LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS at a private penthouse of the cottage called Vista Bahia St John, offers stunning picturesque WATER AND ISLAND VIEWS sitting directly above Coral Bay’s restaurants, bars, shops, and grocery/convenience stores. This uniquely designed round villa was hand-crafted in a tropical setting on a hillside overlooking water and islands, providing a panoramic view for miles around. This unit includes dual A/C split-units for cooling the entire space, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen, relaxing living room with smart TV with WiFi for streaming video, expansive view from the KING SIZE BED in your master bedroom, and lavish bathroom features including rainfall shower head and ample supply of towels.

WATER AND MOUNTAIN VIEWS FROM ALL AROUND THE VILLA AND ON PANORAMIC DECK. Step outside your bedroom or living room doors to enjoy the expansive sights from a bird’s eye view and trade winds of the Caribbean. Spend the morning soaking up the sunrise with your coffee as you overlook unobstructed, east-facing water and island views. Relax in the afternoon shade watching the colors of the setting sky as you cook dinner on the Weber gas BBQ grill. End your evening kicking back and gazing at the stars and listening to music. Your panoramic deck sits 500 feet above sea level facing the refreshing trade winds overlooking Coral Bay, Tortola and Norman Island of the BVIs, and down island at the Sir Francis Drake Channel towards the Baths of Virgin Gorda and Spanish Town.

   Public review This was a perfect getaway on St. John with what has to be the most beautiful view I’ve seen anywhere in the USVI. Sally was communicative, friendly, and flexible. Strongly recommend!

Public review I’ve stayed at many great Airbnb’s around the globe, and this villa stands apart for me and takes the cake as my favorite place I’ve ever stayed. I’m convinced there’s not a better place to stay in coral bay; the place is exactly as it looks in the photos. It has modern accommodations and all the conveniences one could want (most notably a water filter so you can drink the tap water at the Villa), and an incredible deck with the best of views. Ive never had such an accommodating, thoughtful, and well communicating host. My partner and I refuse stay anywhere else when visiting the USVI, and trust me when I say that as I’ve stayed at Sally’s Vista three times in the last 8 months!

Public review This place is perfect! The pictures are real, it is indeed as advertised. Sally and John have created such a beautiful villa. They are great hosts, welcoming and communicative. We had the best stay, we’re now trying to figure out how to go back again!

Public review Incredible 5 nights at Sally’s penthouse. Coral bay is the quieter side of the island and we enjoyed exploring the island in our jeep each day. The penthouse was spotless, well cared for and was everything we needed for a comfortable home base — but add to that the views and we were really in for a treat. You can’t get those views from Cruz bay! This was a first vacation (sans kids) celebrating a milestone birthday and we could not have had a better stay.

Public review My husband and I stayed at Sally’s gorgeous villa for one week and it could not have been more perfect. The views are out of this world. The villa is clean, spacious, and beautiful, and the kitchen was well stocked. The bathroom was beautiful – we loved the shower! – and the bed was very comfortable. We especially appreciated the black-out curtains on the windows so that we could sleep in well, even with the bright sun. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to stay and hope to be back soon!

Public review My wife and I spent a week at Vista Bahia celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Sally’s place was even better in person than the incredible photos. It was the perfect size and had everything we needed. The wrap around deck provided incredible views and was the perfect outdoor space. The location is within 5 minutes of all that Coral Bay has to offer for food and drinks. The guestbook on the coffee table was very helpful. It had menus of local restaurants, her personal recommendations, maps, and anything you could possibly want to know about the place or the island. We highly recommend this perfect vacation getaway on such a beautiful island.Public review

Public review
Very clean and comfortable. Can’t beat the view. Easy to get to and excellent location for a Coral Bay based stay. Great bathroom and bed. All the basics for cooking and great food storage/tupperware. Very quiet and private, especially considering there are two other apartments below. Responsive and friendly hosts. What else could you ask for?

