About this property
Bay House- Great Views, Pool, Walk to Shops and Restaurants
Coral Bay is St. John’s “other” community. It is a colorful, laid back and friendly small town. The name Coral Bay also refers to the neighborhood that surrounds St. John’s largest bay (Coral Bay).
Its location is perfect - a three minute walk to Coco Lobo shopping, Aqua Bistro restaurant and Dolphin Market. Twelve minutes walk (three minute drive) takes you to Skinny Legs restaurants and shopping. Overall, if you’re a devotee of Coral Bay (and many of our guests are) this is an excellent location, a lovely home, and a very good price.
Bay House was completed in 2000 and is similar in design to the popular villa One Particular Harbor, with both homes having been built by the same designer/builder. From the parking area of this 2-level home you ascend stone stairs to the upper level, which houses the kitchen, dining and living rooms and half bath. Screened sliding glass doors provide picturesque views from anywhere on the top floor. Interior stairs take you down to the two equal sized, air-conditioned bedrooms and the bedroom deck on the lower level.
The 20 x 10 foot pool and the sun deck are located at mid level on the southeast side of the house and enjoy sun from morning to mid afternoon, plus lovely harbor views and cooling breezes.
LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN. The living room is furnished with comfortable furniture for four and is equipped with a Smart TV..
Bay House offers a choice of interior or exterior dining. The inside dining table seats 4, while both upper and lower decks offer dining for 4 with scenic harbor views. There is a gas grill, cooler and beach chairs available for guests.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a stainless steel four-burner gas stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cookware, dinnerware and a telephone. A washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, are also included.
BEDROOMS. The bedrooms are equal in size, one with a king bed and the other with 2 twin beds that convert to a king. Both bedrooms are air-conditioned and have tiled baths with showers. Each bedroom has screened sliding glass doors that open on to the lower deck offering cooling trade winds and harbor views.
LOCATION. To get to the Bay House you drive from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay (Coral Bay - Western hillside), and turn onto the scenic harbor road that runs along the west side of Coral Bay. Just after you pass the Aqua Bistro restaurant you make a short climb up the hill that overlooks Coral Bay Harbor and you’re home.
The delightful National Park beaches at Salt Pond Bay and Lameshur Bay are a 10 minute drive, and it’s a very scenic 20-30 minute drive over Bordeaux Mountain into Cruz Bay, all on paved roads. For restaurants and bars in the Coral Bay area, you can walk to the Aqua Bisto, Sweet Plantains or Island Blues Restaurants and Caribbean inspired shops, or drive 2-10 minutes to 6 other restaurants, gas and groceries.

About the area
St. John
St. John is home to this villa. While the natural beauty of Virgin Islands National Park and Cinnamon Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Tortola Cruise Ship Port.
Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and horse riding nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Beth Racine
We are Bob and Pat. We purchased Bay House to serve as a respite from the Western NY snowy winters. Bay House offers a place for us to gather with our children and grandchildren. Our daughter, Beth, manages the VRBO account for us.
Why they chose this property
We love the community and beauty of St John. We have made friends with a number of families on island and have enjoyed getting involved in local issues. Pat is a member of the Moravian church--she sings in the choir. We enjoy hiking, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the beach and walking to all the wonderful Coral Bay restaurants.
What makes this property unique
We can spend hours on the porch enjoying the breezes and beautiful animals, people, and nature of St John.
