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.

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.
