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!

Amazing view

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.

A Week in Paradise

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!!!

Four of us (2 couples) spent a week in March at Coral Bay Outlook in the upstairs 2-bedroom unit. Great location for access to snorkeling, hiking, kayaking if you rent a car or jeep. The house is nicely furnished; the kitchen well-equipped with extras such as local guidebooks and beach chairs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Review Submitted 02/13/11

We stayed in the Garden Level, which was just right for two. Everything we needed was there. We enjoyed being so close to town, including the great views right down into Coral Bay harbor, and enjoyable musical sounds from the near-by (but not too near-by!) restaurants. The listing describes the property very well. We snorkled every day, including a delightful day on the "Long Distance" 40-foot sailboat courtesy of Rick and Robin. Annie was very helpful in arranging our rental. A 4 wheel drive jeep is helpful. Good to heed Annie's advice to arrive in daylight if this is your first visit to Coral Bay Outlook; the switchbacks leading to the house are a little challenging after dark if this is your first time. We hope to return another year.

We had a wonderful stay at Outlook. This house has a fantastic view of Coral Bay and easy access to the restaurants in Coral Bay. Cool breezes from the sea can't be beat at this elevation. Plus its close proximity to the North Shore beaches is good too. The kitchen is well stocked, plenty of towels, beach chairs and a cooler too! We loved the outdoor shower overlooking the harbor. We recommend this villa to friends and family. Thanks Andy and Annie for opening up your house to us again. :) We will return for sure! Loyd and Jackie

We were 7 and rented the whole house for 10 days, the upper for kids (5) and the lower for us. Great! The house is exactly as posted. Nice to travel light having there beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, cooler and even noodles. Would definitely rent it again and would strongly recommend Coral Bay vs Cruz Bay. Coral Bay is perfect, quite and near north and south beaches, restaurantes, supermarket, etc. We ate at "home" every night and found everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and answered our needs more than promptly. Even we stayed in July-Aug upper part of the house was cool . It would have being nice (but not a must) to have A/C in the lower part. Improvementes: mattress of the lower house

Well another great week at the house, it was our third visit to Coral Bay Overlook. This time we took my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary! We booked the whole house and had my parents stay with the three kids, their grandkids, upstairs. This allowed for mom and dad to sit at night on the deck below and relax. As usual the house was clean and well maintained. If you have never been to St. John and you need an affordable place to stay with your family this is the place, trust me! We have been going to the Island for many years and now we don't even bother looking anywhere else to stay. Coral Bay Overlook has what the typical family needs for a great vacation.

My recent stay in the Coral Bay house was just as expected. The location is perfect for exploring the beaches on St. John, and the market at the bottom of the hill and nearby restaurants were very convenient. The house is spacious, and the deck is a lovely place to have breakfast or cocktails and watch the birds. The outdoor shower provides an opportunity for lizard watching. I would recommend the house to anyone who would like a vacation in a quiet spot, away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay.

My husband and I often reminisce of our stay at the ~Coral Bay Outlook~. This is where we really feel in love with St. John. It was our second time visiting the island, and I would say that if you really want to enjoy the island's natural beauty, Coral Bay is the place to stay! Every morning we woke up to the peaceful sounds of nature, had breakfast on the veranda as we soaked in the magnificent views of Coral Bay, and joined by the island birds. The house has the island feel, it's very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Annie makes sure you have everything you need to make your stay a pleasant one. It's perfectly situated, market and shops right at the bottom of the hill, near many great restaurants, gorgeous beaches, awesome hikes. If you want to really experience St. John's in all its beauty, The Coral Bay Outlook is the ideal place to stay.

We stayed on the lower level at Coral Bay Outlook and found the views to be amazing. We loved eating on the deck gazing at all the boats! Had everything we needed to enjoy 5 wonderful days on St. John. This was our 3rd time to St. John but our first in Coral Bay. We will definitley come back to Coral Bay Outlook. Such a great location to get to all the amazing beaches. What a breeze also!!

Review Submitted 03/26/10

This property is gorgeously located and has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Listing is totally accurate, owner and caretaker incredibly helpful, house is lovely!! (Upstairs is a lighter, more open place) We enjoyed beaching (all the beach equipment you could ask for is at the house), hiking, a daytrip on the catamaran "Calypso" including snorkeling and an afternoon on Jost Van Dyck (BVI), lots of great restaurants (Island Blue, Skinny Legs in Coral Bay, Woody's and Margarita Phil's in Cruz Bay) grilling out on our own deck (gas grills on covered decks on both levels). Indoor/outdoor shower is wonderful as long as the weather is good. There is even a nice selection of DVDs and vacation books in case you want to kick back and do that some days. When they recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle they mean it though--even getting up the hill to the house is steep! Parking anywhere on the island is getting to be an issue--be prepared. We would definitely return or send friends there. Great place--wish we could have stayed longer.

