About this property

Dancing Dolphins ~ Pool + Tesla Solar!

Newly renovated! Sleeps 9, this villa was designed for the perfect friends and family retreat -- enjoy 4 king en-suites, dreamy pool area, outdoor tiki bar, multiple lounge and balcony areas, tropical landscaping, and gorgeous expansive Caribbean views from every bedroom. Tesla solar power installed November 2024!

Located up the green hillsides of the comfortable, and well-established neighborhood of Upper Carolina, villa guests enjoy fully paved roads, easy access, plenty of parking, and privacy gate. Welcome to your own private tropical paradise -- professionally landscaped grounds which include beautiful native flora and numerous tropical fruit plants such as lemon, mango, and plantains.

Dancing Dolphins Villa is just 5 minutes to the quaint village of Coral Bay and just 10 minutes from the first in the string of world-famous beaches within the Virgin Islands National Park along the north shore of St. John.

Near the main house entrance and covered parking, guests can enjoy a lovely 1400 square foot patio with loungers, wet bar, shaded sitting area, gas BBQ grill, and an outdoor table perfect for alfresco dining. After a day of beaching, sightseeing or shopping, the 'tiki bar' invites guests to relax with a cool drink and an occasional dip in the refreshing pool with the dolphin fountain bubbling in the background.

Entering the main level of the villa, guests are greeted by a large family dining table, great room with comfortable seating areas framed by full wall sliding glass doors that open to a full width deck overlooking gorgeous Coral Bay and the Caribbean Sea beyond. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen and an adjacent casual dining area completes the great room.

Bedroom #1 is on the main level, and Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 are on the lower level. All bedrooms have spectacular views, AC, King beds, ensuite bathrooms, smart TV's and direct exterior balcony access.

Access to the lower level is on two sides of the house. One spiral stair case balcony side, and by a partially covered stone walkway between the driveway and main house. A interior gallery on the lower level connects the lower level bedrooms and is equipped with mini wet bar, ice machine, laundry and extra dressing space.

Whether it's a day on a pristine beach, a hike along a National Park trail, or a delicious grilled local meal enjoyed alfresco with an amazing Caribbean backdrop, Dancing Dolphins is one of the privileged few rentals to offer these and numerous other opportunities from an excellent location on St. John. Whether you are a couple looking for a romantic and very private vacation retreat or a large group of family or friends, Dancing Dolphins is the perfect choice for a once in a lifetime vacation experience. Come 'Live the Dream' on St. John at Dancing Dolphins Villa!

Family week retreat at Dancing Dolphins

Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids) had a wonderful week stay at this property. The property manager team was so communicative and helpful. The house is a great location to get down to Coral Bay, east end beaches and the north shore beaches. Thanks for a great stay!

Ahhhhhmazing!

So peaceful! We were a group of 9 ladies who enjoyed every minute of our stay. We had a taxi service scheduled and had zero worries. The house was as seen in the pics- even better! One night we laid down on the warm pavement of the driveway and marveled at the huge sky of stars. Wonderful.

Substantial property with many amenities/obviously very well cared for

I have nothing but good things to say about the property except that I do believe they should have cable instead of the current TV set up I rented property I built in St. John for four years and I realize everyone uses Roku, Netflix, etc. but I was unable to utilize the TV in the bedroom

Beautiful house, beautiful views

The house and the location were exceptional -- beautiful views, easy to get to. We had such a fantastic time. My kids (age 6 and 3) loved the pool, my spouse and I loved the outdoor tiki bar space; beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers were provided; communication with property management was fantastic and they had a nice little welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived. Advice would be to bring plenty of bug repellent for dusk and just be aware that you do have to go outside to get to the lower level where most of the bedrooms are.

Unforgettable

My husband and I travel often to St. John, and our trip in June didn't disappoint. Dancing Dolphins is a beautiful home with a spectacular view in a great location. The villa was clean and well appointed. The bed was very comfy and the AC, TV and wifi all worked well. We spent our time on the various porches and in the pool enjoying the amazing view of Coral Bay. The owners and the local caretakers Joy and Rob couldn't have been any more accommodating and were really a pleasure to meet. We've stayed in many villas on the island, but this place is very special. We can't wait to get back to St. John and Dancing Dolphins soon.

