Welcome to 'Coral Bay Outlook' - a lovely, hillside villa overlooking one of St. John's most spectacular harbors with views of the British Virgin Islands on the near horizon. All the best beaches in the National Park are just a short drive away while the restaurants and small shops in the Village of Coral Bay are within walking distance.
Our villa is located on two floors - a main level with two large bedrooms - and a lower, garden level with a separate guest apartment including a second kitchen and one bedroom. You may rent the entire house which sleeps 7 people and is perfect for two couples who want privacy or a family traveling with another couple or in-laws. Or you may rent the main level (upstairs) for up to 5 people or the very affordable guest apartment (garden level) which suits a couple. You will find the views are superb from all levels.
We have comfortably furnished our villa in natural rattan, dark woods and tile. It comes fully outfitted with linens, guidebooks, beach supplies and more -- everything you need for a carefree vacation. There is a completely equipped kitchen for gourmet cooking and a Weber gas grill for outdoor grilling on the deck.
We are situated on a hillside about 200 yards from the harbor’s edge. Access to our property is on a private, paved road (a luxury in St John). The villa is surrounded on three sides by lush plantings. It is convenient to the village, but also quiet. From the two decks overlooking the harbor, you can see boats traversing the harbor, catch the rising sun, and enjoy the afternoon shade while looking at the lush British Virgin Islands - Norman Island and Tortola - in the near distance.
The main level of the house has a 'great room' with an outdoor deck running the full length. The great room includes a living area with a TV, VCR, DVD and stereo, an eating area and a modern kitchen with dishwasher, stove and microwave. There are two large bedrooms - one with a king bed and the other with a double bed and a single bed. Each bedroom has a private toilet and sink and a semi-outdoor, tiled shower - one has a spectacular harbor view. The house has good WiFi in every room.
The lower, garden level has its own entrance and large deck with panoramic views. It has a long living/dining area, a kitchen, 1 bedroom with a queen bed, and a full bath. It is furnished in the same Caribbean style, bright and colorful.
The whole villa is available for rent or it can be subdivided into the upper 2 BR level or the lower, 1 BR garden level.
The legendary National Park beaches with white sand, calm water and stunning snorkeling are just minutes away as are many of the park's best hiking trails. Also nearby are a wonderful variety of restaurants, including Skinny Legs, Island Blues, Miss Lucy's, Aqua Bistro, and Shipwreck Landing, many with live music in season. Kayak rentals, snorkeling equipment, and information on boat charters are available at Crabby's Water Sports - just a short walk from our house.
Come relax and have fun - on our deck, in our garden, or in the sea nearby.

Coral Bay is definitely the best side of island to stay in. It is quieter and easy access to great beaches and some nice dining. The owners were quick from the start to contact you and give you everything you needed to know. The drive up the hill does at first take your breath away but you get used to it and it is paved. It is worth it when you arrive "home" as the view is amazing. The sunrise over the bay and surrounding islands in the morning is the best and with a cup of coffee...a real vacation. The place itself is very comfortable with loads of information on the island. We truly enjoyed our time there and definitely would recommend it to you if considering it. Miss Lucy's is one of our favorite for food...the breakfast on Sunday is sooo good and the bushwacker drink is a must. Best to go right at 9am or more after 12pm because of the popularity. Beautiful island and so worth going to see.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Our family of five had a wonderful week at this rental property! Great communication from the owners prior to booking and wonderful maps and suggestions at the villa were very helpful for our stay. The villa was very clean and nicely decorated. The view from the balcony was fabulous. It was a great home base for our family. We hit different beaches each day and had a fabulous time. Coral Bay was a nice central location for our adventures!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

We love St. John--have visited many times. Coral Bay is our favorite part of the island for its quiet, charming beauty. This year we were joined by our daughter's family of 4. Coral Bay Outlook was perfect for our two families--room to enjoy it together and also for privacy. Everything was very clean and attractive. It had everything we needed for a week in paradise. We loved the views from the decks and the nearness to stores and restaurants in Coral Bay. Thanks for sharing your home.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

We stayed at the Coral Bay Outlook from March 31-April 7, 2012. It was our first trip to St.John and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We rented the entire villa with my husband and I and our 2 sons (ages 17 &20) staying upstairs and my 83 year old father hanging out downstairs. The photos and listing are extremely accurate representation of this villa and the views actually exceed the descriptions. We loved Coral Bay - as it is laid back and very accessible to both the North and South Shore Beaches and snorkeling sites. Both villas were sparkling clean, well stocked and thoughtfully provisioned with ample beach supplies such as chairs, umbrellas, towels and coolers. Booking was a breeze and the owners are quite friendly and helpful. I really recommend paying attention to their suggested weekly itinerary as their recommendations are really good. Like many before us, we loved sitting on the deck in the morning, watching boats, stars and the sky. We also enjoyed listening the music waft up from the bars below as it added to the vacation atmosphere. I highly recommend this property and expect that wee will return!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway.

wonderful spot for a relaxing vacation with great amenities and spectacular views. we stayed 5 nights in March 2012 and were very impressed by the accommodations. Clean, well appointed and great location made this rental a vacation high spot. We cooked in and went to a lot of local restaurants and bars. If you are feeling energetic you can leave the car at home and walk down to the bars - the walk up is steep but not too far. Would highly recommend.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

We spent a beautiful week staying in the garden unit of this home. The home has everything you need for a relaxing week on St. John -- comfortable accommodations, access to beach chairs and a cooler, spectacular views and easy access to other amenities. We especially enjoyed all of the guide books and suggestions found in the home; it really helped to guide our trip. You can't go wrong with the Coral Bay Outlook!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Best house my friends and I have rented! It is perfectly located above Coral Bay, close enough to walk to the restaurants, yet far enough so that the music is not too loud. It has a fabulous view, very well appointed, has everything you would need for the house and the beach! The road up is certainly a challenge as is the parking, but you get used to it--4WD a necessity! I definitely would rent this lovely home again!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

My husband, three children and I spent a week at Coral Bay Outlook. The villa was charming, with everything we could have possibly needed. Very, very clean and well kept. Amazingly gorgeous views from the deck. The owner was very communicative from the time we inquired to the week before our trip. When we arrived, the property manager was on-site and gave us lots of local information and was happy to help with whatever else we may have needed. Highly recommended and would definitely stay there again!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Hi We live just north of Boston, Massachusetts in the historic seaport of Salem. We love living near the water and sailing during the summer. I head-up a regional, non-profit organization that works in collaboration with the National Park Service on trail development, historic preservation, and heritage education projects. Andy works in media research and technology at MIT. We have one daughter. Cheers, Annie & Andy
Why the Owner Chose Coral Bay:
We enjoy sailing but the season in New England is very short so fifteen years ago we started sailing in the Caribbean during the winter. We fell in love with the Virgin Islands and especially St John with its uncrowded beaches, soft sand, clear water and spectacular snorkeling. When we wanted to buy a vacation house in a warm place, we decided to buy in the US Virgins and chose the village of Coral Bay because it is the prettiest part of this beautiful island island, and it is also the most convenient place to reach the best south shore and north shore beaches in the National Park.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
We have made every effort to make our home very comfortable for us - and for you! We like to cook; sit on the deck and admire the view; get on line and catch up on our email; go for a swim; hike in a beautiful place; explore ruins; snorkel; go our for dinner, and also just stay in and relax. The Outlook is convenient for all this and more. It is truly a place to get away from it all in comfort - and yet still have instant, excellent email/internet service in every room of the house.
