Om boendet

Privat villa med utsikt över hjärtat av Coral Bay med pool-perfekt för par

År 1985 seglade en kille och hans fru till Coral Bay och njöt av en utökad smekmånad som varade i femton år. Under den tiden föddes och drogs två döttrar på sin segelbåt. Så småningom blev öns skön tvungen att bygga ett hem i Coral Bay, VISTAS SUPREME. Snabba framåt tjugofem år när mina döttrar och jag själv konstruerade och fysiskt byggde en drömvilla med hjälp av vår stora levande upplevelse här på ön.

Vår största konstruktion oroa mot Karibiens orkan säsonger. Av den anledningen är hela konstruktionen byggd med hällbetong inklusive däck och tak. Vår familj stannade på Harbour Master i 2017 för orkanerna Irma och Maria. Hon är en fästning och hållit oss bekväma, säkra och relativt lugna under stormen. HARBOUR MASTER är stark men har värmen i Karibien. Turkosfärgad T & G Cypern täcker det 16-fots välvda taket. Klinkergolv och familjekonstverk pryder väggarna. Och mycket nautiska tillbehör, både inifrån och ut, är oväntade gåvor från Irma och Maria. Hurricane reglaget 8'x16 'framför och 8'x12' vid poolen erbjuder panoramautsikt över Coral Bay från var som helst i Great Room och coola vindvindar!

HARBOUR MASTER förkroppsligar de bästa kriterierna för en drömsemester och erbjuder ett lugnt tillflyktsort med privat grindåtkomst. Det ligger strategiskt ovanför Coral Bay, vilket ger en fullständig utsikt över yachter som kommer in och lämnar hamnen, väldigt mycket som den utsikt som en harbormaster skulle ha. Panoramaen bortom omfattar orkanhål, East End, Sir Francis Drake Channel och delar av BVI. Tre hundra meter nedanför våra lokala bybor ligger inbäddat längs hamnen. Flera restauranger med levande underhållning pricker vår hamn. Stränder och vandringar ligger inom 15 minuter från hotellet. Det finns en lokal mataffär, bar och stranduthyrning, en minuts bilresa nerför backen. Friska lokala ekologiska gröna kan köpas precis runt hörnet på Josephine.

Vår bergiga terräng behöver bygga bostäder med flera nivåer, vilket är perfekt för bergsgetter. Men bostadsområdet HARBOR MASTER är en nivå, det stora rummet och kök, sovrum, utomhusbadrum, pool och nästan 800 kvadratmeter kaklade däck. Varje sovrum har egna AC-enheter, byråer, läslampor och en garderob. Du kan njuta av de fantastiska soluppgångarna från din säng genom två pittoreska fönster.

Vår pool är rymlig och djup, 6 meter djup, vilket kan vara ett problem för icke-simmare, unga eller gamla. Men bänksätet inom är perfekt för cocktails på Happy Hour och poolflottor gör att du kan koppla av i djupet. En utomhusdusch kan du njuta av den tropiska landskapsplaneringen medan du höra banan slutar och kolibrier i trädgården. Stackade stenar liknar de historiska ruinerna genom St. John och ge en unik smak till trädgården, som huser 13 olika typer av palmer. Poolen är omgiven av denna lummiga trädgård, vilket ger dig en bekväm känsla av integritet. Det finns 3 solstolar för sol och stolar med bord för avkoppling på pooldäcket.

Köket är rymligt och utrustat för seriösa kockar, som kommer att njuta av matlagning med utsikt och de marmorösa öarna sitter sex bekvämt. Vårt skräddarsydda matbord från återvunnet teakskräp, rymmer inte bara sex plus, det är perfekt för den kvällens kortspel. Vi har WiFi och en 55 "TV med Netflix. En sektionsbänk inbjuder att njuta av TV-underhållning eller den vackra utsikten genom skjutreglagen. Och för de ovälkomna strömavbrott har vi en generator.

De som bor på vår villa kommer att träffas i Cruz Bay av en av våra leende ansikten vid ankomst och eskorteras till HARBOUR MASTER den första dagen. Världen blir din ostron.

