"Anchorage Aweigh" is our brand-new exquisite 1 bedroom villa overlooking Coral Bay harbor.
Please note our calendar is accurate and up to date. We have more guest reviews on Trip Advisor as well.
You’ll enjoy the gourmet kitchen with all of the amenities expected for the master chef. All of the appliances are brand new and include a full-size refrigerator, gas range, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen has a raised bar with four barstools.
There are golden granite countertops and travertine marble floors throughout the cottage, as well as on the two covered porches. Eat at the spacious raised bar, or enjoy meals al fresco on the outdoor dining table with Coral Bay harbor and the Moravian church as your backdrop.
The quaint and cozy living area features a leather couch, coffee table and chairs. There is an entertainment center which includes a surround sound stereo system with IPod dock, video and book library and Wi-Fi center. It’s a comfortable place for relaxing and reliving your St. John experiences.
There is a full bath off the living area with a granite countertop. Exit the second door into the outdoor stone shower. It is made with local stone and is decorated with seashells.
There is a rectangular opening facing the harbor. Enjoy the experience of showering under the star- filled sky overlooking the mellow glow of the Coral Bay evening. There is an arched doorway leading onto the covered porch, including a swinging half-sized "bar" door.
Sit and enjoy a cool drink in the swing on the breezy, covered porch while watching the sailboats bobbing on the harbor. The spacious upstairs covered deck features a porch swing, an outdoor living room set (loveseat, 2 chairs w/ottomans and coffee table) and a beautiful outdoor dining table. The floor is travertine marble. There is a stainless steel cable railing system, so as not to impede the incredible view of the church and harbor.
There are two ways to access the downstairs bed, bath and covered porch. You can use the the beautiful indoor cherry spiral staircase or use the outdoor stairs that wrap around from the front door to the downstairs covered porch. The downstairs bedroom features a queen bed, oversized dresser, nightstands and a small closet. There is a 32" plasma flatscreen tv mounted in the bedroom, along with a DVD player as well as a DVR player allowing you to record shows of interest while you're at the beach.
There is also a half-bathroom on this level. Opening the sliding glass door brings you out onto the downstairs covered porch. There are beach coolers and two backpack-style beach chairs.
Sunday mornings are a special time here. You’ll hear the church bells ring at 9:00 am. The traditions of this historic, over 250 year old, Moravian church can be felt through the choral singing that drifts up the hillside. It’s an extraordinary experience you’ll not soon forget.
Coral Bay is located on the quiet, mellow side of St. John. A 2-minute drive down the hill will bring you to a variety of shopping, restaurant and entertainment options. Beaches and the National Park hiking trails can all be found a short distance away.
You'll definitely want a rental car so you can take advantage of some of the most pristine views of the lush, tropical hillsides and aqua blue seas. The "busy" town of Cruz Bay is a 20 minute drive away.
This house has been an ongoing dream of ours and we have taken great pride in the construction of it. You can see our hard work at our blog that can be found on Google under our cottage's name.
We have just completed a gorgeous 10 x 20 mosaic tiled swimming pool overlooking the harbor, with a 450 sq. ft. pool deck and adjacent tropical garden.

We could not have been more happy with our stay at Anchorage Aweigh. It is a short drive up Sea Grape Hill, which is a fun hill to drive. Look the video up on Google! Marc met us at the villa and gave us a quick rundown of information. The minute we walked in we knew we had made a great choice. The villa was fresh and clean. Everything about it was perfect, the view, the pool, the location. The owners have thought of everything you could every need. The ipod dock was great to listen to our music while sitting on the deck taking in the view, they have a complete kitchen and all the utensils that you will need to fix dinners there, as the restaurants get quite expensive eating out every night. Coral Bay is the quieter side of the island, and that is just what we wanted. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from in Coral Bay. We brought hot cereals and some bagels with us to have for breakfast at the villa. Then we would head out to one of the beautiful beaches or a hike that are a short drive from the villa. After a morning/early afternoon at the beach, we came back to the villa for a shower and to relax in the pool and then out to dinner. The outdoor shower is lovely...either taking a shower during the heat of the day or under the stars. The only person I would caution is someone that has problems with stairs, as there is a steep spiral staircase that you have to go up and down to get to the bedroom. We loved it, but someone that has a problem with stairs may not. Otherwise, this villa is awesome!

