Located in Coral Bay, which was just placed # 4 by New York Times Top 52 Places to Visit in 2016, is the quieter, more preferred side, most return travelers little secret, away from the busier Cruz Bay side. Due to the success of it's neighboring, totally private (not shared) In Harmony Retreat-a relaxing, couples 1br rental- next lot over, the owner was encouraged to have a 2 bedroom, so his large number of return guests wish to travel with another couple or family member, they could have something to accommodate.

Despite arriving hours before a Tropical Storm hit, we were able to make the best (for the most part) of our stay. Sea Palace Retreat offered wonderful views and was well appointed. The house was clean upon arrival and we appreciated being able to mail a package in advance. Paul was a wonderful property manager and attentive to our arrival and needs throughout our stay. We are used to more privacy than offered here - which sits almost directly above a neighboring house and looks down on that house's deck. Power went out several times - once for 2 days - but obviously not the property owner/manager's fault. I was told there is a generator but it was actually an inverter that could only run the refrigerator and required a cord to be run in through the main door which prevented us from locking the door during the 2-day power outage. During this time, we had no running water and had to use a bucket of water (from the pool) to flush the toilet. The listing shows there are "2 powerful air conditioners in each bedroom that can handle either entire floor" which is not accurate - there was 1 mini-split AC in the main level bedroom and upon arrival we were told it would not cool the entire floor and definitely found that to be true. Mid-80's with high humidity were a bit too much for the mini-split to keep up with so it was quite warm in the house even when the power was on. Hot tub didn't get warm, no jets. Recommend a 4WD to access the property but deck views are amazing!

We are so pleased with our stay at Sea Palace. The house had everything we needed and then some. We never turned the AC on, had open windows and a lovely breeze off the bay all week. Sebastian, the cat, visited us daily, which we adored. It was quite difficult to say goodbye to him at the end of the week. Beds were comfy, kitchen fully stocked, amazing outdoor shower, incredible views from the upstairs patio, refreshing pool and hot tub. Goats, chickens, deer, Sebastian, and another young cat made the rounds daily. Plenty of privacy from the neighbors. Stunning views of Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole. So many stars at night. A great homebase after beach, snorkeling, and hiking adventures. We're already planning a return trip and plan to book this house again!

The property is well maintained and clean. We liked the location in Coral Bay. The entrance to Seagrape Hill is right above Skinny Legs... We walked it, but do not recommend! Very steep hill. The property manager was great. We enjoyed our stay even with an unplanned power outage. It comes with the time of year, but the one critique of the property would be to have AC in the main kitchen area. We found it quite hot in the evenings, even with all the fans running and windows open. Otherwise, no issues! Bedroom AC worked great, and we enjoyed use of the washer/ dryer during our stay.

The villa was beautiful. It was very clean and well stocked with everything you would need. I liked how there were flashlights plugged in throughout the house in case of power outages. There were coozies to take to the beach and even plenty of sunscreen. The breeze was lovely and the outdoor patio/deck was beautiful and comfortable. The view was spectacular. One thing to note is that there is a lack of privacy if that is something you’re looking for. It didn’t bother me, but you can the neighbors from the pool and and deck. There are 3 houses close by and you can see on their decks, vice versa. We really didn’t see much of the neighbors. Overall it was a great villa and I would stay again. We loved the villa cat, Sebastian!