Public review Sally’s place is absolutely stunning inside and out and exceeded our expectation. The villa is exceptionally clean and comfortable, as well as beautifully and thoughtfully designed and decorated. The view leading into the villa and from our balcony was absolutely breathtaking; pictures simply don’t do it justice. We felt like we were in paradise the moment we stepped inside. Finally, Sally and John were wonderful hosts and my only regret is that we didn’t get the chance to thank them in person for allowing us to be their guests; it was truly our honor. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Public review This is the paradise! My husband and I stay for a couple of days for our honeymoon. We couldn’t ask for a better place. The house is absolutely stunning with everything we need. It’s well equipped and so comfy. The view is wonderful. We have stayed in so many beautiful Airbnb houses, ocean and mountains, nothing compares to the house Sally and John built. Sally is a wonderful host. She’s so thoughtful. She has great communication and very detailed instructions on how to get to the house. This is definitely the highlight of our honeymoon. Btw I love the sea turtles decorations in the house! ❤️
Public review Hands down, best place to enjoy a most needed vacation and honeymoon. Sally and John were great hosts. My wife is a germaphobe so the first thing we do when we go to a new place, it’s start cleaning and sanitizing. Sally’s cottage was clean to the touch. The view is out of this world, the garden it’s also amazing and well kept. Can’t thank Sally and John enough for the beautiful memories my wife and I made on Saint John.
Public review This stay met every expectation for us. The apartment was exceptional and the views were as advertised and more. We even spent our evenings star gazing on the balcony! The apartment was very clean and many everyday items which are not feasible to pack were provided including olive oil and various seasonings needed for cooking. The shower had all the necessary shampoos and body washes. There was also a first aid kit in the bathroom along with aloe vera which I needed for the sunburn I received at The Limeout. Beach chairs, towels were also provided. The check-in process was simple and Sally maintained casual communications with us throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. All in all, this was a stay we enjoyed and we plan to make a return visit at some point in the future.

IMPORTANT TO PRINT/SNAPSHOT THESE WRITTEN DIRECTIONS to reach the correct location (at least your first time as you’ll likely lose cell phone signal on island, so you have something in hand). GPS 18.341276, -64.72144. Google/Waze, Vista Bahia St John. St. John does not have standardized addresses or mail service to reach most villas on island, therefore there isn’t a “street address” to provide you.

 ·     A landscaper may come Saturdays.

·     Ferry info (by car or by foot).

_________________________

• Once off the ferry to St. John, proceed to the only TRAFFIC CIRCLE IN CRUZ BAY.

• Head UPHILL on Route 10/Centerline Road (You will see a yellow building called “Dolphin Market” on left as you head up the STEEP HILL for Route 10). 

• Follow Rt. 10 for about 8 miles on CENTERLINE RD/RT 10/GERDA MARSH HWY all the way to Coral Bay/bottom base of Coral Bay/sign at the fork in the road. (if you see a sign for Route 108 before 8 miles, do not take that).

• Make a RIGHT ONTO ROUTE 107 and immediately pass a small pink restaurant, called “Ekaete Pink Corner”. Continue down the road a short way, passing trash dumpsters on your left.

• Make a RIGHT ONTO ROUTE 108 (there is a sign on left side of road before the turn). You will head uphill and see a green sign that reads “Calvert Marsh Road”. (Note: you have missed the turn if you see Dolphin Market of Coral Bay. Also, do not go down the road where Love City Market is – wrong road).

• Head UPWARD ON THE HILL about .4 mile (Four-tenths of a mile) up the mountain where Rt. 108 intersects another road.

• LOOK FOR A SMALL GRAVEL PARKING AREA with Peach and Pink Railing = LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD IS YOUR PARKING SPOT (shown as Photo 1 below). Go SLOW AS YOU ENTER THE PARKING. A sign for “Vista Bahia” will be on post in our parking area. Another indication you’re in the right spot is the intersecting road across from our parking area. If you are coming at night, look for lighted lamp posts on our parking railing.

• PARK IN SPACE 3 (photo below with a bright purple arrow). You get use of this parking space only. Be sure to leave parking for Space 1 directly next to your vehicle (shown in photo) – TWO CARS NEED TO PARK SIDE BY SIDE.

• Once parked, walk through the latched gate next to the Vista Bahia sign. KEEP GATE CLOSED AND LATCHED at all times to keep out goats, donkeys, etc.

• Proceed down the exterior stairs to the FIRST door, painted a PEACH color (there will also be a “3” on the post outside the door).
