About this property

In Harmony Retreat is a popular, top of the line one bedroom villa known for it's comfort, privacy, and amazing views in this quiet neighborhood. An ideal getaway for anniversaries, honeymooners and couples, with million dollar views of the Caribbean.

The Caribbean in front of you, stretching beyond your imagination. Water rippling below you in every shade of blue, dotted with sailboats and world-class yachts. Harmony Retreat for two awaits, ready to shelter you in the harmony that only the island of St. John can bring. Sit on one of the private balconies, bask in the brand new dipping pool-heated spa, or relax in the air-conditioned villa. In Harmony Retreat is a luxurious one-bedroom villa on Seagrape Hill in Coral Bay, St. John, the hot new in spot on the island with an old Caribbean feel. Just voted #4 in New York Times as Top 52 Places To Visit. From this stunning hilltop, you can see from the town of Coral Bay, with its beckoning restaurants and bars, to the shores and mountains of the British Virgin Islands across the sea. Because of it's higher location on Seagrape Hill, it has gentle breezes and stellar views that lower homes just can't offer.

In Harmony is just minutes from the famous pristine beaches of the National Park. Hike the park's trails or dive into the warm waters. There is plenty to do only a phone call away, such as kayaking, diving, snorkeling, swimming, and fishing.

And not only is there plenty to do, there is also plenty not to do. In Harmony Retreat is so comfortable you may not want to leave. Inside In Harmony, there are custom-built cypress-wood walls, cable television, and high-speed Internet access. Enjoy the Caribbean-style four-poster bed. Make yourself at home in the state-of-the-art kitchen, replete with hand-crafted cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Have a private chef or masseuse come up to spoil you.

Outside you can grill on the new barbecue, or lounge in the dipping pool-spa. Look down on half a dozen islands or read a book under a palm tree. Pick your new favorite tropical flower from the unique island landscaping. Watch the sun set in breathtaking shades of pink and yellow or the moon rise over the Caribbean at midnight. Count the shooting stars and the wishes you make on them. Also, check out the brand new Sea Palace Retreat 1 or 2 BR next lot over. Both totally private and nothing shared.

In Harmony Retreat is ready to cater to your vacation needs.

Just perfect for 2

The house is just perfect for 2- we loved the views, the lounge chairs, the pool, the breezes, the kitchen was perfect, the bedroom ac. Our only problem was no water after a power outage which eventually corrected itself.

Peaceful, private and beautiful

We loved the peaceful, private villa. It was just the right size for the two of us. The views of Hurricane Hole and beyond, from both the veranda and the deck were aauunbelievable.

Perfect Retreat!

In Harmony is a perfect retreat for two people. The view is gorgeous and the two decks (covered and uncovered) allow you to see it rain or shine. The uncovered deck also has a lovely hot tub and two chaise lounges from which you can see the view or watch for shooting stars at night! The house is equipped with everything you need and if there is something you cannot find, Paul, the manager will have it to you immediately. Both Greg, the owner, and Paul were there to answer any questions and help with suggestions on restaurants and grocery stores. We surely hope to return to this lovely home again!

Love the view

House is very functional and clean. Fantastic views and great location. Definitely need 4 wheel drive to get up hill to house and really the whole island. 25 min to Cruz Bay and 15 to Trunk Bay. Skinny Legs just down the hill, love the Mahi Mahi sandwich and Love Market was good for food and snacks. Hope to be back.

New England Winter Escape

This place is perfect for a couple to stay. The view is stunning from the deck. It’s right in the heart of Coral Bay by Skinny Legs and about a 30min drive to downtown Cruz Bay and about 15mins to the north shore beaches like Trunk Bay etc... It’s totally private and Paul, the property manager and Greg, the owner were so responsive and helpful. My wife and I can’t recommend this place enough!

Amazing views and location

The location was easy to locate with the directions given. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the pool, while grilling and admiring the coastline. It was conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores. Couldn’t have hoped for a better location for our honeymoon.

wedding/honeymoon in st john

We had a great time. We loved the sunrise view from the front porch while enjoying our morning coffee. The house had all the essentials you would need in the kitchen and then some. The house manager, Paul, is super nice and very responsive. He was also very respective of our privacy, giving us a heads up when anyone was heading to the house for any reason. The house is secluded enough to be peaceful but still close to a few restaurants and grocery stores and a lovely little coffee shop.

Great as advertised

The view from the property is every bit as fantastic as it looks. We liked staying on 'the quiet side' near Coral Bay. Paul made himself available to answer any questions we had and even bought us a drink when he ran into us at dinner. Great island, great VRBO.

