Jack and Julie are so welcoming and helpful! Highly recommend! They have everything you could need. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We will be back.

Great quiet location in Coral Bay. Spacious deck with a beautiful view. Short drive to many beautiful beaches. Close to many restaurants with a laid back vibe. Lime Out is a floating taco bar in the bay in front of the house. It’s a must! Jack and Julie were very attentive and took care of all our needs. Julie is an amazing chef!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was our 5th stay with Julie and Jack, and each stay continues to be exceptional in every way!!1) the location is outstanding. Our deck has an expansive view of the ocean, including Coral Bay, and well beyond. The sunrise and sunset views are stunning.2) if you choose Julie’s meal plan, her preparation is exemplary, from the quality and quantity of the portions, to reasonable pricing.3) if you choose Jack’s car rental, you will not be dissatisfied. The convenience and pricing is unparalleled. The vehicle is on premises upon arrival. Something to take into account that is outside of the nightly accommodation pricing.3) the king size bed is very comfortable, the shower a delight after an active day on the island, and the air conditioner is a new unit that works perfectly. A full capacity generator is onsite in the improbable event of power disruption.4) we love the location. This place is in the Coral Bay, Lower Carolina vicinity, more so on the side of the island where there are more residents and fewer tourists. A much shorter Jeep drive to either southern or northern beach designations than Cruz Bay lodging alternatives.In summary, as noted above, this is our home away from home, and Julie and Jack enable that feeling of comfort. We have no worries here. We arrive, we get into our routine, and we explore both new and familiar bays within the National Park System. We feel blessed to have found this place, which we did on our own several years ago.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
View was what you see on the pictures of the listing. Owners were nice and had everything for us upon arrival as we expected, along with some bottles of water and banana bread upon request. ST John is amazing. My wife and I are into hiking, snorkeling and fishing from shore. The location is great for all of that within 15 mins. Jeep was older but ran great! And got us around on the main roads and one dirt road for our adventures.
