Perfect for couples or honeymooners, and also has a sofa bed. Located in Coral Bay, 2 minutes to restaurants and 15 minutes to major beaches on North Shore, 10 to Salt Pond Bay. Concierge service always complimentary; we help you find excursions and recommend dining and activity customized for YOU. A standard rental Jeep with 4WD is required for our VERY STEEP hill in case of rain, and for the mountainous terrain of St. John (most local rentals are Jeeps). We advise renting Jeeps on St. John rather than on St. Thomas due to unreliable car barge schedules. You can take the "people ferry" over on the hour. This rental and all amenities are on the entire main level of Joy of Life Villa and your privacy is paramount. We rent to mature couples seeking a tranquil, comfortable and romantic getaway.
