About this property
Breathtaking Panoramic Views of the British Virgin Islands from hot tub & pool!
Situated on the breezy mountain top of Upper Carolina, Papaya Moon Villa Estate consists of an owners apartment on the upper level and on the middle level has two beautifully renovated independent studio suites, "A Place in the Sun" and "Suite Papaya". Shared amenities include several large covered and uncovered decks, outdoor grill, pool and pool deck and a garden hot tub located on the upper level with views of Hurricane hole, the East end of St. John and the British Virgin Islands. This VERY private home is situated on a large piece of land in a tropical island setting. If you are looking for one of the most private villas on St. John, "A Place in the Sun" deserves your careful consideration. With easy access to the Northshore beaches, Coral Bay restaurants and bars, phenomenal views, and a full list of guest amenities, this special Upper Carolina property provides its guests with a vacation full of peace and tranquility. The pool and large pool deck area is located on the lower level of the villa. The area is a beautiful garden setting with professional landscaping and comfortable furniture for sunning, reading, or just plain relaxation. While previous visitors rave about St. John's beautiful landscapes and seascapes, the views of the nighttime sky is equally incredible. Guests at "Papaya Moon Villa" are inspired by the intensity of the beauty of our stars and moon. What better place to view the beauty than in our comfortable spa!

About the host
Hosted by Ron Yackel

Sue & Ron Owners of Papaya Moon Villa. We came to St John in February 1989 to celebrate our Birthdays. Sue immediately fell in love with it and we decided to move there and try it for one year. We did not want to say "We wish We would have". It took almost 2 years to find Papaya Moon.
Why they chose this property
This was our home for 13 years until we moved back to the states to take care of our aging parents. We loved the fact that it was so secluded and still is and we thing we have one of the best views on island.
What makes this property unique
Papaya Moon is centrally located on island so we are close to our favorite beaches on the North as well as the South shore. The pool and Hot Tub are what make it nice for additional enjoyment and/or relaxation when not at a beach.
