We enjoyed our stay in coral bay. The pool was fantastic, views amazing and location quieter than Cruz bay!! Paul was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed😊. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

We were looking for a quiet, non commercial property outside of the tourist hustle and bustle. I really couldn't have picked a better place! The views were amazing, the pictures depict the house perfectly, the pool was awesome! We were just a short 15 minute drive from the beaches. I can't say enough good things about this house and our experience there! We can't wait to go back!

Fantastic property in a great setting. We were attracted to the less hectic/touristy island of St John and the house and location did not disappoint. Communication is outstanding and Paul the property manager was there when we arrived to meet us and answer any questions. He checked in with us regularly and even left the kids a couple of hidden toys for them to find at the pool. We cannot say enough about how great he was to talk to and gave us tips on everything from what restaurants are good to how navigate the roads. You don’t have as many restaurant choices as you do on the other side of the island but the several that are close are all great including our favorite Skinny Legs which was at the bottom of the driveway so easy access. Other good places like Shambles are a 20 min drive. The trade off compared to the other side of the island is that you don’t have to pay to park and you don’t have to deal with crowds of people. Maho Bay Beach was close and we found Hansen Beach was our favorite and we went there a couple of times. The house has everything you could need for the beach…chairs, coolers, snorkel gear and kids beach toys. Make sure you rent a vehicle with 4wd like a jeep and bring good bug spray (No seeums) Pool was great and our older daughter liked having the separate guest house beside the pool to herself Regular visits from the wild donkeys, goat herds and Sebastian the cat made the kids day. We would 100% stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Seagape Escape. Paul was very accommodating and responded quickly for anything that we needed. The house views are worth staying here! It’s a quiet setting, yet close enough to Cruz Bay. This is a highly recommended place to stay! Give Sebastian a scratch behind his ears for us.

This house and property were absolutely beautiful! Paul the property manager is amazing! We had a special request and he made it happen! The house and property were very clean and well stocked! We loved it so much we would definitely return in the future! Book this place and enjoy; you won’t regret it! ❤️🏝️

We loved our stay here at Sea Grape! The pictures does not do the house justice. When we arrived, you got the feeling of just being at HOME. We had a slight issue with the fridge (most of it was it being opened and closed from our couier service) Paul came in the very next day to fix it. I cant say enough about Paul. We introduced himself and his lovely cat Sebastian. When we saw him, it was like seeing your neighbor that you have known for years. He was lovely to talk to and the house was a huge plus. Every morning we would all wake up early to have our coffee and watch the sun come up over the island. We will be back!

What an unbelievable stay at Sea Grape Estate! The location, house amenities, and pool were all wonderful and far exceeded our expectations. The property manager, Paul, was amazing and he took the time to make our vacation unforgettable for our children. It was nice to chat with him and learn about the island and he was always willing to offer a suggestion if we were looking for a restaurant, grocery, etc. The house location is perfect in Coral Bay and the views are breathtaking. Don't be afraid of the steep drive, it gets easier each day. It was nice to have so many beach toys, chairs, and snorkel equipment available for our use and everything was clean and in great condition. If you are looking for a place to unplug and relax with amazing views and upscale accommodations, look no further than Sea Grape Estate. Grab a book and lay on the hammock with the ocean breeze and you'll be in heaven. We will def be back to visit Sea Grape in the near future. Coral Bay is an amazing area with friendly people and the drive to the beaches and Cruz Bay isn't bad. This is def the quieter side of the island, which is what we were looking for, but there is still so much to see and do within just a few minutes of the property.

Communication, location, and home were all top notch. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, home was clean and well stocked. Paul was amazing at helping us navigate our arrival after dark (highly recommend arriving during the day if you can - the first time you come it’s a little harrowing to nav the switchbacks and driveway!), giving restaurant and your info, etc. Sebastian the cat was the most gracious cat-host, keeping us entertained each evening. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a lovely time. The property was clean and quiet. We loved waking up and coming home to the gorgeous views and beautiful pool. Loved the location in Coral bay. Paul the property manager was friendly and very helpful.

This was our first time visiting SJ and it didn’t disappoint. Sea grape Estate provided us with a comfortable home base. Several mornings I was able to watch the sunrise with my coffee right from the deck. The property manager was helpful and the tips provided in the guestbook helped us navigate the island. I wouldn’t change a thing!

