Coral Reef Villa Beach Vacation Next Nisbet Plantation Nevis
Year Purchased: 2000
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
CORAL REEF VILLA is privately surrounded by many varieties of palms
and flowering bushes on almost an acre of the 4 acres that our
family owns that extends right to the white sandy beach and warm sea.
I enjoy snorkeling at the nearby pristine reefs and walking or sitting
on the beach as I look at St. Kitts in the distance and listen to the
waves. Beach steps away is a small upscate resort where I often stop
for a cool drink or have lunch at their beach bar and restaurant. For
special events we go to their historical and formal great house for a
gourmet dinner. I also like looking at Mt Nevis and remembering hikes
and tropical foliage and green vervet monkeys.

I am a retired French teacher who was born and spent most of my
childhood years in Montreal, Canada except for 5 years in Orange Park,
Florida where my father was a psychologist at the Yerkes chimpanzee
lab and a year on scholarship at a university in Neuchatel,
Switzerland. When I returned to Montreal I met my husband (on a blind
date ) at McGill University where I was an undergrad student and my
husband was a medical student. When we graduated he returned to Penna,
his home state, for his internship. After that his residency training
took us to Texas, Maryland, London, England and Wisconsin. During this
time we had two sons and later adopted a daughter and took in foster
daughters whom we wanted to adopt but the mothers just wanted to hold
on to them loosely. We also took in exchange students and a family
from Vietnam for 6 months. In 1989 my husband’s friend, from undergrad
years at Gettysburg College, purchased Nisbet Plantation on Nevis and
we started buying land next door. We ended up with 4 acres on the
ocean and now that we are retired we live in our own villa and rent
CORAL REEF VILLA. I am proud to be a Nevis citizen as well as an
American and Canadian, too. I feel so blessed.

November 17, 2011 This was something of a novel experience for us.. Peg had been to other Caribbean Islands. Frank had rented villas in Italy. Neither of us had ever heard of Nevis. We chose Coral Reef Villa because it sounded so nice and looked enticing on the Internet. We read the glowing testimonials but we were still skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. Rather than being too good, it was even better. And to our total satisfaction it was all true. This place was , in fact, so much lovlier and more charming than the website suggested _ from its expansive design, the comfortable, well-appointed furnishings; the lush tropical gardens and ,of course, the breathtaking sea views. The most difficult choices during our two-week stay was whether to relax on the lanei, lounge around the pool or wander onto the beach, which we discovered after much exploration, is one of the nicest on the entire island.. We started dining out but soon decided it was even more pleasant to cook our meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy this wonderful villa even more. We were also a little reluctant about having a full-time housekeeper and gardener and wondered at the outset whether they might be too intrusive. It didn't take very long for us to look forward to daily visits with Jeanette, who was a warm, friendly presence, sharing the latest news, chatting about her life and thankfully relieving us of all those day-to-day chores that we were eager to get away fron in the first place. We didn't get to talk much with Henry but we loved watching him carefully tending to the lawns and gardens. And we could not have hoped for a more gracious and helpful hostess than Jane. Even from a distance, calling several times from her home in Pennsylvania, she made sure we were comfortable, sharing information about her family and her experiences on Nevis like an old friend,offering suggestions for activities and restaurants, arranging a free tour with Marlon and alerting us to an opportunity to share the water taxi with another couple on the way back to the airport. Her thoughtful gift of transportation from the airport exit in St. Ktts to the very door of Coral Reef, saved us much anxiety and made us feel welcome. Thank you Jane and Jeanette and Marlon and Henry and Bonnie. You made us feel like privileged guests embraced by a warm family generously sharing a truly wonderful world. We're already plotting our return. Peg & Frank

