About this property

Between the Beaches of Grootpan Bay and Kiddle Bay lies Mango Villa. Nestled into the hillside overlooking a large saltpond and Grootpan Bay, this villa borders the USVI National Park. Only a 10-minute drive from lively Coral Bay, the only sounds at Mango Villa are birdsong and crashing surf.

Mango Villa is a 3 BR/2 BA single-story private home; there are no shared facilities. It offers flat parking and easy access, and is fully equipped with everything you will need for a relaxed island holiday.
You will be a short distance from VIERS, and the popular beaches at Salt Pond and Lameshur. This is truly St. John Off The Beaten Track.

Inside, the kitchen and Great Room feature vaulted ceilings with exposed Mahogany beams and a 10ft Mahogany breakfast bar. The kitchen is fully equipped.

The Master Suite, with private bath, is separate from the rest of the house and has a queen bed plus a single bed. (When entering gate, door on your right is master suite and door on left is main house) Each of the bedrooms has a queen bed and every room has sliding doors onto the deck with a view of Grootpan Bay. The deck also has screened in section.

Private Cozy Villa

Overall, we absolutely loved staying at the Mango! From beach chairs to a toaster oven to plenty of beach towels - and everything in between - all of our needs were met. Wonderful location close to Grootpan Bay and Salt Pond where we had our favorite snorkeling adventures! The Mango is a great price for a cozy villa located on a private and quiet area of the island. In the mornings we even had a surprise visit from flamingoes, which came as a surprise. One frequent STJ visitor shared with us this is the first time she had heard of flamingoes coming to the island. Simply put, this was a perfect cozy casita for my husband and I - we would absolutely come back in the future!

Great stay at Mango Villa

Property was as described and great location at east end of the island. Communication was great with the owners and we really enjoyed our stay. Salt Pond and Lameshur are both very close and 2 of our favourite beaches.

A lovely stay

My family and I loved our time at mango villa! We really appreciated the detailed directions to the house and all the tips for the island! We enjoyed yoga on the porch while watching the flamingos, dinners on the screened in deck, movie nights after long days on the beach, and the stock of beach toys and coolers! I would definitely recommend this villa to others! The AC units in each bedroom were lifesavers. I will cherish my time in St. John for life.

Nice place but needs some updates.

Nice place but a with a few updates like blind or curtains that fit the window would help greatly. Just for future occupants the road to the house is not really a road but a rock path which is completely wash out (not the owners fault) but just for full disclosure for others:

Lovely stay at Mango

We had a lovely stay at Mango! The view is magnificent and the area is peaceful and serene. We loved having our morning coffee watching the birds and distant beach and were lucky enough to see pink flamingos in the salt pond!

Wonderful quiet villa with great view

We have stayed here twice and love the quiet and nature. Plenty of space and great view. Walk to two great snorkeling beaches and short ride to others. Clean and well stocked. Layout is great with one bedroom separate from other two. If we get back to at John again we would not stay anywhere else!

Quiet south Coral Bay

This property is located on the far south end of the island. It was a great place to relax and access Coral Bay and Salt pond beach. The house comfortable for our party of 5 adults. We loved being on the screened patio. Great access to the national park.

Great place on a fabulous island!

This was our first trip to St. John, and Mango Villa was a great place to explore from! The house was just as represented, including a very well-equipped kitchen, which we always appreciate. We enjoyed breakfasts on the screened porch every day, grilled something for dinner most evenings, and packed lunches for the cooler (so glad to have that!) when we went out exploring. Some beaches were close enough to be "walk-able" but as senior citizens we chose to drive our rented jeep. There were lots of beaches we didn't get to, and we didn't try any hiking because it was very hot. We could have gotten up early and hiked, but we like to sleep in on vacations! We hope to return to St. John in the future!

Lovely place

Pros: Quiet, clean, fully equipped, walking distance to good snorkel beaches(Salt pond, Grovepan) and a trail. Cons: Longer drive from other attractions. The owners have provided useful info about the villa, beaches, and car rental and driving directions. Our questions before the trip were quickly answered. We had a heavy storm the first night stay there and power was out. We contacted the owners, who have quickly had the issue resolved.

St John Escape

Super cool off the beaten path home. Beautiful view of Grootpan Bay and Salt Pond. We had Rainbows 3/5 mornings after a brief shower. Snorkled 8 bays in 4 days plus Ramshead and Annenburg Plantation. Place was totally stocked with spices, sunscreen, firstaide kit, fans, snorkle gear, information books, ect. Even had a half dozen eggs and 4 cold beers in the fridge when we got there. About 40 minutes from Cruz Bay and 15 minutes from Coral Bay. East side soooo much laid back then city side. Perfect to chill out. Brianne was excellent host. We could tell she care alot about her family house. Would definitely return to Mango Villa.

