Escape to "Over the Rainbow" – your own private Caribbean cottage complete with a private pool, ocean view, and a/c. Experience tranquility in a stunning tropical paradise. Book your dream getaway today!

DESCRIPTION: Over the Rainbow is a charming Caribbean cottage located in the picturesque region of Reef Bay. This 3-bedroom 3-bath home includes a private pool and offers exceptional privacy, with an away from it all feel, yet it is only about a 15-minute drive to Cruz Bay.

The driveway and parking area are located below the home, and you will follow the walkway and stone stairway up to the courtyard and main entrance.
The villa is designed in an "L" shape, with three connecting buildings; the main house is on the left and the bedroom wings are to the right. The main house includes your great room, with an open floor plan, living, dining, and kitchen area. Plus, there are 16' x 8' screened sliding glass doors on opposite sides of the great room, which offers plenty of light and a fully screened indoor/outdoor living experience. You will enjoy relaxing here as you gaze out to the ever changing colors of the turquoise blue seas.

All the bedrooms are air-conditioned and include a bath with tiled shower.  The primary bedroom is located off the great room and has a king bed.  This bedroom has a connecting doorway to the guest wing, where the two additional bedrooms are located.  The upper bedroom has a king bed, and the lower bedroom has two twin beds which can easily be converted to a king.  Both guest wing bedrooms can also be accessed from the courtyard, and each has private west facing decks that capture afternoon sun and memorable sunsets, while the upper bedroom has a second deck with east facing sunrise views.

To the front of the home is the sun deck, pool, and covered gazebo, all of which look out over Reef Bay and the south coast of the National Park.

Over the Rainbow is perfect for families traveling with children, couples, singles, and everyone looking for a St. John tropical escape. Make your reservations now!


LOCATION: Over the Rainbow is located on the border of the National Park in Reef Bay, in an exceptionally peaceful and unspoiled setting that is as private today as it was in 1991. This villa is blessed with magnificent 260 degree views, including the "Big Sur" like shoreline of the National Park, miles of blue Caribbean Sea, lovely sunrises over Reef Bay and the glow of sunsets behind Fish Bay.

Reef Bay Beach is a usually deserted white sand beach that is a 10-15 minute hike from your villa. Reef Bay is St. John's most "undiscovered" and virgin National Park beach where sea turtles still lay their eggs and romantic beach walks are very private affairs. A one mile hike along the shore brings you to a second beach at the head of Reef Bay while other trails take you on more challenging hikes through the National Park to Lameshur Bay, Bordeaux Mountain or Rams Head. It's a four mile drive into Cruz Bay, all of which is on what passes on St. John for a paved road, but Reef Bay is well off the beaten path, so few tourists ever explore this beautiful and relatively unknown area of St John.

LIVING & DINING: Large screened glass doors on the east and west sides of the great house open to create a relaxing indoor-outdoor living area with romantic views and constant cooling breezes off Reef Bay. Terra cotta tiled floors, exposed beams and the pastel colors create a soothing interior while a rattan couch, loveseat and chair set insure comfortable seating. A 40" flat smart screen TV, 2 speaker CD player/stereo and wireless internet provide the electronic entertainment.

Dine inside at the glass and wicker table and chair set that seats 4, outside on the courtyard table also seating 4, or on the pool deck or under the gazebo also at a table seating four.

KITCHEN: The kitchen includes a 4-burner stove with oven, refrigerator-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, blender, drip coffee maker, telephone and a suitable assortment of cookware and dinnerware. A washer/dryer and a BBQ grill are also included.

BEDROOMS: Over the Rainbow has 3 a/c bedrooms and 3 baths. The lower level east facing guest bedroom has a king 4-poster bed and adjoining bath. The new lower master bedroom has 2 twins that open to a large private deck with views of Fish Bay and romantic sunsets. The upper level master bedroom and bath is accessed by interior stairs and has a king bed, adjoining bath, and two decks. One deck looks west to St. Thomas over Fish Bay, and a second deck has, oh so rare, sunrise and sunset (east and west) views.
