Beach house vacation rentals in St. John

The views were amazing from outside or inside. All the basic amenities were provided. Very serene and private area. We spent most of the evenings on outside porch. (Bring bug spray)

The view from the villa was fantastic. The amazing porch was the first and last place to be each day. It was interesting to have the bedrooms and living room in separate areas but worked out fine. The beds were comfortable. As others have said, you need to be prepared for a very steep hill. For most this is not walkable. The beaches are so beautiful, like a huge swimming pool!

Beautiful place! The local contact, Abby, was great helping us with anything needed. She referred us to a local taxi driver that was available anytime we needed him. Since the location is rather secluded it was great having someone available to make getting around the island easy and accessible. Great place and we were well taken care of

This house is in a great location at the top of the hill. Feels like a secret paradise get away with breathtaking views but conveniently close to down town. Yes air in the main living space would be nice, but we found air conditioning to be extremely rare on the island. The air in the bedrooms was wonderful. Washer and dryer were a nice bonus. Never had a problem with power, WiFi or water supply while there. Few locks and screens need repair which I alerted the owner to so they can be addressed for the next tenant, but did not impede our stay. We were Overall very pleased with the home. Pictures are very accurate!

We loved the place!

I had a great trip staying at Cabrita by the Sea! I was provided with many recommendations and had any questions I had answered quickly! The Airbnb was easy and convenient near Red Hook where you can find many restaurants and the ferry to St John. While at St Thomas I would recommend going on a snorkeling trip. Our favorite beaches were Magens Bay and Trunk and Maho (St John)

This place is beautiful!! The location is perfect very close to Red Hook where you take the ferries to different islands, close to restaurants and shops. The view of the house is amazing! It has everything you need to have a great family beach vacation! Host was very helpful and kind. We are definitely coming back soon!!

Bruce met us and showed us this new condo and gave us the run down of the location and instructions for the 10 minute walk into Santa Cruz. He is very proud of the building, currently with 2 2brm units to rent and 1 single unit getting the interior completed. It's new and immaculate with all the amenities and beach gear you would need for a longer visit. There is a grocery store 5 minutes toward Santa Cruz. If walking is difficult on the steep streets consider taking a local cab to and from Santa Cruz.

We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and private this home was considering its proximity to restaurants and the main thoroughfare in Coral Bay! It was so convenient for us to get to all the beaches we love to snorkel at AND the very best dinners were at Sharky’s right outside our front gate!! So we did not have to drive to dinner most nights!! We could walk to Crabby’s, practically next door for snorkel rentals. There is also a small market right behind Crabby’s. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately as Jose was living on the premises. We only saw him when we needed help with something. Only concern for Seniors is the winding stairwell to go upstairs to bedrooms and main bathroom. Fortunately, there is a first floor bathroom and shower we also really appreciated being Seniors ourselves!! We LOVED the screened porch surrounding the home and the small pool was refreshing after a snorkel. There is a hose for cleaning sand off everything by the pool.

Pura Vida was lovely! The entire home was spotless. The views and the outdoor pool was our favorite. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The grounds were beautiful and interesting. The ruins had its own little history lesson and we loved the shell book and its history to previous owners of the home. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you so much!

We loved our stay in Cruz Bay. We had a party of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids ages 7 & 9) and we felt very comfortable. The kids loved swimming in the pool in the afternoons and evenings. The outdoor area was great for lounging in sun or shade with drinks in hand! Everything was clean and worked well. We rented a car to get around and were glad we did as the hill to get to the house is very steep. The host, Linda, is very responsive and extremely helpful before, during and after our trip. Definitely recommend if looking for a place on St. John.

Had a fabulous time here. You could not ask for a better location, or nicer view! Bob's hospitality was next level. All around 10 out of 10! Thanks for making the trip so nice and special :)

We absolutely loved our stay in St. John. We were greeted and welcomed and helped every step of the way! We loved the view and the deck and the pool and hot tub were perfect for our teenage daughters. We made special memories together and we will be back!

Great houses with pool. Super easy to communicate with. Met us at the dock, drove us to the house, showed us around, answered every question and more. House is great value. Parks 2 cars, ac in every room that will get them colder than you could ever want. Great water pressure in showers, soft comfortable beds and linens, tons of towels, beach chairs snorkels floaties. Amazing view. Like perfect view of crux bay, the ocean, st Thomas island, just stunning. Checkout was very easy. Take trash, turn off ac units. Could not recommend more highly. No negatives.

