About this villa rental

Now featuring a commercial-grade generator for power backup! There have been significant power disruptions territory-wide but not here! Welcome back to Bambooshay, St. John! We are so happy to have Bambooshay again after a long three years since it was lost to Hurricane Irma. Bigger, better and much stronger than before, Bambooshay Villa has all the amenities of a luxury hotel but without the crowds!

This house is more than a vacation rental - it is our home. You will note the exquisite attention to detail we put into every aspect of the new villa when you arrive. We will retire here fully one day but for now we are happy to share it with you!

This two bedroom, two full bath villa is equipped with air conditioning in each bedroom, full sized stainless appliances (refrigerator/freezer, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer), quartz countertops, solid wood cabinets and doors and slate floors. It comes fully stocked with blender, toaster, coffee maker, small food processor, cooking utensils, pots and pans - everything you need to make yourself at home during your stay!

Walk out onto the deck overlooking Coral Bay you and your guests will enjoy soaking in the pool or hot tub, cooking out on the Weber grill or just relaxing with a beverage of your choice while taking in the views.

“Bambooshay” is a Creole word that means “enjoy yourself; have a good time.” Coined during Carnival season in the 1950’s, the word originates from “Bambula,” an old African dance that is carried out today through a unique “second line” dance that is performed to the beat of traditional New Orleans jazz. Revelers during carnival today are often heard yelling out “Bambooshay!” as they partake in the festivities of the season.

In a single word, Bambooshay embodies the spirit and attitude that we have found from the Caribbean to New Orleans, and we truly hope you will enjoy yourself and have a great time on St. John. Bambooshay!

Bambooshay Villa is located on Seagrape Hill in Coral Bay. Turn onto Seagrape Hill Road directly across from the fire station (if you get to Skinny Legs you went too far). Paved all the way up, we are located inside the automatic gate at the first left you can take.

We are ideally located between the best of the north shore beaches and those less travelled on the east end of the island. Your toes can be in the water within 10 minutes drive in either direction!

Book your trip today. St. John awaits you.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bambooshay. Scott and Tammy were wonderful to work with and we plan on staying again whenever we come back to St. John. The villa was nice, clean, and had everything we would need. Our favorite part was the outside area. We spent most of our time while at the villa either hanging on the deck enjoying the beautiful views, swimming, or in the hot tub. My favorite thing about the villa was being able to swim under the stars! Truly felt like a paradise dream!

Peaceful & Private Great quiet location if you want to stay away from the crowds and tourists. Hiking, beaches, and small local family restaurants. Rent your jeep ( a must need) on St Thomas and ferry it over with your food for the week. Tammy, the property mgr. is the best!!!

Bambooshay villa was the perfect getaway for what we enjoy. Perfectly located. Perched high on a hill with all the privacy one could ask for yet easy access to trails, grocery and restaurants. Located on the quiet end of the island. Views from the deck overlooking the perfectly sized infinity pool are world class. Tammy, the property manager, was the perfect host. Top notch communication and always willing to help with anything needed. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Bambooshay! The villa was well decorated and the view was phenomenal! When we were not out and about, we spent hours and hours in the pool, the hot tub and on the deck. Tammy was wonderful to deal with and was so helpful throughout our stay. Great experience - highly recommend!!

The property has two well appointed bedrooms and bathrooms with working AC units. The pool/hot tub are small but perfect for a dip. Perfect location <10 min drive to all the major restaurants in Coral Bay (not super walkable due to the steep incline of the drive up). They also have three snorkel sets, a cooler, and four beach chairs to borrow along with many beach towels. Loved staying on this side of the island and would definitely stay here again!

The house, views, breezes, privacy, and quiet neighborhood exceeded our expectations, but the hot tub was not working properly. The hot tub was a primary reason for booking this villa, so we were quite disappointed that it could not be activated, never got over 95-degrees, and the jets were not working. The pool was unheated and far too cold to be enjoyable. We never did figure out how to control the living/dining room lights (with a remote) without impacting the ceiling light in the bedroom off the kitchen. The property manager, Tammy, was exceptional. She tried to get the hot tub working and treated the water, but it never was clear. She met us at the property and showed us how everything worked, checked in on us via text, took us grocery shopping, and we retained her for a tour of the island. We chose not to rent a vehicle because we were not comfortable driving on the left. It is not feasible to walk up or down Seagrape Hill to catch a bus (unless you are a marathoner), but we found two taxi drivers willing to accommodate us. Keep in mind that fares are per person and ran $15-20 each way, and luggage fees were additional. We would gladly stay at Bambooshay Villa again, IF the hot tub was in working order. We really enjoyed the Coral Bay side of St. John and agreed that having a vehicle is clearly advantageous!

The house is a perfect 2 bedroom 2 bath for 2 couples or family with 2 small children. You’ll need to rent a car as Coral Bay is fairly remote, but the privacy and access to Hanson Bay (14 min), Salt Pond (14 min), Maho (12 min), & Francis Bay (12 min) are both excellent. House is well stocked. We made smoothies daily and hung in the jacuzzi nightly. There is a grocery albeit small and a smattering of eateries. And if interested in Skinny Legs, I’m not sure if you could get closer (Although not walkable for most due to the incline to and from).

Great location and very well stocked home. There are plenty of local bars and restaurants in Coral Bay and you’re a half hour to Cruz Bay. The house manager was communicative and responsive. This is our first time back since Irma and our first time staying in Coral Bay. If you like a little slower side of the island this is the place for you!
