About this property

Sweet winds over Hurricane Hole St John

Sweet Wind is a West Indian style home that sits just above secluded Hurricane Hole.
Easy access off the main road #10 with a paved driveway . There are 32 solar panels and 3 Tesla batteries to supply the power, no WAPA outages. The villa is very private, quiet and secluded, being in the Nat. Park. It's only 1/2 mile from Coral Bay which sports live music most nights, shopping and fine or informal dining. Right below the villa there is a pebble beach with 4 kayaks available to explore the 5 bays that include Hurricane Hole. The snorkeling is good with mangroves and reefs, along with sandy beaches. I designed and built the house in the more traditional West Indian style of 3 individual buildings with large decks connecting them. The main house being the kitchen, living room, and dinning room. There is a bedroom and bathroom attached via a private deck on the West side of the main house. On the East side of the main house there is a 3rd building, housing 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a large deck in between w/ dining table and lounge chairs. All the rooms have amazing views, you feel like you are floating right over the ocean, and this layout makes them very private. A lot of love and care went into designing Sweet Wind. Down stairs there is a 10x20 pool and another vert private bedroom/bath. This is my own private art gallery, with hardwood floors, Purple Heart cabinets, fine dishes, antique furniture, local treasures and a bit of humor. There are two separate decks for complete privacy. One of the showers is outside, built with beautiful rock work. The bedrooms are in separate buildings, or pods which adds to the beauty and privacy. There is a 4th bedroom downstairs near the pool with bathroom and outside shower. There is a lovely grotto behind the villa with an amazing stone retaining wall 9' tall and 100' long running all along the back side, that has the BBQ, orchids, flowers and herbs, and an outside shower. The villa has gates at both entrances that keep the wild donkeys out and children in. You wake up to an amazing sunrise above Hurricane Hole. This is the most protected harbor in the Caribbean, and we look out over the Coral Reef National Monument. There is no overnight mooring allowed in Hurricane Hole unless there is a storm warning, so views are unobstructed. Sweet Wind is very quiet and private but just 1/2 a mile from town and you don't hear all the music and noise from Coral Bay
I think the photos say it all, Nina.

Wonderful stay at Sweet Winds
My family had a wonderful stay at Sweet Winds. Amazing location just past Coral Bay with stunning views of Hirricane Hole out past East End and to the BVIs. Stunning sunrises from your room and the patios. Nina, your host, is incredibly helpful and very engaged. Any texts received immediate and helpful responses. If you love dogs, you'll love Toby, who keeps a great watch over the property and the guests. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back!

Frog in paradise
Our family of seven stayed for 8 days. St john is our go to for a consistently amazing vacation. Beaches, snorkeling, restaurants, dingy rentals, charter boats, hiking, st thomas, BVI, ….. there is an endless variety of outdoor activities. Our family rents a 4wdrive vehicle to have no restrictions…. Coral bay is much more rural than cruz bay. The property we stayed in is absolutely unique in amenities. View, great architectural layout, and kind attentive host. Staying in homes on st John you are certain to get an “outside a resort” experince that is priceless. This one exceeded all our kids(9,11,13,15,16) epectations and ours too. There was also an amazing bonus dog that would grace us with his presence when it rained, or when it was bored..

Everything you need for a comfortable stay
Absolutely beautiful view to wake up to every morning! The location is great - close to restaurants and shops in Coral Bay and easy to get on centerline road to access north shore beaches. We only had one car but there is plenty of space in the driveway for a 2nd and possibly a 3rd car. Not every room has AC but that wasn't a problem for us - the constant breeze kept it cool at night. If anything is missing or not working properly the host is extremely responsive and is able to resolve everything very quickly! Her art is also all over the property and is lovely =)

Lovely view
Enjoyed the location and views very much. Driveway is narrow and steep, but that’s normal for St. John.

About the host

Host profile image
I feel so lucky to live here in beautiful Hurricane Hole. I am a painter and a musician. I use oils, pastels and watercolours and mostly paint boats and sea monsters .I enjoy playing the mandolin, banjo and slide guitar. I commercially fished for salmon, halibut and black cod, and had a 36' troller for most of my life out of Sitka Alaska. I used to come here for the winter to get out of Alaska, and build places for myself and family. I've lived in several parts around Coral Bay, and I think this is the best place to live on St John.

Why they chose this property

Sweet Wind is just above Hurricane Hole in the National Park and overlooks Coral Reef National Monument. Boats can not overnight moor in the Coral Reef Nat. Monument and there are almost no other houses in view. Park trailheads are a short walk away,and It's very quiet and peaceful here, the view is amazing, and still close to town. The snorkeling and kayaking available here at Sweet Wind in Hurricane Hole make this a special place for outdoor enthusiasts.

What makes this property unique

The house is a West Indian style with hip roofs, three pods with private decks between, with greenheart floors, cyprus wainscoting and antique Caribbean furniture. The full kitchen has beautiful antique caribbean style purple heart cabinets with stone countertops. Open the back kitchen door and there is a lovely grotto, with a gas barbeque and a potted garden full of herbs herbs and spices. The villa affords great views and privacy. The views from most every room feel like you are floating over the ocean, all you see is water and Nat. park land. It is breathtaking and amazingly private. You hear no noise from the bands in Coral Bay.
