About this property

Relaxing & peaceful family getaway with pool, AC, stunning views! Has generator!

Waterlemon Villa (now with a portable backup generator!) is a private 3BR, 3BA vacation home located on the hillside overlooking Coral Bay, St. John. At 700 feet above sea level, this casually elegant retreat is high enough to capture the breezes of the trade winds and close enough to the harbor to watch the sailboats come and go. The breathtaking 50-mile view up the Sir Francis Drake Channel extends all the way to Spanishtown Harbor on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. Two queen bedrooms downstairs and one bedroom upstairs with two twin bunk beds accommodate up to eight people. While opening the sliders and letting the amazing trade winds cool you off will always be a wonderful option, we also have air conditioning in each bedroom to keep all our guests comfortable throughout the year. Waterlemon Villa is a unique property in St. John because everyone is housed under one roof, connected by an indoor staircase, making it ideal for families! However, the privacy of the location and pool make it just as enticing for a honeymoon couple or an anniversary trip!

The house is equipped for gourmet cooking with a large gas grill, Cuisinart pots and pans, good knives, extensive cooking utensils, a microwave, and, of course, a blender and a margarita set. (This is a vacation home, after all). There are plenty of dishes and glasses if you wish to eat in and enjoy the view from the comfort of the screened-in porch. The house is equipped with a triple filtered water system including U/V light and is drinkable.

There are multiple options for relaxing at the Villa from chaise lounges at the pool, to rocking chairs on the lower level porch, to the outdoor living area on the upstairs screened-in porch. The comfortable wicker living room set in the great room is a terrific place for watching TV (you can connect to all of your favorite Smart TV programs) or listening to music. The house comes stocked with books and games that are fun for the whole family. Enjoy a game of cornhole or jenga by the pool or a boardgame on the porch.

Coral Bay restaurants are five minutes from the house, and the outstanding snorkeling beaches of Salt Pond Bay and Maho Bay are a scenic 10-15 minute drive. Put the beach chairs and the cooler in the car, grab the towels and spend the day exploring. Everything you need for the beach- chairs, coolers, towels, are included with your rental! The natural beauty of St. John awaits you!

Coral Bay and Waterlemon Villa are an easy 25 minute drive east from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay. Come and visit, paradise is calling...

What a lovely home! And I can’t stop thinking about the view! We had a fabulous time and the villa had everything we needed to enjoy our stay-snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach towels and coolers. The hosts were extremely accommodating even helping us stay extra nights when our flight was cancelled and answering all of our questions prior to our visit. We can’t wait to plan a return trip!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Waterlemon Villa. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned. The location was ideal. It felt like all of the beaches and restaurants were a simple short drive yet Coral Bay was quiet and had a very chill vibe. Communication with the host was outstanding from start to finish—clear instructions, quick responses, and genuinely welcoming.As indicated in prior reviews, as long as you have 4WD (and use it properly!!) there are no issues navigating the driveway.We would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stress-free, top-notch VRBO experience. Five stars all the way!

We had a fabulous week here with our four kids and my in-laws. The views were incredible and it was so quiet. The outdoor showers were absolutely amazing. The breezes were wonderful and sitting on the screened in patio under the fans was surely my favorite spot. The steep indoors stairs were a challenge for my youngest daughters (3&7) and my older in-laws (73&75) other than that we loved our stay. I was very impressed with the well appointed kitchen and how well everything was cared for. The drive up to the villa took some getting used to had to use four wheel drive a few times. We loved our stay and it will be a lifelong memory for us. We got to watch our kids fall in love with the island we honeymooned on 14 years ago!
