About this apartment rental
While the apartment was renovated after the two 5 categories Hurricanes that affected us on September 2017, the yard and some of the outside walls still need some painting, planting, and recovering the construction process. We now have a broader and easier driveway, a new staircase (although still a lot, around 40), and in the apartment: new flooring, new paint, new fixtures, appliances, and much more. Fortunately, we still have the breathtaking view loved by our guests as well. Are you looking for a peaceful, charming place to stay with a great view? Simplicity is the place for you. The apartment includes queen sized bed and a loft with a full mattress, a small kitchen, and a small bathroom. The Sliding glass doors in the bedroom/living room open to a deck where you can relax with views of turquoise waters, green hillsides, and the neighboring British Virgin Islands. Lounge on the sunny deck and gaze out at the view of the bay over morning coffee, barbeque and dine indoors or outdoors while enjoying the views and trade winds which keep the apartment breezy (There are ceiling fans and and 3 extra floor fan also if needed), or kick back and rest after snorkeling and hiking at nearby VI National Park. If you are lucky enough to be here on the full moon, the silvery ocean is a sight you will not forget. Simplicity is located 10 minutes from white-sand beaches ideal for swimming or sunbathing with plenty of parking and hidden trails to explore, great restaurants, shopping, fishing, boating, and water sports. There are beaches, and a restaurant/bar within walking distance as well. With that said, simplicity is not a luxurious villa, it is a small rustic apartment targeted for the more down-to-earth traveler who wants to explore nature and simple living as there is no air-conditioning, laundry machine and my lively family lives upstairs. Coral Bay offers live music in the evenings at a variety of restaurants and bars where you can sip island drinks or feast. Many yoga and meditation classes are being provided within minutes of the property. In addition to simplicity, the complex consists of the owner’s main house which is occupied by your host and her two lively sons. There is no generator and power outages are common. The affordable pricing may let you stay longer, or treat yourself to a day sail or massage.
Comfortable and cozy with everything we needed. View was incredible and Shira was very helpful and nice!

Shira was amazing and made sure our stay was perfect. She kept us up to date and gave us great recommendations for dinners. Our room was clean and exactly as described. The view was fantastic and I enjoyed my coffee on the porch every morning. I would love to come back and stay again.

Absolutely the best “simply perfect” place on the island to stay. We loved the view and instantly felt at home. It felt private even though the lovely host lives upstairs. The breeze in early March was fabulous through the apartment. We enjoyed the location and every quirk or perk about it! This will be our choice every time as long as the host continues to rent her gem! Thank you

I was very comfortable at Simplicity, and found Shira to be welcoming, helpful and informative. Everything I needed and that beautiful view to wake up to! It more than met my expectations and I’d be glad to stay there again.
