About this property

Soft breezes, rainbows, breath taking views

HALCYON DAYS VILLA - Nestled upon a finger of land jutting out into St. John's famous Coral Bay, the largest natural harbor in the Caribbean. The home has panoramic views of a nearby fringing reef, British Tortola, Norman Island, St John's East End and Coral Bay.

Danish style stone house completely rebuilt after being hit by Hurricanes Irma/Maria in September 2017. Furnishings and appliances are completely new. Cabinetry is Nicaraguan mahogany.

Butterfly palms, a towering schefflera and Corinthian chimes greet our guests as they enter Danish archway doors into the atrium.

The upstairs living room invites multiple gathering in one area: reading, table games, napping, tv, kitchen prep and grilling on the extended deck.

In our outdoor space there are: Flamboya, mango and calabash trees, fruits and herbs - avocado, papaya, banana plants, lime and cashew bushes, lemongrass, aloe, and basil. All available for renters when in season. Wildlife provides constant fascination and amusement. Startling egrets visit in the morning to hunt. On neighborhood walks we frequently see land turtles, hummingbirds and their nests, golden orb spiders in their webs, wandering donkeys, goats and sheep. Deer come for visits in the late afternoon.
Birdwatching is a favorite pastime. Bananaquits visit our sugar bowl daily, mourning doves, thrashers, and the magnificent American Kestrals are close by.

Easy to use flat paved parking area with room for three or four cars.

Nearby favorite beaches include Salt Pond and Lameshur are close by, along with hiking to Ram's Head or Danish ruins. Our favorite restaurant, Miss Lucy's with its tables by the ocean is 4 minutes away, Rhumb Lines, another favorite, is 10 minutes away. The infamous Skinny Legs is across the street from Rhumb Lines. For those who enjoy yoga, classes are held both at the community center, Our Place, and Concordia.

Beautiful house and location
Our stay here was wonderful! We rented the house as a gift for my parents and they absolutely loved it! It’s hard to tell from the photos but the rooms in the house are actually in separate sections making them nice and private for people traveling in groups. The kitchen/living room is very spacious with windows all around with beautiful views. The house had everything we needed, beach chairs, beach towels, many kitchen supplies, they had soap and shampoo in the showers, they thought of all the details. They also had a very helpful binder of information about the house and things to do on the island. The communication was great with the homeowners, they even called to make sure everything was fine and we were enjoying our stay. I was also impressed with the property manager who answered all my questions quickly. We got to meet the property manager and the gardener and they were both very nice. The yard is filled with beautiful plants and flowers that are obviously well taken care of. The area is very quiet with only a few houses on the road. We only got lost a few times driving 😆 make sure you read the directions carefully that the homeowners provide because you can’t just look up the address on your phone GPS. What we did is, once we found the house we dropped a pinned location on our phone GPS so that we could easily find the house later. Overall this was a very peaceful, relaxing stay and we would love to come back in the future!

The photos of this beautiful Villa don’t do it any justice! The view was fabulous and the rooms and living spaces were very well appointed and the beds were extremely comfortable as well. I would highly recommend staying if you’re planning on staying in Coral Bay!

Beautiful property
Halcyon Days is a well thought out, beautiful, and comfortable property. The photos can’t even capture how beautiful the views are from the outdoor spaces, and the atrium was so serene. Our family of four was so happy to come home to this property everyday after lots of snorkeling and exploring all that St John has to offer. Every amenity was provided and the beds were very comfortable. We loved our stay at Halcyon Days!

Wow, wow, wow...
We generally rent 2 to 3 vacation homes, cabins etc each year during our vacations and this home is the best we have ever seen. The views are mind blowing - no pictures can do them justice. The kitchen is fantastic with everything that you would need to cook. The stores on the island have limited selections and are EXPENSIVE. Best to try and stock up at Cruz Bay before heading to the house. The directions were straight forward and for St John - the drive was very easy. A lot of the side roads on the island are insane. On our first day, we started to scheme about how and when we could come back. Enjoy

From the first moment you open the double doors leading into the courtyard you know you are someplace special. You move from multiple indoor to outdoor spaces leaving you to reside in the best of both worlds. The property takes advantage of being in the hills with privacy, views and warm breezes. The bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen are all very well appointed and spotless. ( even when I thought I couldn’t find a mixer to make a birthday cake, I looked a little further and of course I found one). Everything we needed whether going to the beach or staying home playing games, reading books and enjoying being reunited with family was all readily available. This isn’t a diamond in the rough. The hosts and this place are the finished and polished gem itself.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Lois Weinberg

Host profile image
Lois and I live in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. Lois works with dyslexic children, while I am an attorney, businessman and writer. We spend most of the winter at our St. John house, which we built new in 1981 and rebuilt from January 2019-June 2021.

Why they chose this property

We first came to St. John in 1968, a year before we were married. We kept coming and built our house in 1980-1981 for my 40th birthday. We come to St. John about four months of the year and spend the rest of our time traveling or living in our home in Eastern Kentucky.

What makes this property unique

The house is called Halcyon Days, after a poem by Walt Whitman.
"As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs really finish'd and indolent-ripe on the tree,
Then for the teeming, quietest, happiest days of all!
The brooding and blissful halcyon days!"

As recent renters wrote in our guest book, "We truly rekindled our hearts and cleansed our souls." "Your house was magical, reminding us of what is important in life."

We appreciate the calm and tranquility of the area. We came to St John because of its wonderful beaches, so we haven't done pools.
