Fantastic Panoramic Views of The British Virgin Islands, Amazing Sunrises, Pool

Relax on your expansive covered deck and savor the spectacular panoramic views of Coral Bay, East End, British Virgin Islands, and beyond at Suite Papaya. Beautifully renovated in 2016 this perfectly scaled studio offers full Caribbean comfort with all of the benefits of a large villa estate.
Suite Papaya is a well appointed studio apartment located on a shared outdoor estate overlooking Coral Bay area of St. John. Just a few minutes drive to either the town of Coral Bay (shopping/dining) or several beautiful national park beaches and trails and 10 minutes from St. John’s world renown North Shore beaches, Suite Papaya is an ideal spot for couples or the solo St. John adventurer!… And if you need a second room, Suite Papaya and its sister studio called A Place in the Sun are both available and located on the beautiful Papaya Moon Villa Estate.
Both studio apartments are located on the lower level of the main house, and just above a beautifully landscaped hillside and large pool deck. While the two units share the same level, they each have their own well appointed kitchenette, dining table, sitting area, TV, and beautiful bathroom. Each kitchenette has a two burner electric top stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave. The units share over 1000 square feet of exterior decks space with stunning views over Coral Bay and BVI, outdoor grill, hot tub garden, and large pool deck. Each of these outdoor amenities provide plenty of areas around the estate to lounge alone or in a group.
The two units are unique in character, floor plan, decor, bed type(s), A/C and primary view.
Suite Papaya sleeps two comfortably with an option to add one more guest; it features a King bed, pullout sofa, platform daybed mini-room, A/C, and faces both south and west, capturing stunning sunsets.
The two studios together make the perfect couples retreat who desire a little privacy and may enjoy plenty of outdoor shared space. Renting both studios together will qualify for a special pricing. please inquire.

Enjoy your days with hiking and snorkeling the many national park trails and reefs, boating or exploring some of the many colonial ruins, take in a morning yoga class at nearby “Pickels” (or arrange for a class at ‘home’ ) or, simply lie by the pool!

Beautiful Views on the Quiet Side
The views are hands down insane! You won’t find those kind of views anywhere else on the island. Make sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise. The mattress was hard and I believe does need to be replaced along with a couple pillows and the comforter was scratchy. There was no soap in the bathroom pump. We wanted to spend time down by the pool but there was no umbrella for shade. Small things but little things make a difference especially a good bed when you’re there all week. We didn’t make it to the hot tub because it was just too warm. Wish we could’ve thought the views would’ve been amazing to sit there with a cocktail. There were multiple rooms to stay so it would be perfect for multiple families. Sit out on the back deck with a good book and you’ll be in heaven all day!

Best View on Island
The views are way better than pictured! Ron & Sue are amazing, so helpful & friendly. We enjoyed seeing Thelma (sweetest dog ever). The breeze is wonderful. We felt comfortable the whole time. Never needed the air conditioner. If you are looking for a heavenly oasis this is your place! 💜 The location is awesome. We were close enough to north, east & south shore beaches. The property is so beautiful! You will not want to leave each day. We saw gorgeous sunrises, and sunsets. This place is so peaceful. Lots of gorgeous plants and trees, humming birds and flowers. They have the best books available for you to browse about St. John’s as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us.

Unforgettable Week in St. John.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend a week in St. John. The property was absolutely perfect with amazing views, a convenient and relaxing location and ideal hosts who enhanced our stay with their kindness and willingness to share their love of the island. We hope to return soon and would not think of staying anywhere else.

Perfect.
Sue and Ron have a beautiful home in the perfect spot. Quiet, surrounded by trees and flowers with an amazing view of Coral Bay. Great location for quick access to the beaches and and easy drive to Cruz for some wonderful restaurants. Property was exactly as represented.

This property and host are heavenly! We could not ask for more while visiting the VI. You would not be disappointed one bit if you stay here during your visit. The hard part is leaving the house to go to the beach when the house and view is so beautiful too!

Best Romantic Getaway
This property was perfect for a weeklong getaway. It’s quiet and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We had everything we needed and picked up whatever we were missing from the small market/store located a few minutes away. Even though it was our first trip to St. John’s, we quickly figured out how to get around. It was pretty easy (25 minutes or less) to get to several beaches and downtown for meals. If you chose to stay in, there’s still so much to do. We enjoyed the views, took lots of pictures and lounged around the pool. It was pretty much the perfect vacation spot and we’d highly recommend it.

July on the Island
Just returned from an amazing week on the island. Mesmerizing views and great location for traveling to the different beaches. Ron and Sue made sure everything was ready for arrival and were quick to respond to any questions. We loved the quiet, meals on the decks, and late afternoon swims in the pool. We especially appreciated the care they put into their landscaping, composting, and creating a tropical home.

Papaya Moon
Sue and Ron had great recommendations and knowledge of the island. The house was perfect for my wife and I to spend a week relaxing. The views were spectacular. The location of the house made it perfect for exploring the north side beaches and east side of St. John. Hopefully be back soon!! Thank you, Ron and Sue!

Amazing views!
My mom and I loved our stay in Suite Papaya. Each morning we enjoyed coffee on the huge porch overlooking Coral Bay! Everything was very clean, and the check in process was easy and simple. Ron and Sue (and Thelma) are lovely hosts and provided great tips on the local restaurants and beaches!

First time in St John
We had a FANTASTIC time at Papayamoon and will be recommending it to friends as well! I hope to come back to enjoy it again. Our hosts were very amenable and gave us lots of interesting helps and information. Only wish we could have extended our stay! We had amazing views, saw all sorts of wildlife and the beaches were great! Of the two places we stayed while on this trip - this one was far-superior. Loved it! Highly recommend.
