About this property

Breathtaking Panoramic Views of the British Virgin Islands from hot tub & pool!

Situated on the breezy mountain top of Upper Carolina, Papaya Moon Villa Estate consists of an owners apartment on the upper level and on the middle level has two beautifully renovated independent studio suites, "A Place in the Sun" and "Suite Papaya". Shared amenities include several large covered and uncovered decks, outdoor grill, pool and pool deck and a garden hot tub located on the upper level with views of Hurricane hole, the East end of St. John and the British Virgin Islands. This VERY private home is situated on a large piece of land in a tropical island setting. If you are looking for one of the most private villas on St. John, "A Place in the Sun" deserves your careful consideration. With easy access to the Northshore beaches, Coral Bay restaurants and bars, phenomenal views, and a full list of guest amenities, this special Upper Carolina property provides its guests with a vacation full of peace and tranquility. The pool and large pool deck area is located on the lower level of the villa. The area is a beautiful garden setting with professional landscaping and comfortable furniture for sunning, reading, or just plain relaxation. While previous visitors rave about St. John's beautiful landscapes and seascapes, the views of the nighttime sky is equally incredible. Guests at "Papaya Moon Villa" are inspired by the intensity of the beauty of our stars and moon. What better place to view the beauty than in our comfortable spa!
The property consists of well-established tropical gardens containing Palms, Coconuts, Papayas, Bananas, Plantains, Coffee, citrus trees and an abundance of fragrant tropical plants and flowers.

Newly renovated the casual interiors of these Caribbean suites are painted with bright island colors and are furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan seating. Each unit has a bedroom, bath and kitchenette are both located on the middle level, entering down a staircase off a deck that you enter from a concrete paved road.

A Place in the Sun sleeps two comfortably, it features a King bed, platform daybed sitting-room, and faces both south and east, capturing stunning sunrises and trade winds making AC not necessary.

Absolutely beautiful place
Friendly and helpful hosts. A view that's absolutely stunning and a clean lovely vrbo. Sue and Ron were wonderful. The gardens they've created are stunning. We enjoyed our stay in Coral Bay immensely and would love to stay with them again.

Beautiful Place
The property was beautiful and the hosts were gracious and very generous. When our plane was cancelled they did not hesitate to help us by allowing us to stay. This did not surprise us but was very much appreciated

Great views, Great Deck, Great Hosts
Located in the upper Carolinas the views are great, and the evening breezes keep you nice and cool at night. The deck is huge and spacious, and Ron and Sue are great hosts. Definitely a great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ron Yackel

Host profile image
Sue & Ron Owners of Papaya Moon Villa. We came to St John in February 1989 to celebrate our Birthdays. Sue immediately fell in love with it and we decided to move there and try it for one year. We did not want to say "We wish We would have". It took almost 2 years to find Papaya Moon.

Why they chose this property

This was our home for 13 years until we moved back to the states to take care of our aging parents. We loved the fact that it was so secluded and still is and we thing we have one of the best views on island.

What makes this property unique

Papaya Moon is centrally located on island so we are close to our favorite beaches on the North as well as the South shore. The pool and Hot Tub are what make it nice for additional enjoyment and/or relaxation when not at a beach.
