Eight years ago Adventure villa was designed as a family home to provide a safe haven for our family. After many years of travels and sailing on our 35 feet boat through the Caribbean arch, we all needed a cosy and spacious place to enjoy.
The 4,100 square feet of Adventure villa provides enough space for the numerous artifacts collected during ten year stay in India & Africa and original paintings from St Johnian artists.
It also offered privacy to our teenage children who were eager to have their own private entrance to their bedroom and bath #3 and #4.
Now that our kids are grown up, Adventure villa turned out to be a successful weekly rental especially by the quality of its guests.
Adventure villa and its mahogany cathedral ceilings are laid out east to west which allows the easterly Trade winds and ceiling fans to ventilate every room.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2001
After many years of travels, our family needed a cosy nest. Working as a landscaper in St John, Adventure location was the best spot I could find to realize my dreams. I redesigned the villa as aerie as if it was a boat: Adventure villa and its mahogany cathedral ceilings are laid out east to west which allows the easterly Trade winds and ceiling fans to ventilate every room. Shower and laundry waters go to Jasmin and banana trees in inner gardens.
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.
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 of the caribbean islands.
Before I bought Adventure in 2001, I had the opportunity to landscap other rental houses troughout 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 with all the qualities which I loved on my boat: Open air screened windows and bathrooms with spectacular views. Red Cedar and mahogany woods 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 or cottage, you can relax and be one with nature and its wild life while sharing the best of both worlds: Sea and shore ... if you have enough energy as the villa is 12 minute drive to pristin beaches with nice snorkelling, kayaking, parasailing 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, a session in the jacuzzi and a gourmet snack in the kitchen, you will be ready to enjoy a nice meal with live music and dancing in one or two restaurants in Coral Bay. There are more restaurants with gourmet cuisine. Yes it is a sportive holliday !
The Unique Benefits of this Adventure villa 3 bed, 3 ensui
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, Frangipany and Jasmin flowers. They sometimes pay us a visit to polanize the papaya, cherry and lemon trees. Sometimes an old 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.

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.
