Third trip in four years. Hate to recommend this place and make the best keep secret of this place in the Caribbean known. It is simply soooooooooo laid back. Rent yourself a house up at the top of the hills, get a 4X4, go the the bars and restaurants, drive to all the beaches, sandy on the north shore, rocky... more

Coral Bay is laid back paradise. Away from the hustle and bustle of St. Thomas and crowded Cruz Bay, Coral Bay is a rural oasis of ex-pats, small restaurants, and rental villas, not to mention donkeys, goats wandering in the road, and numerous cats. We stayed at a rental villa in the hills above Coral Bay where we could see... more

On our 12th visit to St. John we rented Villa Calabreeze thru Windspree Vacations. The villa is a short drive up a paved off of the main road in Coral Bay. The villa was perfect for our needs and a real value for the price. The new hot tub is a great addition. We had a couple of minor issues... more

just returned from a family trip to St. John, where we rented a villa near Coral Bay through the vrbo.com web site. Trip was great, weather was beautiful. Since this is the off-season, quite reasonable. Dined at several restaurants in Coral Bay, all were great. Visited beautiful deserted beaches for great relaxing days. Rented 4 WD car which was essential.... more

We stayed in Coral Bay for one week as part of our honeymoon in August 2007. We stayed in Sago Cottage and is was beautiful, and the views from atop the hill on the deck were great. The little town is very laid back and has a bit of a old hippie vibe, the people are very friendly. There are... more

When I think of Coral Bay, the first thing that comes to my mind is "Skinny Legs"--an open-air eating place that everyone loves! The food is simple, a little expensive, but delicious. It appears to be pretty much a "locals hangout" but the tourists are treated extremely well. At "Skinny Legs", one might look out back over Coral Bay and... more