Coral Reef a perfect retreat

Coral Reef Villa is everything the reviews make it out to be. The villa is relaxing, private, secluded and spacious – but not so isolated as to make you feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere. Nevis is a quiet, relaxed island and Coral Reef is a quiet, relaxed place to stay. While there is no air conditioning, the fans and natural breeze keep the place cool and we spent the majority of our time in the spacious porch which is behind mosquito screens meaning the view of the pool, garden and beach is unhindered but you don’t get bitten by the critters. The two hammocks on the porch are great for mid-afternoon snoozing and the good-sized pool fantastic for splashing into to cool off in the hot weather. The villa is a short 5min walk away from the upscale Nisbet Plantation, which is very welcoming and serves up fantastic meals and cocktails. The Nisbet chalets are just the other side of the Coral Reef access road, which leads directly to the picture perfect beach. Also 5mins walk away is the Nisbet Beach Bar which serves good, informal lunches and opens late on Thursdays with a great atmosphere. Additionally, the local dogs are friendly and well-mannered – they’ll keep their distance if you’re not interested but are well worth befriending and will reward you by keeping a loyal eye on the property! We hired a car for the week and I would thoroughly recommend doing so, which Jane can set up for you. The whole island can be driven round inside of 45minutes and there are a ton of nice places to stop off for lunch and a sunbathe/ snorkel – Double Deuce at Pinney’s Beach and Oualie Beach are particularly recommended, with Golden Rock Plantation a great bet for a nice dinner. Jane sends out a ton of information about places to go and things to see and will facilitate any adventure you wish to take on, such as hiking up to Nevis Peak. Overall, Coral Reef Villa is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. Jane was not in the country during our visit but called to check all was okay and we were well looked after by the caretaker. Highest possible recommendation.

Best Vacation Ever!

From the time we were met at St. Kitts by the water taxi until the return voyage every single aspect of the vacation was everything one could wish for! This was truly the vacation of a life time! Jane and Ron are the best hosts and the accomodations are the best. Visits to all the historic sites were beyond expectations. The sugar plantations are a must on your trip. You will never experience such history as this island has to offer. The natives are so welcoming and you find yourself yearning to know them better. I find myself yearning to return to an opportunity to connect with them even more. You just can't imagine the beauty of waking up in the morning to having coffee on the screened in porch overlooking the ocean! A walk on the beach is also an enlightening experience! This is a lesson in ecology 101 and Jane is the best teacher!! She is truly a steward of this earth! If you are looking for a vacation away from it all and relaxation in the lap of luxury, this is the place. Not the commercialism of a big resort but a very private place where you can experience the true beauty of this island and it's wonderful history. Don't miss the vacation of a lifetime! I am longing to return.

Just returned from our Nevis vacation last week. Coral Reef cottage is about as relaxing as you can get. Jane and Ron have tried to think of everything and it shows, what great hosts. It has a well-appointed kitchen and BBQ grill for cooking in. Both bedrooms are en suite so it's perfect for two couples or a couple with kids. The pool with floats is refreshing any time of day. Most of our time relaxing at the house was either in the pool or on the fantastic porch. The beach is just a short stroll down the hill and there are beach chairs at the cottage. The water is fairly shallow up to about a quarter mile out where the main reef is. Snorkeling is just ok unless you swim past the breakers to the main reef. Its a daunting task, but I did it twice with a snorkeling vest. I was rewarded with gobs of reef fish and even swam with a large eagle ray each time. More leisurely is a stroll down the beach away from Nisbet. You can walk about a mile and a half and see very few people. If your in the mood to see folks, head next door to the Nisbet beach club for some fun. We run our credit card there at the beginning of the week and just charge to our account. No carrying wallets or money that way. Venturing out is very easy if you rent a car from Marlon, about $340/week. The island is small and very simple to navigate. Oualie Beach has lots of activities including bike and boat rentals, dive shop, etc. We did a two tank dive for about $125 including BC/regulator rental. Nevis is very laid back and quiet. Not a big night life scene so if you're looking to party go some place else. We did do Karaoke at Chevy's one night and had a lot of fun with the locals. Other great nights included eating at Gallipot and a fantastic 5-course meal at Montpelier plantation. Lunches included the wonderful conch chowder and lobster sandwich at Golden Rock, and laid back lobster and drinks at beach bars including Sunshine's and Double Deuce. I'll avoid eating at Coconut grove next time. Great wine list but overpriced and the quality of the cooking was amateurish. A nice atmosphere but not worth the money. One good tip. Stores only sell beer by the singles for about $2 apiece. Avoid that. Go to the beverage depot and buy it by the case and it comes to around 80 cents. Overall, our stay at Coral Reef was just what we wanted. A very private and relaxing get away without the distractions and noise of a resort. Your own tropical beach with things to do or doing nothing at all.

