About this property

Your island home away from home ~ 4bdm sleeps 8, pool w/ocean view

Enjoy sweeping views over the Caribbean east to Norman Island and beyond at ‘Ada by the Sea’, a modern, well appointed four bedroom/four bath pool villa overlooking Friis Bay in the Coral Bay area of St John. Just a few minutes drive to either the town of Coral Bay (shopping/dining) or several beautiful national park beaches and trails. 15 minutes from St John’s world renown North Shore beaches, Ada by the Sea’s location provides convenient access to all of what makes St. John special.

The villa has a paved driveway. The front door opens to the Great Room which includes a dining area with seating for 8, a comfortable living room and a separate media area as well as a gourmet kitchen with custom tile floor, granite counters, island seating area, wine fridge, & stainless steel appliances. The well appointed ‘cooks kitchen’ will ensure that you have the right tool for the job should you decide to ‘eat in’ rather than enjoy some of the wonderful island restaurants. Feel like dining ‘al fresco’? The outdoor kitchen located on the pool deck has everything you need for a perfect meal—large BBQ, sink, fridge and ice maker—plus an outdoor dining and lounge area for entertaining. Outside of the great room is a large deck overlooking the pool and the ocean with comfortable seating – a great place for a cocktail or morning coffee. The usually steady ocean breezes mean mosquitos are rarely a problem here. If you are lucky enough to be here on a Thursday ‘in season’ take a short stroll down to Miss Lucy’s for their famous open mic night or listen to their music from your deck.

All four equal size bedrooms have AC, en-suite baths, private decks with seating areas and large closets with ample shelving and hanging space for your belongings. Two upper bedrooms are accessed via closed breezeways from either side of the great room making it a perfect spot for parents with younger children. The two lower, pool level rooms are accessed via outdoor stairways from each breezeway. Bedrooms are arranged with a queen suite both upstairs and down and two XL twin (convertible to king) suites (one up and one down) – the bedroom set up insures privacy for all. Each room has a unique feel.

**For 1-4 guests, the lower two bedrooms will be locked off with no other renters. For 5-8 guests, you will have access to all 4 bedrooms. All 4 rooms available for parties less than 5 for an added fee. Please inquire.**

WiFi ensures you can stay connected if you need to. Games for all ages are available for evenings or should rain be in the forecast. Access to the pool is gated for family safety.

Enjoy your days with hiking the many national park trails and reefs, boating or exploring some of the many colonial ruins, take in a morning yoga class (or arrange for a class at ‘home’ ) or, simply lie by the pool! No matter what your choice, Ada by the Sea will relax and rejuvenate!

Family of six

Our family of six had an amazing stay. The house had everything to accommodate our family. The property manager answered all my question in a timely manner and the booking process was a breeze. The house was in a great location to local restaurants. We loved our trip to St. John

Perfect house

The house was wonderful and the view was amazing. We loved that there were 4 bedrooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms. The washers & dryers helped with swim suits and beach towels. The first morning one of the showers was only trickling water & they were there and had it fixed within an hour of contacting them. We would definitely stay there again!

Friends Vacation

We recently spend a week at your lovely home and had a fantastic time. The kitchen was well stocked, clean and the view from the deck was a great way to end the evening!

Great house

A group of 8 of us stayed for my Birthday trip. It was one of the most relaxing weeks of my life! The house had absolutely everything we needed. The snorkeling and beach gear was added bonus and more than we could have ever asked for!

Peace & quiet

Our family stayed at Ada by the Sea Dec 14-21, 2024. It was the perfect set-up for us with 4 bedrooms (all separated from the main living area) and a common space for gathering, meals and evening games! This was our second stay in the Coral Bay area which we prefer because of the peace and quiet. We spent 6-days at the north shore beaches which was even more amazing than our first trip because of the amenities (chairs, towels, cooler, snorkeling equipment) offered by Ada. We made a lot of memories thanks to the magic of SJ and the stay at Ada by the Sea. The driveway to the villa is the only concern to weigh due to the steep grade. Our family included 6, requiring us to rent a Toyota Highlander vs. Jeep. Initially, we drove up to the front door of the Villa but for most of the week we parked at the gate and walked up (not an issue for us). Rental of a Jeep is the key!

Fabulous place!

My small family stayed here for a week. Adult children had their own space which they appreciated. Everything about it was great! The view was fabulous. Rooms were comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. It’s very quiet and private. Walked down to listen to live music at Miss Lucy’s. We didn’t want to leave!

Fantastic house, very well equipped and furnished. Great view! Very easy access (by St John/Coral Bay standards.). Team was very helpful and easy to work with. Even provided an app that described everything you needed to know about the house and the surrounding area. Very helpful!

We already miss the view!!

Amazing view of Coral Bay. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfy. The pool was smaller than it looked in the pictures, but we didn't spend much time in it anyway - much more time at the beach snorkeling. Location was great once we got our bearings. We spent a lot of time just down the road at Salt Pond Bay Beach, Little Lameshur and Great Lameshur. Hansen was nice, too. Had a great last night at Skinny Legs!

Absolutely perfect for our family vacation!

Where do I start? This place is absolutely beautiful. So open and welcoming. We have stayed in several place on St. John and this by far was our favorite. It had everything we needed. Having the beach chairs, coolers, and floaties were such a huge plus. This place was well equipped and set up for being together as a family. Yet, having the seperation of bedrooms was perfect for my two teens. The two upper bedroom provided great privacy buy also closeness for a family with younger children. The pool was absolutely refreshing to come home to after a day of snorkeling. The house was a perfect size for our family of 5. The drive is steep, you will need a jeep. We were visited by donkeys several days. One of our highlights was walking down the hill to Miss Lucy's open mic! That is a must. We love this side of the island for its serenity. The house provided that relaxed vacation we so needed. It was also very clean. The linens smelled so good too. The property management was responsive to our needs as well. Did I mention the view? The best part though was waking up to watch the sunrises and falling asleep to the crashing waves. We will be back!
