Waterfront vacation rentals in Saint John

This is the perfect location for a very peaceful and restful stay on Tortola. The host was really good at communicating both before and throughout our stay. One minor issue with the bathroom basin plug was resolved straight away. The garden area, pool and small beach were all delightful, though loungers could do with an upgrade (a very minor matter). Fall asleep and wake to the sound of the sea and if you’re really lucky watch a pelican fishing right in front of you. We saw it most mornings and late afternoons during our stay. Probably best to have a hire car available though taxis easy to organise. We also used the local bus service, which was ‘an experience’, one I’m glad we had. Would we go back? It’s a very long way from Europe! But we both really enjoyed our stay and, though not as young as we used to be, would love to come again. We had some important communications to make during our stay and excellent WiFi enabled us to do it. Thanks Justin and all the staff.

This apartment was so very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. But the absolute best part was the incredible location. The views were so breathtakingly beautiful and just down the hill is great snorkeling in your own private cove. The snorkel equipment is great. I did wear reef booties because there are some sea urchins. The coral and fish rivaled Brewers Bay. It’s also not a bad walk to Nomads and The Shack for meals out but the kitchen is also fully stocked for cooking. We had hoped to be able to walk down the hill with our longboards and cut some of the paddle out to the Hull Bay break but it was a little too steep to carry the heavy boards. Totally doable with lighter short boards. Also, there is a super friendly cat who I just fell in love with. I really can’t say enough good things about this accommodation. Just excellent.

Views were very nice. Apparently it is 125 feet above the ocean below which helps your view. Quick 1/2 mile drive to RedHook. Shorter than that to Secret Harbor Beach. BTW there is additional parking for Secret Harbor up behind the tennis court, but first drop off passengers below. Easy snorkeling there off to the right around the rocks. Bed was comfortable. The place was kept up with maintenance and clean as well. The Beach Buzz cafe at Sapphire Beach had good Jamaican coffee or Lattes to get you started. Sun & Sea bar at Point Pleasant had a nice menu with pretty views and Tarpon Fish to see from the patio. Ferry to St Johns is close but parking got full for us. You might want to take car over for $60 or you'll pay for both parking and passenger ferry tickets, then additional taxi rides on STJ. We did go out to Cinnamon Beach and I think that is relatively simple to drive, but beyond that or to south beaches I cannot vouch for. Again the place was very nice, we had no complaints.

Absolutely loved my stay at this Airbnb on Tortola! The unit was impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly equipped with everything I needed, from a full kitchen to cozy outdoor seating. I left the doors open while I was there to take advantage of the lovely breeze. And while the unit has air conditioning O didn’t turn it on until I went to bed. The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and full of local tips that made my trip extra special. Whether you’re looking to relax or adventure, this place is a perfect home base while you’re on Tortola.

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

We had a wonderful stay! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from Sapphire Beach, making it easy to enjoy the stunning views and clear waters. The home itself was clean, well-maintained, and ideal for our group of five. The only thing to note is that there’s no elevator, so carrying luggage up can be a bit of a workout. But overall, the location and the home were fantastic, and we would happily stay here again!

We stayed at St Thomas in Jackie’s place for three nights. The view from the porch was more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and in the evening, sunset. Jackie was so kind in offering to pick us up at the boat terminal and also allowed us to check in early too. She sent a video with clear instructions in finding the place. Jackie responded to our every need. A basket of snacks, bottled water, sunscreen and bug spray were waiting on the counter…so nice. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Oceanfront Getaway! Our stay at this condo in Sapphire Beach Resort was amazing! The location is unbeatable, with stunning views from the private balcony. The condo is simplistic, clean, and equipped with a king bed, full cable, Wi-Fi, and great AC. As with all beachfront locations, being slippers or something to wear in the evening as sand gets tracked in no matter how hard you try to keep it out. Sapphire Beach is just steps away, and being close to Red Hook made it easy to explore restaurants. If you’re looking for a relaxing, luxurious stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands, this is the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place, very comfortable with all the amenities one would hope for. Hot showers, AC, comfortable beds, kitchenware for meal prep, chairs/towels/umbrella for the beach. Lorna was a very sweet and responsive host, and even came by in person to make sure everything was ok. The property is located 15 min from the airport up in the mountains and the road to get there gets very tight and steep in spots. We had good dry weather and were able to navigate in a 4 door sedan, but if the roads were wet I would imagine its quite difficult without 4 wheel drive. Get a jeep if you come during rainy months, and note they drive on the LEFT side of the road in St. Thomas. The climb drive is rewarded with amazing over water views of Caret Bay on the north side of the island. We got up for the sunrise every day we were there, and I'm not an early morning person. Despite some of the listing photos there are no beaches within walking distance, but Brewers Bay beach (a great recommend from Lorna) is 15 minutes drive near the airport and has great snorkeling- guaranteed to see some turtles. Coki Beach and Magens Bay are 20-30 minutes, and Red Hook where the ferries and boat tours launch is 30 minutes. If you want to be able to step outside onto sand, this is not the place, but if you don't mind a little drive, Lorna's place is great for a group of 5-6 people.

