Relaxing Getaway

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at harbor lights, it had all the amenities we needed. The property is located on the queiter side of the island which we really enjoyed, however is still just a quick drive to the main beaches. Great restaurants near by in Coral Bay. We also loved the private pool in the afternoons. What a treat, we hope to be back again someday!

2nd stay

We so enjoyed Harbor Lights in 2016 we decided to return to St John and stay there again. Beautiful, quiet, private cottage. It is close to several resturants. The pool was great after hikes and beach days. I would definitely recommend.

Harbor Lights Villa

Perfect get away spot for 2 people. Very private with good water views. Well equipped. Pool was great but had no hand railings for entering the water. The king size bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows, although the mattress was 33 inches above the floor and difficult for a short person to get into. Overall it was a great experience.

Perfect for couples

This was our second vacation to St John and my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fact that it had a great view but was not so far up the hill that driving up and down was annoying. It was in a great location, very close to Coral Bay restaurants and shopping as well as a short drive to beaches on both the north and south shores. It was fun seeing little goats come to drink out of the pool daily as well. It had everything we needed in regards to kitchen equipment, supplies, etc. The King bed was very comfortable and the outdoor shower was a fun twist. Just 2 small suggestions to make the property even better: Because there is only one small bathroom, it would be handy to have another mirror on a wall somewhere. Also, there is a small gap in the door leading to the outdoor shower that could be easily remedied with some weather stripping to prevent bugs from getting in. Overall, great stay, would come again!

Anniversary getaway

We celebrated our 15th anniversary and had a wonderful time. This villa is located on the more quieter side of the island with a little less places to visit versus Cruz Bay but we made a point to see and do everything we could! It is right off of a main road and easily accessible. You cannot beat the view from this villa and it’s located on a well paved road. The mostly private pool was great after a day of hiking and beach visits. We did have some ant problems in the bathroom but the property manager was eager to address it. There was also a roof leak but it did not hinder our stay. Things were a little dusty like the overhead lamps above the bed and all the dishes on the shelf. We did have to clean the trap to the dishwasher as it smelled foul when we arrived. The property manager was very responsive with any concerns and overall we had a great stay! No place will ever be perfect but the minor concerns were outweighed by all the great things of this place.

The host contacted us after we landed and got our rental car. He directed us to a nearby grocery store to stock up, then met us to lead the way to the property. There, he shared details of the general area, the house, and pool. Very much appreciated, particularly because our flight was very late.

My Husband and I vacationed, for the first time in St John and absolutely fell in love! Our cottage was PERFECT for just the two of us! The view was amazing, the outdoor shower was refreshing and the amenities were just right for what we needed. The best part of our cottage stay was listening to the mama and baby goats trot down the steps to the pool for a drink. We got so tickled with how they would come in the middle of the night and then periodically during the day. We were sitting by the pool one day and surprised one when it got down the steps. I don't think it knew what to think, but quickly decided we must have been harmless, so it got it's drink of water and went on.

for the goat enthusiast

we loved our stay here. It was so fun to hear the little goats come down every morning and drink from the pool. The location is great with a beautiful view of Coral Bay and the drive to Cruz Bay wasn’t too bad which we did quite often property was clean. I will say they do need to add some weatherstripping to the outdoor shower door as there were quite a few 6 and 8 legged critters getting in but thats island life!

Perfect for Two

Great spot for two to relax and enjoy the view. Looking right over Coral Bay. The pool is awesome. We loved the sound of the Mourning Doves cooing, donkeys braying and roosters crowing as we had coffee on the deck. Being just 2switchbacks away from Skinny Legs was a plus. Beaches were easy to get to.
