What a stunning piece of paradise. Sue and Ron were such welcoming hosts, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. They were so kind and treated us like family. Such a quiet, peaceful home. The view is the best part. HUGE deck with stunning views. Not to mention, the place was very clean and well maintained. The bed was so comfortable, the fresh breeze from all the windows and doors were so relaxing. There is air in the unit but wasn’t even needed with all the fresh cool air. We definitely hope to come again!

Our hosts were fabulous and gave us so many wonderful suggestions for how to make the most out of our limited vacation time. Sue gave us ideas for hiking, beaches, music venues, restaurants, grocery stores, history, the latest happenings on the island, the best snorkeling…you name it and she seemed to know about it and then some. She was very responsive when we had requests. We had the most stupendous view and fabulous outdoor patio space we could imagine- what a way to wake up every morning!. They provided a cooler so that we could take snacks/lunch for day and beach towels. We had a delightful stay and really enjoyed being on the Coral Bay part of the island. I don’t think there is a more knowledgeable host on the island than Sue! Thank you for everything! Your vast knowledge, kindness, thoughtfulness, and suggestions made such a difference in how much we enjoyed our vacation and in how much we were able to see, do, and experience!

Great location and views

We usually stay in Cruz Bay so this was our first stay in Coral Bay. We picked the right house for us as it was perfect for two people and as nice as advertised. The location was perfect as it was a short drive to the North shore beaches without going into Cruz Bay. We were able to explore the other side of the island and loved the quieter beaches. The house had a great deck with amazing views of Coral Bay.

Hospitable hosts, charming apt magnificent views!

Ron and Sue are such warm and affable hosts, they alone are reason to come, 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 it.

Best View on Island

The views are way better than pictured! Ron & Sue are amazing, so helpful & friendly. We enjoyed seeing Thelma (sweetest dog ever). The breeze is wonderful. We felt comfortable the whole time. Never needed the air conditioner. If you are looking for a heavenly oasis this is your place! 💜 The location is awesome. We were close enough to north, east & south shore beaches. The property is so beautiful! You will not want to leave each day. We saw gorgeous sunrises, and sunsets. This place is so peaceful. Lots of gorgeous plants and trees, humming birds and flowers. They have the best books available for you to browse about St. John’s as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us.

Outstanding! Best VRBO ever!

Ron and Sue are superb, gracious hosts who have thought of EVERYTHING in their rental property. The location is perfect, quiet, breathtaking views yet close to restaurants and a grocery store. The rental unit was extremely clean and had everything you could possibly want - beach bags and chairs, coolers, bath robes, toiletries, even a sewing kit! The bed was very comfortable. We never needed to use the A/C since cross breezes were blowing all week. The outdoor spaces are comfortable and relaxing, with beautiful landscaping. The pictures do not do it justice. We have stayed in many VRBOs and AirBnBs and this was the best by far. Ron and Sue told us about great places to eat, hike, swim and snorkel that we likely would not have found on our own. Ron and Sue's place made our first trip to St. John very special, and we hope to return and stay with them again.

Beautiful Views on the Quiet Side

The views are hands down insane! You won’t find those kind of views anywhere else on the island. Make sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise. The mattress was hard and I believe does need to be replaced along with a couple pillows and the comforter was scratchy. There was no soap in the bathroom pump. We wanted to spend time down by the pool but there was no umbrella for shade. Small things but little things make a difference especially a good bed when you’re there all week. We didn’t make it to the hot tub because it was just too warm. Wish we could’ve thought the views would’ve been amazing to sit there with a cocktail. There were multiple rooms to stay so it would be perfect for multiple families. Sit out on the back deck with a good book and you’ll be in heaven all day!

Thank You for choosing Suite Papaya for your 5 day stay with us in Coral Bay. Yes, we are very blessed to have such awesome views which never get old. We are so very sorry you found the relatively new firm mattress with a topper to not me your needs. We have many repeat guests and have never been told the mattress is need of replacement. Additionally, we regret you did not find more pillows in the day room to supplement the 4 (2 King and 2 standard) Beauty Rest pillows on the King bed. It was our understanding, when we provided you a fleeces blanket, at your request, your discomfort with the cotton voile lightweight quilt and cotton sheets was resolved. We are pleased you found the additional hand and facial soap in the vanity since the soap dispenser was empty. W wil make a concerted effort to ensure all amenities are fully restocked for each guest's pleasure. It is unfortunate we are unaware of the need for an umbrella at the pool. These can be found in the storage box next to the grill on the pool deck. Again, had we known of any need to make your stay the best we certainly would have promptly responded to any request. We appreciate your kind words about the location and your feedback so we can ensure all guest have a flawless stay with us.

Hello, My name is Holly and my husbands name is Jason. We recently stayed in this condo oct 5-12 in 2019. THE VIEW - JUST WOW!!!! Words cant describe how beautiful the view was. The pool was very clean and the room was so cute with the decor and we loved the view from the shower window. Every inch of the place had an amazing view of the whole island. We saw goats and donkeys riding up the road to the house almost every day. The house is very close to all the beaches within 10-15 min drive to all the beaches and about 10 min drive to most restaurants then about 25 min drive to town to cruz bay. We had such a great time and it was so romantic and relaxing! We had the whole place to ourselves and it was so amazing to get away just me and my husband. The room had provided: coolers and beach chairs and beach bags and all the things we needed for the beaches. The grocery store was only like 10 min away which was a plus. I will be back for sure! This was such a great place! I can not say one thing bad about this place. The owners even texted me while we were there to make sure we were happy and everything was going good. It was an AMAZING TRIP!!!!

Best Romantic Getaway

This property was perfect for a weeklong getaway. It’s quiet and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We had everything we needed and picked up whatever we were missing from the small market/store located a few minutes away. Even though it was our first trip to St. John’s, we quickly figured out how to get around. It was pretty easy (25 minutes or less) to get to several beaches and downtown for meals. If you chose to stay in, there’s still so much to do. We enjoyed the views, took lots of pictures and lounged around the pool. It was pretty much the perfect vacation spot and we’d highly recommend it.

Our hosts were very amenable and gave us lots of interesting helps and information. Only wish we could have extended our stay!

Thank you for the kind remarks about your stay at Papaya Moon Villa - Suite Papaya. You certainly made the best use of your vacation on St John by splitting your time with stays near Cruz Bay and then with us in Coral Bay . Yes, Coral Bay is the country quiet side of St John and has plenty of "wildlife" with its roaming sheep, goats and donkeys. We look forward to your return and hope it is a longer stay.

Suite Papaya is a 5 star property all the way

My wife and I stayed a Suite Papaya for eight nights and enjoyed every minute. The property has a great location and is very secluded high on the mountain side. The huge covered porches was our favorite part with outstanding views and very comfortable breezes, even in August. We did not get to meet Ron and Sue but it is clear that they take great pride in their property. Would consider staying at Suite Papaya any time we are in St John

About the host

Hosted by Ron Yackel

Host profile image
Sue & Ron Owners of Papaya Moon Villa. We came to St John in February 1989 to celebrate our Birthdays. Sue immediately fell in love with it and we decided to move there and try it for one year. We did not want to say "We wish We would have". It took almost 2 years to find Papaya Moon.

Why they chose this property

This was our home for 13 years until we moved back to the states to take care of our aging parents. We loved the fact that it was so secluded and still is and we thing we have one of the best views on island.

What makes this property unique

Papaya Moon is centrally located on island so we are close to our favorite beaches on the North as well as the South shore. The pool and Hot Tub are what make it nice for additional enjoyment and/or relaxation when not at a beach.
