Situated on the breezy mountain top of Upper Carolina, private home with pool and spa has panoramic views looking down onto Coral Bay Harbor and The British Virgin Islands. This very private home is situated on a large piece of land in a tropical island setting. The over-sized deck off each unit of this home provides ample space for star gazing and day dreaming. Barbecue a scrumptious meal on the large deck space and marvel at the expansive ocean views.
This casual interior of this Caribbean cottage is painted with bright island colors and is furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan seating.
On the lower level, the pool with a beautiful travitine tiled deck is surrounded by papaya, banana, coconut, citrus trees, herbs and fragrant tropical plants. The owners are avid gardeners which is evident by the mature manicured gardens.
Papaya Moon is just a quick 15 minute ride to the National Park beaches and just under a ten minute drive to Coral Bay and twenty minutes from Cruz Bay.

A place like no other!
Patrick and I arrived at Papaya moon early afternoon and was so impressed with the beautiful villa. Ron and Sue met us and we immediately knew they would be the perfect hosts! They had us come in to their upstairs part of the villa. Beautiful! When we entered our part downstairs we were thrilled at how beautiful and clean it was. The view overlooked the most exceptional parts of the island and bays. From then on we knew it was going to be a fabulous vacation and it was! We were supplied with chairs, beach towels, cooler and anything you might need while their on vacation! The villa was just as described only better. We would recommend staying at this gorgeous villa. We look forward to coming back next year!

Private, beautiful, and gorgeous views.
We stayed in Suite Papya and enjoyed the view and the privacy. It was amazing how little you would hear of average every day noise, but the noises you did hear were so pleasant. The sounds of the trees, the wind, the birds, the ocean breeze we felt were things we do not experience in Chicago EVER!
The amenities were amazing as the privacy of the pool was great. We loved the deck that surrounds the entire place and woke up in the mornings to beautiful sunrises. It is secluded from the busy downtown, but close enough to make the trip.
My favorite part of our stay was the amazing beaches, the multiple cool restaurants and bars, but returning to our little private villa. It was so nice to shower, sit on the balcony, and enjoy the stars. We will definitely return to Papaya Moon. There were no flaws and enjoyed all of the sea life, the wild donkeys, and the drinks on the deck!!! Everyone should get to experience this once in their life. Thank you to Sue and Ron for being such gracious hosts!!!!

Island Paradise
Ron and Sue are such warm and affable hosts, they alone are reason to come to Papaya Suite or Place in the Sun, but they have beautiful suites with beautiful views that certainly are a draw as well. They've thought of everything their guests might need from snacks for the beach, to beach towels to well equipped kitchens. And, they've thought of what just makes for a pleasant stay-- flowers in the window, hummingbird feeder to be viewed from the bed of the Papaya Suite. Their home and gardens are beautiful; we felt honored to share them.
Hospitable hosts, charming apt magnificent views!

Beautiful view, great base for exploring St John
I came for a week to work remotely and explore St John. Ron and Sue are the best hosts. They made me feel welcome from the minute we met. The place is even better than it looks in the photos. The views were stunning. I especially loved sitting in the hot tub after dark looking at the stars. The restaurants in Coral Bay are good and relatively easy to get to. It's not hard to get anywhere on the island really. This place makes a great home base for exploring St John. I would definitely stay here again.
Extremely Secluded- Papaya Moon
It was beyond our wildest dreams. The pictures do NOT do Papaya Moon justice. It is far prettier than they show. We found having a 4wd vehicle being very helpful, but then we also roamed all over the island. While it would sleep 4 having only a single bedroom would rule out 2 couples, but kids would work. -- The decks spectacular, the views superb, and close to everything if you are there to enjoy the east end of the island. Cruz Bay was a drive but not out of the question. The privacy was fantastic, hot tub, pool, all fantastic. Our greeter was very helpful, and did a fine job. We DEFINATELY will be back!!!