My husband and I wanted to find a place that would encompass: intimacy, romance, privacy, private pool, and not too "touristy." The Anchorage Aweigh villa boasted all of our requirements and more! The listing description is very accurate and the villa is much more beautiful in person. Email communication with Marc and the owners was very easy and both provided great places to visit during our stay. Once on the island, we were met by our guide with our jeep. The kitchen was very well equipped with essentials to cook and make drinks with. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything needed to have delicious meals every day. My husband and I ate our breakfast outdoors every morning and grilled every night. For lunch we went to Skinny Legs or drove to Cruz Bay and ate at Morgan's Mango-awesome! The outdoor shower was amazing and refreshing; our gecko and lizard friends always joined as well! The bedroom was neat and clean with plenty of towels to use. The air conditioned bedroom was a great place to retreat to each evening. Another fantastic feature of this villa is the iPod dock; we turned up the tunes and danced the evening away. No worries if you don't have an iPod, the nearby bar always had great caribbean music playing. During our stay, there was a Labor Day parade that was perfectly visible from the swimming pool! We definitely intend to return, but it will be during the cooler months as cooking in a hot kitchen is not always easy.

I am not sure what more can be added to the glowing reviews below. This home was everything we could have hoped for in a private romantic getaway to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. The home is beautifully maintained and does come with everything you will need for a perfect vacation. The backpack chairs and cooler were perfect for enjoying our favorite beaches, Maho and Salt Pond. The pool is refreshing after dinner at the convenient and fabulous restaurants just down from Seagrape Hill in Coral Bay. Our favorites being Aqua Bistro, Skinny Legs and Tourist Trap. Other great features of this home include the bedroom AC, porch lounge chairs, outdoor shower, fully stocked kitchen and medicine cabinet, ample towels, wealth of travel books about St. John and the iPod hookup upstairs. St. John is so untouched and we loved the wildlife present all around at any time of the day. The donkeys on the sides of the road, goats in the playground/soccer field below and the Sugar Birds are everywhere in our digital photos. I definitely recommend getting sugar for the bird feeder on the side of the home and watching the Sugar Birds feed in the late afternoon. Sit back and enjoy a rum drink on the porch and watch the wildlife and enjoy spectacular views. Truly the trip of a lifetime and I cannot wait to come back to St. John and always Anchorage Aweigh. Thanks for sharing this little piece of heaven Patricia and Scott!

My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon at Anchorage Aweigh, and it could not have been more perfect. The setup of the house is great. We spent every morning relaxing on the porch swing with our coffee watching the birds feed, and every late afternoon by the pool watching the sun go down over the mountains. The house has everything you need, and securing the rental was made extremely easy by the owners. The listing and photos describe the house perfectly. The home was very clean. Having the realtor guide us to the house initially was a huge help because I'm not sure we would have found it otherwise. Our favorite nearby spot for drinks and food was Aqua Bistro, but there are plenty of good places nearby. Brown Bay was a great hike and private beach setting, and it's only about 10 minutes down the road. The upstairs living area and balcony are great. The AC in the bedroom was a huge plus for sleeping. We loved the outdoor shower and the pool - just a fantastic setting. I would recommend to anyone!

