Location: Coral Bay, USVI - St. John, Caribbean

Accommodations:  House, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 5-7)

Spectacular views of the BVI's and open ocean from this house which sits about 300 feet above John's Folly Bay. Listen to the ocean lapping on the shore while you watch the sun/moon rises over the ocean. Look at Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands, which inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write the book, "Treasure Island."

There's a deck on three sides of the house with table and chairs for dining and relaxing, and another deck downstairs off the bedrooms. The tradewinds keep the house cool and make air conditioning unnecessary.

  • This comment is not on the villa, but instead on the owner. Sue responded IMMEDIATLY to my inquiries and provided helpful info, not just about Horizons, but about the area nearby, things to do and helpful tips. We aren't able to book Horizons this trip, sadly. But if you are thinking of booking it yourself, send an email - Sue is a very helpful and responsive host!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks so much! We'd love to have you visit in the future-I really appreciate your positive comments!

  • Sue, Thank you so much for the privilege of staying at the unbelievable "Horizons!" With its panoramic views, first class accommodations, quiet rural location, and most comfortable bed ever, the total package surpasses what words can express in a website. I have not seen such beautiful sunrises over the water in years! As semi-retired sailors, watching the tides ebb and flow into John’s Folly Bay and seeing boats of all varieties plow the waters, a visit to “Horizons” is a dream come true. Thanks again for your genuinely kind hospitality, and please visit us soon..

  • A little piece of paradise,that you will enjoy. Close to the best snorkeling.(salt pond and waterlemon cay) If you like the peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Gorgeous view and a great breeze. Everyting you need is already there. We had a wonderful vacation. Great food at the local restaurants. Would love to go back.

  • As much as I'd like to keep this place my little secret, it's only fair for me to share it and it give it five stars. Coral Bay is a sleepy place so if you are looking for a resort - the late and loud nightlife, look in Cruz bay. If you want real laughter with real people in a sublime setting and maybe some great blues music, this is it. Horizon house has excellent owners who also can take you out for a day on the ocean which I equally recommend. Like any great trip, the pictures on the web just don't do the house justice. I was grateful to find it was everything I expected and more. This is one of the few places where I feel like I need to go back.

  • January 4-18, 2008 What a absolute paradise to spend our annual vacation! This is our 2nd stay on St John. First time we stayed in Captain's Cabin and this time we brought some friends! We filled both Horizons and Captain's Cabin! We enjoyed the extra room in Horizons with the same beautiful view of the islands and azure ocean water that you just can't take your eyes off of. I don't think that we would stay at any other place on this island. Horizons was equipped with every household item that I could think of. Sue was so accommodating to us. We think of her and Dan as our friends! Horizons is an exceptional vacation home. Beautiful wood thru out the house. Unique bathroom shower was real tropical. Huge windows from every corner gave us that feeling that I can't believe we are really here! Thank you Sue and Dan for another excellent vacation! Cindy and Todd

  • We just got back from a marvelous stay at Horizons cottage. We were a little worried about the heat in August, but the constant trade winds kept us cool. The view is superb and the cottage is well away from the heavily touristed areas of St. Thomas and most of St. John. A real gem.

    The view from Horizons Cottage has to be one of the best on all of St John. We made it a point to get up early enough to view every sunrise from the deck and they were great. The highlight of the trip had to be out on your sailboat, SHAKTI. The next best highlight was seeing the turtles, singrays, and other wild creatures above and below the surf. Horizons has a perfect location for all the beaches, especially Salt Pond, the best of the best.The cottage is more than adequate for a wonderful vacation offering all the comforts of home.

  • 8 days was not long enough. The view with the beautiful sunrises made it the best choice on the island. Add that to 5 mins to Salt Pond Bay and a day on Sue and Dans sailboat,Shakti and you can't beat it.

  • My husband, myself and our 2 daughters (ages 16 and 12) spent the week of Aug 10-Aug 17 at Horizon's Cottage. This was our first time on St John. We had great weather and we think Horizon's is one of the best spots on the island. We really enjoyed Lucky the cat, got a kick out of the island donkeys, goats and all the natural beauty that St John has to offer. We hope to get back again some day.
