Island Dreams for Sure!!

The property is magnificent!! Nothing can beat the view here. So wish we could have stayed longer. Dave was a breeze to work with from the beginning & even after arriving. Loved getting his suggestions of dining, etc. We only had 3 short days but packed a lot in. My favorite part was just waking up to the glorious view and sipping on my coffee in the mornings. I can see why people want to come back here!! Thanks for letting us enjoy your home🌊🌅😎

Fabulous view, property and host!

The property was very clean, nicely decorated and stocked well in the kitchen and baths. We were met, taken to the property and showed around all areas of the house. Our only hiccup was two power outages, which were island wide. Rob and team were very quick to respond and let us know what was going on. Highly recommend this property and will definitely return!

Beautiful House- killer views!

We loved our stay at the aptly named Island Dreams! The house is lovely and well appointed - beds (kings both) super comfortable. If you're not an early riser (I'm not:-) bring a sleep mask. Lots of beautiful sunlight at dawn. The gardens, outside dining area and pool are magical.

Dreams

Island Dreams is a fantastic villa with great views. We stayed three weeks and had a wonderful time. The villa is clean and a well equipped kitchen. Many local places to eat and Cruz bay is only about 20 mins. Hansen beach is very close and a Jem to go to. The bedrooms are both the same with very nice bathrooms and AC and screens if you prefer a open door at night. The entrance courtyard is beautiful with many plantings which make the property private.

Beautiful

Mt. Olympus views even the gods would have envied. Serene, peaceful. Gorgeous, bright, inviting home inside and out (and clean!). We had everythign we needed for the beach, we had everything we needed in the house. I cooked twice, and I swore I wouldn't cook on vacation! The house is fully stocked and incredibly clean and comfortable. The outside areas (plural, as there are so many distinct sitting areas) are in themselves another outside home, complete with a plunge pool that was so welcoming after a hot day at the beach. While it was necessary to go outdoors and down to the lower level to go to and from the living area on the upper level, we found it preferable and very private. And there's another level of outdoor seating on the lower balcony. The coffee was great. We enjoyed Scrabble. I loved the decor. The sunshine streams in from everywhere. It is a happy, gorgeous place. I can't say enough good things about this house. You almost missed it when you left to go to your outings each day, though it's hard to compete with the beaches of St. John! I was always glad I was going back to your home - our home, for a brief space of time in our lives. I will remember it. Thank you.

Perfect Vacation!

Where to begin about this absolutely stunning property? My husband and I stayed for a week and couldn't have chosen a better house in St John. We had never been, so we were unsure about whether to stay in Cruz Bay or Coral Bay, but we tend to like things quieter when we vacation and this home gave us just that. From the minute we pulled in the drive, we knew it was the right choice. I'll start with the view - it's impossible to put into words, but it will take your breath away. The house was clean, and so very well stocked. I'm unsure if items were left from other renters or if it is always that well stocked, but we never had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies - everything was there and it was enough for us for the entire week. The kitchen had everything we needed. My husband is a chef, so we tend to eat several meals at home when we vacation and we were able to do so very easily. We grilled out several nights and ate under the stars in the most tranquil little dining area outside. The decks were such a cozy spot to curl up and read after a day at the beach or coming back from a hike. We had bad weather the first two days, but the house had so many games, cards and puzzles, we stayed entertained! We loved all the wildlife - goats, donkeys, chickens, deer to name a few in the area. They also kept us entertained! We absolutely loved our time here. The staff, management, owners all so wonderful. The house is perfect! We can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Stunning Views

Last week we rented the Island Dreams property, to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was our 4th visit to St. John, and our first staying in Coral Bay. Also, was the first time ever renting a car, so was extremely happy/impressed, to be met by the caretakers at a nearby spot, and escorted by car to the house. Would have been a challenge in the dark the first time! The property is great, two king master suites, perfect for two couples, as well as a pullout and third bathroom if needed. The outdoor space was large, with a nice pool, and the views are spectacular! House is fully stocked with just about anything you might need, including beach toys, beach chairs and a couple coolers. Caretakers were extremely responsive and the owners were also great to work with! I would highly recommend this property, if you are interested in staying in Coral Bay. Definitely a little bit quieter than the Cruz Bay area, but enough good restaurants, to meet most needs. Highlights in the area, Johnny Lime, great barbecue. Rhumb Lines, slightly more upscale, great food. Lime Out, floating taco bar is a must. Also, we discovered Hansen Bay Beach, which is on the East End, definitely a hidden gem!

