Wish We Could Have Stayed Longer!

This was a beautiful, relaxing place to be! We loved the deck, it was the perfect place to relax after a busy day of hiking and snorkeling. The location was wonderful, away from busy Cruz Bay and close to the quieter Coral Bay. We will recommend this property to anyone we know. It was altogether a lovely place and we would stay there again!

Paradise

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, comfortable villa that overlooks Coral Bay. It is beautifully decorated, island-style, and yet so comfortable to relax in after a day of beaching, snorkeling, or hiking. Details make a difference, such as a well equipped kitchen, beach equipment At the ready, great TV and speakers, fun games collection and my favorite, a very thoughtful book and nature guide collection. We will definitely return!

Great location! Excellent hospitality!

The villa is roomy, very comfortable, and is very well stocked with everything you need at home or the beach. It was perfect for the two of us for 10 days. The location is also excellent if you like to split time at Coral Bay beaches or north shore beaches. Amanda is an excellent and very attentive host. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway!

This place is a little gem on St. John! It had absolutely everything we needed-from beach chairs and bags to suntan lotion and bug spray. It is on the quiet side of the island, which I love, and close to the restaurants in Coral Bay and some of our favorite North Shore beaches. The home was super clean, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning is a huge plus. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A spectacular gem!

The accommodations were superb! Everything was as advertised, the view was spectacular, it was very comfortable and clean. The amenities were great. It had it all! The host was extremely responsive, and easy to reach. St. John’s doesn’t disappoint from the beaches, hiking, and shopping, and this spot is at the top of my list of places to return to.

Just what I was looking for

Great place (exactly like the online photos) with great amenities- beach chairs, cooler, etc. I took advantage of renting the jeep which was a great way to get around the island. As a solo traveler, it was much appreciated to be met at the ferry after a day of traveling and then drive back to the villa. Communication was great as well.

Perfect for Our Purpose

The house was exactly as advertised and perfectly situated between the less-touristy sides of the Island. We were there for the National Park experience primarily, and the house's location was a short distance to all things interesting: hiking, snorkeling, bars, and grocery stores. The driveway is a bit daunting, particularly without back-up cameras in a lot of the rental vehicles, but it is doable. The large patio is meant for sipping cocktails and every possible cooking utensil was there. Amanda was charming and helpful. Just what we wanted!

Perfectly peaceful place in Coral Bay!

We had a great time at Amanda's place. Everything was very clean, super quiet and very peaceful. Plenty of deck space to enjoy the wonderful views of the valleys and the bay. The AC was a super plus for us and made the stay very comfortable. House had alot of interesting reading material about St. John and the neighboring islands. Everything we needed to make the stay completely comfortable. Absolutely would stay there again. Thank you!

Everything was perfect. The view was beautiful, I loved watching the sun come over the bay in the morning and seeing all the hillside lights at night. The home has everything you could need and I loved the decor. It was our first time visiting the Island and Amanda was very kind and helpful with all any questions we had. We would love to come back someday.

Beautiful Home with an Amazing View

We loved staying at Salty Kisses and Goodnight Wishes. The house is exactly as shown in the listing and even better in person. The host is easy to communicate with and the house has maps, books, and information about the restaurants and services on the island. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The bed, linens, and towels are incredibly comfortable. This was our first visit to the island and our friends who visit each year are in awe of this home.and its amenities.

Great hillside stay

Excellent place for some relaxation and exploring of the island. Very good accommodations overlooking Coral Bay. The supplies are very plentiful within the kitchen and linen supplies. The cooler and beach accessories are very helpful. We used the chairs, beach towels, cooler and floaties daily. Overall, this place is great! The only drawback is that the main road down the hill does lead to a fair amount of vehicle noise at times. So it's not always peaceful and quiet. That is hard to find though on a smaller island like this.

Enjoy a great view of Coral Bay

The house is perched on a steep hill overlooking Coral Bay and the fun neighborhood (Skinny Legs restaurant). It’s just the right size for 2. Nice covered and uncovered deck. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice features such as a shower with stone walls. We rented the manager’s Jeep which was convenient. Amanda was great to work with and very accessible.

Great Hosts

We had a great time staying at Amanda’s. The house was very clean, the beds comfortable, and the sheets were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed to cook dinner for us. She is extremely accurate with the description of the listing and the intricacies of Island life. The power went out for two days during our stay, but Amanda was very communicative before hand and prepared us with water flashlights and a battery operated fan. I’ve never had a more communicative host that made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Lovely little villa

This was our first time in Saint John, and we were confident this place would be great — but it truly exceeded our expectations. Check-in was easy, the views were stellar (lush, green, iguanas in the treetops!), and the house was clean, cozy, and conveniently stocked with everything from beach floaties to a cooler to birding books and binoculars. Amanda was great. She let us know she was there if we needed anything, but also gave us plenty of space. It was a super special trip overall, and staying here was integral to the experience. We hope to be back again!

Everything was wonderful!

My husband and I enjoyed our week here very much. The home was exceptionally clean and very, very well stocked with everything we could use.There was ample towels for the beach, towels for the bathroom, beach noodles, beach chairs and umbrella. carrying bags for the grocery store. The bathroom had more than enough toilet paper, little bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner. More than we could possibly use.For us, the location was perfect as it was very close to the beautiful beaches and Skinny Legs restaurant.There were plenty of books and maps for us to acclimate and get accustomed to the area as well as a perfectly functioning television with live TV and a plethora of movie and series options. There was definitely truth in advertising because everything we saw before we looked at our vacation was definitely there plus more. My husband and I very highly recommend this place. Thank you very much.Susie & John M.

Perfect peaceful stay

The home is very well taken care of, and clean as can be. AC is a real treat on the island and was well appreciated! The host has taken care of all the comforts of home. All the furniture is very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need, and the patio has great views of Coral Bay. I also rented the jeep from her and it was very clean and provided a great way to get around to the North beaches and running into town. This is a great central location between Coral Bay and the best beaches! The beach supplies were fantastic to make our beach trips more comfortable. Very thoughtful. Host is great at responding quickly to any questions you may have during your stay! About the host—she is so gracious and kind—bending over backwards to help make sure our stay was as smooth as possible after some unexpected changes in travel plans. I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to a friend.

Had a great stay

The property was even nicer than we had imagined. It looked out over Coral Bay, and located a short drive from restaurants and the town. Also not far from the spectacular north shore beaches. Amanda was lovely, and was keen to make sure everything went well for us. For those unfamiliar with the area, this location is at the other end of St John from the main town of Cruz Bay and the resorts. A jeep is not essential, but get something with power and clearance because the major roads are narrow, steep, and are either winding upwards or plunging downwards. Fortunately, Amanda's house is comparatively easy to access. The views as you drive around are spectacular. Roads there are populated by "wild" donkeys, goats, deer, iguanas, occassional hermit crabs, and other jeeps, which are also on the wrong side of the road. Fun places to eat are close by, as are markets to buy food. These are not suburban supermarkets, however, and the prices reflect how far the food has to travel to get to you. The people are a lot of fun, and get pizza at the Salty Mongoose and hang out there. You will need insect repellant esp around sunset, because of the no-see-ums. And coral-friendly sunblock. The best coral snorkeling is probably at Hawksnest, and Maho beach has turtles if you snorkel out toward where the boats moor. You can rent snorkel fins and mask for about ten dollars a day at the dive shack.
