About this property

Between The Beaches Mango Villa

Between the Beaches of Grootpan Bay and Kiddle Bay lies Mango Villa. Nestled into the hillside overlooking a large saltpond and Grootpan Bay, this villa borders the USVI National Park. Only a 10-minute drive from lively Coral Bay, the only sounds at Mango Villa are birdsong and crashing surf.

Mango Villa is a 3 BR/2 BA single-story private home; there are no shared facilities. It offers flat parking and easy access, and is fully equipped with everything you will need for a relaxed island holiday.
You will be a short distance from VIERS, and the popular beaches at Salt Pond and Lameshur. This is truly St. John Off The Beaten Track.

PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend you rent a vehicle for your stay. There is no Uber service on island. Taxis can be quite expensive and DO NOT frequent Coral Bay side of St John.

Inside, the kitchen and Great Room feature vaulted ceilings with exposed Mahogany beams and a 10ft Mahogany breakfast bar. The kitchen is fully equipped.

The Master Suite, with private bath, is separate from the rest of the house and has a queen bed plus a single bed. (When entering gate, door on your right is master suite and door on left is main house) Each of the bedrooms has a queen bed and every room has sliding doors onto the deck with a view of Grootpan Bay. The deck also has screened in section.

Flamingo Surprise

This Was an incredible opportunity to stay at a wonderful house. The layout is great especially y kids off other couples. The full back deck afforded an expansive view of a salt pond and Kiddel Bay. The salt pond is in the foreground and hosted at least 100 flamingos per day. Mostly in the morning, and some in the evening. It was a wonderful display. The house location is private and serene. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay in St. John.

Peace of Paradise

The Mangos was everything that we hoped for. The location was fantastic. Of all the beaches the ones closest to the property were our favorites. Calm, uncrowded and beautiful with great snorkeling. The view from the deck was amazing. Salt pond, ocean, and unspoiled mountains, you couldn't ask for more. We saw flamingos, herons, a turtle and soldier crabs right from the deck. The area was peaceful and walking distance to a fantastic coble beach. The artistic touches and landscaping put this place as a one of a kind property. We needed to contact the owner at one point and she was prompt and helpful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful special space with us.

Private Cozy Villa

Overall, we absolutely loved staying at the Mango! From beach chairs to a toaster oven to plenty of beach towels - and everything in between - all of our needs were met. Wonderful location close to Grootpan Bay and Salt Pond where we had our favorite snorkeling adventures! The Mango is a great price for a cozy villa located on a private and quiet area of the island. In the mornings we even had a surprise visit from flamingoes, which came as a surprise. One frequent STJ visitor shared with us this is the first time she had heard of flamingoes coming to the island. Simply put, this was a perfect cozy casita for my husband and I - we would absolutely come back in the future!

Great stay at Mango Villa

Property was as described and great location at east end of the island. Communication was great with the owners and we really enjoyed our stay. Salt Pond and Lameshur are both very close and 2 of our favourite beaches.

Lovely stay at Mango

We had a lovely stay at Mango! The view is magnificent and the area is peaceful and serene. We loved having our morning coffee watching the birds and distant beach and were lucky enough to see pink flamingos in the salt pond!

For those who want to get away from both Cruz Bay and even Coral Bay, this is a great spot. Remote yet not isolated. We found the location between the beaches to be just right.

The house is accurate as described with a lot of amenities to make your stay comfortable, including water bottles and a beach bag. It is a walking distance on gravel and down hill to 2 surprising calm and clear water beaches, Kiddle and Grootpan with healthier coral and decent snorkeling in safe neighboorhood. We also visited Salt pond, Waterlemon, Great Lameshur and Maho. Mango is about 2 miles to Coral bay where the Love city market is. Good price for drinks and island prices for others. We ate at Surf club Cantina once, one of the 2 Coral bay restaurants that still open in August. Their burgers are excellent, big thick juicy patties with small brioche buns. Their conch fritters were a joke, all wet dough with small chunk (not chunks) of conch.The kitchen is full of spices and the refrigerator door is full of condiments. Not sure if because of the season or just the location of the house (not too high up), there is no breeze, so we ended up cooked and ate in sweat and could not enjoy the desks or the living room. The house looks directly over of the pond with flamingos seen between the trees. The house could use a good spring cleanning: trim the trees in front of the desks, fix the running toilet so we did'nt have to keep check on it after used, throw away rusted broken folding chair etc... We had 2 power outtage during our 6 days stay. There was no running water and no cell phone when the power out, which was worrisome. These are the reasons for 3 stars.