Wonderful Views and Location

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Island Dreams. The bedrooms located downstairs worked well for our 2 couples as there is a staircase on either side of the house to allow each couple to access their bedroom without walking in front of the other couple's room. We all prefer not to use the ac and leave the curtains open to enjoy the sunrise so wanted the privacy that the two staircases provided. The outdoor furniture is comfortable but the wind was very strong the week we were there and prevented us from enjoying the front deck as much as we would have liked. The wind was so strong that even the elastic bands to hold the cushions onto the furniture were not sufficient to prevent them from blowing off. On the plus side the breeze made it easy to do without ac and kept the mosquitos away. The location made it a quick drive to pick up food from nearby restaurants to eat at the house and the drive up to the house was one of the easiest we've had. We love the Coral Bay end of the island as it is closer to all the hikes and beaches that we enjoy. Our one complaint is that the only table for eating or playing cards was in the pergola which due to electrical issues did not have sufficient lighting to see the cards. We would have enjoyed having a table positioned to enjoy the view over Coral Bay but in our case the wind would have prevented us from using it for card playing which we tend to do each night. Tim was very responsive when I texted with questions.

An Exquisite Oasis on St John

This vacation on St John for my husband and me as we celebrated 20 years married was made perfect by the beauty and comfort of this exquisite home. Overlooking Coral Bay, with a simple elegance, all the amenities of a fine home, and the unbeatable gorgeous views, we were so happy. Owners and management were wonderful to work with. One caveat is that the property lists a hot tub which is not there. However the beautiful cold dip pool was a joy! Close to beaches and other activities we were completely in bliss.

GOOD Morning, St. John

From Island Dreams, the views of Coral Bay and surrounding mountains are simply jaw dropping. But not just from the outside balcony -- from every room. The villa uniquely orients all its main rooms to the Coral Bay views, including the bedrooms, which are reached by an exterior stair. It's clean, comfortable and well-appointed with everything you need. Sure, this is mountainous St. John and the drive up to the villa has a couple of harrowing portions, but I admit I’m a Midwest driver who rarely even drives on hilly roads. But by the end of my first week, I was driving our 4 x 4 Jeep, windows down, with calm confidence, happily greeting the wild goats and donkeys who stand alongside, and sometimes square on, the narrow roads. The location of Coral Bay puts you in proximity to many gorgeous beaches and destinations, like Salt Pond Bay and the Ram’s Head hike, the secluded Little Lameshur Beach for superb snorkeling, and Miss Lucy’s for a delightful lunch right on the water. Rhumb Lines, only a 5-minute drive, was a delicious and lovely destination for dinner. At Island Dreams, wake up just before sunrise to experience the life-altering moment of the sun entering Coral Bay while the roosters crow in the distance. Thank you for making my vacation dreams come true!

Amazing Views and Great Villa

The property was better than the pics and the kitchen was one of the best stocked we’ve ever encountered. Furthermore, the access to the house was great. A lot of the roads in coral bay are pretty rough, but getting to and from this house was a breeze. I would stay in this home again should we find ourselves on St. John.

Island Dreams review

The property was all it appeared to be - beautiful and all amenities provided above and beyond my expectations. Beautifully decorated. Our first visit to St. John so roads were a bit scary to navigate. Parking right outside the villa was not easy to navigate when departing the property. Views were spectacular. While in the villa, no complaints at all - very comfortable.

Your dream came true

Have you dreamed about a gorgeous view in a beautiful house on a hill? Well, your dream just came true. This property is beautiful. The decor and amenities are exactly what you see in the pictures. What you don’t see are all the little extras. The kitchen has everything you need to cook everything from a quick breakfast to a full dinner. The bbq works perfectly, gas tanks full. Don’t worry about bringing any games in case of a rainy day. This house has more than mine. If you forget something, it’s probably there. Tip: bring some ziplocks for any leftovers you have from a restaurant or to make sandwiches for the beach. There’s a big cooler to pack all you need. Load up the car with the provided beach gear( for 4). You will think you’ll never find the house, but someone will meet you to take the first time. It’s easier every time you come home. The hosts are amazing for communicating if you have any questions. There are some”friends on property(goats and a rather large Iguana). At the bottom of the hill turn right to some a great restaurants and a well supplied grocery store. They even have vegan and gluten free options. Johnny Lime has an great chef and some really good BBQ! Turn left to drop off your trash daily when you go adventure. Coral Bay is magnificent and easy. Cruz bay(where the ferry docks) has a bit more action if that’s what you’re looking for. If you’re looking to just relax, sleep in a luxurious bed, shower while looking at the sea, look no more.Stay here!