We had a wonderful week at the SeaGrape Estate. We are frequent travelers and this property exceeded our expectations. It was extremely clean when we arrived and I am very particular. The kitchen is fully stocked and we were able to cook several meals at home easily. The view is breathtaking - even after you’ve seen it once it’s breathtaking every time. The morning coffee on the deck overlooking coral bay was a magical way to start everyday. The deck is huge- I was able to do some body weight workouts and yoga on the deck. The wrap around deck gives you a view like no other and the pictures do not do it justice. The property was safe and had more than enough beach gear including snorkels for us to use. Beach gear was clean and in good working order- no issues. Doors and windows were secure but we slept with windows and sliding doors open because the breeze was perfect. There is AC in bedrooms but didn’t need it. Temp Was in the 80s at night but it didn’t feel like it. It felt cool and very comfortable. The Pool is HUGE, clean and warm…and the view while swimming!! Omg! Showers/bathrooms were clean and spacious. They were all great but the outdoor shower was particularly nice. If you want to experience a little slice of heaven try the outdoor shower on a warm night. It’s wonderful. This villa was exactly what we wanted. Location was great, easy access to beaches and grocery stores! I could go on and on. Paul the property manger is a wonderful human and gave us many helpful tips during our stay. I would come back a 100x over if I could.

Our 2 week visit to Sea Grape Estate was everything we hoped it would be. The location of the villa is perfect, close to the beaches and restaurants in Coral Bay. The wrap around deck gives you panoramic views and the pool was refreshing for after our daily snorkel trips. The house is well equipped and the manager, Paul is very professional was extremely helpful when he noticed that our Jeep rental got a flat tire. The driveway took a little getting used to but if you know anything about the island that is pretty much the norm as it is all carved out of the mountains which is part of the amazing beauty of the island. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and we hope to be back next year.

This property and the experience of staying there could not have been beat. Stunning view, comfortable house, incredible guest support from Paul, who gave us wonderful tips and answered every question we had and made us feel comfortable and welcome. We were intimidated by the drive up up the road our first night, but got used to it almost immediately (I would recommend booking a flight that gets you there during the day if you find unfamiliar roads with steep incline and sharp turns intimidating.) The kitchen was wonderfully well equipped and we grilled some nights and ate out others (Skinny Legs, right at the bottom of Sea Grape Drive was a favorite). The pool setting was spectacular, and we enjoyed swimming in the late afternoon and star gazing from the hammock by the pool. I could go on and on! Would love to come back.

Exquisite views of the sundrenched Coral Bay while perched high or the hill in a beautiful Caribbean Villa. Yeah, it was that good! The home was immaculately clean and private which made for the perfect oasis for a family vacation. As a bonus we would be occasionally visited by Pau,l the caretaker, who is always ready to offer up a cheerful hand with anything or an island secret of a great place to eat or visit- The perfect English gentleman. I look forward to seeing him next year.

I will start out by saying that the property was clean. I appreciate that. The security was dismal. Our separate poolside flop house( for which we spent 1/3 of the price)did not lock and the door screen blew in the wind. If we left the glass door open to the breeze a cat came in through the screen! One panel in the outside shower ( our only shower in the cabana bedroom)was broken so you were naked to the island. We had to figure out how to make the water warm. There were six of us but 5 beach chairs. The snorkeling equipment was too old and not effective. No hand towels or washcloths and only one dish towel. We could not wash towels and reuse as the dryer was broken the whole time! We had to haul gallons of water because the manager told us not to drink the filtered? water. There are no deadbolts as advertised. The manager and his girlfriend stayed under the main house which made us worried about being noisy at all. The furniture in the main house was quite shabby. Uncovered metal leftovers of buttons cut into your legs when you sat on the couch. Honestly? It would have been an adventuresome fun rental if we paid half the price. We felt taken.

Great family vacation house with majority of the things you need. Excellent set up and gorgeous views of the bay. Nice pool though we went to all the beaches most of the time.

