Our water, unlike most other rentals, is treated by dual filtration and ultra violet light to kill any bacteria and is perfectly safe to drink.

These systems are eco friendly and very sensitive and do not tolerate anything but waste and toilet paper or they will malfunction and back up. Trust us, not something you ever want to experience, and will be very expensive.

- ABSOLUTELY nothing down the bathroom sink as well. Same system as above.

-While you will enjoy total privacy on your own deck your hosts also live in the building so we ask that you be considerate and keep the noise levels down. If you want to get wild and loud please visit one of St. John's nightspots.

Perfect
This studio is perfect in every way for two. Clean, great location, easy access, everything provided. Julie's bread was wonderful and huge! Better yet, the grouper almondine was the best we ever had, very unique. The jeep was great. Julie and Jack are very knowledgeable and readily share great tips. Both are readily available for any issues. Great value on Coral Bay!

Great location and hosts!
This was our second stay at Coral Bayside. Julie & Jack are wonderful hosts. They respect your privacy, but are available for any questions you may have. They know the island well and can make recommendations for snorkeling and eateries. Julie is also a fantastic chef and will prepare dinner for you with advance notice (additional charge). The unit is perfect for two people with a very nice porch to watch the sunrise over the harbor. We enjoyed the wild goats that wandered onto the property daily and several varieties of tropical birds. Don’t hesitate to stay here. You won’t be disappointed!

Relaxing stay
Julie and Jack are great at communicating and responding. We rented a jeep from them and it was very convenient to have a taxi pick us up and bring us to the property. If you have the opportunity schedule a couple of meals by Julie. We had the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and the Lobster Spaghettini. Both were amazing! We loved the relaxing starts to our days by enjoying coffee on the deck, watching the sun come up and listening to the wildlife. Thank you!

Paradise on St. John
Coral Bayside studio was a perfect place to stay-very comfortable, everything you might need, plus a wonderful porch with comfy chairs and a swing. Having the jeep is totally worth it, to get to all the beautiful beaches and trails on the island. When we return to St John, this is where we will stay.

Third time—a charm!!
Our third visit to Jack and Julie’s Coral Bayside enchanted us just as much as our first two stays. We enjoyed Jack’s greeting of “ Welcome home!”and we felt comfortable and settled from the first step inside our immaculate and cool studio. When considering a trip to St. John and Coral Bay, this is the ideal spot for 2 people. The Jeep on-site rental, Julie’s room service, the view of Coral Bay from the porch swing, the access to all beaches, Skinny Legs, Johnny Lime, charter rental—Don’t hesitate! Book it now!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Van Pelt

Host profile image
My wife and I are both originally from Southern California and grew up about 60 miles apart. It wasn't until we both moved to the British Virgin Islands that we actually met and fell in love. We were married in 2000 in Lake Tahoe, CA. and have no children, only one very special dog named Kai that lives with us here on St. John. Kai, our 11 year old Vizsla was also born in Southern California so we're a family of sorts all Californians at heart. We're both very outgoing and have and operate our own businesses. Julie spent her high school senior year studying in Norway and then went on to UCLA where she studied political science and was granted a scholarship to attend Nanjing University in China where she learned to speak Mandarin. She also speaks French, Spanish and Norwegian. She is a professional chef and has one of the most successful upscale catering companies, East West Catering, that provides private chef services to the high end vacation villas here on St. John. As a special offering, she is also offering a room service menu for those that would like to have a gourmet meal delivered to your private deck ready to enjoy for that romantic outdoor dining experience overlooking the moonlit bay. I am a master mechanic and take care of our rental vehicles as well as a chase call service for almost all the the St. Thomas Rental Car Companies that need service for their rental cars on St. John.

Why they chose this property

Unlike most other accommodations , our Coral Bayside studio is actually on the side of the bay and lives up to it's name. Located only 300 feet from and 100 feet above the bay you can't get much closer to the water's edge. Every place has a view of the bay from afar but you won't find anything like this. Our studio truly lives up to it's claim of 5 star luxury at an affordable price.

What makes this property unique

We have what I call the Million Dollar View. It's not on the water but it is as close as you can get. Only 100 feet above and just across the road from the water's edge overlooking more than 100 boats at anchor.

Also, unlike most accommodations, we actually have pure filtered rain water that is perfectly safe to drink right from the faucet. No need to buy bottled water. Our water is dual charcoal filtered and then treated with ultra violet light to kill any and all bacteria or micro organisms. With our 19 years living here on St. John we can provide a wealth of inside information about our favorite, secluded and secret beach and snorkeling locations. Julie is an avid hiker so she can give you some ideas and suggestions to help you find just the right hiking trail to suit your needs. There is also a very informative hiking trail guide in your information binder.

We also have an in house Jeep rental so save you the hassles and time to rent, pick and return a rental car. For a nominal charge we meet you at the ferry dock on your arrival and bring you back to Coral Bayside and on your departure day we deliver you back to the ferry dock in time to catch your flight back home.
