About this villa rental
Cliffhanger's dramatic waterfront location is beyond special. Perched above the clear blue Caribbean Sea with turtles and rays visibly swimming by and the moon rise reflecting off the subtle waves you will instantly become one of our dedicated repeat guests. There is simply no better place to sit than on Cliffhanger's sprawling decks. The 3 bed 4 bath was remodeled and newly furnished in the fall of 2022. Easy access, AC in bedrooms and all of the amenities make this the perfect rental
Dramatically perched 60 ft. over the calm Caribbean Sea, 'Cliffhanger' presents stunning views across Coral Harbor, into Hurricane Hole and beyond to the BVI. This waterfront villa offers everything new; a new modern full kitchen with all the amenities, new bathrooms with stunning detail, and all new furniture, appliances, and electronics. 'Cliffhanger' is ideal for couples and perfect for families, as it comfortably accommodates up to 6 adults guests with its 3 air conditioned bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The master bedroom, kitchen, extra bathroom and living space is located on the main level and can accommodate extra kids in the living room if needed. The other two bedrooms, king or two twins and a queen, each with their own entrance on the lower deck, can be reached via an exterior staircase. Having our home set up this way allows us to offer the master bedroom alone or in combination with either one or two of the downstairs bedrooms. Gaze into the mesmerizing blue and watch boats from all parts of the globe as they glide through the turquoise waters of Coral Bay Harbor. Spot turtles and sting rays from the sprawling dramatic deck or cheer on sailboat races from the comfort of your hammock. You will completely relax at Cliffhanger.
'Cliffhanger' is located waterfront to Coral Bay with surf sounds around the entire property. From the villa you can easily access the Virgin Islands National Park and white sand beaches for hiking, water sports such as sailing, snorkeling, or diving, or just plain lounging on the beach. The Village of Coral Bay is just under 1/2 mile away, with many shops, restaurants, bars, and access to an array of adventurous activities. 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.
Conveniently located with paved access to the front door, high speed internet, soft linens, spacious decks both in the sun and in the shade, big blue ocean views from every room, and lush outdoor environment; these are but a few of the features that make 'Cliffhanger' the perfect choice for your St. John vacation.

Our first time on St. John. Everything was perfect, optimum location between north and south beaches, house is beautifully placed right on bay shore, equipped with absolutely everything you would need during the stay. Close to shops and restaurants, communication with host also great, having a greater lead us from the dock and giving a tour of the house was really helpful. We had a great time!

This was our first stay in St. John and we couldn’t have had a better experience with this villa. The property management team was perfectly on time with each communication, very responsive, and made it very easy. The property was very very clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and there was lots of room for our party of 5 to spread out. Stunning views, beautifully decorated. Very highly recommend to anyone.

Great views, very clean and nice property. Ok now the bad. Mosquito’s galore. They must be getting in through the screens or the floor. We spent most nights killing 20 to 30 in the main master room. Also the main room with kitchen is not air conditioned. Makes it a real problem when that is the main room family gathers. Also not kid friendly if you need the other rooms for kids beings they are on the second floor away from the main house. Other than chasing mosquitoes every night and being sweaty while we ate this place was great.

Beautiful views and comfy beds
This property was great ! All the previous reviews were correct in saying the pictures don’t do it justice. Beds were really cozy and kitchen has everything needed for your stay. Parking is tight on a main road so if you can squeeze your guests into one car that is definitely recommended !

Nothing short of spectacular!
Nothing short of spectacular! I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Cliffhanger. The pictures and descriptions online do not do it justice. It is everything advertised and then some. The location is absolutely perfect for those who want to be close to grocery and dining in the smaller quieter area of Coral Bay. We were literally minutes away to a grocery store in either direction. Snorkling at the rocky entry below was fun and easy with reef to the left and right. The views were Breathtaking and the entire house promoted utter relaxation. Jared, Keri and Clare were amazing at communicating and providing us with everything we needed. Easy check in and check out process. We would not hesitate to stay again and cannot wait till our next trip! Thank you!

