We celebrated our 25th anniversary and could not have wished for a better vacation. The villa was wonderful and we had everything we needed and couldn’t have asked for anything more. The pool was nice to lay out by and felt refreshing in the late afternoon sun. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your home with us. We have a lifetime full of memories.

The pictures don’t do this beautiful spot justice. Our party of 4 arrived from the mud & slush of the Northeast’s March weather to everything we needed for a much needed relaxing holiday. Chris & Michael checked in just before we left to remind us to pack light & to get details of our plans. Chris then went out of her way to meet us & get us to Rhumb Runners, showing us the lay of the land, all the amenities, and even recommended a great restaurant close by after traveling all day. Each day we watched the sun rise on the spectacular wrap around porch, struck out early for a hikes, found the best snorkeling, came back for a dip in the pool, and then out to a restaurant for dinner. Rhumb Runners was the absolute perfect home base for us and our 2 friends and how we do vacations! We were just getting good at it and had to return home. Thank you Chris & Mike. It was perfect!

We have rented many VRBO homes over the years but never had such helpful and attentive hosts as Chris and Michael. Chris met us and explained how to get up the driveway and actually went ahead of us. It looks daunting at first but once you get used to it, it was very doable. The house has the most amazing views. We spent most of our time while there on the front porch watching the sunrise, moonrise and the cute little yellow birds called bananaquits taking baths and drinking sugar water we left on the railing. The house is clean and comfortable and well stocked with kitchen tools as well as towels and extra blankets. A couple of tips- there is no gas station in Coral Bay so we would recommend gassing up at Midway on Route 10 on your way over from Cruz Bay. Also the grocery store at Midway has quite a bit lower prices than in Coral Bay (although still higher than at home). We had a great meal at Rhumb Lines in Coral Bay and at High Tides in Cruz Bay.

This house was really perfect for our family of four with grown daughter and son. the bedrooms each had an adorable bath and they were configured as a king in one room and two twins in the other. The kitchen was really nice and everything was modern and up to date. The wi-fi worked very well and there was a TV with a dish (not that we used it much). But - I buried the lede! The view of Coral Bay is literally stunning! There's a small pool to cool off in. There are some nice dining/drinking options nearby in Coral Bay even though it's away from the hubbub in Cruz Bay. Very comfortable and even nicer than the pictures. Highly recommend!

This was our first time on St. John, and Chris and Michael were the most gracious hosts! They answered any and all questions we had about traveling to this beautiful house and island. The house had everything that we needed and the view is absolutely breathtaking! We will most definitely be back again in the near future!

My wife and I and some friends had a great week at Rhumb Runner. The property is clean, has a great location (driveway is right next to grocery, snorkel shop, and two restaurants) and spectacular views. Only negative was we had a few days of storms roll in the second half of the week and high winds and heavy rains caused a fair amount of wind and rain noise in the bedrooms. It wouldn’t cause me to not stay there, but bring some earplugs just in case!

Incredible views. It was nice to have a pool but we spent most of our time at the beach so we didn’t use it as much as we thought we would. Open floor plan downstairs was nice and bedroom layout upstairs with dedicated bathrooms worked well for us. The oven was slow to heat up so we ended up using the outdoor grill a lot which was a plus. Overall, we had a great stay and look forward to our next visit to St John.

Our group had a fantastic stay. The views are truly amazing. Everything with the property was as expected. The hosts were friendly and very helpful before and during our stay. Highly recommend!

The place was nice but starting to show some wear. I assume this is typical for most beach locations. View is absolutely beautiful. Several things renters should know are there are two showers upstairs but one is barely usable due to the very low water pressure. We ended up all using the one master shower. There is also no front door key so we couldn't lock the house when we left but there is a lock box for your personal items. That didn't bother us so much but there was also was a door with a broken lock and couldn't secure it(different door), even when sleeping at night. Even though they stressed how safe the area was, I was not comfortable with the house being unlocked with my family sleeping. I contacted them and they said they would contact the management company but no one ever showed to resolve this problem (stayed another 5 nights after contact). Only area air conditioned areas are the two bedrooms upstairs. The air conditioners are rather small and had a hard time keeping it cool and many nights it was quite warm (76) while sleeping. We closed the bedroom doors and by morning it would get down to 73. No air conditioner downstairs but you can open all doors and get a wonderful cross breeze most of the time. All in all it is a nice house and suited our needs well.