Wonderful quiet villa with great view

We have stayed here twice and love the quiet and nature. Plenty of space and great view. Walk to two great snorkeling beaches and short ride to others. Clean and well stocked. Layout is great with one bedroom separate from other two. If we get back to at John again we would not stay anywhere else!

A lovely stay

My family and I loved our time at mango villa! We really appreciated the detailed directions to the house and all the tips for the island! We enjoyed yoga on the porch while watching the flamingos, dinners on the screened in deck, movie nights after long days on the beach, and the stock of beach toys and coolers! I would definitely recommend this villa to others! The AC units in each bedroom were lifesavers. I will cherish my time in St. John for life.

Quiet south Coral Bay

This property is located on the far south end of the island. It was a great place to relax and access Coral Bay and Salt pond beach. The house comfortable for our party of 5 adults. We loved being on the screened patio. Great access to the national park.

Beautiful home on amazing island

Mango Villa is a beautiful house located in a very quiet part of the island. The balcony is perched overlooking a salt pond and bay, and so we had all our meals to amazing views. The house is spacious and very well organised so our family of 5 had plenty of room to enjoy our stay. St John has some amazing beaches that are only a short distance away.

Nice place but needs some updates.

Nice place but a with a few updates like blind or curtains that fit the window would help greatly. Just for future occupants the road to the house is not really a road but a rock path which is completely wash out (not the owners fault) but just for full disclosure for others:

Great spot to get away from it all

My wife and I spent 10 nights at Mango Villa and it could not have been better. It's a world away from the bustle of Cruz Bay and exactly what we were looking for. We planned to explore more of the island but ended up spending most of our time snorkeling at Lameshur, Kiddel, and Grootpan as well as hiking to Reef Bay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the master bedroom was cool and comfy, and the screened-in porch had great views and was perfect for meals and readlng. We will definitely be back!

Lovely place

Pros: Quiet, clean, fully equipped, walking distance to good snorkel beaches(Salt pond, Grovepan) and a trail. Cons: Longer drive from other attractions. The owners have provided useful info about the villa, beaches, and car rental and driving directions. Our questions before the trip were quickly answered. We had a heavy storm the first night stay there and power was out. We contacted the owners, who have quickly had the issue resolved.

A quiet private gem!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mango Villa. If you like privacy, quiet and the opportunity to snorkel in two different bays this is the place for you. We were always the only ones snorkeling in Kiddle/Grootpan bays. Many of the other beaches in St John can be quite crowded at times. The long deck with the lovely view of the bays is fantastic. We especially enjoyed having the ceiling fan on the deck. Brianna was responsive and accommodating and so supportive. The place was clean, homey, and well stocked. It is even nicer than the pictures. We were here for work (research) and I can't wait to come back for vacation.

Lovely Home, Wonderful Location

Husband and I stayed at Mango Villa for two weeks, and heavens don't I miss it. Miss the view over Grootpan and the green hills alongside; all the amenities that make it a great beach house (a spacious and comfortably furnished screen porch, a well-equipped kitchen with a fridge that actually keeps things cold, reading lamps next to the bed- and a clothesline!); the snorkeling at Kiddel, Grootpan, Salt Pond and the Lameshurs- all a short walk or drive away; and the breezeway between the main house and the master bedroom, which was a great staging area for our gear. Also, the WiFi works great for those who need to do some work when they travel. And finally, shhh... I think this villa is one of the best bargains on the island!

Great place on a fabulous island!

This was our first trip to St. John, and Mango Villa was a great place to explore from! The house was just as represented, including a very well-equipped kitchen, which we always appreciate. We enjoyed breakfasts on the screened porch every day, grilled something for dinner most evenings, and packed lunches for the cooler (so glad to have that!) when we went out exploring. Some beaches were close enough to be "walk-able" but as senior citizens we chose to drive our rented jeep. There were lots of beaches we didn't get to, and we didn't try any hiking because it was very hot. We could have gotten up early and hiked, but we like to sleep in on vacations! We hope to return to St. John in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Brianna Tallian

Host profile image
We are 3 professional women living in the Midwest, who have been coming to St. John for years. We finally decided that life is short, and it was time to have a place for ourselves and our families to escape the northern winters. We hope it will give you the same pleasure that it gives us.

Why they chose this property

This is not the resort Caribbean. This is a private spot at the end of the road. This is peace and quiet on our favorite island.
