About this property

Coconuts: Indoor/Outdoor Living, Spa, Heated Pool & Privacy!

Located on Gifft Hill, 750 feet above sea level, Coconuts features a unique combination of panoramic ocean views, spectacular sunsets, extensive outdoor living and dining areas, and numerous high-end amenities. The ocean views are among the finest on St. John, and include up to twenty islands, stretching from French Cap in the south to Grass Cay in the north, and as far away as Vieques and Puerto Rico. Coconuts is known for its spectacular, year-round sunsets, and at night, the twinkling lights of St. Thomas beckon across the waters of Pillsbury Sound. The flat, hilltop location of Coconuts ensures complete privacy and gentle tropical breezes, as well as a flat driveway with ample room for several cars. The entrance is framed by large palm trees, and the grounds include a magnificent Flamboyant, gently sloping side and lower lawns, lush tropical landscaping, and mature fruit trees. The many restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay are only a ten minute drive away, all on newly paved major roads. Coconuts is fully air conditioned for your comfort, with whisper-quiet split A/C units.

The pool is solar heated, and at night, the pool light slowly changes colors, with its diffuse hues illuminating the courtyard. The seven-person hot tub is mounted flush with the main deck, and offers panoramic ocean and sunset views. The addition of wide, gentle stairs down to the new lower sundeck provides unobstructed “infinity deck” ocean views from the entrance, pool, and deck chairs.

Coconuts single-level floor plan consists of four hip-roofed buildings centered around the solar heated pool and interior courtyard, and connected by decks, covered walkways, and patio gardens.

Coconuts provides the ultimate in Caribbean indoor/outdoor living. Its outdoor living areas include an interior garden courtyard, the main pool deck with its large, built-in spa, the gazebo with its dining table, couch, chairs, and outdoor sound system, the new billiard porch with its pool table, outdoor kitchen and sound system, and a large lower sundeck with wrap-around bench seating. Unusual for St. John, Coconuts' grounds are flat and walkable, with large front and side lawns, gorgeous tropical landscaping, and mature fruit trees. An elegant and accurate brass sundial graces the ocean view lawn, and botanical plant labels identify many of the plantings.

Dining options are extensive, and include the great room table for six, the gazebo dining table for six, and granite counter dining for six by the outdoor kitchen. Dine in the gazebo, at a table with some of the finest ocean and sunset views on St. John.

Coconuts is among only a few St. John villas that offer two kitchens; a fully enclosed main kitchen with a breakfast bar for entertaining the chef, and a complete outdoor kitchen facing the view in the billiard porch. The outdoor kitchen includes a built-in 36 inch gas grill, Teppanyaki cook surface, dual side burners, hot water sink, fridge, illuminated bar, and granite counter dining for six.

The great room includes a high-definition 100 inch front projection system with a subwoofer, as well as a 42 inch flat screen TV. Use either to watch a movie from our extensive Blu-ray library, your favorite TV show or sporting event, or photos and videos taken during your visit to St. John. An HD-DVR allows you to record shows or games while you are at the beach, or out on the town.

Play a game of pool or table tennis in the new billiard porch, cook and entertain in the beautiful outdoor granite kitchen, enjoy the star-filled skies from the hammock deck, or simply relax in the gazebo, pool, and spa. Whatever you prefer, Coconuts is a truly remarkable villa for your visit to the beautiful island of St. John!

Coconuts has open access to the pool from any room, and accordingly presents an inappropriate safety risk for toddlers. Infants, as well as older children capable of holding their own in a 51" deep pool, are welcome.  Parents with young children should note that Coconuts' architecture is such that the master and guest bedrooms, and the great room with its loft bedroom, each have their own entries from the interior pool courtyard.  A couple with young children might prefer a villa where the bedrooms are accessed from the interior of a single structure.

Friends getaway
Great house. Loved the Dutch pod design. Having 2 of the bedrooms separate from the main house allowed for privacy,with each having its own bathroom. The outside area was great. Having a pool,hot tub,pool table,kitchen and dining area. This is where we spent most of our time when we were at the house. The location was also great. Cruz bay is only a 10 minute car ride away with many beaches reachable within 25 minutes. We also discovered some great local places just minutes from the house. The people of St John couldn’t have been more friendly. We only had 2 small issues and the home owners resolved them within hours. We would definitely rent this house again.

Relaxing week at Coconuts
Incredible view! Even better than the pictures show! We spent a lot of time in the outdoor areas (kitchen, pool, hot tub, gazebo). Coconuts has many nice amenities, and there are detailed instructions where necessary. We used the burr grinder and coffee maker, the outdoor grill, the spa, and the pool table, and outdoor Bluetooth speakers. We used the 103” projector/screen to watch a DVD, and there is a Roku if you want to stream things. Kevin and Danielle were responsive to any needs/questions. We highly recommend Coconuts!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Danielle McCarthy

Host profile image
Kevin and Danielle McCarthy purchased Coconuts in 2010, and began extensive expansion, remodeling, and upgrades, which were completed in early 2012. Coconuts has since become one of the most popular rental villas on St. John. We are singularly focused on making the guest experience the finest it can possibly be.

Why they chose this property

We were in the market for a villa with incredible ocean views, sunsets, Caribbean indoor / outdoor living, a level floor plan with a flat driveway, quick and easy access to Cruz Bay, and complete privacy. We were delighted to find Coconuts in the summer of 2010, which fulfilled all of our expectations and more. With the renovations and expansion that we embarked upon, Coconuts has gotten even better. We invite you to join our many repeat guests in discovering this tropical gem.

What makes this property unique

As soon as you step through the doors into the interior courtyard, and see the magnificent ocean panorama stretching out before you, you will fall in love with this wonderful villa. Its benefits include:
- Incredible, panoramic ocean views
- Flat, very private hilltop location
- Magnificent, year-round sunsets
- Solar heated pool with LED color lighting
- Seven person spa with panoramic views
- Indoor / Outdoor Caribbean living
- Billiard porch with granite outdoor kitchen