Really didnt want to leave

The house is comfortable enough. The bed was very comfy, the views are the very best and the spa/tub was very helpful and refreshing. Having a washer and dryer was critical for us since we were there for 4 weeks. Everything worked fine. Paul was extremely helpful, Greg as well. The power situation is the only issue and that's out of the hands of anyone on the island. Generators are expensive to install and operate, so to have one demands a big cash outlay. We visited several beaches, hiked several trails and enjoyed the rain storms very much. Sebastian did stop by and one of his progeny, a younger version for sure. We would stay again. Thanks again Greg and Paul for all of your help and care. We appreciated it very much.

Did Not Disappoint!!

Our time at Harmony Retreat was full of surprises, but overall it did not disappoint. Upon arrival the pool was not available due to a broken pump, there were a few power outages over the entire island in the first few days (one lasting 22 hours), and the washing machine quit working later on. But Paul was the man, he quickly had the pool up and running shortly after we arrived, provided power to the refrigerator via a generator so all our food would not spoil, and replaced the washing machine within hours after finding out it did not work. This is no small task when considering one must go to St. Thomas to get parts to fix most things. Paul not only did an outstanding job in keeping the place up and running, but he also is a great source of information when asking about places to explore and eat. Overall, the cottage is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood, has everything a couple needs to cook, relax, and enjoy the wonderful scenery off the deck. Checking in and out is very easy, with no surprises. We definitely recommend this place to those who plan to vacation on the island. Thanks again Paul for your quick promptness and great conversations!

Paradise

We had a wonderful vacation! The home was perfect for the two of us. I loved sitting on the deck and watching the sunrise. The view is amazing, very peaceful. The only sound in the morning is roosters crowing in the distance. No traffic. We enjoyed the pool and privacy of the location. Sebastian the cat is sweet and we enjoyed his visits. Paul was really helpful and gave us some great tips. We hiked several trails and went to several beaches. Cinnamon Bay was our favorite. This vacation was one of our favorites and we would love to stay here again. Thanks!

Little piece of heaven

Our stay at this little piece of heaven was absolutely amazing. The perfect size and view for the celebration of our 25th anniversary! The view really was spectacular!! We enjoyed our breakfast and coffee every morning on the front porch just taking it all in. St. John is such a beautiful and relaxed island and Coral Bay was nice and quiet. We did end up going into Cruz Bay quite a few days of our week stay for groceries etc. but the drive is always beautiful. If you want the grocery store with the best and most options go to The Market place in Cruz Bay. We ate at Skinny legs twice and windmill bar once. Both were very cool places with a great vibe but Windmill’s view is unbeatable. Doing a day trip to The Baths is a must. It was literally one of the most beautiful waters and beach I’ve ever seen. We also very much recommend taking the salty lime boat out to Lime Out taco bar! So much fun and super delicious!! We enjoyed a couple lazy days pool side, which was just the right size, at the house. The only beaches on St. John that we visited were Trunk Bay and Maho Bay. Both were too wavy to see any turtles or fish but the beaches themselves were amazing and not busy. Parking can be hard but we were there early enough to get good spaces (9am). Back to the house…having air conditioning in the bedroom (which we only ran at night) was great and the bed was comfy. The rest of the place had plenty of windows/doors to keep a good breeze coming through the house during the day.

Remote beauty

This small house has a stunning view in a very private setting. While we had no Wi-Fi due to provider difficulties, the property manager, Paul, was conscientious and prompt with repairs for problems. The house is appointed with appropriate appliances, furniture, supplies, etc. but could use some updating. The view is stunning but comes with a caveat. Drive carefully as the climb up the mountain is steep with hairpin turns! But so worth the drive.

This villa was amazing! We loved the quiet location overlooking Coral Bay. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony and taking dips in the private pool. Greg and Paul were both very helpful and answered any questions we had. Kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. AC in the bedroom was nice and strong. They provided beach chairs and a cooler, as well as beach towels. I appreciated the dishwasher and washer/dryer on site ( although we didn’t end up doing any laundry).

He also gave us some pointers about where to go and where to buy groceries and other items that saved us a lot of time and frustration. The place was wonderful.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Kinslow

I have been on St. John for 18 years and lived all over the island. Coral Bay is by far the best area. Having managed several top rental properties, I know what one needs on a St John vacation. Just opened the brand new Sea Palace Retreat 2br. Can be rented as a 1 br as well for two or 4.