Views are so much more amazing than pictured. As a family of 6, we enjoyed the estate immensely. Paul, our local host is amazing and was just a text or call away for any recommendations we needed to fully enjoy the island. We will be back! Thank you for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this nice home in Coral Bay. The view and sunrises from the balcony don't get old. The bedroom A/C units worked great and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, with plenty of beach gear/coolers for island adventures. The poolside cabana is very comfortable with an outdoor shower overlooking Coral Bay, NICE. Evening/sunset pool time was a great way to finish a day at the beach with family. Sebastian the property cat provided timely visits and excellent evening security/pest control. Paul "caretaker" lives in the apartment downstairs and is readily available to provide local recommendations and ensure a great stay on Seagrape Hill. We hope to return to this property again. Thanks again for hosting us Paul!

Fabulous trip with. Stunning views

My family had a wonderful week at SeaGrape! The home is clean and well appointed, the views from the deck are phenomenal, and the large pool is perfect for an afternoon (or even night!) swim. Property manager Paul was friendly, responsive, accommodating, and an excellent resource, who was always happy to provide local recommendations. We will definitely be back (-:

This property and the staff were amazing! Paul was great to work with, he was super helpful. The Villa was more than we hoped for. The pictures don't do it justice. We would stay here again!!!

The house was amazing with incredible views. Host was a great guy who was very helpful with anything we needed. He also gave us some great ideas of what to do around the island.

Paul was great onsite. Wonderfully informative and helpful. Fully equipped kitchen, dual master suites were great. Communications with Greg were also good. Only downsides were the daily goat invasions and we discovered that the water heater was solar. With the hurricane, there was no sun and no hot water for showers for days.

We had a great time. Paul & Greg were helpful & made it a great experience. The view was spectacular!

We had a wonderful experience at SeaGrape. The property was spacious with spectacular views. Lots of animals around the properties…. Chickens, goats, and lizards. The resident cat is adorable. All in all, ot was an amazing trip!

Booking process & pre arrival communication was great. House manager Paul was friendly & helpful. Easy drive to St Johns best beaches. We would love to stay here again.

We had the best time at this beautiful property. It was a little scary to get to at first but after the second day it became a little easier. The most unbelievable views. I think our only complaint was that the dishwasher wasn’t working while we were there and neither were the pool lights-my daughter was pretty disappointed bc she was excited to night swim in the “cool lights”. Overall it was a great place for our family and we made memories we will never forget!

Definitely some pros and cons with this villa - there are others on St. John that offer nicer accommodations for the same price. Pros: - the property manager Paul was super nice, and his lovely cat Sebastian was a welcome occasional visitor. He was always ready with a recommendation for the area, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a nice time. - the location is amazing - we love Coral Bay and this had easy access to all our favorites - the pool is fantastic - if you’re ok cooking at home, the gas stove was a welcome sight - the setup of the home with two main bedroom/bath combos is really nice - the view and the breeze are top notch Cons: - the dishwasher was broken our entire stay. Paul made a valiant effort to fix it, but at a certain point a 30 to 50 year old appliance just needs to be replaced - apparently the AC units aren’t functioning properly either - instructions are to not turn below 74 or they’ll freeze. We weren’t sure if this is accurate or if the owner was just trying to keep the energy bill low, regardless we have not seen this in any other villa on St. John. - we were not aware that there was someone living in the lower level of the home. Not an issue for us, but it’s definitely less private than other villas we’ve stayed at - the place is old and tired and needs a refresh. You can’t read the dials on the toaster oven, the kitchen utensils are starting to break and get worn, the sofa is in rough shape and was full of pistachio shells, etc. - there are no functioning locks on two of the sliding doors! Like, the locks are just gone. So, security is an issue. - There are some sort of bug that I’m not familiar with that have colonized the wooden railings, and they swarm out at night and are drawn to light. We couldn’t sit on the porch after dark because they were constantly hitting us and crawling on us. Overall, if improvements were made, it would be worth the price. At the moment, there are better villa options out there.

Beautiful property with sweeping views of the bay and a wonderful sea breeze. Paul was an outstanding and welcoming host with lots of tips for local sights, eats, and activities. Our toddler loved the pool and the house was nicely equipped for young children. Would definitely return again.

The views were wonderful! The pool excellent!

Our family had an amazing time here for our spring break week!! The views exceeded our expectations and we loved having our own pool to come home to after spending the morning at one of the amazing nearby beaches. Paul was fantastic about getting back to us quickly and giving us advice and tips about the island. We would love to return one day!!

The views are exceptional and location of this rental made it great to fully explore St. John. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook and relax. We will likely stay here again on future visits to the island.
