Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
I love St. John and want others to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of our island. I used to be a swim instructor/coach/aquatics director in my old life in Massachusetts. Now I book and manage my homes here on St. John.
Why the Owner Chose Coral Bay
I visited St. John in the 70's and never thought I'd be able to live here! Surprise!
These views are so spectacular I'm still pinching myself! I could sit out on the deck forever enjoying the breezes, everchanging views....so relaxing
The Unique Benefits of this House
Horizons is on a dead end road near the end so it's very quiet with hiking trails available from the house toRams Head and Salt Pond Bay, one of the best snorkeling beaches where you can almost always see sea turtles out among the moored boats.

Nine Days in Paradise

Our accommodations were wonderful! Four of us had a wonderful time, and the place was very roomy. Looking out the picture windows was like looking at a beautiful painting. The deck was our favorite spot! Sunrises were awesome. So many beaches; so little time! Everything was done in top notch fashion. Susan tried to come by twice and meet us but we were gadabouts! So sorry we missed her. We heartily recommend this place! Noreen & Jim Blair

We were lucky enough to stay on St. John for two and a half weeks for our honeymoon. During that time, we stayed in three villas. One near Cruz Bay, one near Fish Bay and the third was Horizons Cottage near Coral Bay. Horizons had the nicest views hands down, more "goodies", most comfortable bed and was the least expensive of all the places we stayed! What a great deal. Horizons Cottage is in a cute little neighborhood with a lunch restaurant/bar (The Tourist Trap-good food!) within walking distance..and a "real" dinner restaurant also around the corner at Concordia. You can also walk to Salt Pond Bay, my favorite snorkel spot on St. John. We will definitely be back to Horizons. Now I see why you're booked so quickly in season! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

What a great house! The views are fantastic, just like the pictures. The house was very clean, comfortable with all the accessories we needed (Sue - we appreciated the beach towels - that was one thing we had forgotten). Sue was very helpful, sending us lots of information ahead of time and calling while we were there to make sure everything was fine. The location for us was perfect - away from the crowds, but very convenient to wonderful beaches and hiking. There were several very nice places to eat from 1 to 10 minute drive (The Tourist Trap which is within walking distance doesn't look like much, but the food is very good). I would certainly recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in the Coral Bay area.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We really enjoyed our time at Horizons, especially sitting on the deck in the morning and evening. The house was lovely and very well equipped. We especially appreciated all of the information that Sue sent prior to our arrival. We hope to return.
Owner response:I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. The views truely are spectacular! Thanks for taking such good care of Horizons and come back any time!

Susan&Dan: Thanks for the use of Horizons cottage, it is truly an amazing place to be. The stars put on a show themselves that is breathtaking to say the least. It was difficult to get going each day as we did not want to leave the scenery of our perch. Can you imagine the decisions one has to make each day, what beach to go to what trail to walk or what day do you think it is. We met Kathleen at Aqua Bistro who had great things to say about you and Dan, we love the Coral Bay area and the people who stay there I cannot say enough about it and them. I did want to tell you on one occasion the flapper on the double bed room commode stuck one time so you may want to keep an eye on it. I bid you all peace and serenity and hope to visit again soon. Thanks, Kevin P Fecak

What is wrong with this picture? I asked myself when I awoke this morning. Instead of the sun rising on the horizon to my left, I looked out at bare trees and the snow encrusted patches of green. My morning coffee somehow did not have the same allure. It was not without trepidation that we chose an unknown house on an unfamiliar island from pictures on the web. After we spoke with Sue, it somehow felt right and our gut feeling did not disappoint us. Our stay at Horizons was just what we hoped it would be and more. Since getting away just the four of us is so rare these days, we wanted to get it right. And that it was! From the warmth exuded by Sue from the moment we spoke to the excellent, fully-equipped, quiet accommodations, our stay at Horizons was one that we will remember for a long time. The view is striking and originally thought to be the best feature of the visit. Then we met the people, swam in the warm waters of the white sand beaches, kayaked, snorkeled, went boating to the BVI with Dan, and relaxed more than we had in a while and we realized that there are so many things to love about Horizons, Coral Bay, St. John and Sue and Dan! The picture on the website are true to form. It is as quiet, serene and spectacular as it appears. We cannot wait to return!

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!
Owner 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..
