Coral Bay Vacation Rental cabin

My husband and I just returned from our 10 day stay at CC. The villa is just as described on the website. It was clean, well maintained and location to surrounding attractions perfect. The views were awesome, the balcony at night could not be beat! We saw more shooting stars then ever in my life and the full moon was incredible. The singing of the tree frogs and crickets went on until daybreak at which time you then heard the happy chirping of the yellow sugar birds gathering around demanding more sugar in their feeder! And you also had the crazy white cat yowling for attention and food! He was funny and a welcome visitor! Although the cabin is small it was more than adequate and very quaint.The new shower downstairs is so incredible! Yes, getting in and out of bed was a bit of an exercise in agility (not for elder or disabled folks) but just added to the uniqueness of the place! The view while laying in bed was wonderful! We would be up with the sun at 6:15 and out exploring the many beaches by 8:00 am each day-returning to CC late in the afternoon to enjoy the cool breezes, drinks on the deck and relaxing! Dining in Coral Bay was a bit limited but all very good and close by the CC. The owners were wonderful! The passion that she has for the island cannot be concealed! She was very helpful with arrangements and info prior to our arrival. We were lucky enough to meet her in person and her enthusiasm of her property and the island was infectious to say the least! She also sent us home with some sea salt from salt pond that she had collected herself. I would recommend CC for young adventurous people! It was very private and quiet and everything you could hope for! It is not on a busy road where cars/trucks/buses go by which is very important to us. St. John and the CC was a very memorable vacation and the snorkeling and beaches are the best! Be sure to rent a 4x4 vehicle so you can explore from sun up to sun down! And remember to keep left! ha!

Having been to St John on day trips from St Thomas while on cruises, we decided to spend a week here, as this is one of our favorite islands. Upon reading all the great reviews and checking out the many pictures and descriptions, we decided this could be just the place to relax. We were not disappointed! So as not to rehash all the beach and restaurant reviews I will 2nd all the previous choices.
In summary, if you are looking for a 4 star resort this is not the place, if a cozy,relaxing,peaceful,million dollar view setting is what you seek then look no further. Sue was great and easy to work with and we look forward to a return visit. Thanks Sue!

I have been coming to St. John for eight years or so. I have stayed all over the island in all kinds of places. Captain's Cabin is perfect. It was easy to see that the property is treasured by the owners. CC is clean. The outside of property is well groomed (vegetation grows crazy during the rainy season). The whole set up is extremely user friendly and well thought, example: when you need a hook for your towel - it's there! The kitchen has any and every tool / appliance that you will need. The new second bathroom is awesome! If only I had a view like that when I shower at home...

As for the scenery and atmosphere, CC cannot be beat. Breakfast on the deck before heading to the beach is all the motivation you need for a fantastic day on St. John. If you are smart, you will spend a day sailing on the Shakti with Sue and Dan. If you love the water, it will be the best day of your vacation. Sailing does not get much better. What a beautiful boat and there are not two better people to spend the day with sailing. If you are lucky, they might let you drive!

Coral bay is great little town. Very low key and relaxed place. There are all kinds of local friends to be made. Have fun and remember to slow down and enjoy your trip before its gone.