Perfect stay at Dancing Dolphins

Our family of 7 had a perfect stay at Dancing Dolphins. The kids ranging in ages 4-17 all fit nicely in the three bedrooms downstairs while my wife and I stayed in the master suite upstairs. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had all the necessities for preparing any meal. The beach chairs provided were in great condition and made our beach days that much nicer. They even provided basic snorkeling gear. We enjoyed dips in the pool after our daily beach outings. Dancing Dolphins is located within 20 minutes to all the best beaches and close to 20 minutes from Cruz Bay. The view from Dancing Dolphins looking over Coral Bay is spectacular. We were happy to be in Coral Bay vs Cruz Bay because it’s much quieter but still a quick car ride to Cruz for a dinner or two. We are already talking about our return trip to Dancing Dolphins and I’m sure anyone would be more than happy here.

Ultimate honeymoon experience in luxurious villa on the hilltop!

After an incredible wedding we set off on our honeymoon! We saw the views in the pictures but once we arrived it was incomparable! The vaulted ceilings, artwork, amenities, spaciousness and open floor plan gave a very comfortable and easy feeling... that was just the inside... once out by the infinity pool, lounge area and island bar it created a sense of complete and utter privacy and relaxation! The palm trees, flowers and sun made the setting complete! It was more than enough space for us and would be ideal for any group to accommodate! A true experience of a lifetime! The initial hospitality was superb and the keeper of the pool and landscaper that we met were so kind and full of stories and helpful hints on the island! One thing to be cautious of are the mosquitos! Use the tennis racket zappers often! Thank you so much and we will definitely do our best to return!

Great place, great location

Wonderful property. It was clean and well kept. Any issue we had during the stay (issue with door locks and outdoor table) were addressed promptly. The bedrooms all had plenty of space and each had their own en-suite. One of the downstairs bedrooms had just an outdoor shower but it was lovely. The pool is on the smaller side but deep with amazing views. Our 10 and 12 year old still found it fun to play in. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need and there were plenty of towels for everyone, bath and beach. The only real downside was that to reach the 3 downstairs bedrooms, you need to take either the outdoor stairs right off the front entry or the spiral staircase on the back deck so you can’t get downstairs without going outside. This really wasn’t a huge deterrent for our group as our 76 year old father who isn’t great on stairs just took the master bedroom upstairs and we had great weather but it’s worth noting. Great property overall that I would be happy to come back to!

Perfect house for a family / friends get-away!

We choose Dancing Dolphins as home base for a family gathering on St. John to celebrate a 60th birthday and it was just wonderful! The celebration was a total success and this house was a big part of it. The road to the house was better than most on St. John and our two rental Jeeps fit nicely inside the gated driveway making for convenient coming and going. The house has a completely new and on-trend lower level with 3 bedrooms each with a king bed. We only used two of these and each couple had their own bedroom with private bath (Note: one shower is actually outside which we thought was very cool even with the occasional mosquito). The main level has a huge primary suite with lovely views. (Note: the bathroom area for this room is open and while somewhat private, the toilet area has no door). The main level has not been renovated and retains many classic original features like the soaring wood ceilings and panelling. The kitchen was large and had all the right tools. The entire home has a classic St. John feeling and the original stone work gives it a retro feel we loved. We were entertained at morning coffee on the deck overlooking Coral Bay by a flock of yellow Bananaquits and various hummingbirds. Our daily activities included beach time, snorkeling, sailing and hiking and this house is centrally located for visits to the National Park beaches or over in the direction of Salt Pond. Plus the house came with excellent new beach chairs! A small detail which is actually quite important to a comfortable beach experience! After the beach, we enjoyed the pool/ bar area. We'd recommend this house to any family or group of friends looking for an escape to Coral Bay!

Week in Paradise

The property is magnificent inside and out. Each morning, we had breakfast outside and had such a beautiful view of the sea. We went to the beach everyday and would arrive back at the house in the late afternoon and jump into the pool and just relax. I would highly recommend this property. The only issue but minor in nature was that there were no blinds or curtains in the bedrooms. It wasn't a problem for me as I wake up at the crack of dawn. We had a great time and I would definitely book this property again.

We had a terrific time at Dancing Dolphin. The location is excellent if you want to be on the Coral Bay side. Relatively close to the North Shore beaches and the east side beaches like Salt Pond etc. The views are terrific and the house was even nicer than we expected. Perfect for a family of 4-8. Also, the service we received from Tracy and Kelsey was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Dancing Dolphins

This property is beautiful. The house was clean and roomy and had everything we needed to cook on the nights we came from beach. It is 30 minutes from Cruz Bay but the views you get here are phenomenal and you would not get those on beach level. Rob and Joy are extraordinary caretakers for this property. We were very impressed how well the property was maintained! We had issues with dish washer and it was fixed and dishes washed when we got back from beach. The pool is maintained daily so it is ready when we came home from the beach and can enjoy a dip with a beautiful view of Coral Bay. Great place to stay! Denise Howell
