separate level. Yet close enough to give personal attention. Schedules permitting, they will meet you at the villa to acquaint you with everything. You may never want to leave.
BASE RATE - 8 PEOPLE IN 4 BEDROOMS

Catch and Keep is just what so many budget-minded travelers dream of finding. For less than the price of a condominium or trendy eco-tent you can experience living in a real island home- built to capture the Trade Winds with 1/2 acre set in Nature. The cottage is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and best of all, authentic. The affordable pricing may let you stay longer, or treat yourself to a day sail or massage. With today's emphasis on 'eco-tourism' you can experience how a 'traditional' island-style home fits into its environment in ways that appreciate the culture and architecture of the island and respects it unique environment.
In scenic Coral Bay, 'Catch 'n' Keep' is a charming, West Indies-style home. Just ten to 15 minutes from nearby white sand beaches, the cottage sits on a half acre of wooded hillside, with a panoramic view of the Carolina valley and its stone sugar mill ruins. Plants and trees native to the environment have been encouraged and a large variety of native birds feel at home in the neighborhood.
Catch 'n' Keep is nestled in a quiet cul de sac off a secondary road with only neighbors passing by, with shaded parking right next to the entrance. Three small markets nearby make relaxing easier , as do a choice of eateries for those who really want to 'wind down' Well-sited to catch the cooling Tradewinds, the cottage is fully screened and Hunter ceiling fans are more than sufficient. Six large double doors open onto two covered decks where you can grill out with a Weber gas grill and dine in the fresh air. Or lounge in the hammock or deck couchand enjoy the country view, tropical breezes, and beautiful sunrises and starry evening sky.
The full kitchen is charmingly decorated with folk art and hand-painted ceramics collected by the owner in her travels. The bathroom features native stonework in the shower and full amenities. A comfortable queen-size bed with four pillows and sun-dried cotton linens awaits you.
The cottage is thoughtfully appointed for your comfort, and includes guidebooks, WiFI,and and streaming, lots of vacation reading, and games. You will also find beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers for your beach days. A variety of restaurants, eclectic shopping, kayaking, hiking, and live music are conveniently nearby in the Coral Bay area. Not as developed as the Cruz Bay side of island, you will find Coral Bay less trafficked, more relaxing and exactly your dream of what an island get-away should be like with not trying to find downtown Cruz Bay parking

- "This was our 6th visit to St. John. The cottage was just what we needed. This is the first time we stayed on a property where the owner was actually onsite. Judy was a wonderful host! We were so grateful to have her staying in her apartment below us for our visit. Our trip was unusual as my husband had an accident and needed medical care. Judy was a tremendous support and resource for us! She even offered to drive us into the clinic. The porch on the cottage was a lovely spot to relax. And we made good use of it as my husband needed a day or two at homebase because of his injuries. Fergus, her little dog was so sweet! He would come up quietly when we would get back from the beach, greeting us, and welcoming us “home.” Once we said hello he toddled off. He’d just come up to say hello! Judy was there when we needed her but mostly busy with what she had going on, so it wasn’t intrusive at all having her below us. Despite my husband’s accident, we were able to relax and enjoy the rest of our stay. We loved that the home was self sufficient with energy and true to the concept of ecotourism, but still had the modern necessities. We cook in every night and we had everything we needed. I know that the constant fresh air that came through the cottage with those wonderful tropical breezes helped my husbands skin wounds to heal so much faster than if we had come back stateside right after his accident. Thank you, Judy for a restful vacation!"

Coral Bay is St. John’s “other” community. It is a colorful, laid back and friendly small town. The name Coral Bay also refers to the neighborhood that surrounds St. John’s largest bay (Coral Bay).
Its location is perfect - a three minute walk to Coco Lobo shopping, Aqua Bistro restaurant and Dolphin Market. Twelve minutes walk (three minute drive) takes you to Skinny Legs restaurants and shopping. Overall, if you’re a devotee of Coral Bay (and many of our guests are) this is an excellent location, a lovely home, and a very good price.
Bay House was completed in 2000 and is similar in design to the popular villa One Particular Harbor, with both homes having been built by the same designer/builder. From the parking area of this 2-level home you ascend stone stairs to the upper level, which houses the kitchen, dining and living rooms and half bath. Screened sliding glass doors provide picturesque views from anywhere on the top floor. Interior stairs take you down to the two equal sized, air-conditioned bedrooms and the bedroom deck on the lower level.
The 20 x 10 foot pool and the sun deck are located at mid level on the southeast side of the house and enjoy sun from morning to mid afternoon, plus lovely harbor views and cooling breezes.
LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN. The living room is furnished with comfortable furniture for four and is equipped with a Smart TV..
Bay House offers a choice of interior or exterior dining. The inside dining table seats 4, while both upper and lower decks offer dining for 4 with scenic harbor views. There is a gas grill, cooler and beach chairs available for guests.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a stainless steel four-burner gas stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cookware, dinnerware and a telephone. A washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, are also included.
BEDROOMS. The bedrooms are equal in size, one with a king bed and the other with 2 twin beds that convert to a king. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned and have tiled baths with showers. Each bedroom has screened sliding glass doors that open on to the lower deck offering cooling trade winds and harbor views.
LOCATION. To get to the Bay House you drive from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay (Coral Bay - Western hillside), and turn onto the scenic harbor road that runs along the west side of Coral Bay. Just after you pass the Aqua Bistro restaurant you make a short climb up the hill that overlooks Coral Bay Harbor and you’re home.
The delightful National Park beaches at Salt Pond Bay and Lameshur Bay are a 10 minute drive, and it’s a very scenic 20-30 minute drive over Bordeaux Mountain into Cruz Bay, all on paved roads. For restaurants and bars in the Coral Bay area, you can walk to the Aqua Bisto, Sweet Plantains or Island Blues Restaurants and Caribbean inspired shops, or drive 2-10 minutes to 6 other restaurants, gas and groceries.

- "The house was just as described, very clean, and we loved our stay with 2 teens. We loved being able to walk to a few restaurants and hear the music below some afternoons/evenings while sitting on the deck or pool. I watched the sunrise every day which is one of my favorite vacation activities. We found driving around easy and fun. We did a great day snorkel charter with Salty Daze. We even saw a full rainbow over the harbor one day. Thank you for a great stay!"

Refresh yourself in the inviting pool, which offers stunning views of Hurricane Hole in the National Park, and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands… watch the boats glide by, or soak in the hot tub in the evening and count the shooting stars.
Early risers will be delighted by the gorgeous sunrises to the east. In the evening of the full moon phase, Estate Fortsberg affords phenomenal views of the moonrise. Look northward to the towering island of Tortola and Southeast to distant Norman Island.