Cliffhanger! A perfect house in Coral Bay.
This house was amazing. Views are incredible. Great location to beaches, hiking, etc. but much quieter than the Cruz Bay side of the island.
The house is very comfortable. The deck is fabulous. Kitchen is nicely furnished with plenty of cookware and utensils. I especially appreciated that enough basic supplies was provided for our entire stay (toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, etc.).
I would love to stay here again!

Great Stay in St John
We had a wonderful time at Cliffhanger. It was our second stay and just as wonderful as the first. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals to enjoy on the spacious deck. New beach chairs and beach towels/totes were provided for our daily beach trips. Everything about the house was perfect! We hope to return soon!

Paradise!
Wow is a under statement! Property description and pictures were spot on. The 2 decks were our favorite place to just relax and the views were awesome. Loved having the sunrise in the mornings. House was very well stocked with all the utensils we needed. The day we arrived our greeter was waiting for us and was so nice and showed us all around and all the details. Keri was great with helping with all my questions and helpful with information about the island and rentals. We had 2 boys 8 & 11 and a girl 13 and the rooms worked out perfectly for them. They loved having the ring game on their deck as well. The house is close to restaurants and several grocery markets which was very convenient. We hope to stay here again soon.

Cliffhanger
The cliffhanger was a wonderful experience for our family. The house is well stocked and everything you need, plus more, is there. It is in an area convenient to all the beautiful beaches. Out only suggestions would be. To invest in a generator as we lost power 2 days during our stay and it was very hot and we had no water during the outages.

Cliffhanger was Awesome!
First time staying in Coral Bay, and it did not disappoint. Views were amazing. Cliffhanger was perfect for our family of 5. Master on main level. Daughter (13) had her own room and bathroom on lower level. Sons (11, 10) shared room with two twin beds and had their own bathroom also on lower level. Wrap around decks on both levels overlooking bay. Started every day with coffee on deck enjoying the sunrise. Went to sleep every night with doors and windows open so we could hear the waves crashing directly below. House was very clean and well furnished. Would definitely stay here again!

Paradise Found
Cliffhanger was true paradise! Hearing and seeing the beautiful water all day was amazing. Coral Bay was perfectly remote. The layout of the house was great for our family of six – together but separate. The grill was in fine working condition – not always the case with vacation properties. Other added touches – beach towels, bags, cooler, chairs and noodles. I can’t thank Jared enough for going above and beyond on our arrival. We reserved, in advance, a rental car at the airport only to discover they were out of cars. We did not have a backup plan. Jared responded immediately, reserved a car on St John on our behalf and gave us instructions to take a taxi to the ferry. Things were smooth sailing from there on out. Woo meet us in Coral Bay to take us to the property and give us the house tour – very helpful. We did not want to leave!

Stunning views and charming home
The home was lovely-lots of great touches throughout. Very nice kitchen that was good for our group to hang out in. The only small issue was that there was not any shampoo in any of the bathrooms. Other than that the house really had everything-kitchen was well stocked with pans etc and lots of beach towels and bathing towels too.

Amazing views, excellent condition, great service.
Thank you to Jared and Austin for such great service! The home exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend Cliffhanger to anyone, especially a family with young kids. Our 3 children (ages 8-13) had a wonderful time spotting 2ft long iguanas in the trees as they lounged in the hammock and hammock chairs on the decks after our daily snorkeling excursions. (I think we visited 7 beaches in total, each with their own unique character!) Salt Pond Bay is a short drive away with excellent snorkeling. There, we swam with sea turtles, floated above stingrays, befriended a few barracudas, chillaxed with a squad of small squid, and saw much other flora and fauna during our snorkeling adventures. Definitely a life-long family memory for the record books. We were thankful for the cool A/C bedrooms too! A few things about the "above and beyond" service. Austin met us at the docks and patiently waited at the car rental place and then led us over and gave us a personal tour of the house. On the second day, the control unit on the dishwasher went out. ( I figured it was my penance because I promised my wife I would do the dishes the entire week. Hand washing and drying dishes for 7 takes getting used to. ) However, I texted Jared and Austin and they answered within minutes and installed a new control unit by the time we returned from snorkeling the very next day! (I was ecstatic, my wife thought I got off too easy) I can tell you, for an island where everything has it's relaxed island time, this repair service was incredible. Jared also recommended Flyaway Charters for a full-day private charter around the island which to sum that experience up in one word I would say ...Magical! Captain Jeremy was an awesome guide, a great storyteller, an experienced captain, and was very generous of spirit. Learning about pirate history, snorkeling at "hidden" spots, and clowning around at Lime Out floating taco bar were all part of our fun day on (and in) the crystal blue waters of St. John.
5 Stars from us! Thanks!

