Our family (8 adults, 1 toddler) stayed here over Thanksgiving 2023 and had a wonderful stay. Views are phenomenal; nice private bay / water access for paddle boarding / snorkeling. Outdoor living spaces are incredible; fabulous pool with lots of seating; 2 outdoor bars / grilling areas. Inside is spacious and bright / well lit with great views.
We were first timers to St. John and a bit concerned on the location, but it is not an issue. You can stay at the home and be very comfortable, but easy access (about 10 minutes) to Coral Bay. The most popular beaches are 20 / 25 minute ride (we learned quickly that you have to drive to most everything in St. John). But, there is a very nice local beach only about 5 minutes away as well.
We are an active family - did lots of hiking, snorkeling, swimming. Some of the best snorkeling was right in our bay at the house or at the nearby beach.
Most importantly, we can't say enough about the host. Michael was extremely helpful from the time we booked until the time we left. He had great suggestions for traveling in, buying food, local restaurants, etc. That sounds minor, but for our family (4 adult couples and one toddler) traveling from 3 different locatilites, it was extremely helpful.