First time on the island. Loved the location. Near great beaches on the east side of island. Great food spots nearby like Skinny Legs and Salty Mongoose. Beautiful sunrises each morning across Coral Bay. The pool was a nice treat at the end of long hiking/beach days. The owners were easy to talk to and had great advice for making the most of our trip. We'd definitely stay again.

The property was fantastic! Great place for a couple getting away from it all to relax. The location is very private and quiet. The views are great and the porch is an awesome place to relax and unwind and take in all of the views. We enjoyed breakfast and evening cocktails from the porch. The house was well equipped and clean. The pool was a an added bonus in the morning and in the afternoon after the beach. Overall we would definitely stay here again and look forward to doing so in the future. Mike was really thorough in making sure we were briefed on the property before our arrival and took the time to make sure that we were happy with everything once we arrived. We were able to have a wonderful trip and relax!!

We loved the house and property and communication with the owners was very good and organized. Overall a great stay !(even with that winding, steep road up to the place - you will get used to it! :-) )

This property was perfect for our family vacation! Coral Bay is definitely the quiet side of the island which was perfect. Still close to beaches and hikes but away from the busy Cruz Bay. The views from the house were beautiful and there was always a breeze. Perfect!

Beautiful week on the quiet side of St. John! Sunrises from the deck were spectacular. Scenic drive to all the beaches. We will be back!

We just returned from a week of absolute perfection on St. John. It was our first visit to the island and we found Rhumb Runners to be the perfect home base for our family of four. We were happy to be on the quiet end of the island and its location in Coral Bay is convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. Rhumb Runners is clean and well cared for. It is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including 4 beach chairs, beach towels and cooler. We enjoyed starting and ending each day on the deck. The photos don't do the views justice. Absolutely gorgeous.

Ccomfortable and beautiful views overlooking Coral Bay. Hosts were very caring and responsive.

We loved Rhumb Runners! The house has stunning views of Coral Bay and the surrounding islands. All was clean, comfortable, in working order, well-equipped, and more than appropriate for our family of three. The owners were kind, informative, and responsible. The house gets good breezes and there are also fans - there is ac, but we didn't need it. The house and pool receive excellent morning sun. We typically spent a few hours there each morning before heading out for a days' excursion. The kitchen was well equipped. Towels and linens were clean and in good condition. There is direct tv, but we never so much as turned it on. A couple of things to note: The driveway is steep but manageable, so do have a 4-wheel drive vehicle and be not afraid. Also, you will have to buy drinking water, which is going to mean plastic, and there's currently no recycling on the island. This was a bit of a sore point for me as we came to enjoy nature and I felt that we were harming it even as we enjoyed ourselves.. Plan ahead if you can and bring collapsible bottles to fill at the only refilling stations, which are in Cruz Bay. All told, we would highly recommend this property and hope to return :)

It’s hard to find the right words to describe how amazing this place is. If you love St. John and appreciate the quiet side of Coral Bay the way my family does, then I promise you will love this place. The views are breathtaking, the house is immaculate, and Chris and Mike are wonderful people and hosts. You can tell that Mike and Chris really care about this property and care about making sure that guests love it the same way they do. My kids LOVED the pool and spent hours in there, which was also beautifully maintained. Our family will definitely be returning!

Rhumb Runners Villa has a great view of Coral Bay, sitting on the deck watching the boats in the harbor and looking out towards Tortola was very relaxing. It is high on a hill with breezes, no bugs, and a good size kitchen for cooking in after a long day of hitting the beaches. A/C was available in the bedrooms but we never needed it with the ocean breeze. We would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all in paradise. The pool was just right after hiking the Reef Bay Trail. Rhumb Runners villa is a great spot and convenient to beaches, hiking trails, restaurants and Lime Out (a STJ must). We will definitely be back to Rhumb Runners VIlla. Mike and Chris were very good at communicating before and during our trip to Rhumb Runners.

