About this property

Heated Pool & Solar Back-Up! Family-Friendly Home Moments to Maho Beach!

Ideally situated on Mamey Peak Road, Woodbine Villa is a spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped home with views out to both the North Shore and Coral Bay. The villa features solar power with battery back-up, a private pool (set at a comfortable 88 degrees year-round), a central location (only a 5 minute drive to Maho & Francis!), and all of the amenities needed for the perfect vacation on the beautiful island of St. John.

Woodbine boasts a completely updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and plenty of cooking necessities for making meals during quiet nights in. The attached living area offers a large couch and television for watching your favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu after a long day at the beach.

Through the kitchen and living room doors, the large deck area with pool welcomes guests with even more expansive views of Coral Bay and the British Virgin Islands. Float the afternoon away in the pool, watch the boats come and go from the harbor from one of the lounge chairs while reading a book, or simply enjoy the peaceful sunrise while sipping coffee from the outdoor dining area.

Featuring a family-friendly layout with two large bedrooms in the main house (all on one level with only two steps to enter the home) and an additional full studio apartment in the lower level, Woodbine sleeps up to six guests total.

The Master bedroom in the main house features a Queen-sized bed along with air conditioning, TV, and a full ensuite bathroom with double vanity and large tiled shower.

The second bedroom in the main house offers two twin beds (convertible to a King-sized bed), TV, and air conditioning. A second full bathroom with pedestal sink and large tiled shower is located off the main hallway.

The studio apartment, accessible from outside the home and down a set of steps, is perfect for another couple or older kids. The space offers a queen bed, large bathroom, full kitchen, and living area with TV and air conditioning. A small outdoor table is also suitable for enjoying breakfast and the breeze.

***Please note that the base nightly rate shown is for two total guests. There is a fee of $50 per person, per night for each additional guest. The maximum occupancy for the villa is six total guests. Access to lower studio apartment is provided only to parties booking for five or six total guests. For those booking for one to four total guests, you will have complete access to the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level of the home but the lower studio apartment will remain locked and unoccupied throughout the duration of your stay. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact the property manager, Emily. ***

Woodbine Villa also provides guests with a variety of beach gear, including: beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers with ice packs. We recommend renting snorkel gear and fins from either Beach Bum in Cruz Bay or Crabby's Watersports in Coral Bay.

The location of Woodbine Villa offers convenience, without compromising tranquility. A less than three minute drive down the mountain leads you to the entrance of the North Shore (Route 20), where the vast majority of the beaches are located. Imagine early morning snorkel trips to Francis Bay and still being able to enjoy a quick lunch at the villa before heading back down to relax the rest of the afternoon at Maho, Hawksnest, or Cinnamon Bay. The North Shore also boasts hiking trails, ruins, and a variety of watersports options, including kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

The town of Coral Bay, with various restaurants (many with live music numerous days a week), a grocery store, mini mart, and shops is a short 10 minutes east from Woodbine Villa. Venture the less than 20 minutes into Cruz Bay via North Shore Road for Happy Hour drinks with a sunset view or dinner at one of the many restaurants specializing in local caught seafood.

Please note that we have one NEST camera in the driveway/parking area. This camera records movement, but not sound.

Beautiful Villa away from it all
This property is fantastic. The views of the bays below are incredible! The house had everything we needed for a week on the island. The location is great for access to the north shore beaches as well as the less crowded beaches near coral bay! The host is very responsive and they help you get ready for your trip. We will stay here again!

Daly Vacation Visit
We had a wonderful time at Woodbine. The house is very well laid out with great amenities. Plenty of room made the visit that more relaxing. The oversized deck, pool and view were a highlight of staying at this location. It was close to beaches yet far enough away from Cruise Bay for us. If we decide to come back to St. John in the near future we would certainly stay at Woodbine again!