Our stay at Coral Bay Outlook was fabulously tropical and convenient. By the end of our stay, the house felt like a home. Everything is tastefully decorated in island style. The kitchen is well equipped and designed for multiple users. The house really has an open feel to it that is hard to perceive by looking at the pictures. My favorite feature of the house is the marvelous indoor/outdoor shower. You enter the large terracotta- tiled shower from the inside, but once in the shower, you have an open rooftop and magnificent view of the harbor. We lived on the deck with its fantastic view of Coral Harbor. I think my husband could have sat there all day watching the boat arrivals and departures. Although our visit was in July, we had great tropical breezes our entire stay. The house is convenient to markets, Lily’s Market and Love City; restaurants, Island Blues (our fav), and Miss Lucy’s (don’t miss the brunch), snorkeling gear rental at Crabby Shack’s, deli food and sandwiches at Big Belly Deli, and of course the beaches, both North and South. The house had chairs, coolers, and beach towels for beach use. The outside of the house was well landscaped with a “patio” area with table, chairs, and a bench. I really loved the coral and shells built into the outdoor steps and wall. All six of us were very comfortable in the house, with two of us bunking downstairs in the garden villa, and the other four of us upstairs. Both up and down stairs have decks and great views. You just won’t get the same laid back island feel in Cruz Bay—Coral Bay Outlook is the place to stay.

Annie was a great owner to work with in all aspects of the trip. She was a great help in making the booking and payment of the house relatively painless and gave us some great ideas for places to visit! The house was exactly as we imagined, clean, spacious, and well equipped. The upper level deck was great at night, as you could hear the local bands playing at the bars below, and the moonlight reflecting off the water was awe inspiring. The neighbors were very helpful when asked but basically went about their daily chores with a friendly “hello”. The house was only several minutes from Coral Bay making it easy to run out and get supplies as needed, depending on where you stay on St. John this is not always the case. Overall Coral Bay Outlook was a nice affordable house which became our base for a wonderful vacation.

We had the pleasure of staying at Coral Bay Outlook in July 2009 and it was amazing! The house couldn't have been more perfect. It was clean, attractively decorated, well-stocked and beautiful. We enjoyed the constant breeze throughout the house, the stunning view from the front porch and the convenience of the location. The house was privately situated, yet allowed for easy access to local restaurants (several with live music), shopping and beaches. It was a great relaxing week and we plan to be back soon!

Great House. Super clean and accessable to several resturants, groceries, and 20 minutes from Cruz Bay. Great breeze on the deck and views are wonderful. Sunrise across Coral Bay and night view of bay are beautiful. Close to all the snorkling and bays. Would stay again. Stayed in the upstairs with two bedrooms which had plenty of room and could cook in or go to near by resturants. Drinks on the deck in the afternoon with the view and breeze were super.

Garden Apartment Perfect for a Couple

Guest Pat and Paula
Date of stay 05/02/09
Review Submitted 06/19/09

We stayed in the garden level apartment the first week of May, and could not have been happier with our choice. The owner was very accessible by phone or Email, answered all our questions, and went out of her way to make our trip a great success. The lower level was only a few steps up from the driveway (hard to find someplace without major stairs on this hilly island) and the apartment was well equipped and comfortable with a great view of the ocean (bay), and is probably the best bargain on the island! We loved staying in Coral Bay and frequented the shops, grocery and deli right at the bottom of our lane. We were close to the north and south beaches for snorkeling (LOVED Waterlemon Cay), east end exploring, and were only a 25 minute drive to Cruz Bay if so desired (we preferred dining on OUR end - Skinny Legs, Island Blues, and Shipwreck Landing). We snorkeled almost every day, and saw turtles, starfish, stingray, crabs, squid, tons of colorful fish and beautiful coral. We came home with hundreds of photos along with great stories of donkeys, goats, car ferries, thunderstorms, tropical drinks, harrowing roads and breathtaking vistas. Great vacation - great vacation rental!

We had a wonderful stay at Coral Bay Outlook. We originally looked for something less expensive in Cruz Bay but luckily for us those plases were full. Coral Bay Outlook was a much better value. The location is great. Close enough to the North and South Beaches. The view is also great and the cottage is decorated nicely and clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful week at Coral Bay Outlook in March, with our 2 daughters. The house is conveniently located close to the center of Coral Bay but high enough to have a great view of the bay and enough privacy. The drive from the house is easy to any beach on St. John. The house is spot clean, roomy and very bright (we stayed in the upper part of the house). Its large deck is a great place to be in the mornings or in the evenings. We are looking forward to coming back to this house again in the future. St. John is a wonderful destination with beautiful beaches and great coral reef snorkeling. We have spent many hours every day watching sea turtles, rays, eels, barracudas and other tropical fishes.

