About Vicky Daly

We are John and Vicky and are veterinarians in Virginia. We honeymooned on St John at Caneel in 1993 and have now returned over 100 times. We love to sail, snorkel, and listen to the sea breeze and surf just outside our panoramic windows at Beach Walk. Our daughter and dog also love Beach Walk. Especially exploring all the coral along the shore, finding hermit crabs, and spotting iguanas in the trees.

Vicky Daly purchased this villa in 2005
Why Vicky Daly chose Chocolate Hole

One of St John's best locations due to being located adjacent to a magnificent Tropical Reef. Very convenient to groceries, shopping, restaurants, Cruz Bay, and the north shore beaches.

What makes this villa unique

Kayaks and Snorkel gear free of charge. Beach Walk is a rare find being located of some of St John's most beautiful waters. Swim and snorkel and kayak without always having to drive somewhere. The sounds and sights are remarkable at our waterside villa.

Felt like home in Chocolate Hole

5 of 5
Submitted: April 16, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Beachwalk was fantastic. We felt at home the moment we arrived and both the owners and on-island villa representatives were professional and a pleasure to work with. After a long day at the north shore beaches, we relaxed in the hot tub, snorkled outside the house (which has incredible reef life) and enjoyed the view of the sun setting over Chocolate Hole from the patio right on the water. The house is well equipped and included everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Our kids especially enjoyed the iguanas surrounding the property. Note that the entry into the water behind the house is technically challenging due to rocks and urchins, but with care, you'll can get in fine and enjoy some of the best snorkeling on the island, all to yourself. Convenient to Cruz Bay including the grocery stores, Dolphin and Starfish Markets. We'll be back.

Amazing vacation home

Beach walk house is everything we hoped it would be and more. It was right on the beautiful bay and great snorkeling right out the door. We took the kayaks out, walked on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful view every day. It is very close to town, a clean, beautiful place to relax. If you enjoy a quiet, clean spacious house then this is the place for you. We enjoyed every minute, and it felt like our own welcoming home after only a day. Steve and Lisa were wonderful at getting us settled in and there for us if we had a question. Would love to come every year!!

Peaceful private waterfront home close to town

5 of 5
Submitted: March 27, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
What a special place. All the amenities you need are here with some rare perks as well, like being right on the shore and hearing the waves break throughout the night. When we arrived, we were escorted by a lovely couple, Steve and Lisa, to get a lay of the land, help with our jeep rental, and welcome us to the house. First-off, our kids (and us) were so excited to have iguanas nearby to watch- free entertainment! Other highlights included: lots of great snorkeling gear to share at the house, a nice grill to use (upon a small in-the-trees deck frequented by hummingbirds), laundry, iphone compatible radios, and a private location, close to town, but quiet.
The waterfront proximity is a treasure. We used one of the kayaks to get out past the rocks and go snorkeling with our 3 kids on day one, and on day two walked down the path to a Beach spot where we could snorkel some more.
Notes: Beds were comfy, home clean and well-maintained. We haven't used the a/c (nice breeze and lots of fans), the plumbing works great, the house has a nice relaxed feeling. What really made us feel welcome, was having all the amenities we needed present when we arrived, and then being able to restock as needed throughout the week. Enjoy!
P.S. snorkeling/beach favorites--Salt Pond Bay, Jumbie, and Hawksnest beaches.
Restaurant favs-Morgan's Mango, Skinny Legs in Coral Bay, grilling out at the house!

Great Island Home---Relaxing and Fun

5 of 5
Submitted: March 14, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We are one week into our two week stay at Beach Walk. We are two couples this week and we have enjoyed ourselves immensely. As I write this, I am sitting on the lower deck only 20' from the water on Chocolate Hole. The sound of the surf right outside our windows has provided us with a very soothing soundtrack to our mornings and evenings. The living area is just as pictured. It is very comfortable for lounging, cooking, and eating. The beds are comfortable. We have yet to turn on the AC as the ocean breeze has kept this island home comfortable. The snorkeling is good out in the bay with a good variety of fish of different shapes, colors and sizes. Bring your water shoes for the rocks. The grocery stores are just a couple of minutes away, as are all the terrific restaurants in Cruz Bay. And there are some outstanding restaurants in Cruz Bay! The string of world famous North Shore beaches are just a few minutes the other side of town. As I write this, I think I've reminded myself how awesome Beach Walk really is.

The house was perfect, clean and well maintained. AC kept it cool during the late afternoons, but was not needed in the AM. The beds were very comfortable. The view is fantastic. The grounds are inhabited by a great variety of wild-life. If you wake up with bug bites just shut the windows while you sleep to keep the no-see-ums out- they come through the screens. It took me awhile to figure this out since we had been enjoying the tropical breezes while we slept. We saw octopus, crabs, and a multitude of fish while snorkeling right out from the house. The shrimp and jellyfish were fun to watch at night in the pond. We enjoyed the kayaks, and our kids loved the hot tub which was also well maintained. The north shore beaches can be accessed fairly easily to anyone with a suitable vehicle and the grocery store was a short drive. The owner was very professional and made sure we were ok with some construction being done on the first floor of the building before proceeding. (There is a separate unit downstairs.) The man doing the renovations was very quiet and considerate when planning his work, where to park, etc. He was also a nice guy and a good source of information about the island. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to rent in St John.