Wonderful getaway!

This was our second visit to Harbor Master and we had a great time once again. The view is fantastic! Loved relaxing on the porch and pool area. The location in Coral Bay is perfect as we enjoy the quieter side of the island. We really appreciate the thoughtful use of extra items such as beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler. The host was easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

Perfect Vacation

The view is second to none and the property was absolutely perfect for a family of four with two young kids. Jane and Brian were very communicative leading up to the trip and made the arrival very easy and welcoming. Coral Bay is incredibly relaxing and Harbor Master was the perfect location to enjoy it. We will be coming back to Harbor Master on our next trip to St. John.

Great Stay at Harbor Master

Family and I stayed for 5 nights at Harbor Master and would definitely return. Very convenient to "downtown" Coral Bay and seemed to be a very central location for exploring the island. Jane was a fantastic host as well, who gave us an introduction to the property and was available by text/phone if needed. 5 Stars

Amazing Place

This place is just beautiful! I have stayed at a number of vacation rentals, and the actual house has never looked or been as clean as it looks in the pictures. In this instance, the pictures didn’t actually do the house justice. We were very comfortable during our stay. The house had everything that we needed. The pool was great, and we used it very often. Jane was amazing. She was extremely flexible with us when our travel plans changed due to canceled flights. She also accommodated our late arrival on the day that we actually did arrive. We did rent out the apartment, and it was very nice. If you were staying with a number of family members, I highly recommend adding on the apartment. We will definitely be staying at this house again!

Honeymoon in heaven!

My husband and I stayed here for the first half of our honeymoon and I'm so glad we did!! Jane was amazing- great communication, kind, extremely helpful with navigation and showing us the way to the property, and gave great recommendations for restaurants & beaches. This was our first visit to St. John and she helped make it relaxing and stress-free. The views from the deck were breathtaking, we really enjoyed taking in the views every morning and night swims in the pool! The outdoor bathroom was quite unique as well. We really appreciated all the gear & supplies that were provided as well, we used the snorkel gear every day and got to see our first sea turtle! Harbor Master is one of a kind and we cannot wait to return in the future!

Perfect in every way!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Harbor Master! Jane and Brian were amazing hosts, graciously helping us reschedule our stay after flight cancellations and making us feel at home once we arrived. The house itself was perfect for our family of 4. As beautiful as the view is in the photos, it’s even better in person. The kids loved cooling off in the pool after a long day at the beach, and we loved having all the kitchen supplies we needed to prepare food. We also loved flipping through the photo books and learning about how the property was built. All in all, it was a wonderful trip and I can’t recommend Harbor Master enough. Thank you Jane and Brian!

Perfect place to stay in Coral Bay

Convenient location in Coral Bay for trips to beaches on the east side of the island. Harbor Master is clean, comfortable and quiet. Surrounded by beautiful foliage, it feels secluded yet it’s situated only minutes away from markets and great places to eat. Jane is a great host who has thought of just about everything.

Excellent property

My wife and I had a great time during our stay. Easy to access location with an easy drive to all the beaches with markets and good restaurants just down the hill. The view of Coral Bay is perfect! We never had to use 4wd to get up the drive. Part of it is paved and part is gravel. Once to the steepest part near the house it is concrete with a nice security gate. The house is furnished nicely with all the necessities and everything was very clean. It is evident the owners have put pride into this property with all the small touches. Jane was very friendly and got us checked in quickly. The a/c in the bedroom at night and cool pool water was extremely welcoming as it was very hot and humid while we were visiting. We just got used to sweating when not in water but that’s part of the tropical vibe. Since nothing is “perfect” the only small complaint I would have (and nothing to do with the property) is the smelly trash dumpsters on the main road by the bay we had to drive by every day to get to and from the house. Since there is no local trash pickup all trash gets thrown in dumpsters on the road by residents and guests. Unfortunately, out of all the dumpsters we passed on the island the ones in coral bay are very foul. However, this CAN NOT be seen or smelled at the house as it is a half a mile or so away. It just wasn’t fun to drive by. Haha If we come back I’d definitely see if this property was available as it was a great experience!