Cat's Meow was immaculate -- I've lived in several tropical countries and this was probably the place most impervious to insects I've ever stayed! It's super cute. Replete with a bug zapper, A/C and tight windows and doors, no bugs survived inside. The outdoor bathroom did have a friendly harmless tarantula living under the top step. We named her Juanita and felt disappointed after she vacated. Bed is comfy. Road noise starts in the early side but it's a great incentive to get out of bed and get a jump on the popular spots before the sun gets too high. We really loved our time on the island, with many great snorkeling and beach spots within a 10-15 min drive.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Tua. The property felt so secluded by all the surrounding plants and trees but we loved how conveniently located it was to restaurants and a grocery store that we could walk to. The inside spaces were very comfortable and we enjoyed the screened in porch area with the Weber grill for cooking. James was very responsive host and helpful during our stay.

Breakfast tacos on the covered patio was a wonderful break from the wedding festivities at Long Bay Beach resort. Fresh flowers were a lovely greeting. The air conditioners worked quickly! We were bid goodbye by a beautiful view of a double rainbow over the bay from the upstairs bedroom balcony on our last morning. The stairs made getting to and from the resort for wedding activities a breeze. Thank you, Sophie!

Amazing Airbnb with beautiful sunset views! The villa had all of the amenities my family and I needed for a week stay. Host was very responsive and friendly. Would recommend this place to everyone!

Enjoyed the hummingbirds, Bananaquits and the noise of the Coki frogs every night. Beautiful views. Wonderful house with everything you could need. Excellent stay.

Thus place was as described. Breath taking views. This was island living at its finest. Easy access into the property and easy access around the island. Highly recommend to rent a golf cart plus it just makes it fun to cruise around the island. We will 💯 rent again. Thank you so much.

We had a great stay at Sabrina's place! Beautiful views and very comfortable space. Beautiful beaches, market, and restaurants a short drive away. Beds were very comfortable. Sabrina was very friendly, responsive and had great local recommendations!

Alexia's Airbnb was topnotch!! The home was beautiful with everything I could ask for that made my birthday week a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. But the most AMAZING part of the condo was the stunning view of the bay. It was pure joy to wake up every morning sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and my kindle to start my day. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Linda and Peter were wonderful hosts to three of us who were in town for a wedding. The location was ideal for our needs, including a snorkel expedition that left right from the Sapphire Beach marina. The space was clean, spacious, central and comfortable for our visit. The views are perfection and really live up to the name Sapphire Beach. Linda and Peter were responsive and kind (thank you for flexibility surrounding check in!) and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book. Thank you again!

This condo was delightful-just as advertised. It was clean, bright, comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the large patio with views of the bay. The condo community was quiet and well maintained. Overall very enjoyable stay!

We had a great time! Everything was clean and location was great! Thank you!

beautiful view of the marina. close to restaurants and the ferry. the beach at saphire was wonderful. Erica responded quickly with responses and even reached out to me prior to arrival with help hints and ideas of things we might need or might want to do. we will definitely stay again!!

We had a wonderful stay here. Two good sized bedrooms with their own privacy and bathrooms. The condo is clean, spacious, and has everything we needed for beach, pool, cooking, parking, etc. Rosie was super sweet and I couldn’t recommend her place enough. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was everything we thought it would be. The view is out of this world and the host was extremely accommodating. Would recommend to any one visiting the Island.

Therese’s place was very clean, great location, and looked exactly like the pictures. I will definitely stay here again.