The kitchen. Nice and has everything you need. 4.) Air conditioned bedroom with the half bath. 5.) Outdoor shower with a great view. 6.) Porch with dining table, outdoor seating area, and the swing. 7.) Spiral staircase, I love 'em. 8.) Beach equipment, came in handy, thank you! 9.) Satellite TV, Wi-fi internet, and stereo/ipod hookups. 10.) Location. Proximity to Coral Bay, and it was easy to drive to the beaches. Additional: Accurate listing description. Photos are spot on. Clean and well-maintain. Owner helpful and questions answered. I recommend this house. Recommendations: Skinny Legs, Island Blues, the kitchen...all north side beaches we loved...

John Milton may have created “Paradise Lost,” but Patricia and Scott created paradise!Our two weeks at Anchorage Aweigh were sheer bliss. There’s not much we can add to the glowing (and richly deserved) comments appearing here, other to say they are totally accurate. We loved the total privacy of the villa and found ourselves spending “a day on, a day off” – that is, we’d not leave for a day, just enjoying the decks, outdoor living room, the pool and our books. The next day, it was off exploring, taking a lunch and spending time at one of the many and varied beautiful beaches of St. John. Our favorite was Jumbie, a small, isolated stretch of beach just west of Trunk Bay. (Park just off the highway -- there’s room for 6-7 cars -- and take a short hike through the woods.)One thing: you’ll never have to again spend money at an amusement park after you’ve driven on St. John. In fact, you’ve probably been on elevators that have less of an incline than many of the roads on the island (including the driveway) -- and the longest straightway we found was perhaps 15 yards long. Once you get used to it, driving there is actually kind of fun!After all is said and done, the highest recommendation we can make is to say we’re planning on coming back again and again.Thanks for making this most wonderful of times possible, Patricia and Scott!

My husband & I came to St. John and stayed at Anchorage Aweigh to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. It was an absolute dream come true. The house was perfect: private, just the right size for 2, with a spectacular view of Coral Bay and all the amenities we could wish for. We love to cook so we made good use of the gourmet kitchen and gas grill. The outdoor shower was awesome with the little window to see the harbor and the beautiful rock and shell detail. We loved the view of the Moravian Church from the second floor balcony and were delightfully surprised when the church bells rang out Sunday morning. It was really entertaining watching all the local goings-on in the town below as well as the goats in the morning and the donkeys in the afternoon from our “birds-eye” view. Sitting on the swing in the evening with a drink listening to music from Sputniks drifting up the valley to our balcony was such a treat. We swam in the gorgeous pool every morning and every evening – a very, very nice way to cool off after exploring the island. It was wonderful coming back to our own little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay or the crowds at Trunk Bay. The pictures of the property are truly representative - no smoke and mirrors here. Anchorage Aweigh is a piece of heaven on earth and we are going to make this our anniversary spot for many years to come. What wonderful memories we have made and will continue make on beautiful St. John. Thank you Scott and Patricia for sharing your home on St. John with us. We absolutely loved it! P.S. We agree with the other guest who commented that it is a tough call... Should we highly recommend it or keep this little jewel quiet?... But we have to be honest and give it our highest recommmendation.

We just got back from an amazing week at Anchorage Aweigh. The villa was perfect and everything we could have wished for for our wedding week in St John. It was impossible to capture the scope of the stunning views on camera and I can't think of anything better than the outdoor shower. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedroom stunning. Lounging in/around the picture perfect pool was excellent and we had to shoo the goats away before they started eating the flowers! We loved being in Coral Bay and we'll definitely be coming back.

What a treasure! I hate to even write a review because I want to keep this little piece of heaven a secret! Everything about this place is wonderful. Very well furnished. Here's a list of things the owners are kind enough to supply; a small cooler for the beach, ice packs for the cooler, two beach chairs with shoulder straps and pouch for carrying towels etc, coffee grinder, coffee pot, one pool float, wine opener, full kitchen supplies, Wi-Fi, beach towels, and grill. I could go on and on. The property manager and the owners have thought of every detail to make your trip the best ever. Love the salt water pool! The views are so wonderful. The owners and property mgr are very helpful and will respond very quick to any questions. The place has a neat story so read their blog. Enjoy!
