Waterlemon Villa~Stunning Island Views, Pool, AC, Great for Groups & Kids

Waterlemon Villa is a private 3BR, 3BA vacation home located on the hillside overlooking Coral Bay, St. John. At 700 feet above sea level, this casually elegant retreat is high enough to capture the breezes of the trade winds and close enough to the harbor to watch the sailboats come and go. The breathtaking 50-mile view up the Sir Francis Drake Channel extends all the way to Spanishtown Harbor on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. Two queen bedrooms downstairs and one bedroom upstairs with two twin bunk beds accommodate up to eight people. While opening the sliders and letting the amazing trade winds cool you off will always be a wonderful option, we also have air conditioning in each bedroom to keep all our guests comfortable throughout the year. Waterlemon Villa is a unique property in St. John because everyone is housed under one roof, connected by an indoor staircase, making it ideal for families! However, the privacy of the location and pool make it just as enticing for a honeymoon couple or an anniversary trip!

The house is equipped for gourmet cooking with a large gas grill, Cuisinart pots and pans, good knives, extensive cooking utensils, a microwave, and, of course, a blender and a margarita set. (This is a vacation home, after all). There are plenty of dishes and glasses if you wish to eat in and enjoy the view from the comfort of the screened-in porch. The house is equipped with a triple filtered water system including U/V light and is drinkable.

There are multiple options for relaxing at the Villa from chaise lounges at the pool, to rocking chairs on the lower level porch, to the outdoor living area on the upstairs screened-in porch. The comfortable wicker living room set in the great room is a terrific place for watching TV (you can connect to all of your favorite Smart TV programs) or listening to music. The house comes stocked with books and games that are fun for the whole family. Enjoy a game of cornhole or jenga by the pool or a boardgame on the porch.

Coral Bay restaurants are five minutes from the house, and the outstanding snorkeling beaches of Salt Pond Bay and Maho Bay are a scenic 10-15 minute drive. Put the beach chairs and the cooler in the car, grab the towels and spend the day exploring. Everything you need for the beach- chairs, coolers, towels, are included with your rental! The natural beauty of St. John awaits you!

Coral Bay and Waterlemon Villa are an easy 25 minute drive east from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay. Come and visit, paradise is calling...

Waterlemon Villa welcomes children 3 years and older with younger children at the discretion of the property manager. The house may not be suitable for young children due to the height of the porches and retaining walls. In addition, a steep staircase between the first and second floors may make the house potentially undesirable for people with significant difficulty navigating stairs. Waterlemon Villa is a no-smoking, no pets property.

Absolutely loved coffee on the porch every morning - the views are stunning and the porch comfortable. House had everything we needed for a great beach trip and more. Would love to come back.

Our stay at Waterlemon Villa was better than we could have hoped for. We are so glad we decided to stay in Coral Bay instead of Cruz Bay. The vibe is chill and it wasn't busy or crowded with restaurants and small grocery stores close by. I loved waking up to the sunrise each morning and sitting on the screened in porch each night. The house was clean, not many insects for being in the Caribbean and fit our family of 5 with room to spare. It was so convenient having a washer and dryer, AC at night, stocked kitchen, pool floats, and beach chairs. Our family was looking for an adventure and we found it. We loved Hansen Bay, Salt Pond Bay and Cinnamon Bay. Snorkeled with sea turtles, baby nurse sharks, stingrays, jelly fish and all different kinds of tropical fish. We also hiked the Reef Bay Trial and Ram Head. I would definitely recommend the Full-Day Lime Out Snorkel Taco Lunch & Open Bar - Westin as they took us snorkeling at places you can't reach by land and that was when we were able to see the most coral and diverse amount of ocean life.

This house really does have amazing views. Things I liked: screened in patio, fully stocked kitchen with nice appliances, house was very clean, communication was great, beach chairs came in handy, lots of towels and fresh linens and extra ice packs in freezer for use in the cooler. Things on islands require maintenance and sometimes things don't go as planned and can be hard to get, there are a few maintenance items that should be done on the house. The biggest things to know are that the road leading to house is extremely steep and only a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle can make it. Our first rental got stuck (crazy story) but we were eventually able to get it back up the hill and returned it all the way back at St thomas for a better vehicle which handled all the roads and hair pinned turns on st John much better!

We had an amazing week on St John and loved staying at Waterlemon Villa. The house was clean and had all the amenities that were advertised! The AC in the bedrooms kept the house so comfortable and we only used it at night because the breeze kept the house comfortable with no need for AC. Having filtered water was a huge perk for us! We did encounter some hiccups, but this was no fault of the owner/property managers and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The outdoor showers are a novelty, but they are outdoors, so be prepared to shower with nature, if this is a problem you could always use the indoor shower. The sunrises from the deck got us out of bed each morning, so beautiful! We would definitely stay here again if we are back on the island.

We’ve been visiting the US Virgin Islands for 15ish years, splitting time on St. John and St Thomas. This place was equipped the best for our needs (cooking, games, pool, beach coolers/chairs, location to beaches) and just overall compared to other stays. We had two miner (towards the end) issues that were taken care of immediately by the property management team. Even had one of the owners reach out with an apology for any inconvenience. I guess the only negative (by slim margins) is the drive/distance from Cruz Bay. The grocery store wasn’t as nice on this end of the island and the restaurants were sparse. Over all, great place, views, well equipped, spacious yet private when needed! A+

We had a wonderful time staying at this villa on St. John. The view was incredible, the property was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was so refreshing. The air conditioner was new for this visit and worked perfectly! The property manager was also extremely responsive. Highly recommend.

Well kept home with stunning views and the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental home. We cooked, grilled, enjoyed the pool and had amazing beach excursions daily! Communication was impecable. We hope to return for another visit!

Amazing views and breezes. Fantastic screened in porch. The drive is a bit unnerving the first time--be prepared for steep narrow driveways--but worth it.

We arrived at Waterlemon villa with 4 young children to find out there was no water and we were told to use buckets if we needed the bathroom. Blankets/sheets also were dirty and our ac was broken in one room. The replacement ac leaked all over our floor which just added to everything We were patient and understanding as we travel a lot and things happen. We then found out the pool is NOT HEATED which was a big disappointment because the main title in the listing states that it’s a heated pool. The water turned on the following day but was cold with and then we fully lost water again the following day. So we couldn’t take showers/wash clothes after long days with kids. The owner Nicole offfered minimal compensation and made us jump through hoops. She was not helpful nor was she understanding about our situation. She was hesitant to even give any compensation and delayed mentioning It at all. She said she could understand but did not act liked she cared at all with the situation we were in. We tried booking another villa bc we had no running water for more than 50% of the time. Both Vrbo and the owner were less than helpful. Please be careful if you book here

Loved the location, totally private, beautiful house with awesome views. The kids loved the pool and the outside showers. The only thing is that the road leading to the house is not for faint of heart but that’s part and parcel of Saint John.

The property and view are amazing and has a wonderful breeze. The home is well equipped with towels and kitchen items. Steep stairs and low water pressure, but aside from that, it is amazing.

This villa was great for our family of 5 adults. It had everything we needed, kitchen was well appointed for meals, including the grill. We spent every night playing cards on the deck which was so relaxing. Waking up to the sunrise every morning was unbelievable! We had an issue with the water pump, but the manager was very responsive getting it fixed as soon as possible.

Highly recommend Waterlemon! Beautiful view, screened-in porch was great for the evenings, and amenities were top-notch. New Weber grill, new interior appliances, even sharp kitchen knives! The beach chairs and beach coolers were in great shape also. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
