Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Karen Vahling
Your hosts are Karen Vahling and Jeff Bowers. Karen purchased the land in 2000 and started her labor of love to build Joy of Life Villa. We moved here because I love the incredible natural beauty, simple life and friendly community. Karen is from Pekin, Illinois and Jeff is from Howell, Michigan. Karen has lived on island for 27 years and Jeff for 6 years.
Why they chose this property
Karen fell in love with St. John 27 years ago and always wanted to live here. It is the best island because it is 2/3 National Park and US territory. Coral Bay is unique and unspoiled, full of natural beauty.
What makes this property unique
This property is unique because it is on a large parcel of land (over 1 acre) and has an expansive view from its large deck and all windows, overlooking the USVI and BVI with development-free Coral Reef National Monument in the center of view. Stargaze at the milky way with no light pollution, fall asleep to distant waves breaking on the reef at Johnson's Bay and tree frogs peeping. The sunrises are amazing, hence the name "Sunrise Sweet". Wake to doves cooing and amazing sunrises over the islands from your bed, sip your coffee on the deck, then hit the beaches or go kayaking in pristine waters - kayaks are provided for you at no extra charge! Very peaceful and quiet, no traffic noise, tree frogs at night. Solid masonry floors, walls and decks. Over-sized wooded lot on a knoll overlooking the sea and islands. Owners are nearby to greet you or for any needs that might arise.
