Periwinkle Cottage of Coral Bay is a perfect rendition of a traditional West Indian cottage with modern amenities such as WiFi, ceiling fans, and window screens. Located at the end of a private road, Periwinkle has a million dollar view of Coral Bay, historic Fortsberg, and Norman Island in the BVI. Periwinkle is close to the village of Coral Bay with its variety of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The location is ideal for exploring St John's best beaches on the North Shore, the South Shore, and the East End.

You enter Periwinkle through a vine-covered fence into a private brick courtyard. The upper level living area is bright, open and airy with white vaulted ceilings. The living room has large white rattan chairs, a daybed , and several tables and reading lamps. All furniture is upholstered with cotton/linen slipcovers, cushions, and pillows. The stunning water view, the quartz counters, the gas stove, and a full array pots, pans, and kitchen utensils make cooking a pleasure. Most of my furniture is from Serena & Lily

Beyond the living area is the upper gallery. The gallery dining table set seats 6 guests. Two places to lounge on the gallery include a large outdoor sofa and two lounge chairs.

A wide covered staircase to the lower level leads to a gated 10' by 20' pool and deck area. The tiled pool deck is furnished with chaise lounges and tables. Near the pool deck a covered deck leads to 2 private bedrooms, each with its own tiled bathroom. Double screened doors, shuttered screened windows, ceiling fans, AC and the trade winds keep both bedrooms airy and breezy.

3rd Bedroom is main level and the 3rd bathroom is near it. Shower for this bathroom is outdoors.

About the area

St. John

This cottage is located in Lower Carolina, a neighbourhood in St. John, and is in the mountains and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Virgin Islands National Park and Cinnamon Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Tortola Cruise Ship Port. Kayaking and parasailing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and ecotours nearby.

Experience
This was an amazing home, we had the absolute best time! We loved staying in coral bay, much less crowded than Cruz bay. Great restaurants and markets around for easy grocery shopping and eating out. The house had beautiful views and great outdoor seating for everyone. The beaches were not far from the house, pretty easy to get around. We would definitely stay again!!!

Coral Bay vacation ☀️
We enjoyed our vacation . The house was as the pictures showed in listing . Coral Bay is a beautiful and much more quiet than Cruz Bay. We would definitely rent again . Only things that I would maybe make a slight complain about is the smell of the coral bay trash on hot days it comes right up wind . Can’t be helped I’m sure as that’s the only place to take trash.

Great beach house in St John
This house was wonderful!! From day one at check in the property manager was in touch with us and always made herself available with any questions we had. We had no issues during our stay but if we had I’m sure she would have been there to help assist us. The house is gorgeous! Looks just like the pictures. The living area is upstairs and the bedrooms are connected with an outside hallway downstairs. I didn’t realize this until arriving at the property but we made it work with our young family (kids 9, 6, & 3). We felt safe the whole time which was a big concern we had going into the trip for the first time with our kids. The neighbors are very friendly and kind too! We liked the location in Coral Bay, away from the busyness of Cruz Bay and a great jumping off spot to see the whole island! I will say that the area where you get on the ‘main road’ isn’t ideal with the trash drop off spot and the questionable activity happening across from the convenience store but the house is far enough away up the dirt road that we still felt completely safe the whole time. There is a portable AC machine in one bedroom but nothing in the other two sleeping areas (master bedroom and pull out sofa in living room), but it was definitely cool enough to sleep with the windows/doors open. There were lots of nature sounds but that is going to happen anywhere on the island so bring a sound machine or earplugs (which the house did provide disposable earplugs in the bathroom). The house had beach chairs, noodles (great for snorkeling at the beach), blow up rafts for the pool, coolers, a few snorkels (but we rented our own), and a few games, cards & books. There is one TV in the master bedroom and the Wifi worked great for us! The towels are amazing!!! We are investing in better bath and beach towels after experiencing the Serena and Lilly ones that the house had to use, ha! The beds are all really comfortable too with nice sheets. The view is amazing and we loved coming back to the pool after a long day at the beach. I would definitely recommend staying at this house while in St. John!

Hi I'm Janelle! One of my favorite places on earth is St John. My family and I love being in Coral Bay because you really feel like a local while staying on this side of the island. We love this cottage for our family of 5 and I hope you will too! So many hiking spots and beaches nearby!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with St John Immediately, upon my first visit. The escape to this quirky town is the perfect place to be a total beach bum. I love sitting on our screened in porch every morning and having coffee. I also love doing yoga by the pool. Periwinkle cottage offers a refreshing and relaxing vacation ( although those roosters do get going about 5am) I'm proud to share my home with you!

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with the history of the home aspect of the property as well as how it was designed. It was designed by a local architect and marine biologist. He loved the periwinkle flowers that bloomed on this side of Coral Bay. It is a traditional West Indian Cottage which is what I was looking for. I enjoy the Hurricane shutters, old knobs and brick floors. I had an immediate connection with this cottage and fell like its my job to bring it back to life. We remodeled Periwinkle December 2021