A perfect home away from home
Can't say enough good things about Woodbine Villa and Emily, the property manager.Woodbine had everything we needed for our family of four, kids ages 10 and 7. The views were absolutely stunning, even better than we could've imagined from the photos in the property listing. We watched the sunrise every morning - it was the most peaceful way to start the day. The property was extremely clean, well-stocked kitchen, beach gear provided, and pool. The kids loved all the animals - deer on the front and back lawn; donkeys in the road; chickens at the bottom of the hill; tree frogs; and hearing the roosters crow. Great location - minutes from the best beaches on the island; short drive to restaurants and other amenities.It was our first trip to St. John and Emily was so communicative, providing many tips and helpful information along the way. We were so sad to leave Woodbine and will miss the breathtaking views from the home. We hope to make it back to St. John and would definitely stay at Woodbine again and recommend to all our friends considering booking a trip.Thank you Emily and Anthony!

Woodbine as very well stocked with everything you could need. The villa,deck and pool were beautiful anddvery clean. As noted in the listing the drive up to the villa is rough however it wasn’t too long. Loved that it as close to North Shore beaches. A short drive to Coral Bay or Cruz Bay. Emily was very responsive to all texts. We will be back. The Reinemanns

Stop It! Photos do not capture the beauty of this property,
Do Not stay here. Just don't. The home and property are amazing. Emily, Amazing. Pool, Amazing. Weather, well, you understand, Amazing. This property sets a very high bar and any place after this just won't measure up. This place made our stay, the restaurant down the street, Shambles, avoid. It really is a shambles with cold food, slow service, barflies, and attitude. Better yet, do yourself a favor and make your meals in the well equipped kitchen. I wish that all of our stays were as wonderful as our stay here. Thank you.

Great stay!
We had a great week at Woodbine Villa! It was clean, well stocked and was in a perfect location to enjoy the whole island. Loved eating on the porch, we had a visit from the donkeys during dinner. The host was easy to communicate with and gave a lot of great suggestions! Thanks for an awesome week.

Wonderful Villa with Fabulous Views!
The pictures cannot describe the great feeling you have from the decks of this villa with lofty views on both sides. Inside, the villa is pristine with a great open floorplan and a very nicely remodeled kitchen that is very well equipped. Everything worked perfectly in the villa except a smoke detector that went on the fritz one morning, but Anthony came and fixed it right away so no problem. Studio apt on lower level was perfect for my son and his girlfriend to stay in with the added privacy. The solar power with battery backup came in handy one night when we had power outage that lasted several hours. Location was good for us - very close to Maho Bay which is one of our favorite beaches. The road up to the villa is a bit steep and bumpy but no problem if you have a jeep. Overall we had a great time and would gladly stay here again!

The perfect getaway
The pictures do no justice to just how beautiful this home is. The views were truly magnificent... high up in the mountains overlooking the ocean. It was simply paradise. It was within 8-15 minutes the beaches we wanted to go to - Maho, Cinnamon. There were Tommy Bahama beach chairs ready for us to use and an umbrella as well, but we opted to find the shade of trees. The house was so well appointed. Beautiful wood cabinets and top notch appliances. The strangest thing is that I would just think of an item I needed and I would find it in the cupboard easily... like magic. The hosts were so responsive. We needed for nothing. The home was cool and comfortable with a lot of open air as well as air conditioning in the bedrooms if they were needed. This home was really private and away from everyone and everything. The kids loved coming home from the beach, washing off in the outdoor shower, and then jumping into the pool which was the perfect size to just relax and catch views of the ocean and mountains. We've already decided that we would like to make this an annual trip and stay here if our gracious hosts would have us back.

