Breathtaking Panoramic Views of the British Virgin Islands from hot tub & pool!

Situated on the breezy mountain top of Upper Carolina, Papaya Moon Villa Estate consists of an owners apartment on the upper level and on the middle level has two beautifully renovated independent studio suites, "A Place in the Sun" and "Suite Papaya". Shared amenities include several large covered and uncovered decks, outdoor grill, pool and pool deck and a garden hot tub located on the upper level with views of Hurricane hole, the East end of St. John and the British Virgin Islands. This VERY private home is situated on a large piece of land in a tropical island setting. If you are looking for one of the most private villas on St. John, "A Place in the Sun" deserves your careful consideration. With easy access to the Northshore beaches, Coral Bay restaurants and bars, phenomenal views, and a full list of guest amenities, this special Upper Carolina property provides its guests with a vacation full of peace and tranquility. The pool and large pool deck area is located on the lower level of the villa. The area is a beautiful garden setting with professional landscaping and comfortable furniture for sunning, reading, or just plain relaxation. While previous visitors rave about St. John's beautiful landscapes and seascapes, the views of the nighttime sky is equally incredible. Guests at "Papaya Moon Villa" are inspired by the intensity of the beauty of our stars and moon. What better place to view the beauty than in our comfortable spa!
The property consists of well-established tropical gardens containing Palms, Coconuts, Papayas, Bananas, Plantains, Coffee, citrus trees and an abundance of fragrant tropical plants and flowers.

Newly renovated the casual interiors of these Caribbean suites are painted with bright island colors and are furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan seating. Each unit has a bedroom, bath and kitchenette are both located on the middle level, entering down a staircase off a deck that you enter from a concrete paved road.

A Place in the Sun sleeps two comfortably, it features a King bed, platform daybed sitting-room, and faces both south and east, capturing stunning sunrises and trade winds making AC not necessary.

Absolutely beautiful place
Friendly and helpful hosts. A view that's absolutely stunning and a clean lovely vrbo. Sue and Ron were wonderful. The gardens they've created are stunning. We enjoyed our stay in Coral Bay immensely and would love to stay with them again.

The property was beautiful and the hosts were gracious and very generous. When our plane was cancelled they did not hesitate to help us by allowing us to stay. This did not surprise us but was very much appreciated

Great views, Great Deck, Great Hosts
Located in the upper Carolinas the views are great, and the evening breezes keep you nice and cool at night. The deck is huge and spacious, and Ron and Sue are great hosts. Definitely a great place to stay.

We travel a lot, wide variety in accommodations (keeps life interesting). Upon arrival, greeted by the pooch, MissThelma, then Sue. Immediately felt at home…..then she led us to the porch, stunning. A mountain top view east overlooking the Sir Francis Drake channel in the distance. Incredible sunrises, we’ll be back.

Peaceful views and quiet
Beautiful location and a lovely open apartment that maximizes the sweeping views. Hosts were friendly and very helpful, while allowing privacy. The location is convenient, although out of the busy part of the island. Only complaint was the bed is a bit hard - could benefit from a mattress topper and all cotton sheets (just don't understand polyester sheets in a tropical climate).

Stunning retreat in the treetops
When my husband and I were looking for a relatively last-minute getaway, we felt so fortunate to have found Papaya Moon. It was a truly beautiful, quiet and complete package with luscious gardens and stunning views. The owners, Ron and Sue, were attentive and helpful for these first-time St John visitors. The unit had no AC, but the fans, trade winds and open windows with screens made it very comfortable. There were beach towels and a great beach bag waiting on is to use for the week. While we didn’t use the pool, we enjoyed the hot tub a few evenings and it was so nice to have access to both steps from the unit. Our only issues we had were some tiny sugar ants that kept coming in (an issue that happens all the time at the beach) and the proximity of the property to the main Cruz Bay area. If you are interested in dinner and/or drinks in the downtown in the evening, the drive back to the property is dark, curvy and a little nerve racking. We ended up arranging taxis two nights so we didn’t have to drive, and that was expensive, but worth it to us. However, if you want a peaceful retreat, and don’t have a desire to go to Cruz Bay much with excellent proximity to the beautiful north shore beaches, this is your place! We loved our stay and would love to come back.
