About this villa rental

Tucked into the lush mountainside above Coral Bay, behind an electronic gate, Great Turtle Villa is a casually elegant vacation villa with four bedrooms in two two-story pavilions bisected by a pool.

Great Turtle Villa is accessed via all paved roads, a rare amenity on St. John and very welcome in a tropical downpour. It is located in the comfortable, upscale neighborhood of Upper Carolina. Surrounding homes are on large lots hidden by lush foliage which provides lots of privacy. Enter Great Turtle Villa's drive through an electronic gate which not only adds extra privacy and security but it also keeps the wild donkeys out!

The front door opens onto the larger pavilion's main level which contains the attractive living and dining areas and the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with a marble-topped work table and breakfast bar. In the living area, a flat-screen TV, stereo, DVD, plus music and video libraries, provide indoor entertainment. The fully-equipped kitchen boasts stainless appliances, granite counters and enough dishes, bake ware and pans to satisfy the most particular chef. Hand-polished mahogany screened french doors open onto spacious shaded decks with cushy rockers and inviting chaises perfect for enjoying the cool trade winds. An outdoor walkway above the pool and courtyard garden leads to the other pavilion with its master bedroom suite. An open staircase heads down beside the garden, passing exquisite orchids and a stately coconut palm, as it leads to the pool level with three more bedrooms and a home office.

All four equal size bedrooms open onto large decks with dazzling views, have AC, adjoining baths and walk-in closets making Great Turtle Villa a perfect vacation rental for friends or families to share. No one gets stuck in the "back bedroom with no view". The pool, just steps from your bedroom, is perfect, from a morning dip to a midnight swim. The lush courtyard garden ensures total privacy for swimming or sunning on the deck. When children are present, to keep them safe, self-locking gates around the pool can be utilized. The home office is equipped with high-speed internet, WiFi, a printer, and copier.

Just minutes from fabulous National Park beaches and the funky bars and restaurants of Coral Bay, this villa's central location allows easy access to both sides of St. John. Cruz Bay is only a 20 minute drive away and all the best hiking trails are within easy reach.

Everything about Great Turtle invites you to relax. Spend the day in the cushy rockers on the deck or let your cares slip away as you lounge by the pool. The Caribbean-style decor offers a comfortable mix of inviting antiques and pleasant elegance. The villa's lush tropical gardens are filled with birds-of-paradise, scarlet bougainvillea and rainbow-colored hibiscus. Slice a papaya for breakfast or pick your own lime for cocktails. But it's the awe-inspiring view - sparkling white sails bobbing on turquoise water in Coral Bay, shimmering islands on the horizon, the ever-changing greens on the verdant hills of Bordeaux Mountain, the speckled browns of sugar mill ruins peeking through the foliage of Carolina Valley - that you will carry forever in the memory of your visit to St. John and Great Turtle Villa!

As one guest from Connecticut said, "I travel the world for my work and have seen many beautiful places, but, I must say, your home and the view of Coral Bay tops them all!"

The views from the villa are outstanding. The location is perfect being a short distance from both Coral Bay and the north shore beaches. Property management team was easy to work with.

We chose this as our vacation house because of the beautiful views and stellar reviews. Although we encountered a series of unfortunate events (like most vacations due) this adventure was well spent and enjoyed. Special thanks to the property management company and the wonderful support and service received by Tyler and Roxanne at Antares!

Perfect place for our group of 8, loved the pool and view! Great communication with the owner. Well stocked kitchen. Rented car was necessary (we rented from St John Car Rental) to visit Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, and Hawks Nest beaches which were all great! Lime Out taco bar was our favorite. We saw 2 rainbows over Coral Bay from the house!

My family loves this part of St. John since it’s closer to the beaches and away from Cruz Bay. Coral Bay is more local and low key. Great Turtle’s linear design is excellent for views and gives all the bedrooms privacy. The property is well maintained and provisioned, and the management company was very responsive.

Felt so at home - the views of the sunrise and sunset from the deck was amazing - we'd go to the beach during the day and make it back for dinner and amazing sunsets - perfect! Thanks

We really enjoyed our stay at this home….it’s a beautiful property with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our party of six. We loved the pool and were thankful for air conditioning in the bedrooms. The only caveat was no A/C in the living area….even with the windows open and fans on, it was too warm to gather there in the evenings, so we hung out on the porch where there was plenty of island breeze. Overall had an amazing stay!

Great Turtle was the perfect spot for our family. The views of Coral Bay are incredible and we spent most of our time, when we were at the house, sitting on the deck enjoying the view and the breeze. The kids spent most of their time in the pool. We had great communication from the property management team from booking through the end of our stay. We found this to be one of the most well-stocked properties we've ever stayed in. There was nothing we needed that we couldn't find in the house. The location really can't be beat. Close to the shops/restaurants of Coral Bay and only a 10-15 minute drive to the beaches. We really couldn't have selected a better property for our vacation and we'll definitely book again!
