It was a wonderful stay. Jack and Julie are amazing. We are already planning our next visit hopefully soon. The villa is in the perfect spot. Coral Bay is perfect for families or to able to relax.
My wife and I had an excellent time ! Jack and Julie are terrific hosts and the accommodations are superb ! We strongly recommend Julie's cooking. The food is excellent and delivered right to the Studio. The glazed salmon was to die for. Also it is so convenient to be able to rent a Jeep there. We have been renting from Jack and Julie for the past 7 years, and have never been disappointed ! We look forward to our visit next year. .
Location was fantastic. Easy to get around. Our focus was the NP so it was perfect. Little convenience store next door. Good places to eat. Jeep rental very convenient and affordable. Snorkel gear was a huge plus. Lost power but backup generator was huge!!! Loved the porch for morning coffee and sunrise because you really do get to see them all. Would definitely go back. Julie and Jack, thank you for everything.
We really enjoyed our stay! The island, water, beaches and national park are beautiful! The lodging simple, spacious and clean, with a great view of Coral Bay harbor.
We loved the Coral Bay side of St John and Jack and Julie's place was the perfect home base. The living space was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The deck was amazing and we couldn't get enough of the views! Julie's recommendations for beaches and hikes were spot on and the jeep and all the beach gear were a huge bonus. Julie is an excellent chef and we enjoyed two of her meals on the deck. We'd love to visit again!
Beautiful view of Coral Bay. Comfortable studio with everything we needed including beach chairs and insulated bag for day trips around the island. Jack and Julie are thoughtful hosts who live on the property. We loved our stay.
My wife and I spent 10 wonderful days in Julie and Jacks Studio in Coral Bay. It was very convenient to have the jeep rental at the property. We had a marvelous dinner of Scallops, squash and rice the first night and a fresh home baked mango banana bread waiting for us in the fridge. We enjoyed the beautiful views form the large porch overlooking Coral Bay Harbor. Enjoyed our day at the private spot on Hansen Bay swimming with the turtles and colorful fish! We will be back to enjoy Julie and Jacks hospitality again.
The location of this rental is perfect for a beautiful breeze, great views, an easy location to get to, close to many Coral Bay restaurants/shops, and overall a great place to stay. The ease of having your car rental on site was fantastic. The check in process was very long, which after a long travel day was kind of a lot/unusual for the typical VRBO rental, but everything was communicated and there were no questions left unanswered. We would recommend this place to our friends.
My husband and I honeymooned here and absolutely loved our stay! The island is so great & Jack and Julie are amazing and so helpful! We are already planning our next stay with them!!!
Everything was terrific ! The meals that Julie prepares are excellent. The Jeep rental is reasonable and very convenient. We had a great time as usual and we look forward to visiting again next year.
The property and location were amazing! The views were so beautiful! The best part was Julie and Jack! They are so wonderful and the food Julie made for us two nights was Michelin quality! Beyond recommend to anyone interested in a special getaway!
The great advice about there villa, the car rental they offer it was great and reasonable, the access of the private beach it was very pretty and clean, the kindness of Jack and Julie was awesome making sure they take care of the villa
Julie and Jack go up and beyond to accommodate their guests! Having taxis set up and rental of their jeeps made our stay easy and comfortable. Julie’s room service meals were was delicious and having meals on your deck with beautiful views was priceless. Definitely would reccomend and look forward to returning here!
This studio was perfect for my husband and I and our short stay as we explored St. John. The first half of our trip was in Cruz Bay and we ended here in Coral Bay. The location was perfect to explore and walkable to a couple of restaurants and a market. The hosts
This was my second time staying at one of Julie and Jack's beautiful rentals. They are phenomenal hosts. The view here of Coral bay is perfect with a very large patio to take it all in. The studio is everything you need for 2 for your stay. My daughter loved it, along with some of Julie's Chocolate pie. She also loved the couple visits she had with their super friendly dog. This will not be my last stay with them. Thank you again Julie and Jack!
We enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to return to the island. We also rented a jeep from the host making it extremely convenient! It’s located in Coral Bay, quieter side but near great restaurants and Cruz Bay is a short car ride away.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Van Pelt
As 24 year residents of St. John your owners and on-site hosts possess intimate knowledge of beaches, hiking trails and snorkeling. We have our favorite and sometimes secret spots that we will be happy to share with you should you wish. Julie is a business owner and professional chef having operated East West Catering since arriving on St. John in 1999 (Retired on September 1st, 2021), but is exclusively offering Room Service to our Guests (ask for a menu after booking). Jack is a Master Mechanic and maintains all of our rental cars in excellent condition. Both of your hosts previously lived on Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. Julie has traveled extensively throughout Asia, Mexico and Costa Rica and has lived in China and Norway. As a couple we enjoy travel throughout the Caribbean and of course, California where we both grew up. We enjoy good food and great company. We love the natural beauty of St. John, it’s relaxed pace, our tight knit community, and our wonderful island visitors. We are race, religion, and LGBTQ+ friendly. We welcome you to St. John and especially Coral Bay!
“To your health, happiness and prosperity and time enough to enjoy all three”
Julie Van Pelt and Jack Brown
Why they chose this property
Coral Bay has a more laid back and less commercial vibe than Cruz Bay. We have a much slower, “no worries” attitude with locals and tourists alike so take your time, relax and enjoy everything and everyone.
Our place has a fabulous location in the “center” of Coral Bay, but 100 ft above Coral Harbor with 220 degree views.
Our 2 markets are both a 1 minute drive from the property as are several restaurants and shopping.
Head in ANY direction & it’s a short drive to one mind boggling beach after another.
You are also a very short drive to a number of the well-maintained National Park hiking trails.
At the end of the day –Enjoy Julie's Room Service delivered right to your deck for a private romantic dinner or head out to dinner in Coral Bay. Just a 5 minute walk in one direction are Johnny Lime and Salty Mongoose. A 2 minute drive down the road is Rhumblines and the world famous Skinny Leg’s Bar and Grill for the absolutely best burgers in paradise. All of the above have designated parking available. Check these local restaurants for their schedule of live music by local musicians.