Our family of 5 had a great week at Toti Bella! The owners were very informative and responsive. It was fully stocked with everything you may need from kitchen essentials to beach gear. We loved enjoying our morning coffee on the deck and its beautiful views. The pool was a refreshing way to end the day after hiking, & the beach. With May temperatures in the 90s we were concerned about only having AC in the main floor bedroom but the island breeze made the entire unit very comfortable. We would definitely stay at Toti Bella again!!

The house and property were absolutely incredible. The view was amazing, especially at sunrise where we could see for miles and miles offshore. The location about 10 minutes outside of Coral Bay was perfect with easy access to restaurants and beaches. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

The previous reviews are spot on. I can’t think of anything that isn’t provided for everyday living essentials. I feel as if even a culinary chef would be happy with the kitchen and its supplies. The couch is cozy. The bed is super comfy. The wifi is dependable. But my favorite is the outdoor shower. Pictures of the Virgin Islands never do it justice. I must admit I basically lived on the wrap around porch looking out over Coral Bay. I stayed for a month so I chose not to drive because I had plenty of time for public transport. If you opt for a shorter stay I do recommend renting a car and make sure it is 4WD. The bus stop is less than 5 minutes away and only cost 1USD. It does not run on weekends. However, the people of Coral Bay are more than happy to give you a ride if they are heading your way. Be aware that the taxis will not take you from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay. You must call ahead and arrange it. The bus is there waiting when you get off the ferry. The people of Coral Bay are very warm and kind. My local host Whitni was no exception. She was super friendly, a helpful guide and even stocked me up with water. The wildlife are friendly as well. Some reviewers say it gets quite loud. Ear plugs are provided. This is a peaceful and relaxing place to stay in the midst of beautiful beaches, amazing wildlife and the friendliest neighbors you'll ever have. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever back that way. Thank you so much Marcia and Whitni!!

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage and truly loved it. The place is exactly as shown in the photos: clean, beautifully furnished, and very cozy. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the sea and unforgettable sunsets. The view from every room was spectacular—even from the shower in the bathroom! The kitchen is fully equipped, the bed is comfortable, and the layout is well designed. The cottage is just an 8-minute drive from Cruz Bay and only 5 minutes from supermarkets, making it both peaceful and conveniently located. After exploring the entire island, we wouldn’t choose to stay anywhere else. The access road is a bit tricky at first, but after a couple of times it becomes much easier to handle. We didn’t have a 4x4 and still managed without any issues. Jessica was always incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any questions—we truly felt at home. We would definitely highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment with an open layout and the most magnificent views. At booking, I did not realize that the common area was open to the outside, with only screens and no AC. However, this gave a wonderful feeling, like being in an eco lodge, and there were AC units in the two bedrooms, which made sleeping very comfortable. It appeared that some of the other units in this complex had sliding doors to the patio. But we were out during the day and it was not unpleasantly warm when we were inside. If climate control at all times is important to you, then I would not recommend this unit. The kitchen was well stocked with high quality cookware and knives, which is rare in most rental properties. The parking space and close proximity to supermarkets and downtown were fantastic benefits as well. The unit was also stocked with beach towels, snorkeling gear, a cooler, beach chairs, etc. so we were able to pack light and did not need to rent items. Hope to return!

Lynn’s place was fantastic. The kitchen was truly amazing. I have never had a kitchen so well stocked. It was excellent. Everything you could ever need. The. Entire place was perfect.

Colleen’s place was wonderful!! Staying on the Coral Bay side of the island was a nice change of pace for us. The house was secluded and quiet. The flowers, fruit trees, birds and lizards added to the beauty. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner in a few nights. The hot tub was a wonderful way to relax in the evenings. The beach chairs and cooler were an added bonus. The location was great, we enjoyed getting to the East End beaches easily but also being close to our favorite beach, Maho. It was also nice being so close to the Love City market grocery store. Colleen’s place was the perfect place for our family of 4!! Thank you!!

Lovely home with amazing view. The indoor/outdoor showers were fantastic. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare proper meals and bonus Togo containers and coolers for lunches on the beach which is often something I want but don’t find in other rentals. Definitely a great place and hope to visit again.

Wonderful hosts, very responsive and friendly. great home, perfect set up with kids. awesome beach amenities, clean. very steep roads to get there but wonderful home. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

You cannot beat the beautiful views! The house had everything we needed and was functional. They had beach chairs and beach umbrella, which is worth their weight in gold for beach hoping on St. John. Good place to explore the island from.
