Photos and Description of the Coral Bay vacation house rental
1BR Oceanview Vacation Rental St. John, Virgin Islands USA

Astral Ridge is a rare find. To be able to enjoy this sublime view from sunrise to moonrise, from such an elegantly beautiful home is transporting. The classic Caribbean style of this home is enhanced by beautiful tropical garden areas and lacks no amenity. The courtyard welcomes the visitor to enjoy a sunny afternoon beside a tranquil stone-edged swimming pool or to enjoy a good book from the shade of the covered porch. This newly built home consists of two buildings on either side of the courtyard. On one side is a lovely bedroom with a four poster bed that looks out over the open-air hot tub, Caribbean Sea and nearby islands. There is a large, well-appointed bathroom with interior and exterior showers. Across the courtyard, you will find the living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as a second bath. The mahogany kitchen is a beautifully designed blend of modern convenience and inviting charm. The dining room looks out over one of the nicest views to be found on the island.

The Coral Bay location of Astral Ridge is ideal in that it provides the visitor with quiet seclusion while still being close to restaurants and beaches. There are six different restaurants within two miles of the villa ranging from ultra-casual beach side cafes to fine dining. Salt Pond Beach is a few minutes further and offers one of the finest swimming options on the island. Kayaking, sailing, hiking and snorkeling are all nearby and snorkeling gear is provided for your use.

The drive to Astral Ridge includes three quarters of a mile of dirt road. Few cars will pass during the day so your vacation is sure to be a quiet one. The property is shared with Astral Cottage but the two houses share no facilities other than a parking area. The lush gardens provide visibility screening between the houses. The pool and hot tub are one hundred percent private.

My new go to 'happy spot'....my desktop picture...my facebook cover picture...I can't believe we were lucky enough to spend a week at Astral Ridge. We loved staying up for days! Surely the stargazing, the hot tub, the lizard watching, the sea....all kept us in a blissful trance. Miss Lucy's for late lunch and take out...Trunk Bay and Hawksnest beaches...all just incredible. We live in California and the easy trip to Hawaii has kept us from St John for a too long 7 years. Now, we are so hoping we can return to the beauty and bliss of another Astral Ridge stay sooner, so sooner than that! Thank you Susan and Diane...a truly magical, memorable place....

Spectacular Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: December 16, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
Diane and Jenn were awesome during the planning of our vacation and our arrival. They were both very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home right away. Housekeeping had welcomed us with a beautiful vase of tropical flowers and greenery from our gardens.

Words and pictures cannot fully describe the beauty of this place. Although we are from the Carolinas, I must admit that I am spoiled to closed windows and air conditioning in the summertime. After the first night we quickly realized that windows and AC would have ruined this experience. The fresh, cool breezes felt great and the surrounding tropical flowers and trees make the house smell wonderful.

As mentioned by other guests, the driveway is rough and does take some getting used to. By the end of the second day, my husband and I both were managing the 4-wheel drive very well.

I was a little intimidated by the lizards at first but we got along just fine. My husband and I developed an adult beverage that we fondly named 'Lizard-ade'.

We spent many hours just lounging on the patio, in the pool and hot tub and taking in the incredible view. But, we also enjoyed exploring the island. We highly recommend Salt Pond Bay, Vi's Beach, Overhaul Bay for kayaking with Jenn (yes, the same one) and many other beautiful beaches. We truly enjoyed eating at Shipwreck Landing, Aqua Bistro, Donkey Diner, Miss Lucy's and Skinny Legs.

Coral Bay is on the casual side of St John so we learned very quickly that we packed too many dress up clothes. Next time, and there will be many next times at Astral Ridge, we will pack swimwear, shorts, t-shirts, cover-ups and flip flops.

What a spectacular getaway to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and our 60th Birthdays.

Thank you Susan, Diane and Jenn. We will see y'all again soon.

Outstanding Villa

5 of 5

Words really can not describe this villa. The pictures are spot on. It is a wonderful, romantic sanctuary and you will not be disappointed. It is very secluded and private, even with Astral Cottage directly behind it. The roads do take a bit of getting used to and you will have lots of friendly geckos (lizards) to keep you company. We would not hesitate to visit again.

Astral Ridge is an awesome get-away!

My husband and I just returned from a week at Astral Ridge to celebrate our 50th birthdays! The house was everything and more. Gorgeous view, wonderful amenities, lovely and captivating landscaping(lots of hummingbirds), and ultra private. We love staying in Coral Bay as it is fun and quirky, and close to the best beaches (Francis, Maho, and Salt Pond). We also spent a few days just lounging at the house, relaxing and enjoying the pool and the view, and the stars from the hot tub by night. The house is wonderfully equipped and very comfortable! We cooked the majority of our meals, but enjoyed eating breakfast at Donkey Diner, dinner at Aqua Bistro and Skinny Legs. Great snorkeling at Waterlemon, Francis (turtles!), and Salt Pond. We had an amazing week and look forward to visiting again!

Beyond My Most Elegant Dreams!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 4, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Let me start by saying we'd originally booked Astral Cottage, but to my surprise my honey upgraded us to Astral Ridge! I would've been happy with the cottage, but WOW! Astral Ridge is amazing! When we returned from beach hopping, we went b/t the hot tub and the pool. There were many vanilla rum and root beers consumed here every afternoon. We grilled out twice and soaked up the views.

The views are amazing and the pictures do not do this home justice. It's even more beautiful in person. The vegetation has grown and you cannot see Astral Ridge from the cottage at all. You can see the cottage from the parking area, but not the hot tub and hammock. Complete privacy for both homes.

The kitchen was better equipped than mine at home! Coffee grinder, blender, all utensils you will need. There were spices and other non-perishables left from previous guests as well as some alcohol and mixers. Before you buy these things, I suggest looking at the house first. We liked Starfish Market the best, although Lilly's was good for little things.

The road up is not that bad. I guess being from Mississippi and having experience with "off-roading" we thought it was fun. It poured every night around 0200-0400, but the road was never muddy in the morning.

As far as no airconditioning, I keep my house at 73 degrees in the summer and only got too hot one night. I can probably blame that on too much rum and sun :-). The floor and ceiling fan was enough for us.

I was a little nervous when i found out there werent any locks on the doors, but after the first night I never really thought about it again. I live outside a city with a ridiculous crime rate and it was nice to sleep with the windows open and enjoy it. There's a safe to lock your valuables in. I must warn you about the 2 peeping toms I encountered EVERY NIGHT in the shower. As soon as I turned on the light, Larry and Leonard the lizards would hop on the window sill and eat the bugs that were coming to the light while I showered! Tell me lizards aren't smart. I miss them.

Diane called and checked on us when she could catch us at the villa. Jen was wonderful with suggestions and surprising me with the upgrade!

From Skinny Legs, to Miss Lucy's, to Francis Bay to the Stinky Donkey Dip and the morning rush hour of goats, I enjoyed every second of my stay at Astral Ridge. Unfortunately we have to skip a year before returning, but I would not hesitate to stay here again and have already recommended it to others!
