About this property

Peaceful, luxury villa with breathtaking views of Coral Bay and the BVIs

Coral Bay Vista was hand-crafted by award-winning artisans Doug White, who flew to Guatemala to hand-pick the trees to mill for the home, and Dave Carlson, and the home is truly a work of art. It is a gorgeous high-end studio made in the traditional Caribbean style from Guatemalan hardwoods and stone and seashell walls. It has expansive views of Coral Bay and beyond to the British Virgin Islands.

You’ll find the interior decorated with original art. There is also a Pottery Barn queen sleeper sofa that is very comfortable, allowing accommodations for four. The owner lives in a suite below the villa, and is available at a moment’s notice for advice on where to go and what to do.

The kitchen has beautiful mahogany cabinets and granite countertops, and you’ll find everything you need for cooking and fine dining indoors or out. Note that there is a gas cooktop in the kitchen, but no oven. There is also a high end outdoor kitchen. The villa is designed to capture the constant trade winds that cool the house, assuring you’ll be comfortable night and day. Enjoy a tropical drink or glass of wine on the covered deck and dine alfresco on the teak outdoor dining table. There are two chaises and seating on the deck and patio.

The bath has stone and seashell walls and an indoor shower, and you can also enjoy an outdoor shower with the water flowing from a conch shell.
We have all the amenities of home including Roku TV, wireless internet, and an ipod connected sound system, though we think you’ll prefer to listen to the bananaquits and chorus of treefrogs.

The gardens are home to mature banana and guavaberry trees and pineapples. The kitchen garden boasts native herbs including thyme, oregano and rosemary.

The wonderful restaurants and shops of Coral Bay are just 2 minutes down Costanza Road, rt. 108, and you can be at the renowned north shore beach, Maho Bay, or the Annaberg Sugar Mill ruins in just ten minutes.

Beautiful cottage
This exquisite cottage is a treat for the eyes, designed in a beautiful style of outstanding quality. We were fortunate to have had three nights here. We lost our cell service and had some difficulty locating the property; it would help to have the name from the driveway sign listed as the title, as we drove past it several times. It could have been cleaner on our arrival, but it appears to be kept up well in general. Lovely views and furnishings.

In the Hills of Coral Bay
The stay was good. Lindsay was awesome and gave us ideas on where to go, best groceries, made sure we were doing ok and even brought us up some Lobster Tortellini he made. The view is amazing. Def need a Jeep due to steep driveway and roads. Be aware that there is no AC but lots of nice fans and the breeze was great 6/9 days. We had a nice visit here and a loved the locals.

Fantastic view!
This charming villa overlooks Coral Bay, so the sunrises are spectacular. The driveway is steep and there are stairs leading down to the cabin, but this seemed pretty common for most properties on the island. The beaches are a short distance to drive, so a rent car is definitely advised. Our host provided us with beach chairs, a cooler, and anything else we needed for our stay. There were only a couple of places to eat in Coral Bay, but we enjoyed the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. This property was everything we hoped for.

We Love Funky Coral Bay
A nearly perfect combination of smart design, beautiful tropical hardwoods and skilled island stone work make this one of the prettiest places we have stayed. The view across the harbor and all the way to Virgin Gorda doesn’t hurt either. At almost any time of day, you can find a comfortable outside spot to sit and read, either in sun or shade. Internet and cellular reception are good. The place is equipped with all of the basics, in good order. The owner is responsive and helpful and lives below. We spent a very comfortable ten days there. But, if you need air-conditioning, cable TV, washer/dryer, dishwasher and a toaster, this place is not for you. As another reviewer mentioned, access requires negotiating about 30 steps and can be a challenge for those with mobility issues. We would definitely come back and maybe bring our own toaster.

We had the most memorable stay here for our anniversary. The home has such a beautiful setting and the wood and stone work throughout embodies everything Caribbean. The kitchen was well stocked. Kris was easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend this vacation home to others looking for a little slice of Heaven in paradise.

Perfect — and sad to leave
We had an amazing stay. The host was generous and the property was perfect. The apartment was so well-appointed — bright, comfortable and with beautiful views, everything you need. It has easy access to everything and is the perfect place to rewind, morning, noon or night. The pictures capture everything. The host was also very responsive. We will be back.

It was the most beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing stay we have ever had. The hosts were awesome and helped us navigate the island and enhanced our stay in so many ways we could never repay. We wanted to stay on the veranda forever just taking in the magnificent view.

Stunning location, nice cabin, amazing host
We stayed here for a week over Christmas and have nothing but great things to say about both Kris and the cabin. The view from the patio over Coral Bay is beautiful, the location on the more remote eastern side of St John leaves you within easy access to any of a number of beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters and it never feels like you're in a crowded tourist spot, at all. The cabin itself has everything one could need to enjoy themselves, including a nicely sized washroom. The sounds of wildlife and the trade winds at night were incredibly soothing and made you feel like you were sleeping in the jungle. We recommend bringing (or using the Kris-provided!) Mosquito repellent because despite dousing ourselves in it, we still got bit a solid twenty times in a week... Kris was an amazing host and also offered to rent us her SUV for the duration of our stay - an offer we gladly took her up on since we booked on reasonably short notice and didn't want to have to worry about not finding a commercial rental (and a rental car is 100% required on St John!). We would happily return!

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Robinson and Lindsey Powell

Host profile image
Kris and Lindsey have been together for fourteen years, and they are both in love with St. John. We purchased Caribe Breeze in 2015, filmed House Hunters International "St. John Someday", and we just bought Coral Bay Vista and just filmed a Caribbean house hunting show "Beachside with a Cocktail". We love life and live it to the fullest!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this villa 10 years ago, and after several false starts, we finally bought it in 2018. If we had to design our own home, this would be it!
