Great for Large Families
Great view! Large bedrooms. Several gathering areas. Lots of stairs. We had a few issues with A/C, non-functioning electrical outlets, and inconvenient closet doors. The on-site concierge was a jewel. Worked well for us.

Most memorable vacation ever
Our family just made lifelong memories together over the Christmas and New Years holiday in the Virgin Islands. Werner the owner and his entire staff were all very professional and provided the most top notch service that we have ever had. Coral Gardens has a lot to offer for anyone. The view and sunsets are absolutely beautiful, the water is crystal clear, and everyone of the rooms have extremely comfortable beds and all the necessary amenities that you would need. I highly enjoyed every meal that the chef cooked and happy hour every night was a family favorite trying local drinks for the adults and non alcoholic for the kids. We took tours of St Thomas and St John’s and both were well planned out by Werner’s staff. Our family highly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning to Corral Gardens in the next few months or year. This property is truly amazing!

Spectacular
This vacation rental is one of a kind! It was perfect for our group. The many different room options from apartment living to individual suite living worked great for our group of grandparents, parents, and kids. What was even better were the ocean views from most of the rooms. Not only did the living spaces exceed expectations but the owner and his team were there for EVERYTHING you would need! From planning excursions, locking in reservations with the best table or best view, keeping our groceries stocked, cooking meals, and even cleaning and organizing our daily mess. This rental will not disappoint!

Beautiful beyond belief
First of all, the property was magnificent and well run. There were more than plenty of spaces for all 19 of us to spread out - both outside and inside. The views are incomparable and the beautiful private beach was such a treat. Werner and Joanne made everything happen and more! The only thing I would day is that the title of the listing suggests add-on’s and sleeping for up to 50. Be sure to ask about additional costs for these. Other than that, a few highlights included a Chef-prepared welcome barbecue that was delicious and a fabulous catered private sunset cruise that was the icing on the cake of our wonderful stay on the most beautiful and friendly island of St.Thomas. If you dream it, they can make it happen!

90th Birthday Celebration
We stayed at the Coral Gardens villa for our mother's 90th birthday. We had 3 families with a total of 13 adults stay for 5 days in January of 2022. The villa has stunning views of Magen's bay. It is 2 miles from Magen's Beach, a 5 min drive or a 1 hour hilly walk. The owner Werner was on premises for our entire stay and was always available. He provided a concierge service for all needs including transportation, activities and dining that would match a high end resort. Werner arranged for a chef to prepare 3 dinners and a breakfast for our group. The meals were fantastic. I would highly recommend the chef and his team. A house this size (20,000 square feet) will have some issues. Werner responded immediately to any troubles that arose and resolved them in a timely manner. The main floor has a large great room for families to gather with a kitchen attached. The kitchen was stocked for catering, supplied for large groups 25+, with 2 refrigerators, 2 dish washers, and abundance of appliances and cooking supplies. The 15 suites are furnished with multiple beds to accommodate large groups. Some of the suites are appointed with kitchenets. Coral Gardens is in the process of being updated. At the time of our stay, one room had been completed to a modern resort style. We look forward to coming back to see Werner's vision for the property realized.

An Incredible Stay
Our stay at Coral Gardens was everything we hoped for. Our group of 27 had plenty of room to spread out and loved both pools and the fabulous snorkeling right in front of the house. We stayed over Thanksgiving week, and Werner did a fantastic job of arranging transportation to our many activities, scheduling our massages, and had his chef create an amazing Thanksgiving Dinner for us. We sat at one long table on the balcony and enjoyed the most unforgettable meal and views. We arrived to all of the food and bar items we asked for and were never without ice in our coolers. The house is huge and stunning, with plenty of lounging room for all. At the end of the week, guests were still finding rooms they had missed. Thank you, Werner, for a beautiful and memorable family gathering.

Fun Times!
We have stayed at several large high-end resorts and much prefer the boutique nature of Coral Gardens. The flexibility and fluidness of the service Werner provides is amazing. We stayed during the delta variant peak and the Coral Gardens team valued our wishes to have no one enter the house. Everything was delivered to our door, including our chef-prepared food. We made this pivot 3 days before our arrival and the team made it happen seamlessly. We had several accommodations needed within our party and Werner made each of those accommodations happen. The snorkeling at the villa beach was some of the best snorkeling I have ever done. We spent two days at the beach in Margins and Werner took care of us getting to and from the beach at different times for each of our family memebers. We had a great time at Coral Gardens!

Hubbard family wedding/vacation
We chose to have our wedding in the Virgin Islands because of its stunning views and tranquil beaches. Little did we know we would experience a life changing trip for our entire family and friends. All thanks to Werner Scott, Toni and the Coral Gardens staff! The Villa is remarkable! The view is simply breathtaking. Each day we enjoyed delicious food by world class chefs. We also thoroughly enjoyed the private beach, pools, snorkeling and boating. Our experience far surpassed anything we could have possibly imagined. Werner, Toni and the rest of the Coral Garden crew not only opened up the villa, but opened their arms and hearts to all of us! We arrived as friends and left as family. Truly incredible!

Gorgeous Property with an Amazing View
From the start, from inquiring about the property to checking out the day we left, Werner, the property owner, made sure that the entire process was easy and that we enjoyed our stay. My family absolutely loved our time here and are already planning for another visit.

A Great Place!
Beautiful location! A little hard to find, but worth finding! If you have a large group, this works very well! Werner, the owner, was on-site the whole time and ready to help, no matter what the issue, and when we had a member do something a little stupid (try to swim across the bay - not a good idea!) his local knowledge was very valuable. There were a few minor maintenance issues, but this is a beach house on St Thomas; you have to expect an issue or two, and as I said, they were minor. If I was booking this trip again, right now, I would book it again at Coral Gardens! Our group had a fantastic time, despite the fact that we were there to spread the ashes of my late-wife. Werner helped us line up fishing trips (which ended up feeding us for most of the trip, and we all had a blast!), and had a lot more to offer that we didn't need or want. If you have a corporate retreat, this would be awesome!