The Coral Reef Villa was everything described and MORE! Starting from our arrival in St.Kitts to the immaculate home and grounds, it was beautiful and perfect! Jane and Ron did everything to ensure that we had a great time and had everything we needed. The view of the ocean from the screened in porch is breathtaking and the pool only steps away. Everyone we came in contact with was polite and helpful. The best part was Jane showed us where to snorkel and we had so much fun exploring around the rocks and reefs! We also took a long beach walk and learned even more about the island's fascinating history (this was nothing like Maryland's commercialized beaches). I should also mention we loved all the ruins, historic churches and learning about Nevis and its people. Every restaurant provided excellent food and service and best of all no chain restaurants or waiting in lines. It was refreshing to be somewhere where the pace was slower and not full of tourists. The Pauls took great care of us and provided everything we needed at the Coral Reef Villa. It's obvious they care about their guests. Again, it was spotless and the grounds extremely well kept. I can't think of anything that wasn't perfect and I would definitely recommend this gorgeous property to everyone! Thank you again for a wonderful vacation!!

This is a great place to get away from it all! We went for our honeymoon. Having the pool right outside the BEAUTIFUL screened in porch was a plus! The villa was very clean. It looks like the photos online. The walk to the beach is minimal. We had breakfast and lunch at the Nisbet next door and it was great!! Staff was very pleasant and helpful. When we arrived, it was right after 4 days of rain on the island. The roads had a lot of damage and trees were down. They were being fixed the week we were there. A lot of restaurants were just opening up for the season when we got there. The Golden Rock Inn was awesome...excellent conch chowder. The Gallipot was a great meal. Food was fresh everywhere we went and the people were great! Definitely need a car. Marlon Brando was excellent! He met us when we came in at the beach, drove us to the villa, got us the rental car and answered all of our concerns and questions. It helped having Jeanette come in every day. We didn't get to see much of her because we were out most of the times she cleaned the place. Jane, the owner, was wonderful to deal with and supplied us with great information about the islands and resources. She didn't leave a stone unturned! Everything fell into place, as she said, and our vacation was absolutely wonderful! We hope to go back, again, some day.

The Coral Reef Villa is a very nice place if you want to stay in a quiet place. Nevis is not an island with a lot happening. Everything is done in a slow pace, so if you want to relax, this a great place to go. The villa itself is very nice and with a personal touch. Here is everything you need. But the greatest asset is the porch and the pool area. We spent most of the time here. The porch is covered with mosquito net, so you can sit outside in the evening without getting bit by those nasty insects. The wind and the fans make it very pleasant. The private pool is huge (not just a plunge pool) and very clean. There are deck chairs as well. From here you can enjoy the garden and the view of the ocean. The owner is very nice and she really doing everything to make your stay as good as possible. She has even provided us with a baby cot and a high chair for our daughter. There is a small supermarket nearby (in walking distance), but if you need more than the basics, you have to go to Charlestown. You can either rent a car or use the local bus. We did the last, and it was very easy. The Coral Reef Villa is very recommendable.

