Spectacular views...refreshing trade winds, private pool. Island Dreams indeed!
Enjoy peaceful, and private "island living" overlooking the postcard waters of the Caribbean at ISLAND DREAMS. Relax by the private pool while watching the sun rise over the British Virgin Islands. Spacious two-level living provides ample room for four guests to unwind and relax offering enough personal space for each guest. The main level contains the kitchen any cook will appreciate with new appliances (2025), a generous wrap-around deck, large family room with pullout sofa (inquire about additional guests’ accommodation) and a full bath. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a large granite island, and pretty much anything you could ever need. In the family room there is a desk for two and a Smart TV. A portable bluetooth Bose speaker has been added for you to use around the house as well.
Both bedrooms on the lower level are accessed via the outside stairs connecting the two levels and have high-end, king-sized beds with new pillows and linens. Each identical ensuite bathrooms are large and have all the amenities you'll need including body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Both enjoy double vanities and tiled walk-in showers. Each bedroom has commanding views of the Caribbean and open out on to a second covered deck. All spaces are fully air conditioned with individual room controls.

Island Dreams is right above Coral Bay with grocery, restaurants, breakfast and Lime Out floating taco hut! Only 15 minutes from breathtaking national park beaches: Maho, Trunk and Cinnamon bay, and well-marked network of hiking trails. 25 minutes to galleries, fine-dining restaurants and ferries in Cruz Bay.
Island Dreams is capable of being completely self-sufficient in the case of a power outage with two power wall batteries. Whether an hour or a day, you should not notice any disruption to your electricity or internet service. Common sense steps taken ensure you are never without power during an extended outage as the system will recharge during the day.
Island Dreams is a place we hope you find yourselves able to recharge, relax, and enjoy what makes St John "ST JOHN". We have taken great pride in creating an inviting, comfortable home and cannot wait for you to experience it!

Island Dreams is beautiful. A lot of care and attention has been put into the interior design making it feel cozy and like home. The pool and outside dining area are peaceful and relaxing. Sunrise every day over Coral Bay is what dreams are made of. We appreciate staying at this lovely home!!

Elizabeth...Thank you so much for staying at Island Dreams. You are spot on!!! That sunrise NEVER gets old! We'd love to have you back anytime!
The hosts/managers were super helpful and accommodating. The unit is perfect. Fully stocked kitchen, cozy living area, two spacious guest suites downstairs, and of course an amazing outside deck with views of the bay and plenty of seating / lounging options. The pool is small but great for cooling down or staying refreshed. You do need a rental jeep to get around.

We had a great stay. The views from the balcony, particularly at sunrise, are unparalleled. We made great use of the beach chairs, towels, and snorkeling gear provided — all in great condition. Owners were quickly responsive and had great communication. Would stay again!

Absolutely beautiful space. The house manager was amazing and went above and beyond for us. Would recommend this to anyone! A special plus for us: they had plenty of beach chairs, snorkels, fins and pool towels.

Hi Rae! I am so happy your team had a great time. PLEASE come back soon.
The views from the deck are stunning, a perfect place to hang out next to the pool and the patio at the rear of the property. Everything was very comfortable and the owner suggested a local boat rental place that was very helpful. A little bit of an issue with water pressure and temp but Leo helped get the temp back up. Only other issue was locking ourselves out of our bedroom one night. It took multiple tries to get the right pressure on the door etc. in order to get back in.

The property was amazing! We came down here for a week for our honeymoon and it couldn't have been better. There were several restaurants and markets close by, but with the beautiful view from the pool, it was difficult to leave. We can't wait to come back!

We just returned from our trip to St John. Island Dreams was the perfect villa for our family. We wanted to feel off-grid without being off-the-grid tech wise. Coral Bay was perfect for that. We rented a jeep on St Thomas, grabbed a few grocery items and took the ferry to Cruz Bay. The drive to Coral Bay was a bit bumpy and wild but we got used to it (and driving on the left-hand side of the road) pretty quickly. You definitely need a 4 wheel drive. The island felt lush and rustic and authentically Caribbean.Once you got to Island Dreams you were at your own little oasis. We just loved it. It had a breath-taking view. We enjoyed sitting outside just looking out at the bay. There was always a nice breeze. The house was bright and welcoming. Great care has been used in anticipating guests' needs. I LOVED the color of the cabinets. The den area was comfortable and full of games to play. We had an epic 2 night monopoly game. There was also quite a selection of books to read. The bedrooms were spacious and everything was very clean. It was a little weird to have to go outside and downstairs to get to the bedrooms, but it added to the charm. We appreciated all of the beach items available to use. Loved the coolcabana and plan to get one ourselves!Here's the best part- St John and St Thomas were out of power for several days and WE NEVER KNEW IT until we heard people talking at the airport on the way home. So thankful we found this gem!

About the host
Hosted by Rob Bagshaw & David Lancaster
Hi Everyone! From Beautiful Cape Cod to Spectacular Coral Bay, we have built a life where we enjoy some of the most beautiful places, and we are thrilled to be able to share them with you. Island Dreams 2.0 is a dream come true for us. We bought the house in April of 2022 and have worked very hard upgrading virtually all elements of the property: Landscaping, amenities, linens, beachwares, beds, kitchen outfitting. You name it! We have even replaced all of the glass sliders and upgraded all towels with YOU in mind! We really hope you enjoy your time at Island Dreams 2.0
Why they chose this property
We love Coral Bay for the calm this part of the island provides. We get to know our neighbors, are regulars at the restaurants, and with that view...it had everything we wanted! Peace, quiet, and as we slide into our retirement years (cross the fingers) it will be more and more our happy place!
What makes this property unique
One of the best features of this villa is being to escape from it all. You truly feel like you have your own private piece of paradise. From enjoying the sun rising over Coral bay with a cup a coffee, to watching boats sailing the famed Sir Francis Drake channel, or simply curling up with a good read, this is a spot that where you can truly escape; reconnect and find renewal.
