Summary: Jack and Julie's place was perfect for us. Coral Bay is located on the quieter side of the island. The large patio looks out over the bay - the view is stunning! We had everything we needed in our unit; beach towels, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, cooler, etc. The unit was spotless and comfortable. Even though Coral Bay is quiet, there are some great places to eat there, as well as grocery stores, so we didn't have to travel to the other side of the island if we didn't want to travel. And Lime Out, the floating taco bar is in Coral Bay, so that made it easy to visit. We rented a jeep from Jack. He is a mechanic so the jeep ran great, and if there would have been a problem, which there wasn't, he is available to take care of it. All of the beautiful beaches are close by. Jack and Julie live in the unit above, so they are available, if needed, but the unit is so well built that we never heard them above us. They also arranged taxi pick up for us when we arrived on the ferry and at the house when it was our day to leave. We loved our stay here, and when we return, we won't consider staying anywhere besides Jack and Julie's place.

Summary: Cannot beat the views of Coral Bay from the porch! We enjoy staying on the quiet side of the island close to so many wonderful beaches and surrounded by nature! Hosts are great! Julie’s meals are fantastic and Jack’s Jeep rental can’t be beat! Thanks again for everything!

Summary: My husband and I booked Jack and Julie’s studio apartment based on a recommendation from some friends that stayed for their honeymoon. It did not disappoint! Jack and Julie are the sweetest people. Read Julie’s guide when you get all settled in. It helped us out tremendously. We carried it everywhere with us. The studio was cozy and had everything we needed. Julie even brought us fresh baked chocolate chip and walnut cookies just because it was a rainy afternoon. The location of the studio is perfect. 10 mins to most beaches. We will recommend this place to anyone who ask and will definitely return.

Summary: This was our 7th trip to St John, the last four with Julie and Jack, who were the perfect hosts in every way. The location of this super comfortable studio is ideal for those like us who prefer the feel of a home away from home, it is within comfortable driving distance of the eastern, southern, and north shore beaches. The view from the large deck is over Coral Bay and beyond. Everything about the studio was great!! The mattress was exceptional, as were the air conditioning and shower. There are two small refrigerators which hold plenty of food over the course of the stay. And Julie’s cooking is literally as good as anywhere we have ever eaten. The jeep we rented from Jack was super comfy. We were so happy we booked a followup stay for next year towards the end of our stay.

Summary: To Julie & Jack, Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful and welcoming space for our 10-year anniversary stay. We felt at home from the moment we arrived and truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. The views were breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed to unwind. Julie's meals were a highlight—each dish was delicious, and we loved the variety, especially the mango coconut bread! Renting the Jeep from Jack was perfect for exploring the island's beaches. Despite our arrival alongside Tropical Storm Ernesto, which turned into a Cat-1 Hurricane, we made the most of our time and appreciated Jack taking us for a quick food shopping trip before the storm. Julie's warm meal the following day was much appreciated. The local insights and tips you provided were incredibly useful. We visited several beaches and loved snorkeling at Salt Pond, Haulover, Maho, Cinnamon, Francis, and Waterlemon Bay, where we saw over six sea turtles! Even on our last rainy day, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Coral Bay and took the opportunity to relax. We highly recommend Brittany from Crandall Massage—she was fantastic. We hope to return someday to create even more memories and know exactly where we want to stay! With much gratitude, Rachel & Clayton PS. Sunscreen, UV clothes, and hats are essential. PPS. Bug spray is a must—no-see-ums will bite! PPPS. Keep LEFT & watch out for goats and donkeys.

Summary: This property was an absolute dream!!! The views, the private deck/porch, Julie and Jack’s helpful hints, it was PERFECT! This was our first time to St. John and it couldn’t have gone any better! Jack and Julie have thought of everything to make this stay a true vacation! We ordered the prawn dinner and Coral Bay salad with shrimp(for lunch the following day)—both were amazing! It is helpful to do the jeep rental to get to the property and to all the beaches. Everything is in close proximity to this property. We got comfortable pretty quickly driving in St.John and also getting to the property (a little bit of an incline but not bad.) Thanks Jack and Julie!

Summary: The only suggestion I would have is for a week long stay there should be ample amount of bathing towels, as I arrived home with the worst bladder infection which I never get. I’m sure it’s from using dirty washcloths to clean areas that should be washed with clean towels. Four large and four small were provided for two adults for an entire week. Not use to reusing washcloths. Over all our stay was really nice with wonderful just.

Summary: This Coral Bay studio is in a great location that is easy to get to. The view of the bay and east end of the island is stunning. The studio room, bathroom, closet, and porch are spacious and comfortable. Jack and Julie are knowledgable, responsive, enthusiastic and gracious hosts. They certainly have thought of everything. It is evident that their goal is to help you enjoy your stay and make the most of your time on St. John whether that involves adventure or relaxation. We encourage those who plan to stay to take advantage of Julie's culinary skills and pre-order some of her tasty mango-coconut bread and gourmet dinners that are catered to your porch. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: We rented this studio and the Jeep Wrangler from Jack and Julie. Three words, attention to details! Julie provided so many beach/hiking necessities and that made our visit so stress-free and helpful! It was wonderful not to have to pack the beach bag, towels, coolers, etc! We met people at the beach staying at the Westin and they were laying on towels on the beach, while we had nice chairs and coolers to pack lunch and snacks in! The studio was absolutely perfect for my husband and I! We thoroughly enjoyed swinging on the porch swing while looking over Coral Bay! My husband and I have said repeatedly that this vacation was so relaxing! We ordered Lobster Spaghettini from Julie's room service. It was so delicious! Best meal we had while on St John! Jack was so helpful with providing tips on how to navigate driving on left side of the road, what to do when it rains and steep hills are slick, how to drive with the locals, etc. Priceless tips that helped make our vacation perfect! They truly want their guests to get the most out of their stay and we did! Highly recommended!
