About Woody Pool
Joan and I live in Kansas City, Mo. Joan is an Registered Nurse and I am a retired Police Detective. Between our travels to St. John and our 5 grandkids, we stay pretty busy.
Woody Pool purchased this villa in 2006
Why Woody Pool chose Coral Bay
While on a cruise to St. Thomas in 1997, we took a day sail and the captain recommended we try St. John. The next year we took his advise and went to St. John our first time. We feel in love with the island and traveled back many times before we bought the lot that Blue Palm Villa sits on in 2000. In December 2004, we started the building process, completing it in December 2006.
What makes this villa unique
We stayed at many villas during our travels to St. John and during the building process. We took notes of the things that we liked most about each villa. We wanted great views, easy access, beautiful landscapping with lots of palm trees. We wanted the villa to look like a home, not a rental property. We kept these thouhgts in mind when we began the building process. Our villa is in Upper Carolina and there is easy access. We have breath taking views of the sailboats in Coral Bay Harbor as well as panoramic views of the Bordeaux Mountain range and valley. Our furnishings are island themed, with many items coming from various islands that we have traveled to. Our staff has been with us since we began renting in 2006. They take very good care of the villa as well as making sure that the villa is ready for each guest.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed here for 6 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely. The view from the villa is absolutely amazing and breathtaking! Waking up and looking at the beautiful Coral Bay will stay in my memory forever. The location was perfect - we were close to North beaches, Salt Pond area, and East End (each area around 10-20 min from villa). The property was well maintained with all amenities. The house is well built with two separate living quarters. One bedroom is near the spacious kitchen, and the the other two are on the other side of the pool. We only used the pool in the evening after coming home from the beach - but it was still good. The property had gas grill along with the charcoal (we only used gas), it has air conditioning in each room. However, we got to use it rarely as it was quite cool at night, and some nights were very rainy. One word of advice - please rent a jeep as some roads are quite steep, and after the rain, the roads were slippery. The owners, Woody and Joan, were extremely helpful with timely responses, and it was easy to communicate with them. When we had a little trouble with the WiFi when we arrived, Woody personally called the house and made sure that we connected. Coming back home and seeing the blue shutters of the Blue Palm from the Centerline road was such a welcoming sign. We fell in love with this beautiful island and Blue Palm Villa - a choice you won't regret!

Fabulous!
I went with my husband, my daughter and niece and nephews (7 of us in total) all from ages 18-23. My husband and I had our own section of the house with a kitchen, full bath and beautiful view. There was more than enough room for all of us. The pictures do not do justice for the house. The views were absolutely amazing and the pool looked over the entire island. Having a pool was the perfect addition for days we didn't want to go to the beach, though the beaches were easy to get to and close to the villa. The house was fully stocked with ANYTHING you would need. We had an issue with our rental car when we arrived and the liaison of the house, Loren, got us an 8 passenger vehicle right away. She was wonderful to work with. They also came in halfway during the week to clean the pool. I would recommend this home anywhere from a party of 2 to a party of 8.

Great time at Blue Palm Villa end of February/early March. The home is well laid out, with two units separate from the main house ideal for three couples. All units are well stocked and maintained. We had an issue with a cycle on the clothes washer and Erickson, responsible for maintenance issues, responded immediately. The views from the villa are great, and its location makes for easy access to both Coral Bay and to Mayo and the other beaches in that area. The owners, the Pools, were great to work with; they even arranged to return a shaving kit I left there. Recommend Blue Palm Villa most highly.
Incredible Villa and Owners
My extended family of 7 and I vacationed at the beautiful Blue Palm Villa from 1/17-1/25. To say that the view is breathtaking would be an understatement. The pictures truly don't do this villa justice. The accommodations were fantastic. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, making it easy to prepare meals to be shared on the deck with views that are second to none.
We were traveling with a 3 year old which I was a bit nervous about but the property was very safe.
The rooms are very spacious. Although you are on the same property, the separation of each room allows for ample privacy and comfort.
The pool was very clean and refreshing after a day spent in the sun!
There are multiple beaches (maho and salt pond were our favorite) and restaurants (aqua bistro, indigo grill, skinny legs) within convenient driving distance from the villa.
Loren, the greeter, was very communicative and helpful and lead us to the villa on the first day, making navigating the island much easier.
I can honestly say that Joan and Woody (the owners of the villa) were one of the best aspects of our trip. On the second to last day of our trip, we received a call from American Airlines that our flight home had been cancelled due to a blizzard that crippled the entire east coast. We were left with no way home and no where to stay for a night. I spoke with Woody and he confirmed that he and Joan would be arriving at the villa on our day of departure but that we were welcome to stay in the other two rooms until we could find a way home. Their understanding and generosity is not something you come across very often and we are eternally grateful for their kindness.
Thank you Joan and Woody, for a vacation filled with memories that will last a lifetime!
Amazing location
The view from the house is spectacular. We were a family of 5 and the layout of the house worked perfectly. The house has everything you need and is a short distance to the beaches and restaurants in Coral Bay and not too far from Cruz Bay. Loren the liaison was accessible and very helpful. Truly a memorable trip ! Did I mention the view ? from the house, from the pool...miss it :)
Delightful vacation rental.
The Blue Palm Villa is simply amazing. It is comfortable, extra clean, convenient, and well stocked. The owners were accommodating and gracious. The views are amazing and the pool allows you to take them in even more. Coral bay is (in our opinion) the preferred side of the island given it's less touristy flavor and authenticity. The restaurants there are superb and are all nearby. We will definitely be back! Thank you guys for sharing your beautiful home.
Girls Trip
What a view to wake up to every morning! We enjoyed everything about our trip. Blue Palm Villa is a great place to stay on St John. You can relax by the pool with fantastic views of Coral Bay and the National Park mountains or sit out on the large front deck enjoying the view. The landscape around the villa is beautiful and lots of space for each of us to enjoy. We ate breakfast every morning outside and made our plans for the day. Everything you need is close by. We enjoyed the short drive to great restaurants and all the beaches. The week past by so fast we are planning a longer stay next time. Blue Palm Villa is a great place to stay for a Ladies getaway from such a busy life. I would like to Thank the owners also for all the helpful information given to us about of stay.
