Bucket List Vacation
My husband and I along with our adult son and his girlfriend had an awesome trip to St. John. It has been on my bucket list to visit St. John. Villa Celeste and the amazing view are just as described. The Villa was very clean and had everything one would need. The beds are sooo comfortable and the AC that we only used at night made sleeping a dream. Loved having beach towels, chairs, and a cooler available to use, which we definitely did. The guest guide book in the Villa is really helpful and appreciated. Lois, the property owner, is so personable, helpful and provided a ton of information that we found so useful. We loved Joy, the on island property manager. She is such a great resource and a true treasure. The highlight of the trip for all of us was the snorkeling/sailing adventure we took with Joy and Rob on their beautiful sailboat. Joy's guided snorkeling tour was excellent. She truly is the Mermaid of Coral Bay. Such great memories! Driving on the steep roads of St. John was an adventure in itself. An all-wheel or 4 wheel drive is a must especially if you venture onto the unpaved roads, which we found really fun. Although the driveway is quite steep, you get used to it after driving it a few times. The steep driveway is worth it to stay in such a beautiful villa with an unapparelled view. I would definitely stay at Villa Celeste if we return to St. John. Thank you Lois for sharing such a gem in Coral Bay.
