We picked the right house for us as it was perfect for two people and as nice as advertised. The location was perfect as it was a short drive to the North shore beaches without going into Cruz Bay. We were able to explore the other side of the island and loved the quieter beaches. The house had a great deck with amazing views of Coral Bay. ##### Tim M.

You will not want to leave each day. We saw gorgeous sunrises, and sunsets. This place is so peaceful. Lots of gorgeous plants and trees, humming birds and flowers. They have the best books available for you to browse about St. John’s as well. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us. ##### Robin G.

You won’t find those kind of views anywhere else on the island. Make sure to wake up early to catch the sunrise. The mattress was hard and I believe does need to be replaced along with a couple pillows and the comforter was scratchy. There was no soap in the bathroom pump. We wanted to spend time down by the pool but there was no umbrella for shade. Small things but little things make a difference especially a good bed when you’re there all week. We didn’t make it to the hot tub because it was just too warm. Wish we could’ve thought the views would’ve been amazing to sit there with a cocktail. There were multiple rooms to stay so it would be perfect for multiple families. Sit out on the back deck with a good book and you’ll be in heaven all day! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan F.

It’s quiet and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We had everything we needed and picked up whatever we were missing from the small market/store located a few minutes away. Even though it was our first trip to St. John’s, we quickly figured out how to get around. It was pretty easy (25 minutes or less) to get to several beaches and downtown for meals. If you chose to stay in, there’s still so much to do. We enjoyed the views, took lots of pictures and lounged around the pool. It was pretty much the perfect vacation spot and we’d highly recommend it. ##### Corinne R. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Salli B.

We recently stayed in this condo oct 5-12 in 2019. THE VIEW - JUST WOW!!!! Words cant describe how beautiful the view was. The pool was very clean and the room was so cute with the decor and we loved the view from the shower window. Every inch of the place had an amazing view of the whole island. We saw goats and donkeys riding up the road to the house almost every day. The house is very close to all the beaches within 10-15 min drive to all the beaches and about 10 min drive to most restaurants then about 25 min drive to town to cruz bay. We had such a great time and it was so romantic and relaxing! We had the whole place to ourselves and it was so amazing to get away just me and my husband. The room had provided: coolers and beach chairs and beach bags and all the things we needed for the beaches. The grocery store was only like 10 min away which was a plus. I will be back for sure! This was such a great place! I can not say one thing bad about this place. The owners even texted me while we were there to make sure we were happy and everything was going good. It was an AMAZING TRIP!!!! ##### Holly D. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug H.

All the extras, cooler, towels, even snorkel gear were shared with us which was great as we did not have to pack those additional items. With a pool, hot tub, and fantastic views you could easily be content just staying in, if it were not for the gorgeous beaches beckoning you. Papaya Suite felt like home and the only bad part was having to leave. We will definitely only want to stay here in our future visits to St. John. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina G. Apr 9, 2019 #### St John Awesomeness We absolutely loved Suite Papaya and St John!! Suite Papaya is ADORABLE and in a perfect location with truly beautiful views of the sunrise, rainbows (double) and Coral Bay. We had all we needed to relax and enjoy and the location made every beach, hike and Cruz Bay very accessible. We loved being able to hop in the pool after a day snorkeling and hiking to cool off. Sue and Ron are incredible hosts. They were generous with their time and recommendations. Coral Bay is on the quiet side of the island but Ron and Sue gave us the inside scoop on restaurants, live music, local artist and the best beaches - so we filled our days and nights with pure St John awesomeness. Our only regret is not being able to spend more time there. We miss you Thelma! ##### Gina G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie B. Apr 7, 2019 #### Breathtaking view with luxury look, home feel Papaya Moon Villa Estates is like no other property I have ever visited. The feeling of home with the secluded luxurious setting and breathtaking views is unbeatable. The beaches are easy accessible, the hiking is amazing, the ability to just stay in and grill and watch sunrises and sunsets is available too. Having a pool that is right out the door to take a dip is refreshing and lovely! Papaya Moon has what everyone is looking for on vacation. Relaxation, peace and quiet, and yet, full access to all of the fun night life and day time festivities if you wish. Ron and Sue are great hostesses and provide ideas along with your own time on the island! Papaya Moon is our favorite Caribbean destination and could be yours too! Give it a try, I promise you will not be disappointed! ##### Carrie B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen S. Mar 4, 2019 #### Beautiful view, well equipped, friendly. Papaya Moon sits high on a hillside above Coral Bay, a quirky village of friendly restaurants and businesses. Papaya Suite is an attractively furnished unit that is equipped with all the necessities for a terrific vacation. (Beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, books, pool, hot tub...) Ron and Sue are friendly helpful hosts who take pride in their property. We spent a lovely week in Papaya Suite and give it our highest recommendation. ##### Karen S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B. Feb 18, 2019 #### Wonderful! Our stay in Suite Papaya was even more than we hoped for. The space, pristine when we arrived, is beautiful, vibrant, and tasteful, and outfitted perfectly with everything needed to make it home for the time we were there. The location is fantastic—breathtaking sunrise views over the BVI, delicious breezes, lush and varied plantings, easy access to the north shore and east end beaches, and a short drive to Coral Bay. What a treat to have the pool and hot tub, especially under a starry sky. Ron and Sue are warm, welcoming, and extremely generous hosts. We really, truly didn’t want to leave, and look forward to returning. ##### Leslie B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Novotel Toronto Vaughan Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Novotel-Toronto-Vaughan-Centre.h2292867.Hotel-Information) > > [Guest Houses Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Guest-Houses.d178314-aaGuestHouses.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Jay Peak Ski Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jay-Peak-Ski-Resort-Hotels.0-l6115880-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sandman Hotel & Suites London Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Suites-London-Downtown.h5943.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Inn at Sidney](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Beacon-Inn-At-Sidney.h1190460.Hotel-Information) > > [Sawridge Inn & Conference Centre Edmonton South](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Conference-Centre-Edmonton-South.h26851.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Moose Jaw](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Moose-Jaw.h6751440.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Intelier Palacio de San Martín Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Intur-Palacio-San-Martin.h804778.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halfmoon Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Halfmoon-Bay-Hotels.d181035.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mohali (IXC) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ixc/del/chandigarh-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/fll/buffalo-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyc/kelowna-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/edi/vancouver-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to New York (LGA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lga/montreal-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/cok/moncton-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/msp/vancouver-to-minneapolis) > > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to Nassau (NAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/nas/charlottetown-to-nassau) > > [Air Canada Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-vancouver-intl-to-pearson-intl/ac/yvr/yyz) ### Cars > [Pickup Car Rentals in Gatineau](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickup-Car-Rentals-In-Gatineau.d6136959-tPickup.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) > > [National Car Rental Car Rentals In Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/National-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Downtown-Toronto.d6057934-c42.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Miami.d178286.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Florence](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Florence.d1222.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/16/Barbados) ### General > [Visit Downtown Brooklyn](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Downtown-Brooklyn.dx6140148)