Our family (2 adults, 2 teen girls) enjoyed a 9-day Christmas holiday at this lovely spot perched on a hillside overlooking Coral Bay. Located on the "quieter" side of the island, it was truly peaceful and relaxing and you really cannot say enough about the views! We spent most of our time soaking in said views on the wrap around porch (gorgeous sunrises and wonderful star-gazing at night). The small pool was a nice touch for our girls. Beach towels and chairs were hugely beneficial for our daily outings to the spectacular beaches. And we found the kitchen nicely equipped for the handful of dinners we enjoyed at home. Chris and Mike were incredibly conscientious in their communication with us and very helpful in the trip-planning process. You will greatly enjoy staying at their little slice of paradise!

Great view. Relaxing.

We spent 8 fantastic days at Rhumb runners. Everything was absolutely perfect from the views to the comfortable king size bed. Mike and Chris went out of their to make sure our stay was peaceful. Highly recommend Rhumb runners to anyone who is looking for a small piece of paradise. Will be back

There is a twisty, steep hill to get to the property , but the view is amazing when you get there. The house is clean and well appointed. There are a couple of good restaurants in the area- of course you have to navigate the hill down to get there- but it is nice to have them accessible. There is also a grill by the pool and a nice kitchen to cook meals if you decide to stay in.

People to stay on Saint John understand that part of the allure is the effort that it takes to get here, driving on the wrong side of the road, ascending switch back roads to get to your destination and then… Ahhh, what a reward! Rhumb Runners is a lovely home that very comfortably accommodated my wife and two teenage children. Chris and Mike are wonderful homeowners who go out of their way to make sure that the check in process is as smooth as possible. The place is well-maintained, the kitchen is updated with all the essentials, including a coffee grinder for us coffee snobs! The wraparound porch is where we spent most of our time when we were home. AC units in the bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping even though the breezy East End of the island it’s comfortable

My family and I enjoyed our stay. You can not beat the views from the patio. The rooms were comfortable and everything was very clean.

We can honestly say this has been our favorite house on the island. Perfect location. Gorgeous views. Fantastic amenities. We will be back to stay no doubt.

Beautiful and clean house in wonderful Coral Bay. Jaw dropping views, hiking, swimming and snorkeling all within minutes of the house. Mike and Chris were great hosts. We love St John so much and will undoubtedly be back!

This was a wonderful place to spend the week. Micheal and Chris thought of everything! The view is lovely and it is very conveniently located to the stores and restaurants of Coral Bay. We will definitely stay there again!

This house was amazing! We were particularly impressed with the amenities, a mid-sized food/drink cooler and excellent quality folding beach chairs were provided. The outdoor grill was practically brand new. Kitchen was well stocked with all you could need if you wish to cook for yourself. Highly recommend and will stay here again! Owners were very courteous and helpful. Overall an excellent experience, could not have asked for more. And that's not even mentioning the priceless view.

This is the perfect place for a couple, two couples or small family. The wide porch overlooking Coral Bay has stunning views. The pool is a nice size for dipping. It’s in an easy location for access to beaches on the north or south shores and local restaurants. Plenty of conveniences and amenities for a great vacation.

I can’t say enough about Rhumb Runners! We arrived on a Saturday and we were met in Coral Bay by the hostess. We followed her up the hill to the most wonderful home base for our week. The views are just incredible. Every room has panoramic views of the bay. And it is so much quieter than the bustle of Cruz Bay. The house had everything we needed and more. (Beach chairs, towels, cooler, well resourced kitchen). It was impeccably clean. And the pool! Incredible. I can go on and on. We were given great recommendations for beaches, restaurants and shopping. The hosts were incredibly helpful, being in touch before we arrived to ensure we had everything we needed to make our trip perfect. It is obvious that they take great pride in their home, and it showed in every aspect of our visit. Phone service is intermittent on the island, but the WiFi here was perfect. I had several zoom meetings without any issues, not that you want to spend any time doing work. We simply can’t recommend this property any higher. Our stay was perfect.

Fantastic location (Coral Bay is where you want to be if, like us, you enjoy pristine nature and hiking away from the crowds) and views (even better than the pictures suggest), super nice and effective owners, what else could one be possibly asking for?
