St. John Johnson Bay Hotels

"The home was beautiful & clean. Breathtaking views from all the porches & rooftop. Beautiful gardens & artwork inside & out. Emily was available to help with questions or anything we needed during our stay."

"We were a group of friends traveling together so each of us having out own space and level of the house was very comfortable. The view is AMAZING!! I could have spent the entire week sitting on the veranda or by the pool and gone home rejuvenated. We did venture out and explore the island but each morning and each evening dining outside with the frogs "chirping" was such a blessing.The house is very well designed and is perfectly set up for groups and families. We used the beach chairs, and I loved the microfiber towels. I order some for my home. Splendid retreat on a beautiful island. Extremely grateful, Nina"

"We had a fantastic stay! Kelsey checked in with us the day before arrival for a smooth check in. The house was clean and beds comfy. There were beach chairs and backpack coolers which were nice for the beaches with a hike. And we spent a lot of time on the patio area. Great breeze and views! Would definitely stay here again!!"

"Very nice kitchen and bedrooms. The driveway was interesting, but the view was fabulous. You are not far from the grocery stores in Coral Bay. Hanson beach on the east end is not far, and Salt Pond just beyond Coral Bay is not far. The only draw back to the house were the goats and the bed mattresses which needed to be replaced. We had a great stay and Paul was a great host."

"The Host was very responsive to our needs. He kept the generator running with the several day power outage the whole island experienced. We appreciated how much effort he put in to make sure our AC kept running so we could sleep at night. The only bummer was that the hot tub did not work for our stay. We would stay here again. "

"I stayed here for a week. I never once saw anyone that I was certain worked directly for the property. The office was closed at all times. I had to get the WiFi password from the restaurant staff. Before I arrived, I got a text that said my cabin would be left unlocked. Before I left, I got a text telling me to leave the cabin unlocked. I honestly have no idea if anyone knew I was there. The shower is a garden hose. Literally. One night it rained. Hard. I ran out of bowls, and had to change beds because it was dripping on my face. I would have complained, but TO WHO? Gains one star for the amazing view."

"My second stay at Pura Vida was much like the first, fantastic. Friendly, responsive and helpful staff. Good view, nice decks and stocked with everything needed for preparing meals and going to the beach. Working generator and extra tank in case power went out, in order to run water pump and power electronics or refrigerator. I'll be back."

"This was my first time staying on the coral Bay side of the island. It is absolutely wonderful on that side of the island. The house worked out great for our work trip. I think my only complaint is the master bathroom toilet and maybe some of the screens need to be repaired. Kitchen with well stocked. Overall, a wonderful experience."

"Just spent 1 week at Waterlemon Villa, 2 adults 2 kids 2 grandparents. Overall we had a very nice stay. The view is phenomenal and the screened porch was so nice to have and a unique feature of this property. The kids enjoyed the pool which is small but pleasant. Kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and we made several dinners at home without any issues. Bedrooms were comfortable with well functioning AC. We liked the outdoor showers. Communication with owners and property managers was good and listing is accurate. Condition of villa I would say is good but mildly worn, about what I would expect at this price. It was clean. The furniture was comfortable and good condition. We had a minor plumbing issue which they offered to have come fixed but I didn't want workers in the house for a day or two while we were there. The stairs are a bit steep, the bunks are upstairs so if you have little kids you'd probably want some kind of baby gate. The main point I would make for those considering is that the drive way is NOT a joke. It requires one very confident driver in your party and as others have noted, a lot of courage the first few times. We did not feel excited about doing this in the dark so we didn't stay out past sunset. I'm sure once you've done it a bunch of times it becomes more 2nd nature but we were just feeling more comfortable by end of week. If you want a glorious view and don't mind an adventurous driveway this is a good value. "
