About St John, The US Virgin Island's Best: The still-pristine island of St. John is the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands and lies just 3 miles east of St. Thomas and a mile from the nearest of the British Virgin Islands. Nearly two-thirds of the island is national park, with forests and nature trails for your enjoyment. Nature lovers will be amazed by St. John's ecological diversity, from cactus-laden desert bluffs to lush tropical forests singing with tree frogs and painted by orchids.
The true treasure of St. John is its beaches, white with soft, sugary sand and edged by coconut palms, gentle waters, and pristine coral reefs. World-famous Trunk Bay is here, as are spectacular Hawksnest Bay and Cinnamon Bay. Part of the national park land is underwater and home to amazing coral reefs, plant life, tropical fish and turtles.


Beyond the spectacular natural beauty, St. John is a colorful and artistic community filled with unique shops, boutiques and vendors. The shelves are filled with local artwork and distinctive jewelry as well as exotic imports. All of the restaurants are locally owned, each serving up tantalizing flavors and atmosphere for even the most discerning palate. Local seafood such as mahi mahi, Caribbean lobster, conch, wahoo, yellowtail snapper and tuna are always fresh and available.

Getting out on the water is a must for every Virgin Island vacation. Sailing, fishing, scuba diving and powerboat charters are widely available, as well as sea kayak and dinghy rentals. Our favorite is sailing. The fresh tradewinds, calm seas and protected anchorages make the Virgin Islands one of the top sailing destinations in the world. Hundreds of nearby islands await your exploration, all just a short boat ride away. Some of the best snorkeling and diving spots are only accessible by boat.

Many visitors will be captivated by the fascinating history of St. John and the Caribbean. From the Taino, Arawak and Carib Indians, to the days of piracy, to the Danish sugar plantations, St. John has amazing stories of slavery and freedom, rebellion and discovery. Many remnants of those days have been preserved here. Upon your exploration you will find Danish sugar mill ruins, archaeological digs, and petroglyphs from the ancient tribes that first inhabited St. John.

There is so much to do and see on this tiny 27-square-mile mountainous island that many visitors find themselves coming back year after year.

Lovely and remote spot
This spot was delightful and perfect for a couple. While there was an AC in the bedroom we never needed to use it. There were a couple of spots to eat close by so we never needed to cook. There was also some lovely hiking and beaches not too far away. The road to the home is very rocky and am SUV or other high riding car is essential. The owners of the home lives above us, which was not obvious from the description, but we hardly saw each other! All in all a wonderful place

Paradise!
We had an amazing time staying at Starlit Escape in Coral Bay. It is a beautiful home set in the jungle after an adventurous drive. The place was clean, had everything we needed, and perfect for our family of 4 (kids 10, 12). The kids each had their own air mattress which they said were "the best beds ever" and the queen was very comfortable in the bedroom. The porch, deck, pool and hammock were used a lot in the afternoons and evenings, and lizard catching was a favorite for my son. We loved staying in Coral Bay and can't wait to come back!

Wonderful for small families
Starit Escape was a great home-base for our family of 3 during our stay on St. John. The property is meticulously maintained, very clean and well-equipped with everything you’ll need during your stay. You will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to access the property, and cell phone service is almost non-existent on the Coral Bay side of the island, so it will be important to plan on where and when to meet for checking in prior to heading to the Coral Bay area. We truly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood setting, and all of the amenities Starlit Escape offered.

A magical property and experience of St. John's beauties
The owners of the property have put so much heart and love into the land. It is a unique place on St. John in that is has a flat and beautifully landscaped piece of earth. We enjoyed picking fresh fruit every day and watching the tropical flowers open and greet the day. We know St. John very well and enjoyed the peaceful offerings that Coral Bay had to share. This is an older house but had all the comforts we needed. When things popped up that we wanted addressed the owners were quickly responsive. I would highly recommend this for the traveler looking for a quiet getaway to share in St. John's beauties. And in all honesty, although Coral Bay is more tucked away, it truly is not an inconvenience while on vacation to do a slight bit more driving to get back into town where you would find more amenities. (And we enjoyed getting away from the business that Cruz Bay brings). It is probably the same driving distance to North Shore beaches as from Cruz Bay. The views from the roads are beautiful and we found the beaches on this side of the island to be more accessible now than they historically had been.

1st time back since 2016, and that was way too long!
This house met all of our needs, coming home and cooling off in the pool was nice in the evenings. Was awesome to see all the different plants and trees in the yard. Would def recommend this house anyone looking for a nice, clean private house close to town and all the beautiful beaches of St. John!

Host profile image
After moving to St John in 1999, I knew I was home. A year and half later, I met Angie while she was on vacation in St John. She moved in and we have been married ever since. Our baby Avalene was born here in 2012. Our home has been a passion for us for years. We have rented to over 300 different parties so far and have made life long friends through it. We endeavor to make sure you are comfortable during your stay and get everything you hope for out of the trip. Please always feel free to reach out to us for any reason during your stay be it for something you need at the home or for our years of island knowledge

Why they chose this property

This home is located in a secret valley in Coral Bay; La La Land. Its hard to find for most and many people who have lived on island for years do not even know it exists. After winding in on the road, when you come up to the house you will understand this oasis in the jungle. The landscaped grounds, and natural surroundings are magical and the home is well thought out. From Coral Bay (5 mintues drive) it is easy to access both the North and South Shore beaches as well as the East End and all of the hiking trails between. This is truly a central location on St John. Because we are owner/operators we have been able to keep our prices down and our service level up for years as many of our repeat guests will tell you.
