Perched on a private ridge overlooking Coral Bay with easy access on a private road, this 2-bedroom and 3-bath home with a pool is the perfect home base for your St. John vacation. The 2nd bedroom has a private, exterior entrance. While there are many wonderful restaurants and bars in the area, the house has a modern kitchen and an outdoor grill for preparing home-cooked meals to be eaten in nice spaces to enjoy views of Coral Bay. You will need a 4WD vehicle (Jeep) for this property. The house is a short drive to Northshore Beaches, Coral Bay restaurants, National Park Hiking Trails, and grocery store. It is a 25-minute drive to Cruz Bay. Not recommended for children under 10 years old. Must be 25 years old or older to rent this property.

Please note that the second bedroom/suite, located on the lower level, is separate from the main floor with its own entrance. Also, the pull-out bed is located in the living room, which is well-ventilated but does not yet have air conditioning. Both bedrooms have air conditioning units.

You will be asked to sign a rental agreement that will be due within 7 days of receipt. This agreement is uploaded here for you to see and will be emailed to you personally after booking.

Perfect stay!

Excellent home for a perfect week long vacation. Close to Coral Bay and Skinny Legs — our favorite for burgers and Pizza Bar in Paradise. Only 15 minute drive to gorgeous North Shore beaches. It was just 2 of us and we loved the privacy at the end of each day of adventure. Great covered deck and lovely refreshing pool — both equipped with plenty outdoor seating. Loved the umbrella for extra shade at the pool. Bed was very comfortable. Communication with owners and with Dwight, the house manager, was clear and timely. And Dwight even picked us up at the ferry and drove us to our Jeep rental in Cruz Bay — a treat especially because it was raining when we arrived. And even more important: when our Jeep rental broke down on the road near Miss Lucy’s and we could not get through to anyone at the Jeep rental, we were able to text Dwight, who drove to the Jeep rental company and got the owner of the company to contact us. Thank you, Dwight!!

About the host

Hosted by Nicole and Marshall Walters

My husband and I are from Pennsylvania and have visited the USVI for several years now, particularly St. Thomas until we decided to spend time in St. John the winter of 2023. We stayed at On a Whim and fell in love with the property and location. Coral Bay, itself, is a diamond in the rough! When we found out the house was for sale, we were excited for the potential to take on a new adventure, one that also included being hosts for the first time in our lives.

Why they chose this property

As people who enjoy everything the island life and the outdoors has to offer, we have a few favorite places that keep bringing us back! On the South Side, Coral Bay is a must! Be sure to visit Skinny Legs (bar and grill) and Lime Out (taco boat accessible only by boat). Salt Pond Bay is amazing and there are two very cool hiking trails connected to it. The first is short and has many stone figures made by the many who visit. Be sure to make one yourself/ves! The second is longer and challenging with spectacular views. Honestly, there are many hidden treasures on this side of the island! Adventure on!

On the North Side, you'll find the beautiful beaches that everyone talks about. Cruz Bay is the main hub on St. John with shopping, restaurants, night clubs, a marina, etc. Lots of action here. The beaches on the North and East sides are easily accessible here. Be sure to check out Trunk Bay with its underground snorkeling trail. Cinnamon Bay, the Reef Bay Trail, the Annaberg Plantation Ruins and Trail, and Caneel Bay as these are among our favorites. At Caneel Bay, there is an opportunity to have an amazing dinner at Zozo's on the beach (make a reservation) and to visit Honeymoon Beach! We suggest spending the day at Honeymoon Beach and having dinner at Zozo's. You will not be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

Our property is cozy and functionable. We fell in love with its surroundings - the birds and other sounds of nature that persist throughout the day, not to mention the climate and temperature on this side of the island! The house itself provided us with a home away from home - a place to work, if necessary, and relax. While we do enjoy going out to eat, we also love cooking and trying new recipes, so having the ability to cook a variety of Caribbean meals at the house, including grilled lobster, suited us perfectly. The pool allows for private, quiet days; and the location of the house, itself, allows for easy access to everything you could possibly want out of St. John.