Great spot to get away from it all

My wife and I spent 10 nights at Mango Villa and it could not have been better. It's a world away from the bustle of Cruz Bay and exactly what we were looking for. We planned to explore more of the island but ended up spending most of our time snorkeling at Lameshur, Kiddel, and Grootpan as well as hiking to Reef Bay. The kitchen was well-stocked, the master bedroom was cool and comfy, and the screened-in porch had great views and was perfect for meals and readlng. We will definitely be back!

Cozy stay on the quiet side of the island

The villa was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The large Brita and many ice cube trays made hiking water bottle prep easy. The AC in the bedrooms kept us cool after a day of adventuring. We enjoyed playing the “St. John - opoly” they had and loved the little blue and yellow bananaquit birds who came to visit the bird bath! The villa is on the quiet side of the island, right next to Lamshur Bay and the Rams Head trail. It takes about 40 minutes to get here from Cruz bay, but the secluded location is so peaceful, and without any light pollution, the nighttime sky is incredible! There is no shortage of wildlife to see, and we saw turtles on every beach we visited! Abundant coral, bright fish, sting rays, and more - this was truly an escape for nature lovers. A few tips: 1) Recylables are collected at ReSource Depot on Gifft Hill Road behind Tony’s kitchen. They take #1, #2, #5 plastics and aluminum! 2) Chemical sunscreens are illegal on the island to protect the abundant coral. Remember to use only Zinc or Titanium sunscreens :)

Wonderful secluded spot!

My husband and I brought our 2 year old son and four friends for a week on St. John's and Mango Villa was the perfect home base. We could spend all day adventuring the come back to a quiet and beautiful spot. The house was very well equipped, and we cooked many meals there and enjoyed them on the screened in deck. We were in close proximity to some gorgeous beaches and good snorkeling plus we got to see tons of birds, hermit crabs, lizards, and deer without even leaving home. We will definitely be coming back here!

Lovely Home, Wonderful Location

Husband and I stayed at Mango Villa for two weeks, and heavens don't I miss it. Miss the view over Grootpan and the green hills alongside; all the amenities that make it a great beach house (a spacious and comfortably furnished screen porch, a well-equipped kitchen with a fridge that actually keeps things cold, reading lamps next to the bed- and a clothesline!); the snorkeling at Kiddel, Grootpan, Salt Pond and the Lameshurs- all a short walk or drive away; and the breezeway between the main house and the master bedroom, which was a great staging area for our gear. Also, the WiFi works great for those who need to do some work when they travel. And finally, shhh... I think this villa is one of the best bargains on the island!

Just like a welcoming home

My husband and I stayed at this lovely home for a month to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. We are active hikers, snorkelers, and divers and everything we needed was at the house-coolers, beach chairs, towels, noodles and an outdoor shower. The deck was the best feature of the house. We had breakfast each morning under the covered deck and looked directly at the water. Dinner was in the screened-in porch and we star-gazed each night on the open deck. The road to the house was rocky and rough, and the driveway was narrow and steep but we had no trouble with our Jeep. Would definitely recommend renting a Jeep. We made most meals at home and the kitchen had all appliances and cookware we needed. It is a 15-minute curvy, hilly drive to the restaurants in Coral Bay so either we cooked at home or had an early dinner to avoid driving in the dark. Overall, a very positive experience. Pictures online truly represent the house, and the owners were available and responsive from the time of booking and throughout our stay. I can recommend Mango Villa without reservation. You will not be disappointed.

All about the porch!!

This house was perfect for us. My aunt enjoyed having her own private space, and my immediate family and I enjoyed the main house. However the screened in porch with the most comfortable chairs and large table is where we spent most of our time... what q great space.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of St John

We had a wonderful family spring break with our 2 tweens. The space suited us perfectly and was decorated in a fun, artistic Caribbean style. It was comfortable and everything we needed for cooking in was available. Mornings and evenings on the screened patio were amazing. We especially loved the birds and colony of hermit crabs that live by the walk (which has exquisite plantings!)

Absolute paradise

What can be better than rolling over in bed in the morning and seeing the beautiful Caribbean water? Mango Villa is the perfect place for it! We came to St. John to celebrate my 50th birthday and loved it here on the quiet side of the island. Close enough to the fine restaurants and the wonderful snorkeling all over the island! We found it easy to go out in the morning to snorkeling or hang out on one of the beaches, drive back to the house to shower and then head out for dinner. Loved how close we were to Salt Pond Bay, where we got to see turtles as we snorkeled! The screened in porch was a big hit - great to sit out on any time of day. We made use of the grill with some local fish (yum!). The other amenities like the TV and games were nice, but we were so tired at the end of the day, we didn't even use them. We will definitely be back to St. John. And I definitely recommend Mango Villa for a wonderful, slow paced vacation!! 5 stars all around!

About the host

Hosted by Brianna Tallian

We are 3 professional women living in the Midwest, who have been coming to St. John for years. We finally decided that life is short, and it was time to have a place for ourselves and our families to escape the northern winters. We hope it will give you the same pleasure that it gives us.

Why they chose this property

This is not the resort Caribbean. This is a private spot at the end of the road. This is peace and quiet on our favorite island.