Family Vacation
Staying at Cliffhanger was a great experience! We appreciated Austin meeting us at the ferry and helping get our rental car and then Jared taking us to the property. The house was extremely clean, and the kitchen had everything you would ever need. The view was beautiful, and we enjoyed seeing the sting rays and nurse sharks every day. The location was perfect for the beaches and local restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful vacation for our family!!

Beautiful spot
This was our second time on St John and the seven of us spent 9 days at Cliffhanger and thoroughly enjoyed the house and the views. The house was exactly what we wanted and was very well maintained and decorated. Great location and we felt very well taken care of. You will not be disappointed with this house!

St.John's break
Very nicely and completely appointed home; clean and welcoming. Met by agent's representative Andy in Cruz Bay at the ferry and led to the house which was very helpful.
State road # 10 is full of potholes from Cruz Bay to Coral Bay and would ask them to bring you on Road #20 which is maintained by the National Park system and only about 2 miles longer in duration but a much more pleasant drive.
The views from the home are beautiful and the beaches exquisite; restaurants in Cruz
Bay better than in Coral Bay, but many quaint and quiet features of Coral Bay that were lovely, including the donkeys, goats and chickens that wander freely but not intrusively.
Definitely St. John is a better choice for beauty and peacefulness than St. Thomas.
Generally speaking, the accommodations and the ease of dealing with the HomeAway system has been very straightforward and problem free.

Perfect!!!
We stayed at Cliffhanger the first week in January. The house is perfect! The views from the decks are amazing and we loved going down and sitting on the dock. We saw a nurse shark, a turtle and a ray! The house is beautiful and was equipped with everything we needed for the week - coolers, beach chairs, shade tent, beach towels and kitchen essentials. The beds are comfortable and the each bedroom has en suite bath which worked out perfectly for our party. There is even a fourth full bath off the kitchen. Jared, the property manager, was very helpful. Coral Bay is nice and quiet but with good restaurants and a grocery store nearby and only 30 minutes from Cruz Bay. We hiked, explored the beaches and took a day trip with Captain Jug on his beautiful boat, the Juggerknot - highly recommend this! It was the highlight of our trip. This property is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to visit again!!!

Cliffhanger is Heavenly!
We loved our holiday week in this truly beautiful spot! We slept to the sounds of the ocean, and woke to ever-changing light and views from the two decks.
The house is well-designed to provide both togetherness and privacy for family members. Every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and all have access to the glorious decks. Thanks to the exceptionally well-equipped kitchen, we prepared many of our meals at home. Indoor and outdoor furniture was all comfortable, and there were multiple hammocks for lounging. A short climb down rock stairs leads to a shaded seating area near the water.
Cliffhanger is the best vacation home rental we have ever enjoyed! Great base for exploring St. John’s, and wonderful place for a family gathering!

Cliffhanger is Awesome!
The picture display on the website is accurate - you get what you see. The villa is gorgeous, everything is comfortable and easy. Any little problems were quickly attended. We appreciated the parking deck with beautiful entry and lockable gate. We had northerly views into Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole, iguanas lounging in the tree tops, many small lizards scurrying about, frogs nestled in cubbies, and waves gently caressing the shore. Many sights and sounds to please the senses.
This lovely villa combined with the island beauty made our family vacation memorable. We hope to someday return.

