La Bella Villa

We would definitely stay at this villa again. The description of the property was spot on. The best thing was no stairs in the entire house. Just one step into the house and that was great for 3 senior folks.

You will appreciate the absolutely stocked kitchen; Ziploc bags & food containers of all sizes. Spices, some oils, 2 sets of dishes, tons of glasses, pots/pans. You are set to go if you stay in to eat.

The view of Coral Harbour was insane. Sitting out on the balcony was perfect, especially at night. (Don't forget your bug spray)
There was no hand rail in the pool, which we thought was a safety issue for children and older folks. Otherwise living spaces and bedrooms were as described. The outdoor shower seemed to work better than the main bath. Found the water pressure to be very weak, and drain filled up.

We have been to St. John many, many times, but have stayed on the West end of the island. We found Coral Bay to be much quieter and more to our liking. Bonus...Skinny Legs was right down the street, one of our favorite places.

We did check out 2 other new to us places. The Windmill Bar(OMG THE VIEW) and Coco Jims(quirky place with mammoth sized Pain Killers and the best potato salad I've had in my 70 years!) Would recommend!

This was our first experience using St. John Signature and will go thru them again! Working with Sherrylon made the process very easy and she was so sweet handling my dumb questions.

The house and view were both amazing. It was also great they had chairs, towels, and coolers you can use for day trips. It’s really close to a market/grocery store and some restaurants. Highly recommend.

This special property exceeded our expectations in quiet and private Coral Bay. This was our 5th trip (and our first with kids) to St. John, and we picked this property for its location and the pool. The views are gorgeous and so enjoyable from an expansive deck surrounded by sublime landscaping. The house itself is beautiful with its traditional masonry, high ceilings, lots of fans and plenty of outdoor space. It is decorated with a traditional island touch that makes it feel especially tropical. The furniture is all good quality, except the living room chairs/couches could use a refresh. We really enjoyed the multiple doors with screens that could all be opened for a cross-breeze in the central area - which was necessary since there is no AC outside of the bedrooms. The primary bedroom has the perfect views for each morning sunrise. The kitchen is nicely appointed with modern appliances. The outdoor shower was a nice treat and lovely (but please note, there is only one indoor en-suite shower) All the dining tables are located outside on the respective decks. The house itself is located quite close to Coral Bay proper and is a quick drive to the cafe, food market and other local Coral Bay haunts. We loved the pool (and the stars at night), the views, the visiting birds and little lizards (the kids had an absolute blast) and we loved staying here. We can't wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Our family of five loved our stay at Bella Vista. Waking to the view of the bay every morning was awesome. Sarah was very helpful throughout the entire process. The property is perfectly private. The pool is perfect every evening. Top Notch!

The house is very clean with two air condition very comfortable bedrooms. The views offer from the pool and back porch were stellar. The house comes stock with everything that you may need. The drive to Coral Bay can be a bit challenging, especially at night, but totally doable. Highly recommend.

Place was clean, views were stunning! Bonus to have AC in the bedrooms because even with the windows/doors open, it was quite humid! Just a short drive to Coral Bay and the restaurants and market. Communication was superb. No complaints!
