About this property

Inspiring Views, Pool, Privacy at this open and airy Eco-Villa

Located high above Coral Bay looking out on the East end of beautiful St. John and the British Virgin Islands.

Tropical trade winds provide constant cooling; awaken to spectacular sunrises and breathtaking views. Relax and watch the sailboats from the covered deck. Do not be misled, our breezy hilltop location truly does not need air conditioning. The great room features an entertainment wall with TV (a Roku with guest mode is provided; Fire Stick not provided), DVD player, stereo and more.

With comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to 8 guests, 2 full bathrooms, complete kitchen with microwaves, dishwashers, and much more, Satinwood is sure to exceed your expectations.

Satinwood is solar powered; free from ties to the island's utilities. But you won't even notice that fact. The storage battery bank and backup generator provide reliable and earth-friendly energy for all your needs..

The unique design of Satinwood's energy and water system provides year-round comfort.

Even during times of periodic drought, the massive water collection area, huge cisterns, and use of Clivus Multrum composting toilet systems assure plenty of fresh, clean water for drinking, washing, and of course, relaxing in the cool swimming pool.

Each bedroom consists of one king size bed, complete bathroom, plus ladder accessible loft with two twin beds (suitable for ages 6 and up).

Outside on the sunny pool deck, lounge chairs, umbrella table, and gas barbecue grill make for the perfect vacation day or evening.

Satinwood is a regular visit for many of our guests. It is so beautiful, visitors come back year after year.

Comfortable accommodations for up to 8 guests
- Landscaping, pool & sun deck, covered gallery and bedroom decks
- Private and secluded but minutes from beaches, shopping and dining
- Alternative energy systems; solar battery and an automatic backup generator.
- Broadband Wifi internet.
- Television (We now provide a Roku with guest mode for ease and security. You may bring a Fire Stick or other media device), stereo and other comforts

Beautiful little St. John has so much to offer. The east end of the island is quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Some excellent restaurants and shopping are now available in Coral Bay and nearby. And, if a little more action is what you are looking for, Cruz Bay is still just a short drive away. For peace, beauty and the serenity of the islands, come to Coral Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Please note that the rate calculation must have the total number of guests.

Time of our life!
We were super comfortable and had everything we needed. Owner super responsive. Incredible location! Best vacation ever. The toilets were just fine, even my three young kids were fine with them. Thanks for letting us use your home!

Amazing villa with amazing views
This was our 4th trip to St. John and we found Satinwood to be by far the best property and location we have stayed. The sunrises are beautiful as are the views of Coral Bay, Norman Island, Peter Island and other smaller islands. The house is very comfortable and very well stocked for cooking at the house, and was perfect for our party of 2 older couples. Wonderful porches/balconies with a great pool area as well. The multrum toilets were not a problem for us. The breezes kept the house at a comfortable temperature so we did not need or miss air conditioning. Had it not been for the temporary road work going on the whole week, we would have had the perfect vacation. We would definitely go back again, and highly recommend for couples, as well as families with kids who don’t mind climbing ladders to get to the upper bedrooms.

Great place to stay
Excellent location and provided us with wonderful accommodation on a wonderful vacation. The mosquitos and bugs were a bit to deal with and one of the beds (sleep number mattress) went flat every night. No 'no flush - natural toilets' caught a couple of our guest off guard. So maybe that could be better explained in the property description - or perhaps we just missed it while looking at the beautiful pictures. Missing that great sunrise view already...

Peaceful with incredible view
We loved our stay in this house. We chose the Coral Bay end of the island to avoid the noise, and it was perfect. We slept to the noise of frogs, with gentle breezes blowing through the louvre windows. Our concern for the impact of travel on the environment meant this house with its solar power, composting toilets and gentle footprint was ideal. Our family enjoyed the great room and there is plenty of privacy with the bedrooms being at different ends of the building. We prepared many of our meals, and the kitchen is well equipped to do this. We experienced some excessive enthusiasm from the Noseeum's/mosquitoes and the management company responded immediately. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Stunning views
The photos don't do it justice. This property is perched atop a ridge high above Coral Bay. We had a constant sea breeze so we were never too hot. The views are spectacular day and night. We had two little ones with us who enjoyed the pool. Long drive up the ridge and tricky driveway, but we managed just fine in our four door jeep. Composting toilets are no problem at all; keep the lid closed and you won't smell a thing (even with the lid open not bad). We were missing some outdoor seat cushions, so we had to bring indoor furniture out to enjoy the serene balcony. The management company was kind and responsive. Only downside to our trip was that many restaurants were closed so the ones we went to typically had very long waits and slow service. So given how lovely things are at Satinwood, I would recommend picking up groceries and cooking at the villa! If I close my eyes I can still feel the rejuvenating effects of Satinwood:)

Why they chose this property

Satinwood is our family vacation home, not an investment property. We have over 40 years on St. John and picked this location deliberately when there were lots of options. We chose to live off the grid and preserve the natural beauty of the area as much as possible. Satinwood remains our favorite spot to get away from it all. We hope you enjoy the magnificent views, the tranquility and privacy as much as we do.