How do you begin to summarize a week in Paradise? What an enormously special place, and what an honor to be able to spend some time here. The house is magnificent; well equipped throughout and the location and view are wonderful. It is a fabulous place to call home for ten days. The nearly constant tradewinds gave it a sense of timelessness, and the feathered residents of the area added more local color: bananaquits, frigate birds, thrushes, pelicans, and even some species that travel all the way to New England. Then there are the hikes in to some undisturbed beaches and the coral reefs teaming with beauty and diversity. Hard to describe the experience in words....So much to explore here, and even in ten days I feel we just scratched the surface. I'm sure we will be back.

Thanks for a memorable time here! The house is well equipped and we're grateful for the beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas that were available. What an amazing view & location! Easy access to stores and great restaurants. Our kids (ages 2, 4, & 6 yr) loved little Maho Bay - such a gentle place to swim for our little ones. We hope to come back and stay in your lovely home.

We thought your house was just perfect from the 3 of us. The open air shower was the highlight by daylight or moonlight! Next, the constant breezes--no need for AC. I can't think of a thing that you are lacking and we cooked a couple of dinners. Thirdly, great views with easy access to market, etc.... We would recommend your house and definitely come back.

We are back at the Outlook for a long weekend, and I wish that we had more time. This house and the island never cease to amaze me - beautiful views, perfect temperature, cool breezes, wonderful swimming, interesting snorkeling and fun dining with good live music. I'm delighted to see in our guest book that all of our guests have enjoyed this house as much as we do. It is a great place to spend time relaxing, and it is also a good 'jumping off' spot for exploring some of the best beaches and dining on the island. If you come, I'm sure that you will have a very pleasant vacation.

We loved every moment of our stay here - we don't want to go! The house was just what we needed - perfect size with all the right supplies. The view and ocean breeze were our favorites, morning and evening. Our highlights here: Salt Pond Bay, Maho Bay Camp, Salomon and Honeymoon Beach, great local flavor at "Skinny Legs" and Lucy's brunch was just fantastic. Our best meal, though, was right here. We cooked on the grill and ate on the deck - just can't beat that!! Thanks for all the perfect details that make this place feel so much like home.

We had a wonderful, precious week at your house. Our favorite things included: the full moon party at Miss Lucy's; Ram's Head Trail; snorkeling at Salt Pond Bay; swimming at Trunk Bay; grilling and eating dinner on the balcony; and using the shower! Even the everyday parts of life are so special here.

In the immortal words of the Bard, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." Having been to most of the islands throughout the Caribbean & Atlantic, none is so wonderful as this one. It is truly spectacular in every aspect. To quote another famous historical figure, "I (we) shall return." Until then, don't change a thing!!

This week we are back on St John relaxing in our house. My husband and I certainly enjoy it and we think that you will too. I have entered the recent comments from our guest book onto these pages so that you can see what other guests have said about St John and our house. Enjoy!

Perfect spring-break vacation away from it all. We like the quiet, laid back pace on St John and here at this house in Coral Bay. Perfect house for a small family - love the kitchen, and the stores right at the bottom of the hill are great!

The view is spectacular from morning to night. The cool breeze flowing all day long. We were here to relax and that is exactly what we were able to do. We will take this view with us and keep it until we can reutrn.

The sun has risen between the slope of the East End and Norman's Island, beginning our final morning on this fabulous island. We find more to love about St John with every visit. We've had a wonderful week's holiday, one that has truly felt like a full seven days of fun, adventures, and relaxation. Your place here has been super, a very comfortable retreat from a Toronto winter. We absolutely love the views from the deck and windows/doors, and being so centrally located in our favorite part of the island, Coral Bay.

Coral Bay is the best spot on the island, and this house is the best spot in Coral Bay! Loved it all. Great meals...Shipwreck, Asolare, Paradiso, Stone Terrace, and try to hit Ram's Head at sunset...stunning. We want to tell all our friends about this great place, but I think that we will keep it a secret.

What an amazing time we had at your beautiful home! Working and playing is better here than anywhere else we know!! We highly recommend Miss Lucy's for Sunday brunch, Sweet Plaintains is remarkable for dinner, and Island Blues has amazingly good food. We will return as soon as possible!

We just spent the last week fixing up the place and getting it ready for our first guests. We now have high speed, wireless internet access available for rentors(at a nominal access charge), and the cable television works. We spent the time there with our daughter and we think you will have a lovely stay. If you can suggest any improvements, please send email to annieh. We hope you enjoy your stay.
