	"If we were any closer to heaven, we'd be talking to St. Peter" said one guest about Great Turtle Villa.


	Tucked into the lush mountainside above Coral Bay, behind an electronic gate, Great Turtle Villa is a casually elegant vacation villa with four bedrooms in two two-story pavilions bisected by a pool.
 

	Great Turtle Villa is accessed via all paved roads, a rare amenity on St. John and very welcome in a tropical downpour. It is located in the comfortable, upscale neighborhood of Upper Carolina. Surrounding homes are on large lots hidden by lush foliage which provides lots of privacy. Enter Great Turtle Villa's drive through an electronic gate which not only adds extra privacy and security but it also keeps the wild donkeys out!


	The front door opens onto the larger pavilion's main level which contains the attractive living and dining areas and the fully-equipped gourmet kitchen with a marble-topped work table and breakfast bar. In the living area, a flat-screen TV, stereo, DVD, plus music and video libraries, provide indoor entertainment. The fully-equipped kitchen boasts stainless appliances, granite counters and enough dishes, bake-ware, and pans to satisfy the most particular chef. Hand-polished mahogany screened french doors open onto spacious shaded decks with cushy rockers and inviting chaises lounges, perfect for enjoying the cool trade-wind breezes. An outdoor walkway above the pool and courtyard garden leads to the other pavilion with its master bedroom suite. An open staircase heads down beside the garden, passing exquisite orchids and a stately coconut palm, as it leads to the lower pool deck level with three more bedrooms and a home office.


	All four equal size bedrooms open onto large decks, with dazzling views, AC, adjoining baths, and walk-in closets making Great Turtle Villa a perfect vacation rental for friends or families to share. No one gets stuck in the "back bedroom with no view". The pool, just steps from your bedroom, is perfect, from a morning dip to a midnight swim. The lush courtyard garden ensures total privacy for swimming or sunning on the deck. When children are present, to keep them safe, self-locking gates around the pool can be utilized. The home office is equipped with high-speed internet, WiFi, a printer, and copier.


	Just minutes from fabulous National Park beaches and the funky bars and restaurants of Coral Bay, this villa's central location allows easy access to both sides of St. John. Cruz Bay is only a 20 minute drive away and all the best hiking trails are within easy reach.


	Everything about Great Turtle invites you to relax. Spend the day in the cushy rockers on the deck or let your cares slip away as you lounge by the pool. The Caribbean-style decor offers a comfortable mix of inviting antiques and pleasant elegance. The villa's lush tropical gardens are filled with birds-of-paradise, scarlet bougainvillea and rainbow-colored hibiscus. Slice a papaya for breakfast or pick your own lime for cocktails. But it's the awe-inspiring view - sparkling white sails bobbing on turquoise water in Coral Bay, shimmering islands on the horizon, the ever-changing greens on the verdant hills of Bordeaux Mountain, the speckled browns of sugar mill ruins peeking through the foliage of Carolina Valley - that you will carry forever in the memory of your visit to St. John and Great Turtle Villa!


	As one guest from Connecticut said, "I travel the world for my work and have seen many beautiful places, but, I must say, your home and the view of Coral Bay tops them all!"

Great Turtle Villa

There were supposed to be 7 family members coming, but the 2 oldest couldn't make it due to health issues. We chose this villa because it had separate bedrooms and great views for all. The 5 that attended had a fabulous time, particularly enjoying the wonderful outdoor area, pool, and views. We have been to villas on Majestic Mile before so Mark met us at the house. He showed us around and left us with a bottle of Rum which we enjoyed over the week.

Family Time at Green Turtle!

Our family of 7 were lucky enough to stay at Great Turtle for 7 days. The floor plan, outdoor space, pool, en-suite bathrooms, etc. were all perfect for our stay. The views of Coral Bay are stunning throughout the day and the stars at night were incredible. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Great stay at Great Turtle

We had the best week at the Great Turtle in Coral Bay. Traveling with our children and grandparents, the house was exactly what we needed with separate suites for everyone. The balconies offered a beautiful view of Coral Bay and beyond. The house had everything we needed from beach chairs, to floaties, and coolers. The property managers were also incredibly helpful, answering any and all questions we had throughout the week and suggesting activities. We will 100% be back. Awesome house and awesome location!

Perfect stay in Coral Bay!

The views from the villa are outstanding. The location is perfect being a short distance from both Coral Bay and the north shore beaches. Property management team was easy to work with.

St. John 2024

Perfect place for our group of 8, loved the pool and view! Great communication with the owner. Well stocked kitchen. Rented car was necessary (we rented from St John Car Rental) to visit Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Trunk Bay, and Hawks Nest beaches which were all great! Lime Out taco bar was our favorite. We saw 2 rainbows over Coral Bay from the house!
