The weather was: Pleasant=|> 82 and sunny. There was cloud cover and some evening rain. The breeze was wonderful. Our favorite adventures: SNORKELING!! Maho Bay was our favorite. Great snorkeling by the rocks. Trunk Bay was beautiful w/clear and refreshing water. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool at the end of the day.

Great restaurants we discovered: We only ate at Skinny Legs, but the burgers & Mahi were wonderful. Other thoughts to share: Our experience has been an adventure that we would not trade. The USVI are beautiful & the memories will last a life time. Thanks for a great house and the opportunity to have the adventure of a life time. Thanks!

Bo Atabey perfect for two couples

Guest: Allyssa, Barry, Katie & David
Date of Stay: 05/08/10 Review Submitted: 11/23/10

The weather was: Generally hot and sunny, but overnight downpours some of them very heavy, most nights. Our favorite adventures: Hired the sailing boat "Breath" for the day for snorkeling in Newfound Bay and then Flanagan's Island both were fantastic. Also very much enjoyed Waterlemon and Hansen Bay for snorkeling. We would also recommend the hike from Salt Pond to Ram Head- Terrific sea views and sights back over to St John. Maho Bay is a tranquil and gentle place to get acclimated to snorkeling. Great restaurants we discovered: For Katie & David this was a return trip to Coral Bay and we were once again delighted by Sweet Plantains but lunch at Aqua Bistro also very nice. Other thoughts to share: The people at Crabby's were very helpful in making our day trip on "Breath" possible. (and renting fins etc. for snorkeling) Overall we adore St John as a relaxing place to vacation, but especially Coral Bay with its "undiscovered" feel and sense of community. As far as Bo Atabey, it was perfect for two couples, with lovely furniture, huge doors to let in the breezes, outdoor showers and a highly exciting driveway! Thank you!!

A much needed break

Guest: Michael & Crystal W
Date of Stay: 08/01/09 Review Submitted: 11/23/10

Bob & Linda, Your place is fantastic!!! We had such a great time. Air conditioning was NOT necessary and that's coming From Arizona residents! With the occasional afternoon rain and the evening showers we found it to be quite comfortable. The pool was great, perfect temperature and always clean! The kitchen was fantastic, oven pots pans, etc-love the coffee mugs! The outdoor showers refreshing! The privacy is also perfect-hope you can maintain that! My wife and I have been to many places and we have rented villas before, St Barts, Martha's Vineyard etc,--but we both agreed that yours was the best so far. Coral Bay and the people were just as genuine as could be and the island itself was just a great place to pass time. I lead a pretty hectic business life and this break was much needed and the whole experience really recharged my batteries! Thanks again Bob and Linda and hope to reschedule next year! *** Trunk Bay our favorite. We saw fish as big as our leg! We relaxed, we partied, we had a greaty week.

Coral Bay peacefulness and sense of community

Guest: Ed & Netchen
Date of Stay: 03/21/09 Review Submitted: 11/16/10

Well worth your tremendous effort to build it. Even with a history of a half dozen vacations in the Cruz Bay area, we'll always come to Coral Bay from now on, the peacefulness and sense of community is powerful. Impromptu hightlights included Chef Reggie, Blues festival on Saturday night and Inner Visions on Thursday night wafting up the hill and a memorial service for a character named Jimmy at Skinny Legs. Thanks much, March 2009~ Ed & Netchen K. [Pennsylvania]

December 2008 Our very first guests

Guest: lori
Date of Stay: 12/26/08 Review Submitted: 11/15/10

The weather was: Perfect! Our favorite adventures: Try a sail on the Long Distance, out of Coral Bay with Rick and Robin-rather than feeling like we were clients we felt like we were sailing with old friends. The hike to Rams head is always great-snorkel the left side of Yawzi Point trail-walk halfway down, take the path to the left and snorkel up to the point. Great restaurants we discovered: The Tourist Trap is great! Try the mahi sandwich-the meatballs, the chicken wings, the lobster roll- Shipwreck is always great-Chef Reggie (at Eirlines-the yellow kiosk) great BBQ. Other thoughts to share: WOW what can we say? You've put such care and detail into your beautiful home. We love looking over the harbour at night, morning swims and the cozy casual and tastful decor- I really don't want to leave (I think you understand that feeling!) We love your beautiful home- Thanks for sharing it with us! December 2008~ Lori S. [New York]
