Sun, Moon & Stars - Breathtaking Views, Hot Tub & Solar Heated Pool

We spent a glorious week at SMS (June 9-16). The pictures just don't do it justice. We have been coming to St John for many years, but this was our first time at SMS and Calabash Boom.

First, the view is just incredible. We started our days with coffee, admiring the view, and ended our days admiring the view. You could get lost in it.

The villa is imaculate, beautifully decorated, yet so comfortable. There were so many nice touches (I loved the adult coloring book and colored pencils, and the Buddah Board). Everything you need is there; just bring yourself!

We never used AC or fans; the breeze is constant! The location is perfect; peaceful and quiet; but just a short drive down to Coral Bay. The drive up and down is easy to negotiate as the switchbacks keep it from being too steep.

We visited all our favorite places for lunch or dinner, including Oasis, Skinny Legs, Aqua Bistro and Rhumb Lines.

We also enjoyed using the grill (grilled chicken, with Josephine's organic salad greens from Starfish Market).

Yes, St John has suffered from the hurricanes, but everyone is so warm and welcoming. We hiked Reef Bay Trail (trees are in good shape there) and Ram Head, and snorkeled Salt Pond, Hawksnest, Francis Bay, Maho and Cinnamon. We rented paddleboards and had a blast.

If you have visited St John before, come to SMS; you won't be sorry! If you haven't, what are you waiting for? We'll be back!

My husband and I just returned from our trip in this villa. The pictures are true views from and of the villa. It truely is that beautiful. Plenty of privacy with great amenities including beach chairs and a cooler so we were set for the beach. The hot tub was fabulous after a day of hiking and snorkeling. We loved Coral Bay. It has wonderful restaurants and has more of the local flavor which we totally enjoyed! The restaurants in Coral bay, Pickles, the Pizza Bar and Oasis along with Coccoloba are outstanding! If you prefer the busier side of the island, Cruz Bay was an easy 25 min drive. Can't say enough about the Villa and St. John in general. We loved our time there!

House had fantastic view to BVI and enjoys a steady, cooling breeze. We never used the AC. The switchback drive up to the house is SOP for St. John and pretty tame compared to nearby homes.

Location was great. Have stayed closer to Cruz Bay in past, but our favorite spots are Francis Bay, Leinster Bay, Hansen Bay and Salt Pond. This house was convenient to all.

We were at Sun, Moon and Stars the first week of April. We were a little anxious about coming due to reading so much about the effects on the island from the hurricanes, but we are so glad we did! The house was in perfect condition, and just as pictured. The views are absolutely amazing. We loved spending the mornings watching the sunrise, and the afternoons in the pool. On the days where the breeze was strong, we spent more time in the hot tub.

I was looking for a place that was private, serene, and away from the hustle and bustle of life, and this definitely met that expectation. I woke up one morning to go out to see the sunrise, and found myself about 5 feet from a deer that was coming up the hillside right beside the pool. It was beautiful to watch.

The house has everything you'll need, and was very comfortable for us. We are people that enjoy our air conditioning, so it was nice to have in the bedroom, but we really did not miss it at all throughout the rest of the house, because we kept all the doors open, and the breeze kept it extremely comfortable.

This was our first experience on St. John. The roads were quite an adventure, and we were definitely put to the test just coming up the hill to the house. But, after one time up and one time down we felt much more comfortable and found ourselves coming and going without even thinking about it.

The restaurants in Coral Bay are open for business, and we enjoyed a different one every night. I strongly encourage anyone to go to St John and enjoy it's beauty, and help the island in it's recovery efforts by bringing the tourism back. We look forward to making this an annual trip, and hope to return to Sun Moon and Stars!

My wife and I can't express enough about how we enjoyed our stay at Sun, Moon and Stars in late August of 2017. I would even go as far as calling it our best adventure together. I say adventure because of the sights and setting and 4 wheel driving around St. John. The donkeys and goats and cows and deer in the area and the most outstanding scenery we have ever witnessed. Dave was our local host and could not have been more friendly and helpful. Until our visit at SMS, we had never had anyone show us around the house, answer questions or give us valuable advice about our stay. The house was very clean and stocked well. It was a perfect place for a couple to stay. But forget about the house because we didn't want to leave the huge deck, pool and hot tube area. The photos on this website do not do justice to the real-life experience and it was totally private. I had intended to do a little writing on my 4th novel during our visit, but I didn't find time to write a single word. Not because we were busy, but because we were enjoying the house and surroundings. I did leave a copy of my 3rd novel, "Mosquito Lagoon" on the book self as a gift to the home and future guests. We don't have the opportunity to travel this distance often, but when we do once again it will be to the Sun, Moon and Stars. And speaking from a personal perspective, the east coast of St. John is 100% worth the short drive from Cruz Bay. The area is so much more laid back and private. I would give more than 5 stars if possible. You will not be disappointed if you vacation at this wonderful place. C.A.Griffith
