About this property

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.

Amazing week on St. John

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.

The views are worth all the rest

First, management team was amazing to work with, very responsive as our arrival had several delays that complicated check in. Leo met us at Coral Bay Triangle, which at first I thought was odd, but soon realized the necessity in navigating the steep roads to find the property. You will need a 4x4 and some courage to come and go. They even answered us later in the evening when we were unsure of our turnoff in the dark. The house had a very well stocked kitchen, and all of the beach gear really came in handy. The outdoor showers were lovely. Having two large outdoor spaces facing the sunrise, was so nice. The pool area, cute & inviting. But the views, even more amazing than the photos, and if they are the only reason you come, you won’t regret it. I would be remiss if I didn’t note that the home was not immaculately clean, the beds were not properly made when we arrived, and it could really use a little TLC. The master sink was very slow to drain, the dishwasher rack was broken (though still usable), door handles broken, some patio doors were not usable, paint of the screened porch was rusted and peeling. All that being said, this is a remote location and I’m sure that makes maintenance difficult. I wouldn’t let any of it stop me from coming back, it is still an excellent value. I only mention because as a property owner myself, I would want to know. This was one of our family’s all time favorite vacations and Waterlemon Villa made for the perfect base camp.

Birthday Week at Waterlemon Villa

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.

Fall Break 2024

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+

Listing inaccurate

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

Breathtaking Views!

Waterlemon was perfectly situated to enjoy the most breathtaking views on St John! The house was perfect for our family of 5, with kids ranging from 11-16 years old. We enjoyed staying on Coral Bay side for the first time and would definitely recommend. The reviews of drive to the house are accurate, but TOTALLY worth it!! We loved and really hope to return!