Amazing property
The house was so well stocked so it was like visiting a relative! The house has wonderful views. The road is very bumpy in a couple of places. Emily provided a video showing what the drive up to house looked like so we knew what to expect. She also answered our questions and texts immediately. WV has very high end appliances and kitchen is well stocked! We brought cushions inside from deck after first night as heavy dew or showers made it uncomfortable to enjoy morning coffee out there. Beds very comfortable. Donkeys in the neighborhood amusing! Pool lovely. Location on coral bay is so close to beaches! Would highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at Woodbine
Our stay at the Woodbine villa on St. John was wonderful! Communication with the property owner was direct and seamless. The house is very functional and beautiful. Lots of cross ventilation from multiple screens meant we rarely needed air conditioning, but it is available in the bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything one could need on a tropical vacation getaway. We really appreciated the available beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and ice packs, and snorkel flippers. Internet was quick and WiFi access easy. Would absolutely stay again in the future when back on the island!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Woodbine Villa! The house is conveniently located between Cruz Bay and Coral Bay and close to several beaches. We rented a jeep so the drive up to the house was not a problem at all. The house was stocked with everything that we needed and the views were incredible.

Perfect Stay
Woodbine was the perfect villa for our family of 4 (2 kids, 6&4). We loved being all on one level and the constant cool breeze at Woodbine. Drive to the beaches was easy as was to Coral bay. Cruz a bit further but still easy. Emily was a great communicator and everything was smooth. No complaints at all and would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Week
As many have mentioned, the property looks better in person. A little hiccup to start as both showers had no heat. That was fixed the very next day and all was well. Emily was available from start to finish. The drive is harrowing as there is no paved road leading to the villa, so one's insides are bouncing around for about a 1/4 of a mile. I'd still come back next year. Really great week.

Peaceful Paradise
Amazing! Check-in was easy. Emily answered our questions very quickly and was so kind. The photos don’t do the view justice. We woke up to see the stunning sunrise every morning! Kitchen was well equipped…perhaps could use a new coffee maker if I were to make a small critique. Exterior of the house was charming with nicely done landscaping. Interior clean and comfy beds. Pool was lovely for our two young girls. Cross breezes with the screen doors were amazing. Easy ride to all the North Shore beaches. Note the final road to the rental is insanely bumpy (and we are from the mountains) but it’s a short couple minutes. Definitely hit Johnny Lime in Coral Bay. Loved it here. Will be back.

Absolutely amazing!
The pictures online do not do justice to this gorgeous property! Very clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated! Had that familiar, intoxicating smell of a luxury island resort hotel. We loved our stay at Woodbine Villa. Emily was wonderful to work with, so helpful and kind with any questions we had. Our family loved relaxing in the pool at the end of a beach day and it was nice to pack super light and be able to do laundry. We enjoyed cooking a few nights and the kitchen had everything you could ever need. We laughed every drive up and down the hill. St. John blew our minds and we fell quickly in love with the island, the people and this home. Would recommend and would stay here again in a heartbeat. The location was perfect. We loved being away from the busyness of Cruz Bay and being centrally located to all the best beaches. If we are able to return to ST John, this will be our place. And using Landlubber Logistics to stock the food and drinks before our arrival was money well spent-priceless the time that saved us. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate! Woodbine is the place ❤️

From the location to the amenities to the communication this was the best vacation rental ever!!
I've been to St John several times and this was the best in all respects. It was actually more like house-sitting than a rental. Everything you could need is there, including coolers & ice packs, beach chairs & umbrella/canopy, sunscreen, speaker, laundry detergent, spices, chip clips, grapefruit spoons - any random thing we wanted was there. The central location was perfect - it overlooks both Coral Bay and Francis Bay and is a 5 minute (gorgeous) drive down to Maho Bay. There was easy access to both Cruz Bay / north shore beaches and Coral Bay / south shore beaches. It's a private mountain-top retreat and you can see by the pictures how nice and relaxing it is after a long day of island adventures. The communication was concierge level - simply above and beyond. She provided timely and valuable information for every stage of the trip from planning & booking to travel requirements to ferry schedules, Jeep & snorkel gear rental. Every question was answered completely and helpful recommendations were offered. The video of the drive from Columbo's to the house was very helpful. We were so pleasantly surprised by the check-out process and that helped to ease the pain of our trip ending. Book this place...you won't regret it.
