About the host
Hosted by Ron Yackel
Sue & Ron Owners of Papaya Moon Villa. We came to St John in February 1989 to celebrate our Birthdays. Sue immediately fell in love with it and we decided to move there and try it for one year. We did not want to say "We wish We would have". It took almost 2 years to find Papaya Moon.
Why they chose this property
This was our home for 13 years until we moved back to the states to take care of our aging parents. We loved the fact that it was so secluded and still is and we thing we have one of the best views on island.
What makes this property unique
Papaya Moon is centrally located on island so we are close to our favorite beaches on the North as well as the South shore. The pool and Hot Tub are what make it nice for additional enjoyment and/or relaxation when not at a beach.
