About this villa rental
Waterlemon Villa is a private 3BR, 3BA vacation home located on the hillside overlooking Coral Bay, St. John. At 700 feet above sea level, this casually elegant retreat is high enough to capture the breezes of the trade winds and close enough to the harbor to watch the sailboats come and go. The breathtaking 50-mile view up the Sir Francis Drake Channel extends all the way to Spanishtown Harbor on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. Two queen bedrooms downstairs and one bedroom upstairs with two twin bunk beds accommodate up to eight people. While opening the sliders and letting the amazing trade winds cool you off will always be a wonderful option, we also have air conditioning in each bedroom to keep all our guests comfortable throughout the year. Waterlemon Villa is a unique property in St. John because everyone is housed under one roof, connected by an indoor staircase, making it ideal for families! However, the privacy of the location and pool make it just as enticing for a honeymoon couple or an anniversary trip!
The house is equipped for gourmet cooking with a large gas grill, Cuisinart pots and pans, good knives, extensive cooking utensils, a microwave, and, of course, a blender and a margarita set. (This is a vacation home, after all). There are plenty of dishes and glasses if you wish to eat in and enjoy the view from the comfort of the screened-in porch. The house is equipped with a triple filtered water system including U/V light and is drinkable.
There are multiple options for relaxing at the Villa from chaise lounges at the pool, to rocking chairs on the lower level porch, to the outdoor living area on the upstairs screened-in porch. The comfortable wicker living room set in the great room is a terrific place for watching TV (you can connect to all of your favorite Smart TV programs) or listening to music. The house comes stocked with books and games that are fun for the whole family. Enjoy a game of cornhole or jenga by the pool or a boardgame on the porch.
Coral Bay restaurants are five minutes from the house, and the outstanding snorkeling beaches of Salt Pond Bay and Maho Bay are a scenic 10-15 minute drive. Put the beach chairs and the cooler in the car, grab the towels and spend the day exploring. Everything you need for the beach- chairs, coolers, towels, are included with your rental! The natural beauty of St. John awaits you!
Coral Bay and Waterlemon Villa are an easy 25 minute drive east from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay. Come and visit, paradise is calling...

Amazing host and location.

We had a fabulous week here with our four kids and my in-laws. The views were incredible and it was so quiet. The outdoor showers were absolutely amazing. The breezes were wonderful and sitting on the screened in patio under the fans was surely my favorite spot. The steep indoors stairs were a challenge for my youngest daughters (3&7) and my older in-laws (73&75) other than that we loved our stay. I was very impressed with the well appointed kitchen and how well everything was cared for. The drive up to the villa took some getting used to had to use four wheel drive a few times. We loved our stay and it will be a lifelong memory for us. We got to watch our kids fall in love with the island we honeymooned on 14 years ago!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2022
All in all, we definitely enjoyed our trip to St. John and the US Virgin Islands!
We could have rated this property 5-Star, however, there were some things in the listing that could’ve been more accurate.
Upon arrival, we toured the property with the host and to our disappointment immediately discovered that there was no AC in the house. We felt that this “amenity“ should have been directly referenced as either not available, not working, or not part of the amenity list. This is some thing that should have been clear on the listing, as so many other properties on the islands offer AC.
The second disappointment: there was not a working washer, and the dryer that did not work well either. Again, this was actually an amenity that was listed as being available in the listing, but the host failed to tell us that there was not a working washer, and the dryer did not dry the clothes fast enough because the hot temperature was not working. The host explained that the washer was not working, but this is something that should’ve been disclosed prior to us booking the property. The host informed us that he was willing to wash our dirty laundry, but how many people would honestly feel comfortable with a stranger washing their clothes? We did however, allow the host to provide us with clean towels by way of pick up and drop off daily, and he kindly obliged to.
With the price that we paid for the property in the thousands of dollars, these are a few things that there should be complete disclosure and transparency with. Unfortunately, finding these things out upon arrival put us in a position where we would either have to find another location and fork out the money for an alternative location and lose the investment money for this property, or just deal with it.
We chose to stay and just deal with it, as a family of seven we were not interested in the headache of trying to find another place at the last minute.
The home itself was beautiful and we did enjoy our stay, despite the disappointment.
As a small business owner, we would have offered a partial refund for the non-disclosure of amenities in order to make up for the disappointment, but the host did not do that.
Our advice to future visitors to this property: clarify all details of all amenities prior to booking.
Our suggestion to the property owner and host: communicate all listing amenities with full disclosure, and be willing to refund some amount for inaccuracies.
