About the host

Hosted by Marykae & Al

Host profile image
We are the Scott's, Al & Marykae, the owners of Lime in de Coconut, Utopia Peter Bay, Shangri-La Villa, The Beach Oasis Villa, The Palms Villa, Pirates Landing Villa, Coconut Cottage, Poseidon’s Retreat and Neptune's Retreat. Yes, that is a lot of villas on the island; it genuinely attests to our love of St John!! We love the quiet calm and natural beauty of the island!! It's a very special place with an enchanting town, gentle green hillsides, and crystal clear, turquoise blue tropical water.

We first started coming to the island as a couple in 2011 and rented various accommodations. After many frequent trips to the island, we decided that it's time to buy our own place; somewhere we can call home and that would encompass what we loved about our frequent stays. Waterfront, directly on the water was what we both loved and that was our number one criterion when searching. We saw Lime in de Coconut Villa advertised and immediately fell in love with it and bought it right then. All our family love the island and at our family gatherings, there's always a great story or fabulous memory shared. It's everyone's favorite place to vacation!! St. John is a magical piece of this earth full of amazing blessings from God and nature. We loved the villa so much that we got married at Lime In De Coconut in 2017!

In renting our villa we found that all of our guests loved the villa and we kept hearing time and time again it was there best ever vacation. It was from this that we decided to expand this into a little business and started to look for the perfect properties on St. john. We want all our guests to Love St John and have the best vacation possible as we do. We know you will catch the feel good vibes of the island and our villas too! This is our escape from reality-haaaa!!

Come on down have some fun and relaxation and when done take away memories of a life!

Why they chose this property

Why Marykae & Al chose these villas:

We love being directly on the ocean, and to be on the sandy beach also is a dream come true. We're so happy to have found this property. There's nothing better than being on the sand and swimming in the ocean that is only steps away from the patio. Enjoy drinks on the patio while watching the kids play in the sand and swim in the ocean. Never have a warm drink at the beach again!!

What makes this property unique

What makes this Villa unique

Luxury on the sandy beach! With all the fun toys to play with!! Kayaks, Stand-up Paddle Boards, Snorkeling Gear, Boogie Boards...it's all here and just outside the door.
The patio is huge with lots of comfy chairs to relax and enjoy listening to the crashing waves and seeing the beautiful Caribbean Water.