Virgin Islands Vacation

I would like to say first the home is decorated very nicely & the owner responded quickly to our concerns! He made every effort for us to feel comfortable! Unfortunately, we had a few hiccups that made the first two evenings stressful. Upon arriving we realized both bedrooms were downstairs with exterior access only. I take responsibility for not catching that prior to renting. When seeing that the master bedroom had no interior lock we chose to stay in the other downstairs bedroom to feel more secure. We were not comfortable staying in a room that could not lock from the inside while sleeping. Upon expressing our concerns, the owner did have an interior lock installed the next day. Also at check-in there were two other doors that were initially hard to lock. On day two, we came in after a great hike and beach day to find the air conditioner not working in the downstairs bedroom we were staying in. Thankfully, we were informed that an interior lock had been installed in the master bedroom. We moved all our things to the master bedroom after someone inspected the air conditioner to determine it was broken. Unfortunately, it made for a long stressful evening.

A slice of paradise

Our stay at Island Dreams Villa was nothing short of exceptional. Communication with the hosts and the on-island managers was seamless and the property was just as beautiful, if not more so, as it was in the pictures. The villa's cleaning was pristine, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the living spaces were tastefully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. There were several outdoor seating areas, some covered, some uncovered, some sheltered from the winds, and some that were exposed to the sea breeze. I really appreciated the thought put into designing the outdoor space at Island Dreams. The pool (and its beautiful view), as well as the powerful a/c throughout rounded out the villa. The location was great. For those that are familiar with the area, it is about a 5 minute drive from the pink corner. The vantage point high up on the hill made for some truly stunning views. Waking up each morning to the sight of Coral Bay was an experience in itself. In summary, Island Dreams Villa was a paradise on earth. From its location, comfort, A/C, pool, and beautiful outdoor areas, it ticked every box for a perfect St J vacation. I can't recommend this property enough and I hope we get the chance to visit again soon!"

Million dollar view!

Island Dreams is a stunning property that we enjoyed this past week. It is nestled into the mountainside allowing shading to some parts of the outside sitting areas during the day and sun/pool time whenever we got ready. The VIEW is stellar. The location to everything in Coral Bay was perfect. So much thought was put into every detail of this beautiful home for travelers to feel welcomed and relaxed. The guest book had many experiences of other travelers and all felt as we did, that they were home. Thank you for opening it up to be enjoyed by so many year after year.

Comfort in Paradise

If your looking for a relaxing spot in Coral Bay, Island Dreams should definitely be on your list! The views from either deck are absolutely stunning, and you’ll immediately feel at home in this comfy stay. All of the items that we could have needed were available at the house, and most of the Coral Bay shops and restaurants were just a short drive away. We are already “island dreaming” about returning to this amazing home.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Bagshaw & David Lancaster

Hi Everyone! From Beautiful Cape Cod to Spectacular Coral Bay, we have built a life where we enjoy some of the most beautiful places, and we are thrilled to be able to share them with you. Island Dreams 2.0 is a dream come true for us. We bought the house in April of 2022 and have worked very hard upgrading virtually all elements of the property: Landscaping, amenities, linens, beachwares, beds, kitchen outfitting. You name it! We have even replaced all of the glass sliders and upgraded all towels with YOU in mind! We really hope you enjoy your time at Island Dreams 2.0

Why they chose this property

We love Coral Bay for the calm this part of the island provides. We get to know our neighbors, are regulars at the restaurants, and with that view...it had everything we wanted! Peace, quiet, and as we slide into our retirement years (cross the fingers) it will be more and more our happy place!

What makes this property unique

One of the best features of this villa is being to escape from it all. You truly feel like you have your own private piece of paradise. From enjoying the sun rising over Coral bay with a cup a coffee, to watching boats sailing the famed Sir Francis Drake channel, or simply curling up with a good read, this is a spot that where you can truly escape; reconnect and find renewal.
