Villa Carolina is a private and serene slice of paradise located in a prestigious area of Coral Bay known as Upper Carolina. Its highly elevated perch is nestled in the hillside bordering the Virgin Islands National Park. The bars, restaurants, and quaint shops of Coral Bay are just five minutes down the hill. The famous North Shore beaches of St. John are less than 10 minutes away. Francis Bay and Maho Bay are the closest. Several beaches toward the East End, like Vie's and Haulover, are also about a 10 minute drive. The incredibly pleasant sands of Salt Pond are maybe 15 minutes away. It's the perfect spot to enjoy both sides of the island.
THIS EXCLUSIVE, GATED LOCATION AFFORDS UNINTERRUPTED, 225 DEGREE, PANORAMIC VIEWS over the Carolina Valley, all of Coral Bay, out the East End of St. John toward Norman, Peter, Salt, Cooper, Ginger, and Beef Islands, and all the way to Virgin Gorda. That's 30 miles! Directly to the northeast is Drake's Channel and West End, Tortola. Spectacular sunrises on the deck are a sight to behold and star gazing evenings are out of this world. It's unforgettable 'postcard' scenery.
Relax on the expansive pool deck. Sit back in the fully reclining lounge chairs, or retreat to the comfortable wicker furniture in the shade. Float the day away in the infinity edge pool. Read a book and watch the sail boats dance the aqua blue Caribbean. Bring the blender outside and mix up a 'Painkiller'. Fire up the barbecue and enjoy a meal of local fish or lobster at the outdoor dining table. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
Wireless internet access is available throughout the house and poolside, for those of you that just can't seem to leave the real world behind. Shame on you.
The spacious Great Room with cathedral ceilings invites you to relax on the plush Tommy Bahama furniture. Five sets of mahogany French doors flow to the sunny pool deck to make for easy outdoor living. Arched breezeways allow the refreshing trade winds to circulate the villa. Ceiling fans abound, and Mexican tile floors are just another touch of class. The gourmet kitchen has everything you need to prepare fantastic meals in style, and your chef will have plenty of room to get down to business. We haven't overlooked a thing; gas range, dishwasher, microwave, large refrigerator with ice maker, coffee maker, toaster, and a kitchen island with an additional bar sink.
Two bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the Great Room for complete couples privacy. They are similar sized master suites and both have French doors overlooking the pool deck. Identical bathrooms have spacious closets, tiled double vanities and open-air stone grotto showers. An internal staircase leads down to the third bedroom with a private deck and a full bath with stone shower. All bedrooms have queen size beds and the third room has an extra daybed. All bedrooms also have A/C, but it's rarely needed because of the great breezes and ceiling fans.
Villa Carolina is extremely popular and has many repeat guests, so we recommend booking early (6 months advanced) to reserve your week in paradise. If for some reason we are not booked within 30 days of your desired vacation time, please contact us, as we often provide discounts for rentals on short notice.
WE APOLOGIZE, BUT BECAUSE OF LEGAL ISSUES WITH THE POOL, WE CANNOT PERMIT CHILDREN AGES 8 MONTHS TO 8 YEARS TO STAY AT VILLA CAROLINA. SORRY. We do occasionally make exceptions. Just ask.

Villa Carolina was spectacular! Even better than the online photos portray. Clean, quiet, comfortable with a magnificent view and a fabulous location. Coral Bay was just wonderful. Salt Pond Bay beach, Miss Lucy's, The Shipwreck, Skinny Legs, Pickles in Paradise sandwich shop. You definitely need a car and driving is part of the adventure. Access to the rest of the island was no problem. We loved exploring all the beaches of St John and hanging out in Cruz Bay a few evenings. Highly recommend Villa Carolina.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Our family found Villa Carolina to be the perfect get away vacation. The property not only lived up to the on-line photos, it exceeded them in many ways. We had all of the conveniences of home nestled in an island paradise. This clean, well appointed property was a fantastic choice! The kids had a great time exploring nature and snorkeling at the many beautiful beaches. Each day was a new adventure. This was the first time we planned a non-resort vacation and we could not be any happier with out decision to stay at Villa Carolina. We will be back!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Sharon, What a magnificent home you have; the views, the location, the views, the comfort, the views, the layout, the views!! It wasn't easy to return home, which we did in a snowstorm. In fact we didn't think we could get up our driveway through all the snow and drifts. We did, and now we have wonderful memories of our time in St. John. We throughly enjoyed all the island had to offer, but really your home was the star attraction. To wake up in the morning to those gorgeous sunrises, sit on the patio overlooking the pool and beyond was a dream.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Villa Carolina was the perfect spot for our family Christmas! The villa exceeded all of our expectations - the views were the best I have ever seen! The house was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook an elaborate beef tenderloin Christmas dinner. The owner was very attentive and checked in periodically to make sure everything was perfect! We are already planning our next trip and can't wait to return the peace and splendor of Villa Carolina and St. John!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My wife and I stayed at Caneel Bay 8 years ago for our honeymoon and this was our first trip back to St John. What a difference! Although Caneel Bay is very nice, having a Jeep to explore, and being on the "other side" of the island was exactly what we were looking for. We really like the laid back vibe over there, and to have Villa Carolina as our home base, was perfect. Views were amazing, we thought that there was no way they would look as spectacular as the photos, but they were even better. We were also lucky to have a full moon every night over Sir Francis Drake Channel, and enjoyed just sitting out on the patio soaking it in. House was very clean and had everything we could have wanted. The owners called after our first day to see if we needed anything or had questions, which was very considerate. We will definitely look forward to coming back to Villa Carolina.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

