Great Coral Bay View! solar power and central to beaches and hiking
Welcome to Little Palm Villa, spacious living for two or four. Many of our guests are repeats and say their favorite part of St John is the giant screened porch for dining and lounging. And an easy driveway you can turn around in! Ideally sited for enjoying the trade winds, Little Palm is in a quiet residential neighborhood overlooking the sailboats turning at anchor in Coral Bay harbor. Just minutes to friendly Coral Bay for groceries, restaurants, or water trips. 10 minutes to Maho Bay, a couple more to Francis and Leinster Bays, 25 to Salt Pond, East End or Cruz Bay- a great location.

*Downstairs: Master bedroom with king size bed is 12' x 24', with en suite bathroom/shower. An extra twin mattress for kids that want to sleep close by is available. Large porch is unscreened with handy clothes line
* Ground Floor: Great room with kitchen, lounge area, dining and a large screened porch. Ground floor has a smaller bedroom with a/c and king size bed, and large separate bathroom with orchids in the shower- all at drive way/parking level. No steps except the doorway on this floor!

We were very pleased with the accuracy of the facility listing. Communication was very prompt. We enjoyed Coral Bay, Salt Pond, Ram Head hike. Thanks for your recommendations, especially car rental. Nice location.
Yes. The hosts were very responsive. We had difficulty with TVremotes and they came personally to show us.The house has solsr and when the entire island lost powe for 24 hours they reminded us to use coffee press with gas stove to heat water. Had ceiling fans, electic lights and running water!
This was a perfect spot to enjoy beautiful St. John. Convenient to beaches and groceries with a few nearby restaurants. Such a comfortable home with wonderful views and island breezes. We would return in a heartbeat. Hosts are helpful and thoughtful.
Properly was as advertised. Ann and Rik were very responsive. The main floor deck was wonderful. The access and parking were great. Checkin and checkout very easy. Would rebook again.
Ann and Rik have a truly special home and my sister-in-law and I completely enjoyed our stay. We’d head out early for snorkeling having been to nearly every north shore beach and more, then return home to relax and either stay in for the evening or head out for great local music! The house location made it easy to get everywhere on the island. I hope to return someday!!
This place is a little slice of tropical paradise! The open air design was the best and the view from the deck was amazing! It was so relaxing to come back to after a busy day of exploring. Ann and Rik were great hosts and super responsive.
We came with two grandkids to Little Palm Villa and found it to be exactly what we needed. The open floor plan and screened-in porch were wonderful.
Would love to come back!
This villa is the perfect place to stay in Coral Bay with a 5 min drive to dinner, the market and a couple beaches. The villa is clean and the perfect place to make your breakfast and enjoy morning coffee while watching the sun light up the bay below. Then pack up your lunch in the cooler provided by Ann and Rik along with 4 snorkel masks, noodles, beach chairs, towels and umbrella that you can take to your adventures and be at Trunk Bay or Maho Beach within 20 minutes. Little Palm is the perfect quiet villa to stay for a relaxing and exploring island vibe experience. Ann and Rik were great hosts by proving all we needed to know in advance with easy entry instructions and restaurant and market recommendations that did not disappoint. We're already planning our return trip! Thank you for sharing your little gem with us!
Property overlooks beautiful Coral Bay which is quieter side of St. John but still close enough for access to all beaches and Cruz Bay for restaurants and shopping.
We had a wonderful week at Little Palm and can’t wait to return! The house was perfect for us and the view was beautiful. Everything was exactly as described and the location was great. The hosts are very friendly and easy to reach. Would definitely rent this house again!
This is a great place! The checkin process was clear and easy. The location is nice and quiet and off the road. The layout is as open and airy as it looks in the picture, and it is wonderful! Kitchen and bathrooms well-equipped for vacation usage. The two decks are massive and are perfect to soak in the beauty of Coral Bay. The drive to Coral Bay restaurants is very convenient. I would stay here again and would highly recommend to others.
We had such a lovely stay! Every morning, we had coffee and read on the beautiful, breezy screened-in patio overlooking Coral Bay before heading out to explore the island. It was so relaxing. Our one week vacation felt much longer, in all of the best ways. Hosts were so very responsive and warm. Such a special place to stay!
We could not have been happier with our decision to stay here. Our hosts were very responsive. It is a beautiful location, great house with wonderful views of Coral Bay. Fully equipped with everything you need.
You won't be disappointed if you choose this property
This house is beautiful & the open concept is so relaxing! My teenagers commented multiple times how amazing the house was & that they’d never stayed anywhere like it!We found the house to be very well appointed. Everything that we looked for was available. There were written directions for the tv, the lights are labeled… definite attention to detail. There were plenty of fins and masks, a cooler, chairs. They’ve really thought of everything The hosts are super responsive. We had a slight challenge with the oven & they were available promptly with a solution. I think this house is best for families with teenagers or two couples traveling together. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with younger children here due to the house layout … the two rooms are are different floors and both floors have very large decks. Amazing for us, just a word of caution for families with younger kids. We REALLY enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back someday!
What a beautiful stay in Coral Bay. Everything is as listed, Contact with owners perfect. Loved the solar panels for backup power which kept mostly everything going! Especially fridge and fans and lights. ! Driveway is excellent and paved road up! Such a pretty home and loved the inside outside shower! Would definitely stay again!
Our party of three adults loved the location and experience of renting a house on St. John in January, 2023. The house was clean and comfortable and contained everything needed for our visit. The appliances are up to date; the water was excellent; the wifi worked well. Mill Vista Road is paved up the hill from Highway 10.
First screened in porch/balcony with no insects and the view of Coral Bay and town! All the basics for cooking and barbecuing needed. Ann was ever so responsive the morning after we arrived to help us access wifi and use TV. We broke coffee caraffe first morning and she was there by noon with a replacement. We're going back next February.
Little Palm is very roomy with 2 levels and separate bedrooms. The upper screened deck is wonderful with a great view. Very relaxing. Location is convenient to everything on the island. If you like to snorkel Little Palm is central. 20 minutes max to the best locations. Don't miss the Windmill Bar when you visit St John. One of the best views anywhere. Highly recommend Little Palm if you appreciate a great value.
Little Palm was the perfect place for us. Ann and Rik were wonderful hosts. They provided tips on the best places to go, were quick to reply to text messages and everything else we could have needed like beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and snorkel gear were provided. We loved the wrap around screened in porch and we spent many evenings having gatherings around the large porch
dining room table. The drive to get to the house is easy as well as making it up the driveway (which was also easy to turn around in).
We would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Rik and Ann. The house is very unique in the sense that it is completely open air while being protected from mosquitos because there is a screen that wraps around the entire house. Location was great and provided easy assess to both north and south shore beaches. Our only regret is that we did not get a chance to meet Rik and Ann because they seem like really great folks...next time!

About the host
Hosted by Rik and Ann
Rik and Ann have owned a 65 ' charter boat doing week long charters in the Virgin Islands for 30 years and now live on a smaller sailboat when renting our house.
In the 90's we sailed our cruising boat to the South Pacific for 7 years and lived in New Zealand for 3 of those years before returning back to the Virgin Islands and chartering again.
When we travel our guests are in good hands with our friend Joy who knows the house and island as well as we do, and is nearby within hours if needed.
Why they chose this property
This is a unique house because of the openness and breeze. Having a screened in porch has allowed us not to have any doors leading onto the porch which gives the house an outdoor feeling and enhances the breeze. So you can spend more time enjoying the porch with that tropical feeling and views of the harbor and islands.
