About this cottage rental
Skyloft, a modern vacation cottage newly constructed in 2015, is perched on a tropical hillside 600 feet above Coral Bay one mile from the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one-half mile from the shops and restaurants of Coral Bay. The home consists of two buildings, a kitchen and a bedroom/bathroom. There is a spacious tile deck, a back deck shaded area, and external grilling kitchen, and a 12-foot diameter freshwater pool. There are two tropical outdoor showers. Access to the Skyloft deck and the spectacular view is by way of three flights of stairs from the cement parking area.
Many Coral Bay Restaurants, such as Skinny Legs, Rhum Lines/Indigo Grill, Oasis, Danforth and Aqua Bistro, are less than one mile away.
A 10 minute drive northwest brings you to the Maho, Cinnamon, and Trunk Bay beaches. A 10 minute drive east brings you to Salt Pond Beach. Also within this radius are hiking trails, plantation ruins, water sports rentals, restaurants, bars and shops.
The Skyloft indoor kitchen includes a sink, a 2-burner stove top, a small microwave, blender, toaster, a unique, full-capacity, under-counter refrigerator/freezer, cabinets and eat-in counter space for 2. There is a small but complete inventory of cooking pans and pots along with necessary utensils and plates.
The outdoor kitchen features a built-in gas grill, a sink and electricity. There is a sheltered outdoor dining/lounging area between the two buildings. Skyloft is specifically designed for guests seeking privacy and elegant outdoor living.
The bedroom is a separate, enclosed, fully-screened building with a queen-sized bed, ceiling-fan, air conditioning, two closets, and an enclosed bathroom featuring access to an outdoor shower. The outdoor shower has stunning views of Coral Bay, Hurricane Hole, Tortola, Norman Island, Peter Island and the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
The large tiled outdoor deck is perfect for lounging, dining and relaxing. At the east end of the deck is a 12-foot diameter freshwater pool. The second outdoor shower is by the pool.
Skyloft faces Northeast. The sun travels behind the property in the southern sky, providing natural shade for the deck in the morning and in the afternoon. There is all-day shade in the outdoor dining area and off to the side of the deck beyond the external grilling kitchen.
The property is secluded and private, surrounded by a lush tropical forest.
Beach towels, beach chairs, and a cooler are available for excursions.
There is a minimum stay requirement of 7 nights
Skyloft is closed during the months of August and September. Check the calendar for precise closing and opening dates.

My wife and I spent a week here and had an amazing time. The Skyloft was a perfect blend of quiet and remote yet clean, comfortable and luxurious. The location is conveniently close to many restaurants and beaches on the island and provided easy access for excursions. The views from the deck and bedroom were even better in person than in the photos. The hosts were also very helpful and provided plenty of detail in addition to maintaining welcoming accommodations.

One week of beautiful views and a different beach each day. This rental is set up to enjoy the outdoors while enjoying the view of Coral Bay and the BVI beyond! Easy to check in, friendly, responsive owners, set up for cooking if that is your thing.

This was our third trip to St John, so we obviously love the island. And if you could create the absolutely perfect place for a couple to stay, Skyloft is that place. Killer view, fifteen minutes from all our favorite east side beaches and snorkeling spots and very comfortable. Skyloft is well-appointed and maximizes outdoor living space in a place where that’s exactly what we want to do! It’s just a gorgeous place. Reviews suffer from grade inflation. If it were allowed, this place is 6 stars!

The owner is quick to respond to emails and questions. The property managers were extremely helpful offering advice on best beaches, bars, and restaurants. The view from the outside shower pool and patio are incredible. Close proximity to great hikes and beaches. Great attention to detail including wifi and an ipad with Netflix in the off chance you catch a rainy day. The drive up to the skyloft is very steep but after going up and down a couple of times you get used to it. Well worth the price of admission!