This property was beautiful and the owner local agent were both very helpful. The house and grounds are well maintained. The wildlife we saw in the yard included deer, hawks, humming birds, chameleons, and a variety of birds. The views of the bays, ocean, and surrounding islands are incredible. St. John can be a place to be active or just relax and enjoy the beauty. We chose the latter. We would relax in the sun at the pool of the villa in the morning and then head to a different beach each day with a packed lunch. The Coral Bay restaurants can't be beat for a relaxing dinner. We hope to be able to return soon and would chose Villa CarolinaRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Very good things to say about our stay at Villa Carolina this past August. My wife and I have vacationed at several villas on Coral Bay over the past few years, but none with the breathtaking views that V. Carolina had of the entire east end of the island. The house has an awesome, open layout that looks out over it all. The upstairs showers are amazing; it feels like you're in a grotto, with natural light and a breeze coming in (but fully privacy). Unlike some of the other places we've stayed, it's also a great house to bring kids, as the third bedroom is part of the main house as opposed to a separate floor that needs to be accessed from outside. Highly recommend. Oh, almost forgot - the infinity pool that overlooks the great views makes for a great way to start or end every day when you're not on the beach.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

WOW...what a great time we had at Villa Caroilna!! the views and surronding hillside ambience are PHENOMENAL!!!..I normally don't write reviews but after seeing the view of the night sky, while floating in the infinity pool sipping a painkiller, I told myself, I had to remember to write about this place..words are hard to describe the wonders of the Villa..great architecture and wonderful grotto showers added to the overall luxury of this gem..wide doors leading to the pool deck with a view of Tortola and the Drake Channel with too many barrier islands to name. Great access to local beaches and a quick trip to Coral Bay to Lily's Market for a few needed things made the place a wonderful location...Wish I could be there year round, but alas...Can't wait to book my next trip to this wonderful place..stayed at other places on St. John over the years and nothing compares to this place..Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Villa Carolina was the perfect villa for his couple from North Carolina! The online photos just do not do it justice.Once you see this beautiful hillside villa & take in the most relaxing and gorgeous "million dollar views," it will take your breath away!! I am such a photography buff that I ended up taking over 900 photos of the villa with its spectacular views to the east of the Virgin Gorda, Tortola, Hurricane Hole & the East End.The postcard views of Coral Bay from the pool deck overlooking the large, infinity-style pool were unbelieveable! Villa Carolina is beautifully decorated with very comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked with "everything" that you need for the little cooking that we did. The private master bedroom suite offered refreshing linens and A/C after a relaxing day by the pool or beach. Some of our favorites were finding the groceries that had been pre-stocked by Christy's of St. John before we got there.Our flight was delayed twice prior to our arrival to St. Thomas, so when we finally did grill the steaks and enjoy the beer/wine on the pool deck, it was all worth it! Our most favorite was lounging by the pool all day, working on our tans, relaxing, reading, enjoying rum & coke, listening to 101.9 R & B music & chilling!! We kept saying, "it just doesn't get any better than this!" We are always in search of turquoise/blue water and found it at Vie's Beach, Maho Bay, Hawksnest and Trunk Bay.Trunk Bay is not to be missed! WOW!! The water is sooo clear, and the waves gently flow onto the beach. With its soft-sand beach and crystal-clear water it was really tough leaving this one! Boy, the photos I took here & at the overlook area were "out of this world & picture postcard perfect! This was the prettiest beach we have EVER seen!! Don't miss some of the fine restaurants that are in the surrounding areas of Villa Carolina. We enjoyed cool breezes/drinks at Island Blues, good burgers at Skinny Legs, delicious creole at Sweet Plantains & Shipwreck Landing. Enjoyed Shipwreck Landing sooo much that we ended up going back twice to enjoy the cool breezes and our last meal of Nut-crusted chicken with a chutney mango sauce along with a Raspberry mango colada drink! Absolutely delicious & service was great!. Villa Carolina is a special place for us & this was a much needed vacation..one we will cherish. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to share a slice of their paradise...if only for a week!!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Salt Pond Bay View on map
Arguably one of the nicest beaches on the island. A short walk down a rather flat trail opens up to a postcard of sugar sand beach and aqua blue waters. Good for turtle sightings. Also the start of the Ram's Head hike and the path to Drunk Bay. Shade is kind of limited. No facilities.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1988
About the owner: We have been visiting St. John for about 25 years. This incredible island grabbed a hold of us on our first trip, and we had hoped to one day have our own piece of paradise. We've been fortunate enough to make that happen, and lucky enough to share it with others.
Why the Owner Chose Coral Bay:
If you've ever visited St. John, then you can certainly understand why anyone would want to own a home here. We chose the Coral Bay area to be 'on the quiet side' and we choose the homesite for the view and elevated location. We also considered this a very easy and convenient spot to enjoy both sides of the island. While looking at the property for a possible purchase back in 1988, we had to climb a tree to see the view. We almost fell out! When we had the home built in 2000 and 2001, we made sure to leave that tree, and it is right at the top of the driveway now.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
The location of the property provides for some of the best views on the island. There's just no way that any picture can do it justice. Sunrises are truly amazing. The Villa borders the National Park and is totally private. There is no through traffic. A true escape.