Total Bliss

5/8/24 5/18/24 Harbor Master was perfect in every way. We loved every second of our stay. Jane was a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make our trip the best ever. You can tell there was a lot of family love when they built Harbor Master. We have traveled to many places, but never have we spent 10 days without one second of stress. Harbor Master has everything you need. We saw every sunrise and every sunset. We loved getting in the pool after the day at the beach. The landscaping around the home is beautiful. It was fun to see all the treasures throughout the property. Everyday we would discover something new. We ate out a lot, but did cook a great meal on the grill. We bought fresh fish from Calabash Mkt. The man was so nice and he seasoned the fish for us and told exactly how to cook it. It was amazing. We ate at Skinny Legs more than we should have. Had a good meal at Jonny Lime in Coral Bay. Went to Cruz Bay and had nice meals at Longboard, La Tapas and Dave and Jerry’s. Went to Ms. Lucy’s twice for open mic and had a blast. Loved all the beach’s. Our favorite was Cinnamon. They have a nice breakfast at the Rain tree cafe at Cinnamon. We are already planning our trip to Harbor Master in 2025.

We loved staying at Harbor Master

My wife and I stayed a week at Harbor Master for a week on our first visit to the wonderful island of St. John. Harbor Master was absolutely everything we had hoped it would be. The spacious brick deck and pool area features incredible long views of Coral Bay and the eastern end of St. John with the British Virgin Islands off in the distance The property is meticulously maintained inside and out by its local owners, Jane and Brian. They both genuinely care about their guests and made sure we safely and efficiently made our way to the villa upon our arrival in Cruz Bay. They take great pride in this property that they built themselves and it really shows. Everything about it was perfect.

Perfect Family Vacation in St. John

Everything was great at our stay in Harbormaster. Jane kept in contact with us on our arrival day and even after a 7hr delay in arrival, Brian still met us late at night to guide us up to the villa. Kitchen was well stocked, and everything was in great shape. Ton of thoughtful touches that made the trip easier, high quality cooler backpack, ice packs. grocery bags, clothes pins, and even yoga mats, games, and a ton of helpful info in a well organized binder. The location is great for a laid back trip. So easy to pop down to coral Bay to grab groceries or dinner, and a great launching spot to explore the island. Super easy to get to the east end and Salt Pond, as well as the more popular spots along the north shore. There wasn't a time on our trip where I felt like I didn't have everything I needed and a lot of that was due to staying at such a perfect and well maintained spot.

Harbor Master IS as amazing as it looks!

If you're wondering if Harbor Master is as it appears, we can 100% assure you it's actually even better. The attention to detail at this property, from the amenities to the decor, is truly unmatched. The property managers were so helpful ahead of our stay and were a great resource once we were there. I cannot think of another thing that would have made it better. The home has everything you need for it to feel like your home AND all the things you need for the perfect day at the beach too. Everyone who has seen photos of our trip have been in awe of the view, and it as amazing as it looks too! You won't be able to stop taking photos of Coral Bay. I had looked at tons of rentals before deciding. We dream of returning someday!! If you're considering booking Harbor Master, do it! You will be so glad you did! :)

What a view

Wanted for nothing but to stay longer. Needed a quick week away from the cold and this was perfect. From the first communication with Jane and Brian to the last text everything was wonderful. Views from every room and deck even better than the pictures. Ventured around the island a few days and stayed here a few days cooking in and grilling out, chilling in the pool, sitting on the deck and just unwinding. Love this side of the island after staying a few time on the Cruz Bay side we have now been swayed over to the Coral Bay side and this rental was part of that reason. We will return again and stay here. Thank you both for being such great hosts, hope to see you in a few years.

Staying at Harbor Master gave us the most incredible home base for an amazing honeymoon. It was the best to be able to come back after being at the beach and relax on the patio, while enjoying the beautiful views. The house is so thoughtfully done and had everything we needed.

