About this property
"Almost beachfront " Snorkeling & Kayaks across the street. 2 Bed 2 Bath Cottage
Unwind in Coral Bay on the quiet side of St John at this lovely recently renovated "almost beachfront" property perched just above the shoreline.
There are 2 coral reefs right across the street from the house at both ends of Johnson Bay for endless underwater exploring as well as sea grass beds for turtle sightings.
With 2 air-conditioned queen bedrooms & ensuite simple-elegance private baths with full-flow showers, this property provides a terrific space for guests to unwind, relax, recharge, and enjoy.
In addition to the approx 1000 square foot Cottage there is an additional 1000 square feet of outside living comprised of a 10' x 17' x 4' heated swim-spa with adjacent covered seating/dining area & mini-fridge, 2nd level sun deck with 4 cushioned loungers, large dining & lounge area with ample seating & surrounding decks.
The cottage features modern amenities like Wi-Fi, AC (bedrooms only), a full-size front-load washer/dryer, dishwasher, iron & board, hair dryer, smart streaming TVs in bedrooms and sitting room & much more.
The full kitchen has all the amenities including a dishwasher, microwave, air-fryer, coffee maker, toaster, electric tea pot, blender, ice maker, full-size gas oven/range, full-size fridge, and a variety of other accoutrements available upon request. See the full list in the additional info.
The open sitting, dining, & kitchen area is naturally cooled in this perfect location by Easterly Caribbean Tradewinds straight from the shore through screened windows & doors (gotta keep those occasional pesky bugs out) & ventilated through a cupola giving a natural airflow 24/7 with the addition of 4 ceiling fans for added comfort.
We are 1 mile from Coral Bay Center & a 5 min walk (30 second drive) to Calabash Market amply supplied with all of your basic daily needs. Rural yet convenient with paved driveways, ample parking, and direct access through a private security gate with a gently sloped driveway for ease of entry and parking at the main level so no stairs to climb when loading in & out. (No long dark & scary winding access roads or driveways necessary for you to return after a long day or night out).
The house faces directly east with unobstructed views overlooking Coral Bay, the East End of St John, Hurricane Hole, Flanagan Island, & the BVI's of Tortola & Norman's "Treasure Island" without a neighbor in sight. The closest neighboring properties you can see are perched high on a ridge a half mile away giving you all the privacy you need for your ideal Island getaway.
Immerse yourself in the quaint charm of this vacation rental and experience a truly delightful stay. You'll enjoy laid-back Coral Bay where you'll experience the "Island Life" of yesteryear with unique gift shops, live music, good restaurants, and yet also convenient with 2 additional grocery stores which have generous selections of your favorite libations. Only 10 minutes away you'll find the World Class legendary white sand beaches of the North Shore, or head to the South Shore beaches and hiking trails also just 10 min away for a completely different experience.
Coolers, beach towels, and beach chairs are provided.
2 tandem kayaks are also available free of charge (a $500 weekly value) at the users own risk but flotation vests are not provided. You may rent those as well as snorkel & beach gear at Beach Bum or Ocean Surfari in Cruz Bay or Crabby's Watersports in Coral Bay. A separate release of liability agreement is required for the kayaks as well as a loss & damage liability & deposit agreement to be completed on-site.
Book now and enjoy everything this cottage has to offer.
Our on-site property manager is happy to take great care of you if you need anything while in residence and is available 24/7 for emergencies. The Islands do lose power periodically so we are equipped with a generator which will be implemented by the property manager during such power interruptions.
The 2-bedroom unit is the upper level of the Cottage.
Please note that this home has a security camera pointed onto the driveway which you will have dedicated access to during your stay. You may also choose to have it decommissioned during your stay.
Additional Fees:
12.5% USVI Hotel Accommodation Tax
Cleaning $150

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jim Hart

Originating from 40 years and an additional 20 summers of my youth growing up on Martha's Vineyard following a 200 year family history of the same stemming from a family heritage beginning in MA in 1632, I am the first of my immediate family to leave the New England area. I relocated to St John 5 years ago.
Hosting is a long-lived family tradition having done the same on the Vineyard for decades. We love being able to offer guests the ability to visit amazing places where not everyone is able to live permanently. St John is definitely one of those places & Aqua Vista is proud to be able to provide a relaxing accommodation during your visit.

What makes this property unique
Aqua Vista is one of few properties located in such close proximity to the water just 100 feet away. You'll find a stony beach with sandy water entry for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or even just floating about right across the street with foot access through a right-of-way. Aqua Vista is also rural but right off the main road for quick & easy access without a neighbor in sight yet minutes to the convenience of groceries & restaurants.