My wife and kids (ages 12 & 11) spent a week in Nevis staying at Coral Reef. We preceded this stay with 5 nights on sister island St. Kitts. In a nutshell, the trip was awesome and Nevis is the kind of place we could visit for the rest of our lives. Coral Reef made the visit special. The villa is perfectly located next to Nisbet Beach Plantation Resort and close to ample dining options and activities (get a car). It is extremely well furnished and appointed and is as clean as any vactions property could be. We felt right at home from the very first day. While on-island we did many things. This includes: Scuba diving (twice) with Scuba Safaris Self guided hike from Golden Rock up to the "source" (several hours) Horseback riding on the beach Golf at 4 seasons Beach time My daughter took sailing lessons with the "Yacht Club" Spa Time at Compassionate Touch (up the hill from the police station) Touring the island and shopping in Charlestown We had great food at: Double Deuce Pizza Beach Nisbet (date night at the great house and bbq on the beach) Golden Rock Gallipot Oualie Beach Lime Sunshine's The villa is cleaned daily and offers everything you need to cook (we made breakfast almost every day). Best of all, the front porch and pool, where we would "hang out" and listen to music. We loved it! We look forward to future visits to Nevis and Coral Reef.

We highly recommend Nevis and Coral Reef Villa to anyone who is looking for a bit of peaceful paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the bars and casinos that dominate so many other locations. We miss Nevis and since our departure we have replayed special memories from our week there over and over. Re-entry into the "real world" has definitely been met with resistance as we linger a bit longer in Nevis in our minds. We have rented a number of private residences in the states and in the Caribbean islands over the years but have never experienced the kind of personal touch that has been the hallmark of our trip to Coral Reef Villa. We read every entry in the villa’s guest book and the theme is consistently positive and reiterates our observation of the detail that is so reflective of the care and dedication Jane and Ron Paul have given the villa, the guests, and to the welfare of the island. We found that Nevis offered many natural "nuggets" of diversity to guests that exceed many of the other islands we have visited. We love the remote, peaceful, natural beauty that Nevis and Coral Reef offer and we hope that all Nevisians will continue to overcome the temptation to increase tourism with the Sandals-type resorts, condos, strips of beach bars and karaoke bars, cruise ship shopping, "booze cruises", etc. We hope they will resist the lure of becoming a "one-size-fits-all" vacation destination and set themselves apart and promote themselves as a very natural, unspoiled spot for those who love to do nothing other than relax and enjoy nature’s beauty. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks for sharing your generous hospitality, lovely villa, and tips to enjoy this little slice of paradise.

This was our second trip to Nevis having visited in 2008. We came back for many reasons. This island is beautiful, lush, laid back, friendly and the weather simply perfect. Coral Reef Villa was perfect for us (two couples in their 40's) because of the set up with two large bedrooms with their own baths and the huge screened in porch with lots of comfortable seating. The pool, just steps outside the porch door was a popular spot all week. The location next to the Nisbet Plantation was private, yet we were able to enjoy dinner and breakfast just steps away without driving. We brought our beach chairs down to the water to 'wallow' in the ocean each early evening with some great local beer. The men enjoyed snorkeling off our beach and saw a good variety of fish off the man-made reefs off Nisbet. This is the place for you if you want a really relaxing vacation. It is not touristy and there is not a lot going on. If you are big into night life, go to Aruba instead. You can find amazing dining, but it does not come cheap. Some of the restaurants we love are Lime (new place next to Sunshines), Nisbet (we went to the seafood barbecue, formal dinner and breakfast - all were great), and the Galleypot. We bought some liquor at the duty free in the airport to bring with us. We shopped locally at Best Buy in Gingerland for breakfast and lunch items. The selection here was very good. We rented our car from Marlon 'Brando' for the second time and he is the best! Jane and Ron were gracious hosts. They arranged and paid for our pick up, taxi and water taxi both to/from the St. Kitts airport. This was easy and went off without a hitch. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and even gave each couple a beautiful book to take home to remember our stay in Nevis. We can't wait to come back and only wish we could never leave!