Even better than what we were expecting!
My Boyfriend and I stayed at Cliffhanger October 10th through the 16th, and boy, did this place deliver! From the moment we arrived on the island we were met by our Jeep rental company (I highly recommend Courtesy Rentals, they were amazing!). We were brought to the office that was still being redone from the hurricane. However, Jared and his wife Angie met us and we followed them to Cliffhanger. The villa was unbelievably clean and inviting. Literally everything you could think to have in your home away from home was there. The only thing that wasn't up and running was cable, but that's not why you go on vacation! The views were unbelievable every morning, day, and night. We could have just sat on our own deck the whole week and been happy! Staying on Coral Bay side was definitely quieter, but we had plenty of hiking and beach exploration to keep us more than happy and busy! We also did a half day charter, (Flyaway Charters was literally the highlight of our trip, Colin, Leah, and their first mate dog Scuppers were terrific and super knowledgeable!) There was still some damage from the hurricane you could see in places, but overall the island and the people are recovering and we cannot wait to come back and see even more of the progress this incredible island and those who live there have made! The only negative thing I would have to say was that we wish we would have stayed longer! I highly recommend Jared and his team if staying on Saint John. We had a vacation of a lifetime and cannot wait to come back.

Cliffhanger is a beautiful villa! Just what we needed to relax.
Cliffhanger is located in Coral Bay, the quiet side of the island but everything is within 5-30 minute drive depending on what your looking for. Our family LOVES snorkeling so we experienced 5 different bays & everyone brought something different to the eye! If you like sea turtles Maho Bay is what your looking for!
The accommodations Cliffhanger provided our family members their own bed/bath with AC. The owner Denise was very accommodating as well as Jared the property manager. They went above and beyond making our stay the best ever! Thank you for sharing your villa!

Beautiful house, stunning views, wonderfully functional kitchen, AC in each bedroom a big plus.
Great stay for our family of 4. The island is still in the midst of a great deal of clean up, but the house is in great condition and the beaches (with fewer trees for shade, and less crowded now) are still gorgeous. Snorkeling was wonderful. Everything one would need is available. Can’t wait to return, and would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved this home in Coral Bay! Could not have been more perfect.
Cliffhanger was fantastic! A beautiful home with amazing views and everything needed to make us feel comfortable. From coffee on the gorgeous deck in the morning to enjoying the serenity of listening to the ocean at night, we could not have been more pleased with our stay. Denise was very helpful in answering all of my questions before we arrived and I feel as if I have made a new lifelong friend! Jared met us when we got there and was available in case we needed anything, which we did not, as everything you can think of is at your fingertips!
From chairs, coolers, and towels to take to the beach to a nice coffee maker and all kitchen essentials, Cliffhanger left us wanting for nothing.
The beauty and privacy of this home are second to none!
The exterior of the house has clearly been swept/treated for insects, which we greatly appreciated. Enjoying the decks and outdoor shower without worrying about spider webs, spiders, and other bugs was a nice treat compared to other properties we have stayed at on the islands. The breeze from the ocean also made enjoying evenings on the deck without mosquitoes very nice! Cliffhanger also has air conditioning in the bedroom, which was fantastic for a cool night’s sleep after long days on the beautiful beaches of St. John.
I can’t say enough good things about Denise, Jared, and Cliffhanger! We felt welcome before we even arrived and at home the minute we got there. I literally cried when we left and absolutely cannot wait to go back. I highly recommend Cliffhanger to anyone considering a trip to St. John. An absolutely picture perfect home with all of the amenities, my entire family is already planning our next stay.

Great Views, Super Well Maintained Property
We found everything with Cliffhanger to be well maintained and clean, with every amenity you could want for your stay both in the kitchen and in general. We especially appreciated that the house came with an umbrella for the beach which, due to the storms, is necessary if you expect to have any shade. The owners were incredibly responsive to questions and the person who greeted us couldn't have been any more friendly or helpful. When we did have one minor issue with the wifi we got a response within minutes of our text and resolved the issue. Overall we couldn't have been happier with our stay.
