Beautiful Rhumb Runner Home

Rhumb Runner is a lovely home which is very well situated in Coral Bay. The house is very clean and comfortable. The views from the porch are exquisite showing the nearby bay with various sailing crafts and the various islands and mountains in the distance. The owners are from time to time on site in the nearby caretaker cottage and can answer questions about the island.

Chris & Mike, Gosh, not sure where to start. First and foremost, THANK YOU! We've had an amazing first trip to St. John thanks to both of you. What a fabulous way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday. Your home in Coral Bay is warm and inviting and of course to view is .....WOW! All of your recommendations were spot on. The guys at L&L Jeep rental were great, Bob Schlesinger at Tropical Focus made our photo shoot such fun and the Calypso Charter's Bad Kitty excursion to the Virgin Gorda's was a blast. We did the Ram's Head and Brown Bay hikes and enjoyed the sun and snorkeling at the various beaches. We enjoyed all of the local dining fare from Skinny Legs, Aqua Bistro, and the Tourist Trap. In Cruz Bay we found Woody's Seafood Grill happy hour to be quite lively and the view of the sunset from the High Tide bar and grill was beautiful. The Ocean Grill and Morgan's Mango at Mongoose Junction both had amazing food, but we did find Morgan's Mango to have a friendlier staff. We will be thinking of you when the snow flies in Wisconsin and will be pulling from all our memories here to get us through the 6 months of winter there. Don't be surprised when you hear from us with a request to rent from you again. Thank you again for everything!

We have been home for less than a week and we are truly missing the beautiful view and breezes of Ruhmb Runners. What an adventure... My children/young adults and I had the most delightful time at this home and on this island. Mike & Chris Jordan could not have been more helpful and available for all questions. The weather was humid but had a wonderful breeze in the house. Once I mastered the driveway, I looked forward to our daily returns to this nest from our beach outings. We would return in a heartbeat.

WONDERFUL, BEST VACATION SPOT EVER!

Our stay at Rhumb Runners was fabulous, the best vacation ever! The pictures don't do the place justice, its beautiful, and well kept. The views are phenomenal from all angles of the house. We loved the porch and watching the bannanaquits every morning. Mike and Chris were so helpful, and everything they recommended was excellant. Out favorite restaurants were Donkey Diner for breakfast, and Miss Lucy's (best Sunday brunch ever). We loved Aqua Bistro for dinner, and our favorite for lunch was the Tourist Trap. Favorite beaches are Trunk Bay, Francis Bay and Lameshur Bay. Already planning to go back. Thank you for everything.

We really enjoyed our time in the U.S.V.I. St. John afforded us many wonderful experiences that we will not soon forget. Time seemed to slow down for us as we took advantage of the walking trails, the fine restaurants, and the beaches. Our stay at Rhumb Runners was fantastic, and proved to be a great starting point for each day's exploration. The view from the porch offers a beautiful view of the bay, and the sunrises were spectacular. The evening vista provides a romantic and relaxing interlude, with the evening sky awash in stars. We can't say enough good things about Rhumb Runners, and do plan to return. We highly recomend Rhumb Runners for a wonderful stay!! Trust us, you will not regret it!!!

Outstanding Week on St. John's

Review Submitted: 02/15/11
We are two couples who have visited St. John's on several occasions on our sailboat but never before stayed on land. We wanted to visit the Coral Bay area and get to know some of the beaches and restaurants not experienced on prior visits. Rhumb Runners was the perfect base for our visit. The house was clean and well appointed and we enjoyed early morning hours in the porch rockers watching the bananaquits feed on sugar as we sipped on coffee and hot tea. The pool was private and a delight--not too cool to enjoy in mid-winter. Chris and Mike offered good suggestions for the best restaurants, beaches and other sites and were helpful from the start. Knowing they just a phone call away on St. Thomas was nice even though everything at the house was perfect. The recently renovated kitchen made kitchen duty fun though with restaurants nearby, cooking was minimized. Staying at Rhumb Runners was a great way to celebrate our Aquarian birthdays together. The house exceeded our expectations. We will recommend it to friends with enthusiasm!

My wife and I have vacationed in Villa's on St. John since 2003 and have never stayed at a Villa with such a breath taking view. It seemed every time we would turn around the views were changing. It was memorizing each time! The pictures shown of the villa really don't do it justice. The breeze was refreshing all day long to keep us cool. At night it was very quite and peaceful. The only time this was not true was from 7 to 10pm on a few of the nights you could here music from some of the local businesses below. Which my wife and I really enjoyed listening to. We were a short beautiful drive to all of the beaches and far enough from the main town to feel alone in our own paradise. This Villa offers everything you need to have an unforgettable vacation and this would be our first choice every time. Thank you Mike and Chris!

A magical Christmas vacation
Guest: Jane

Review Submitted: 01/10/11
After a long day of travel, walking in to Rhumb Runner, felt like our sanctuary. Christmas music was softly playing, the dining table was set, fresh flowers and plants, throughout. Mike and Chris made it feel like "our" holiday home. Each morning, we enjoyed feeding the bananaquit, as we sipped our coffee on the deck. The villa is at the top of the hill at the end of the road...extremely quiet, very safe, with an awesome view. The perfect venue for celebrating our first Christmas away from New England! Staying in Coral Bay, we experienced a friendly, warm welcome at all the restaurants and shops. We were so happy staying at Rhumb Runner and we hope to return again next year!

Fabulous – Look no further

If you are looking for a quiet, private two bedroom villa overlooking a beautiful bay on St. John, look no further. My wife and I decided to stay at Rhumb Runners based upon the renter reviews. They are all five star ratings. I really cannot say anything that has not already been said. Mike and Chris are wonderful to work with. Mike made sure we were prepared before we got to the island and Chris met us to show us around the villa when we arrived and answered all of our questions and answered questions we didn’t know to ask. Her tip to visit Rams Head Trail among her suggested trails to hike is not to be missed. The villa was spotless. The views are spectacular from every room, but the view from the wraparound porch is particularly so. The beds are comfortable as is the rest of the furniture and the new kitchen is really great. We did not cook much other than toast for breakfast, but we did have Ted from Ted’s Supper Club prepare dinner one evening. He had no problem preparing the best meal we had on the island in the new kitchen. Mike it is time to update the kitchen picture. Thanks, Mike and Chris. We hope to be back soon.
