Map & Owner's Profile
Adventure Villa Coral Harbor 2BR/2BA + Loft Secluded on 1 Acre
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Coral Bay
I fell in love with St John the day we anchored our boat in Coral Harbor. The captain and me had been sailing up and down the caribbean islands during 5 months and St John appeared to be the jewel.
Before I bought Adventure in 2001, I had the opportunity to landscape other rental houses throughout St John.
Adventure's location was an ideal choice: Nicely tucked on the hill with nice views of Coral harbor and nice breezes.
I remodeled the villa again in 2010 with all the qualities which I loved on my boat: Open air screened windows and bathrooms with spectacular views. Red Cedar and mahogany cathedral ceilings make a nice contrast with the sunny and shady outside decks secured by life lines. And its utmost privacy reminds me of the sea.
Then my dream became true. It is a love story never ending.
At Adventure villa and cottage, you can relax and be one with nature and its wild life while sharing the best of both worlds: Sea and shore as the villa has deeded access to private Johnson Beach (7 minute drive).
12 minute drive to pristine beaches with nice snorkeling, kayaking, para sailing or windsurfing.
Around 4-5 pm you may go back to Adventure villa tired but with a smile on your face.
After a short shower and a gourmet snack in the kitchen, you will be ready to enjoy a nice meal with live music and dancing in a nice choice of restaurants offering gourmet cuisine in Coral Bay . Yes it is a sportive holiday !
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
WILD LIFE: . The villa is visited by humming birds and Banana Quit or "sugar birds" fed with sugary water by guests on the shady porch. Honey bees are busy sucking the nectar of hibiscus, Frangipanies and Jasmin flowers. They polanize the papaya, cherry and lemon trees. Sometimes an iguana wanders on the decks under the surveillance of the outdoor cats. Yes Doves and Robins will wake you up early in the morning. This is the way life is to enjoy at Adventure villa.
Owner's Map of Coral Bay
After many years of travels, our family needed a cozy nest. Working as a landscaper in St John, Adventure location was the best spot I could find to realize my dreams.
Its location on the hill provides nice breezes, panoramic views, good satellite cell & internet receptions, utmost privacy. I redesigned the villa as aerie as if it was a boat.
Adventure became a successful weekly rental especially due to its utmost privacy, its family home ambiance and the quality of its guests. There is a saying :
'Nice house, nice guests'. Most of Adventure's guests fall in love with the villa and always treat it well. At check out time, I often find a farewell gift added to the charm of the villa by guests. It is a warm feeling.

It is a Wonderful Place

On the Today Show today there was a segment where pictures posted on the web for vacation places were false or misleading. THIS is not the case at Adventure Villa. The pictures on the website understate the beauty of the site....it is truly beautiful. The island is a unique jewel and the food in Coral Bay is great. We especially enjoyed breakfest at the Donkey Diner. The food and service is outstanding. Sit in the back with the locals and learn the island.

My family spent Christmas 2010 and New Year's at the villa. It was perfect for us. We have two teenage kids, a son (13) and a daughter (15). My mother and her boyfriend joined us as well. My mother and her friend chose the room on the main floor. My daughter stayed in the loft. My son chose the garden apartment, and my husband and I stayed in the guest house. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out. The views were wonderful. We would come back from a day on the beach or on the water, and continue enjoying beautiful views through sunset. There was a very nice grill, a small patio table with chairs outside where you could sit in the shade (and enjoy the view), and there were plenty of chaise lounges. We enjoyed the company of the three cats that live outside. The owner takes great care of the place. It was clean. The plants are beautiful. We hope to return there on our next trip to St John. Just a short drive away are a small market and some fine restaurants. We enjoyed Aqua Bistro and Shipwreck Landing the most. We also enjoyed a day sailing on the Long Distance, with a fine couple Rick and Robin and their dog Kiwi. They took us to some great snorkeling spots.

Poor communication and full deposit not refunded

My family stayed at Adventure Villa in March. We enjoyed our stay although unfortunatly, it ended sour in dealing with the property owner. We are still waiting to have our full deposit refunded and we have received many unkind words in corresponding with the owner. The owner was upset that the caretaker provided our group with drinking water which was offered to us upon our arrival and also was listed on the web page as an ammenity included ( the web page has recently been changed and now does not state drinking water is included). After the fact, the owner also complained that our group was too big to have stayed at her villa although she agreed to the size of our group prior to arrival and accepted full payment for our group and charged for the additional members. Unfortunately, our wonderful time in St. John ended on a bad note - only in dealing with a less than pleasant owner who has yet to return our final deposit.
Owner response:These people came as a party of 12. Not my booking but another owner who rented her villa to them then sold her villa before their arrival. She asked me to welcome at my villa 8 guests from their party and she would find another lodging for the 4 other guests . But she didn't & we ended up "welcoming" 12 guests who used 2,000 gallons of water cistern and also required 10 gallons of drinking water delivery/day. The villa was OK when they left ... At that time , I was in Paris attending my mother's funeral. So I ended up paying my supervisor using my car for 12 hours of delivery + gasolin + cost of water. This was the first time guests were so demanding. I created Adventure villa as a dream house to share its beauty & peacefulness with tenants. Sincerely. Elisabeth

As we look down upon the moonlit, your home sitting atop this mountain makes us feel as we too are stars. Our week was so outstanding ! Your artwork was a window that you opened for us to enjoy. The landscaping was enjoyed by many including beautiful birds that would stop by. Your shower areas were fabulous. We would truely love to return. What a magical place this is !

The snorkelling was terrific, 5 turtles so far, squid, beautiful fishes & the reefs are full of swaying ferns & Corals. Off to dive today again. Thanks for the Adventure. We hope St John stays the same & it won't take us long to come back.

Thanks for a wonderful stay at Adventure. It was a great mix of sun & quick beautiful tropical downpours and then the chorus of the frogs. We loved watching from the deck the cuckoo eating the pappaya & the lazy chameleons displaying their crimson neck. What an heaven of wonderful fauna. I am a palm tree lover & the big beautiful palms off the deck were special to me. If it xwas cloudy, we found your living room very comfortable & in the sun we lived on the deck. What a great week

Elisabeth, Bruce & I had a great time. The villa was fabulous. Being our first time in the VI, you made our trip one to remember. We are hoping to bring a group with us next time. Bruce took amazing photos of the plants in bloom. Your photos on the website are the real thing.
