Romantic, Private 1 Br Getaway With Pool And Stunning Views

Skyloft, a modern vacation cottage newly constructed in 2015, is perched on a tropical hillside 600 feet above Coral Bay one mile from the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one-half mile from the shops and restaurants of Coral Bay. The home consists of two buildings, a kitchen and a bedroom/bathroom. There is a spacious tile deck, a back deck shaded area, and external grilling kitchen, and a 12-foot diameter freshwater pool. There are two tropical outdoor showers. Access to the Skyloft deck and the spectacular view is by way of three flights of stairs from the cement parking area.

Many Coral Bay Restaurants, such as Skinny Legs, Rhum Lines/Indigo Grill, Oasis, Danforth and Aqua Bistro, are less than one mile away.

A 10 minute drive northwest brings you to the Maho, Cinnamon, and Trunk Bay beaches. A 10 minute drive east brings you to Salt Pond Beach. Also within this radius are hiking trails, plantation ruins, water sports rentals, restaurants, bars and shops.

The Skyloft indoor kitchen includes a sink, a 2-burner stove top, a small microwave, blender, toaster, a unique, full-capacity, under-counter refrigerator/freezer, cabinets and eat-in counter space for 2. There is a small but complete inventory of cooking pans and pots along with necessary utensils and plates.

The outdoor kitchen features a built-in gas grill, a sink and electricity. There is a sheltered outdoor dining/lounging area between the two buildings. Skyloft is specifically designed for guests seeking privacy and elegant outdoor living.

The bedroom is a separate, enclosed, fully-screened building with a queen-sized bed, ceiling-fan, air conditioning, two closets, and an enclosed bathroom featuring access to an outdoor shower. The outdoor shower has stunning views of Coral Bay, Hurricane Hole, Tortola, Norman Island, Peter Island and the Sir Francis Drake Channel.

The large tiled outdoor deck is perfect for lounging, dining and relaxing. At the east end of the deck is a 12-foot diameter freshwater pool. The second outdoor shower is by the pool.

Skyloft faces Northeast. The sun travels behind the property in the southern sky, providing natural shade for the deck in the morning and in the afternoon. There is all-day shade in the outdoor dining area and off to the side of the deck beyond the external grilling kitchen.

The property is secluded and private, surrounded by a lush tropical forest.

Beach towels, beach chairs, and a cooler are available for excursions.

There is a minimum stay requirement of 7 nights

Skyloft is closed during the months of August and September. Check the calendar for precise closing and opening dates.

Perfect in every way!
This was our third trip to St John, so we obviously love the island. And if you could create the absolutely perfect place for a couple to stay, Skyloft is that place. Killer view, fifteen minutes from all our favorite east side beaches and snorkeling spots and very comfortable. Skyloft is well-appointed and maximizes outdoor living space in a place where that’s exactly what we want to do! It’s just a gorgeous place. Reviews suffer from grade inflation. If it were allowed, this place is 6 stars!

Another wonderful stay at Sky Loft
My husband and I had another wonderful stay at Sky Loft! We stayed here last year also. My husband loves the pool deck & I love the covered sitting area. It was my favorite place to be in the morning watching & listening to the birds, lizards, and hermit crabs. The views from any area of Sky Loft can not be beat! I will admit that we were slightly put off that the owners were living on the property this time, but we quickly got over it. The driveway was indeed worse than last year, which the owner warned us about due to the recent rain.

Private getaway
Enjoyed our stay here. The owners directions sent prior to our arrival were very helpful in finding the house. The drive up is hair raising at first, but it gets better with time. The house was exactly as pictured and described. We had a wonderful stay here!

Mountaintop oasis in the islands
Private villa high above Coral Bay with magnificent views of the east end of Saint John. Immaculately clean living space surrounded by lush vegetation and ample opportunity for outdoor living with shaded dining area and large tiled deck for enjoying the view as well as the pool. The outdoor showers were great for taking in the scenery and getting close to nature. 4wd required to get up the road but that just adds to the charm.

Private and beautiful
Clean and well designed. Perfect for a couple looking to be close driving distance to diving, snorkeling, trails, grocery market, and restaurants but secluded and peaceful. Great views of Coral Bay, and awesome outdoor areas to sit and relax after taking a dip in the pool. Nice outdoor cooking area and well stocked kitchen. You will love your stay here!

Absolute paradise
First timers to St.John and couldn’t have asked for a better experience . I had many questions and all were all answered and so very helpful hiding me through everything including our rental vehicle . My husband and I stayed a week for our honeymoon and it was everything we could have asked for. We’re already planning our next trip to St.John .
