About this property

Desert Rose Villa, with Fabulous Coral Harbor views

Drive up Seagrape Hill to Desert Rose which offers an excellent parking platform for 2 cars. Low rise steps lead gently down to an open Caribbean style Greatroom. Desert Rose has been newly repainted with a fresh classic look and warm feel. Enjoy the cooling, gentle tropical breezes all day and night. Beautiful views of Coral Bay, Moravian Church and Bordeaux Mountain. Enjoy cooking in our gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and new stainless steel appliances and a comfortable island to eat at. The Great Room with its vaulted ceiling and ceiling fans is perfect to read, listen to music, watch T.V. or do nothing at all. The lower Bedroom with new king bed furnishings opens onto the spacious covered deck and a Spiral Staircase leads to the upper Bedroom with new king bed and furnishings that has a Balcony that looks over the Moravian Church and out to Coral Bay. Both Bedrooms have large lit closets with sliding doors that are mirrored. The Bathrooms both have ceramic title murals in the showers and glass block partitions.
Take a dip in your private pool to cool down after a day at the Beach. Enjoy the large sundeck and a convenient outdoor bathroom. Sunshine all day and a covered veranda gets you out of the sun and cool off with the ceiling fans. Watch the Moon come over the Pool and the brilliant Stars dancing in the sky while sipping a Caribbean Cocktail. In the morning sit on the deck with your Breakfast and Coffee and watch the Hummingbirds and Yellow Birds greet the new day.
Desert Rose Villa is beautiful and spacious for easy living in Paradise. A great place to relax, swim and soak in the warm sunshine and watch the world go by. Only a 15 minute Drive to the most Beautiful Beaches in the World! Villa has back up power in case of an outage.

Beautiful area in island

This villa is a good choice for four people but the bedrooms are on top of one another and you can hear the others talking. The other thing I did not like was the spiral staircase. Things we liked were the following: The pool and outdoor space The very responsive host The light decor The large kitchen The views of Coral Bay It is a beautiful home.

Wonderful Spot

The property has everything you need for a wonderful stay in quiet Coral Bay. Tammy and her staff were wonderful to work with and very attentive. Coral Bay is beautiful and a nice quiet place on the island but nearby many different beaches. Can't wait to go back.

Desert Rose is a true gem!

We were 2 couples with 20+ years of visiting STJ. We prefer Coral Bay where we have friends and the slower pace. Desert Rose was perfect for us; great location, well-provisioned kitchen, comfortable beds, and great inside and outdoor space to enjoy. We enjoyed morning coffee on the covered porch overlooking Coral Bay and planning our day. The pool was great after returning from daytime adventures on the beach or on the water. Tammy was so wonderful in providing some new beach chairs for us when needed. The villa overall had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. Highly recommended...I just hope it'll be available for our next visit! Thank you, we'll be back!

Desert Rose in Coral Bay is a gem.

We have stayed many times in St John and Desert Rose did not disappoint. The house was perfect for our needs and well-equipped with everything we would want or expected. The location on Sea Grape Hill is ideal for activities in Coral Bay and for getting to the North Shore Beaches. The kitchen was more than fully stocked, and the air conditioning worked great when needed. The house had plenty of beach chairs, towels, and coolers to use. Loved watching Coral Bay in the mornings and drinking coffee. Seeing donkeys, goats, iguanas, and birds is always an enjoyment for us. The beds were comfortable and the house came with more than enough supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry pods, etc.). Overall a fantastic vacation at Desert Rose and St John. Minor things but nothing that takes away from the house or the vacation experience... The pool was good for a refreshing dip but it was a bit small for more than that. There were 2 lounge chairs by the pool but ideally, there should be a few more to accommodate 3-4 guests.

Perfect and quiet house for a relaxing Saint John vacation

My family and I rented this house for a week in Coral Bay and we loved staying at this house. I wish we were still there! It’s in a quiet location, overlooking the bay and it’s private. We loved the private outdoor pool which we used a lot in the evenings. We cooked a lot since food was so expensive on the island and the house had anything you could possibly need. I loved waking up early and sitting on the covered porch underneath the fans and watching the “wildlife” from afar (goats, donkeys and iguanas). On Sunday mornings, you can hear the church service out on the patio, which was lovely to hear the singing. On Saturday nights you can hear the band at skinny legs on the outdoor patio but not inside the house. That was also a really awesome perk. It’s a peaceful spot and I would absolutely book this house again.

Great vacation!

The house was clean, in a great location, management was responsive and easy to deal with, and met us at the rental car location so we could follow them to the house. This was a great vacation and we would stay here again!
