The host contacted us after we landed and got our rental car. He directed us to a nearby grocery store to stock up, then met us to lead the way to the property. There, he shared details of the general area, the house, and pool. Very much appreciated, particularly because our flight was very late.

My Husband and I vacationed, for the first time in St John and absolutely fell in love! Our cottage was PERFECT for just the two of us! The view was amazing, the outdoor shower was refreshing and the amenities were just right for what we needed. The best part of our cottage stay was listening to the mama and baby goats trot down the steps to the pool for a drink. We got so tickled with how they would come in the middle of the night and then periodically during the day. We were sitting by the pool one day and surprised one when it got down the steps. I don't think it knew what to think, but quickly decided we must have been harmless, so it got it's drink of water and went on.

for the goat enthusiast

we loved our stay here. It was so fun to hear the little goats come down every morning and drink from the pool. The location is great with a beautiful view of Coral Bay and the drive to Cruz Bay wasn’t too bad which we did quite often property was clean. I will say they do need to add some weatherstripping to the outdoor shower door as there were quite a few 6 and 8 legged critters getting in but thats island life!

Great little spot, loved the pool!

The house was well stocked, had everything we needed, the outdoor shower was a nice touch and the pool was perfect! The road to the place has a couple switchbacks but nothing worse than most of the roads you’ll take to get to the beaches. Beautiful view looking out to the bay.

Relaxing Getaway

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at harbor lights, it had all the amenities we needed. The property is located on the queiter side of the island which we really enjoyed, however is still just a quick drive to the main beaches. Great restaurants near by in Coral Bay. We also loved the private pool in the afternoons. What a treat, we hope to be back again someday!

Perfect for Two

Great spot for two to relax and enjoy the view. Looking right over Coral Bay. The pool is awesome. We loved the sound of the Mourning Doves cooing, donkeys braying and roosters crowing as we had coffee on the deck. Being just 2switchbacks away from Skinny Legs was a plus. Beaches were easy to get to.

Perfect stay in Coral Bay

We had a great time at this little villa on the hill. Super cute studio home with a nice, clean pool, a great deck overlooking the bay and pretty much everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again. One note is that they DO have a stove… the listing is not clear, and we weren’t sure if they did or not, but there is one.

Romantic tranquility

We loved our first stay here. The bungalow was perfect for two with a gorgeous view right from bed. The pool and outdoor showers were private and so nice each morning or night under the stars with the lights turned off. Loved sitting on the porch as I am now listening to jazz with my coffee and my love. So much wildlife around too! Roosters, donkeys, cats, goats stopping by our pool and birds. Very close to Francis and Maho! Just a great stay. Went to skinny legs for great food and service just below too!

St. John 2022

We had an excellent first trip to St. John. The villa is clean with an excellent view of the Bay. The pool was perfect in the evening after spending all day at the different beaches. Coral Bay offered just enough food/market options for the week. All of the beaches are within a 15-20 minute gorgeous drive. Would definitely recommend this property.

Harbor lights in March!

There was nothing not to love about Harbor Lights! The views, the goats coming for a drink at the pool, proximity to Skinny Legs, grocery store and other bars, outside shower, even the weather including brief showers and rainbows that followed, it was all amazing. The drive to house wasn’t too bad, a couple of switchbacks and you were there; my husband preferred backing down driveway it was a little tight but still Manageable. Our next trip to the Caribbean will be right back to St John and Harbor Lights!
