Beautiful, clean and comfortable!

This property was as described and furnished/stocked VERY well. The hot water could have been hotter and there could have been a few more beach towels, other than that, absolutely no complaints. The view was incredible and close to a few restaurants and bars in Coral Bay. Property management, Dena and Trevor, were also wonderful!

We adored this location. The privacy here was unlike any location I’ve stayed in, and we had such a relaxing get away. The property manager was excellent and responsive, and we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay in Coral Bay

My husband and I stayed in the villa for one week and loved it! The view of the bay is spectacular! The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, and there was a terrific grocery store several minutes away. We did bring groceries with us from St. Thomas, however, which had larger stores. You MUST have a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get up to the house (and to easily get around St. John). The owners of the property were very responsive and the on-island managers, Dena and her son Trevor, were readily available to answer our questions. While we did not need or use it, there is a separate bedroom on the lowest level that provides privacy if you need a second bedroom.I would recommend this to any one seeking a quiet, nicely decorated, and well-appointed house on St. John. We sure hope we can return.

Private peace in paradise

Owners and property manager are perfect in that they invest in and manage the property very, very well - but otherwise leave you alone. Very private and tastefully appointed. Great for anyone NOT looking for cruise ship, nightclub and/or resort crowds or services. Also helps if you're not afraid of 4-wheel drive. I highly recommend Seawing. In exchange for this review and recommendation I thank you in advance for the courtesy of NOT booking the time I'd like to book. Thank you :) . Enjoy!

Well maintained, comfortable, private, stunning views

Comfortable furnishings and well stocked for everything we could have needed: beach chairs & towels, pool noodles, snorkel gear, small coolers, beach bags, excellent kitchen utensils/cookware & appliances. Not shown in pictures: the half-wall on the outdoor shower has been raised to full height. Hammock underneath front deck. Full sized washer & dryer. Den has a bookshelf speaker (not portable) above the desk with a lightning adapter to play music from our iPhones. It might also have a USB-C adapter; it converts to a microphone input.There is no bathtub; the references to jetted tub are for the outdoor hot tub. Main house has an outdoor shower only; the indoor shower is downstairs in the separate rental. We really enjoyed our stay and will return.

Gorgeous view and property

Loved, loved, loved this place! The view is amazing and the house had everything my husband and I needed. We did not rent the downstairs additional bedroom since it was just the two of us. Highlights: back garden with private outdoor shower, hottub, and personal waterfall that all pictures we took do not do justice. The lighting and landscaping make it a truly magical place to spend an evening. You will need 4 wheel drive for the road up to the house and driveway. The house is split level, so just a caution for those with mobility issues on stairs. We had no issues and found it very nicely designed. Dena, the property manager, met us in town and we followed her to the house. She was helpful with questions during our stay. We highly recommend this place!

Paradise in Coral Bay

This stunning home was the perfect base for our week in St. John. It was close to Coral Bay’s restaurants, Salt Pond, and an easy (albeit crazy roads) ride to all of the beautiful beaches. The view and privacy would be hard to beat. The hot tub and outdoor shower were amazing. We did laundry a couple of times which was great. The property manager was fantastic. We hope to return!

Seawing Villa

We could not have asked for a better place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the island. The pictures and description accurately described the villa. It is as beautiful as the pictures looked. It is very private and beautifully landscaped. Both inside and outside spaces had a beautiful view of Coral Bay. The outside shower was so delightful! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare some meals. You WILL need 4-wheel drive to navigate the driveway as well as the island roads. We were warmly welcomed by the property manager and were shown the villa and its amenities. Overall: more than satisfied with our stay!

The Best Ever Trip to St. John

This was our 7th trip to St. John. We spent most everyday visiting and snorkeling the different beaches. We loved all the seas life, especially the sea turtles. The rest of the time was spent at Seawing!! From the exceptional view, very comfortable rooms, cozy hot tub, etc. even an adorable goat that showed up on the hill, it was just the best week we could have spent! We loved our vacation and look forward to going back next year! We've been to St. John 7 times. Being at Seawing made it our favorite visit!!!

