About this villa rental

Sweet Wind is a West Indian style home that sits just above secluded Hurricane Hole.
Easy access off the main road #10 with a paved driveway . There are 32 solar panels and 3 Tesla batteries to supply the power, no WAPA outages. The villa is very private, quiet and secluded, being in the Nat. Park. It's only 1/2 mile from Coral Bay which sports live music most nights, shopping and fine or informal dining. Right below the villa there is a pebble beach with 4 kayaks available to explore the 5 bays that include Hurricane Hole. The snorkeling is good with mangroves and reefs, along with sandy beaches. I designed and built the house in the more traditional West Indian style of 3 individual buildings with large decks connecting them. The main house being the kitchen, living room, and dinning room. There is a bedroom and bathroom attached via a private deck on the West side of the main house. On the East side of the main house there is a 3rd building, housing 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a large deck in between w/ dining table and lounge chairs. All the rooms have amazing views, you feel like you are floating right over the ocean, and this layout makes them very private. A lot of love and care went into designing Sweet Wind. Down stairs there is a 10x20 pool and another vert private bedroom/bath. This is my own private art gallery, with hardwood floors, Purple Heart cabinets, fine dishes, antique furniture, local treasures and a bit of humor. There are two separate decks for complete privacy. One of the showers is outside, built with beautiful rock work. The bedrooms are in separate buildings, or pods which adds to the beauty and privacy. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs near the pool with bathroom and outside shower. There is a lovely grotto behind the villa with an amazing stone retaining wall 9' tall and 100' long running all along the back side, that has the BBQ, orchids, flowers and herbs, and an outside shower. The villa has gates at both entrances that keep the wild donkeys out and children in. You wake up to an amazing sunrise above Hurricane Hole. This is the most protected harbor in the Caribbean, and we look out over the Coral Reef National Monument. There is no overnight mooring allowed in Hurricane Hole unless there is a storm warning, so views are unobstructed. Sweet Wind is very quiet and private but just 1/2 a mile from town and you don't hear all the music and noise from Coral Bay
I think the photos say it all, Nina.

Perfect for a large group. Every room had a view of the water. Felt like home with wonderful artistic touches and art. Always a sweet breeze. Well stocked kitchen. Nina was always happy to answer our questions. A perfect island retreat!

Myself and my three sons (over 40 ) and their significant others spent 6 days at Sweet Winds. We all agreed that we wouldn’t have changed one thing about our vacation. Sweet Winds provided a wonderful place for us to all enjoy each others company as well relax and enjoy nature at it’s best.The beaches and coral reefs that provided magnificent snorkeling opportunities were a daily adventure. There were many nearby restaurants and markets. We mostly enjoyed cooking fresh fish every night from a local market. Nina was a great host and readily available . We all look forward to coming back .

We had an excellent week vacation. two seniors, two kids and two grandkids. Layout with five bedrooms in three separated areas and a large common room kitchen was very good. Two bedrooms with showers, then two outdoor showers. Access to two kayaks on the water was great, but trail is slightly challenging (ok for us). Great view and location. Pool was clean and fun. It is not the Ritz, but certainly comfortable. Owner is next door, and very pleasant. Her dog adopted us, which was perfectly fine with us. The donkey was wild and kept his own schedule. Not air conditioned, but fans provided. One improvement could be having drinking water treated or processed for at least one faucet. Such as an under the sink RO or UV light. Cistern and delivered water was readily available, and filtered, but we chose to purchase bottled water and boil water for consumption. Showers were fine. We would choose the location again.

Our family of seven stayed for 8 days. St john is our go to for a consistently amazing vacation. Beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, dingy rentals, charter boats, hiking, st thomas, BVI, ….. there is an endless variety of outdoor activities. Our family rents a 4wdrive vehicle to have no restrictions…. Coral bay is much more rural than cruz bay. The property we stayed in is absolutely unique in amenities. View, great architectural layout, and kind attentive host. Staying in homes on st John you are certain to get an “outside a resort” experince that is priceless. This one exceeded all our kids(9,11,13,15,16) epectations and ours too. There was also an amazing bonus dog that would grace us with his presence when it rained, or when it was bored..

My family had a wonderful stay at Sweet Winds. Amazing location just past Coral Bay with stunning views of Hirricane Hole out past East End and to the BVIs. Stunning sunrises from your room and the patios. Nina, your host, is incredibly helpful and very engaged. Any texts received immediate and helpful responses. If you love dogs, you'll love Toby, who keeps a great watch over the property and the guests. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back!

Absolutely beautiful view to wake up to every morning! The location is great - close to restaurants and shops in Coral Bay and easy to get on centerline road to access north shore beaches. We only had one car but there is plenty of space in the driveway for a 2nd and possibly a 3rd car. Not every room has AC but that wasn't a problem for us - the constant breeze kept it cool at night. If anything is missing or not working properly the host is extremely responsive and is able to resolve everything very quickly! Her art is also all over the property and is lovely =)

Enjoyed the location and views very much. Driveway is narrow and steep, but that’s normal for St. John.