Om värden

The Conrads är värd

Värdens profilbild
Tom and Dee Conrad left Michigan on their honeymoon in 1982. After exploration of the eastern seaboard and the Bahamas, they arrived on St. John in April of 1985, and fell in love with the island and its community. Shortly after, my sister (Carrie) and I (Jane) were born Virgin Islanders. We spent our early childhood living aboard Encounter in Coral Bay. In 1990, we purchased land in Coral Bay, built our home, and moved ashore.
The time came when we needed to move stateside for school (St. Augustine, FL). Once my sister and I were attending college, my parents returned to St. John. I joined them in 2011 and within 3 years of being home we, as a family, invested in land and began to build a rental villa. The only way to afford this dream was to do it ourselves. My 72-year-old father, sister and I handled the physical labor, while Mom kept the books in order. We finished our villa just before the devastating Hurricane Irma and Maria were to sweep through the islands in 2017. Harbor Master was a fortress for us, built entirely out of concrete. She withstood the test and kept our family safe during the storms. HM has been on the short rental market for 3 full seasons. My family and I love St. John and our community. We look forward to sharing the rich culture of the ancestral natives, our knowledge and our home with visitors.

Varför värden valde detta boende

To understand why this property, it's important to look at why we chose St. John. St. John holds a special place in our hearts. The island is the true embodiment of natural beauty. In 1956 Laurance S. Rockefeller donated land to the Department of the Interior, roughly two thirds of the island remains untouched within National Park Boundaries. St. John has maintained its beauty and serenity. The island has much to offer from its rich cultural heritage, sunbathing on the pristine white beaches, hiking down tropical forest guts and up lush mountain tops, snorkeling coral reefs, sailing in the trades, fishing the drop, diving, to sight-seeing the historical sugar mill ruins.
"We're All Here ‘Cause We're Not All There," is a common bumper sticker on island. We enjoy taking it back from societal norms and living in true "island time." You can't beat the trade-winds drifting through our open homes. I wouldn't trade that fresh, clean breeze for anything. Coral Bay is located where the trades blow in and the sunrises never get old. It is a playground for boaters and snorkelers encompassing nearly half of the island. Harbor Master stands vigilant over the entire area where life is even slower than the bustle of Cruz Bay.
Four years ago, my Dad presented a business proposition to buy property together and build a house. My sister and I have been raised with the attitude that we can do anything if we try and work hard. We agreed to Dad's proposition and began doing just that. This property won our hearts with the view and location to the village of Coral Bay. We are 250’ above sea level, just high enough to feel the trade-winds, but close enough to the village to hear live music drift up the mountainside from restaurants below. Our view resembles a harbor master's looking over the entire harbor. We can see into the hurricane holes, out to east end, and into the BVI islands. Coffee on the deck at sunrise is something you don't want to miss.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We built Harbor Master as a family. Our own blood, sweat, and tears went into every stage of the building process. We built her strong to withstand hurricane seasons, while incorporating warm finish work. Our walls are adorned with custom watercolors by my sister Carrie (VeryCarrieArt.com), close friend Karin Harris and paintings from local artist, Elaine Estern. All of our art work is framed in my Dad's handmade driftwood frames.
St. John is located on latitude 18 where the trade winds are frequent and the sun is almost always shining. Harbor Master is built to accommodate the natural beauty of the island. We have large windows in the bedrooms, hurricane pane sliders spanning 12’ on the pool deck side and 16’ in the front overlooking all Coral Bay. Not only does this offer beautiful natural lighting, a panoramic view of the mountains, the harbor, and the islands in the distance, but also welcomes the cool trade wind breezes. We value outdoor living; therefore, we have plenty of deck for entertaining.
St. John is a very mountainous terrain, full of bedrock, which makes gardening a challenge. We took to the traditional ways of terracing our hillside to allow the tropical flora to grow. Landscaping is one of our passions and we have strived to incorporate as many different palms (13) and tropical flora as possible.
From the deck, you can watch as the sailboats come and go throughout the Harbor. Even if you’re not a morning person, you may find yourself rising for the beautiful sunrises.
