We had a great stay in The Palms South. We were very comfortable with all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable. The highlight was the beautiful views from the patio and the living room windows. We loved the Hot Tub and the many amenities offered, we used there snorkel equipment, kayaks and rented a car from them. It really was convenient and easy. We definitely plan to return!
My family from 3 different states wanted to gather for Christmas in the Virgin Islands. I wanted to stay on St. John since we have stayed on St Thomas last year. The Villa was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen was well supplied with equipment we needed. Loved having a cooler and beach chairs ready to go!
We could not have picked a better place for our active family. Being in such a great place, right on the beach and our private cove, was amazing!!! The hosts were great, and it couldn’t have gone better. Absolutely recommend!
House was stocked well. the kitchen had everything you need to cook(no nonstick pans but I know how hard it is for a rental to have them)
Beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs for everyone. We thought that the construction may be an issue but it was not at all. Great having TVS in all the rooms. Great location!!
The property was awesome with a great location. The entire experience from check in until we left was great. I would recommend this place to friends and family.
This is a gorgeous property. Comfy beds. All the extras were there as advertised. They thought of everything and the attention to details was spot on. Our son got engaged while we were here. Pay attention to their suggestions on excursions. Will was an important part of our fabulous trip! We forgot a couple items when we left - they were happy to mail them back to us.
I hope to go back soon, and will definitely stay here again!
This was our first time in St. John, but definitely not our last! The villa was beautiful, spacious, and had everything you need! Fully stocked kitchen, snorkeling gear, kayaks, paddleboard, hot tub, and a beautiful beach! Everyone was so accommodating and made our check in/out so easy!
Everything was super smooth and communication between Al and MaryKae was excellent, the property is amazing and I would highly recommend this property for anyone! Location is close to town yet far enough away to feel like Chocolate Hole is all yours. We will be back.
What a great place! Our party ranged in age from 78 to 10 and we all found the property to be fantastic. Having the Immediate beach/ocean access was a real plus. Will certainly be booking at this property again!!

About the host
Hosted by Marykae & Al
We are the Scott's, Al & Marykae, the owners of Lime in de Coconut, Utopia Peter Bay, Shangri-La Villa, The Beach Oasis Villa, The Palms Villa, Pirates Landing Villa, Coconut Cottage, Poseidon’s Retreat and Neptune's Retreat. Yes, that is a lot of villas on the island; it genuinely attests to our love of St John!! We love the quiet calm and natural beauty of the island!! It's a very special place with an enchanting town, gentle green hillsides, and crystal clear, turquoise blue tropical water.
We first started coming to the island as a couple in 2011 and rented various accommodations. After many frequent trips to the island, we decided that it's time to buy our own place; somewhere we can call home and that would encompass what we loved about our frequent stays. Waterfront, directly on the water was what we both loved and that was our number one criterion when searching. We saw Lime in de Coconut Villa advertised and immediately fell in love with it and bought it right then. All our family love the island and at our family gatherings, there's always a great story or fabulous memory shared. It's everyone's favorite place to vacation!! St. John is a magical piece of this earth full of amazing blessings from God and nature. We loved the villa so much that we got married at Lime In De Coconut in 2017!
In renting our villa we found that all of our guests loved the villa and we kept hearing time and time again it was there best ever vacation. It was from this that we decided to expand this into a little business and started to look for the perfect properties on St. john. We want all our guests to Love St John and have the best vacation possible as we do. We know you will catch the feel good vibes of the island and our villas too! This is our escape from reality-haaaa!!
Come on down have some fun and relaxation and when done take away memories of a life!
Why they chose this property
Why Marykae & Al chose The Palms, Chocolate Hole-Cruz Bay Area
We love being directly on the ocean, and to be on the sandy beach also is a dream come true. We're so happy to have found this property. There's nothing better than being on the sand and swimming in the ocean that is only steps away from the patio. Enjoy drinks on the patio while watching the kids play in the sand and swim in the ocean. Never have a warm drink at the beach again!!
What makes this property unique

Luxury on the sandy beach! With all the fun toys to play with!! Kayaks, Stand-up Paddle Boards, Snorkeling Gear, Boogie Boards...it's all here and just outside the door. The patio is huge with lots of comfy chairs to relax and enjoy listening to the crashing waves and seeing the beautiful Caribbean Water.