Fabulous View!

The property was just beautiful. It was exactly as shown in the pictures. It has a beautiful view of the bay and the home was very well equipped with everything you need. Very steep driveway like other reviews said and is definitely not for the faint of heart. A jeep should have no problem getting up it though.

Great space for 2, great view, great location

Charming, private, multi-layered space with a gorgeous view east across Coral Bay to East End and BVIs in the background. The main bed area is an open loft above the living area so it’s perfect for a couple (but not ideal for a group). Kitchen well appointed if a bit small. The space has a cooler vibe and more attention to detail than others we’ve stayed at in St. John. Lovely landscaping with orchids and native flowers and an inviting back terrace completes the picture. Great location right near the Coral Bay shops and restaurants on the quieter end of the island. Totally relaxing - if that’s what you’re looking for.

Beautiful and Peaceful

Loved this property! My husband and I really enjoyed relaxing on the deck both front and back of the home. It's so private and peaceful! Couldn't get enough of the gorgeous view, the sounds of the ocean waves at night, and waking up to the most beautiful sunrise. Loved the outdoor shower too! You can really tell the owners love their property. Can't say enough about the surrounding plants, trees, orchids, and so much more. Also, we never had to put bug spray on here at all which says a lot about the service they put into caring for this property! Thanks for sharing with us! Great trip!

Beautiful house and grounds, feels very secluded and safe

The house is beautifully decorated, the grounds are lush with so many interesting plantings. The kitchen has everything you need, the outdoor bathroom was a joy. We were two couples, we navigated the privacy concern of the loft bedroom by each night setting a time when everyone could gather in the main house for breakfast/coffee. And we allocated time for everyone to use the outdoor shower, allowing the necessary privacy by staying in the main part of the house (the outdoor shower is in the same area as the patio table and hot tub). Our only minor concern was that getting to the downstairs apartment requires that you are out in the weather, and it was an unseasonably rainy spring week when we were there. The location near Coral Bay is great, it feels like you have the island to yourself! And note: although it’s an only 9-mile distance to St Cruz, it takes about 30 minutes to drive the twisty hilly road.

Wonderful stay

The property was both beautiful and comfortable for our almost two week stay. The house is attractively furnished and well-maintained, with many different places to relax outdoors, like decks, patios and a hammock. There were both sunny and shady places to enjoy St. John's awesome weather. I loved the garden's beautiful flowers. Both beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for light cooking. The weather was on the cooler side, so the loft bedroom was very comfortable at night without A/C, but not sure how it would be in the summer. The enormous screen doors let in lots of fresh air and kept things cool. Dena was friendly and helpful with check in. The house is well-located in Coral Bay, near restaurants and a market, and near enough to the water that you can hear the surf--really a perfect location.

Views, privacy, location – just perfect!

We stayed at Seawing for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect home base for us as we explored St. John. We loved the full moon views over the bay from the patio, as well as the sunrises from the lofted bedroom. The kitchen was small but very well-stocked, and we enjoyed cooking breakfast every morning (then eating it out on the patio with our coffee – so nice!). The driveway was an adventure :) but so are all of the roads in St. John! We drove into Cruz Bay a couple of nights for dinner, and we loved how peaceful it felt coming back to our little secluded spot in Coral Bay. Yet it was a super quick drive to get to multiple markets, restaurants (we went to Skinny Legs twice!), and trails (the Johnny Horn trail was maybe 3 minutes away). Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better stay and hope to get back to Seawing again someday!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Reddington & Frank Borzenski

Host profile image
We purchased this property in 2012 after vacationing here for the 25 years. We love ST John and especially the Coral Bay area.

Why they chose this property

The views and breezes are truly spectacular from everywhere in the house. We love the privacy and quiet of Seawing, yet it is close to beaches, hiking trails and very good restaurants. The paved driveway and road leading to the house is an added benefit.

What makes this property unique

An attractive feature is the airiness and openness of the house. The intimacy of the rear tropical garden with the hot tub, natural gorge and waterfall after heavy rains is something we have never experienced in any villa.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
