Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. We had a great month and can see it will only get better as you add solar power and complete adding the new windows. We would plan to stay again in the future when we visit Saint John, low key area, just how we like it.Management was very attentive when we needed something. This only happened a couple times.All our best, Mark & Shelley.

Coral Bay

Nestled into the hillside overlooking Coral Bay and the BVIs, this property offers an ideal setting to soak in the splendor of St. John. Our family loved the villa's design, which seamlessly blends inviting common areas with cozy private spaces, perfect for unwinding by the pool or sharing a family meal. Our hosts were great at checking in, and readily available. The location is central to great beaches and local shops within a short distance.

Milestone trip

This trip was to celebrate retirement, milestone anniversaries, and birthdays. The house was perfect for three couples, with three private suites and a great, comfortable common area. This home provides everything you need for a worry-free stay. And the pool, the views, the decks…awesome!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! We would not hesitate to book it again!

January, 2024

Wonderful house in a beautiful location. The property overlooks Coral Bay, and had beautiful sunrises every morning. There was a constant cooling breeze coming in off the Bay all day, making for very comfortable living conditions. The hosts were extremely helpful, providing helpful tips about getting on Island, about where to eat, and about the beaches and sights to see. The house, with extras, comfortably accommodated our group of 10. Will definitely be coming back.

Great Home in Coral Bay

I was advertised. The views were tremendous out into Coral Bay and beyond. Property owners were extremely responsive and appreciated and answered questions that we had very promptly. We enjoyed be clear night sky and stars each night on the deck. Very comfortable beds and private bathrooms for each of the three. We like to laid-back atmosphere of Coral Bay, very relaxing and peaceful.

Loved the view and the Villa!

We had such a great stay, the Villa itself was so nice. By far our favorite aspect was the amazing views of Coral Bay. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking at the bay while hearing the waves crash watching the occasional sail boat. Three well appointed bedrooms suited our family well. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals when we didn't want to eat out. We even used the BBQ grill one night and cooked some fresh mahi-mahi. The pool and deck area was very nice and relaxing as well. We enjoyed that this Villa is located in Coral Bay which is less populated and more private as compared to the other side of the island. Hope we are able to come back again soon!

Perfect vacation spot

This house is incredible, everything you could want, clean, lots of room for everyone, easy to find and park, beautiful bedrooms, good sized pool, nearby restaurants and Calabash market. We went to the beaches every day, but we easily could have just stayed at the villa and hung out drinking blender drinks and it would have been awesome. The owners of this villa were awesome specifically in terms of helping us get provisioning, a jeep to rent and answering any questions that we had prior to arrival and after we got there. Wish I was still there!

Loved Villa Helios!

We had a fantastic month-long stay with this super responsive host. The property is exactly as advertised and photographed with the additional benefit of being on one of the few residential streets in St. John that does not require 4 wheel drive. A real money saver. In addition it has an available apartment beneath the main house that you can rent pretty cheaply for visitors. We had 4 additional people for part of our stay and the "Grotto," as they call it, was perfect for them.

Spacious retreat with amazing ocean views

It exceeded all our expectations. Clean big rooms and private baths. Really loved the several different gathering places , we used them all. Easy to get to anywhere on the whole island. Using the kitchen was like being at home. Any pan or utensil we needed was there. (We had some foodies along that love to cook). Great communication with the Shipleys all the way through the booking to sadly leaving to go home.

Amazing stay in st john

We had the best time staying in villa helios! The villa was stocked with anything you could possibly need for a stay in st john- beach chairs and towels, snorkel equipment, baby equipment, all cooking equipment. The beds were super comfortable after a long day out. We had many questions for Nancy before our trip and she got back to us super quickly. The third bedroom is around the corner of the second house and it had the most gorgeous sunrise views right from bed. Thank you for sharing your house with us!
