Enjoy a chef’s kitchen, A/C throughout, paddleboards, beach gear, and quick access to St. John’s best beaches. Sleeps up to 4 guests. Huis Aan Zee (“House by the Sea”) has everything a couple, small family, or group of friends could ask for—including your very own private pool. The villa also includes onsite backup power in case of any power outages. This is a fully private villa—no spaces are shared. The entire home is for your exclusive use, and only the guests in your party will be staying here. The home spans two levels, each with its own layout and function: Lower Level (First Floor): Master Suite with a brand new Sealy Albany Hybrid king-size mattress (medium firmness for balanced comfort and support) Oversized walk-in shower with built-in bench Smart TV, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and large closet Upper Level (Second Floor): Fully equipped chef’s kitchen with stainless steel KitchenAid appliances and quartz countertops Indoor dining and living areas Queen-size tri-fold Murphy bed with memory foam mattress Private outdoor bathroom with shower Saltwater pool and expansive upper deck with panoramic views of Coral Bay and beyond Please note: the two floors are connected by an outdoor staircase.

Located atop Seagrape Hill in Coral Bay, the villa provides the privacy and serenity many guests seek while on vacation. Coral Bay is the quieter, more laid-back east side of St. John, known for its natural beauty, hillside views, and proximity to Maho Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Trunk Bay.

The scenic mountain road includes a few switchbacks and moderate inclines—part of the authentic St. John experience. A Jeep Wrangler or similar 4x4 makes the drive smooth and adds to the villa’s charm and seclusion.

It is located on the quieter side of the island and in short drives to the main beaches and sights. The home is extremely clean, well appointed, and A/C works great. Communication with the property manager, Dwight, was fantastic and he checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. The pool is a little larger than I expected from the pictures which was a nice bonus. Views are phenomenal and we enjoyed just hanging out on the decks. The only slightly annoying aspect of the property is that you have to go outside to get between levels, but really it's not a huge deal. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Christiane C.

This vacation was the best experience of my life. My girlfriend and I had an absolutely amazing time on St John, when it was time to return home, we just did not want to. I loved every thing about the island, its beauty and its beaches are breathtaking. We did an excursion to the baths in the bvi with cruz bay watersports and I highly recommend them it was a blast. I loved every thing about staying at huis aan zee and would absolutely return to this paradise.

Apr 30, 2019 #### Stunning views, quiet coast and plenty of privacy My wife and I were long overdue for a beach vacation and our experience staying on Seagrape Hill was WELL WORTH the wait. The house is perfectly situated on Seagrape Hill to catch a steady cool breeze and perfectly built to allow that breeze to keep us cool. No matter where we were in the house, the views were spectacular. Whether we were looking to relax on the beach, hike to see petroglyphs or grab a burger and a Pain Killer we were never more than a few minutes drive away. And when we wanted to cool off in the pool, it was only steps away with a perfect view to Hurricane Hole. We cannot wait to return! ##### Josh L.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Huis Aan Zee! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the level of care and attention to detail. The owner provided us with excellent insights about the area, and Dwight, the house manager, was incredibly helpful, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. The house itself is exactly as depicted in the photos, but the breathtaking views exceeded our expectations—we simply couldn’t get enough! The drive up the hill is steep, so a 4x4 is definitely recommended, but after a couple of trips, we found it to be no trouble at all. And honestly, the views make it more than worth it! Even though some of the local restaurants were closed for the season in August, we thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and dining with those amazing views. The house is impeccably maintained and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We can’t wait to return in the future! ##### George L.

Jan 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Don't look any further, this is the place to stay in St. John! Dave's property is an absolute dream. We stayed at the home for our Honeymoon, and everything about the stay was perfect. Dave was very accommodating, giving us great suggestions on what to do, and where to go. The house had beach chairs, beach bags, a cooler, and floaties, which came in handy when we went to the beach each day. The house was SO clean, with great design. The fans and the screen doors on the upper level bring in a great tropical breeze at night, and the outdoor shower is definitely a highlight. As it was our first time in St. John, we were unsure of staying on Coral Bay side of the island, but we were so glad we did! It is so quiet and peaceful, and there is a grocery store and some great restaurants so close by. We look forward to returning!! ##### Peter M. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon R. Mar 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning! We visited at the beginning of February 2021. From booking well over a year and a half ago, up to our last day, Dave was fantastic. He kept us updated on all the changes as the COVID-19 situation changed. Dave met us for check-in, provided a tour and gave us some great advice on the island. The home is immaculate. It's everything the pictures show and more. The sunrise is beautiful, the bed was super comfortable and the outdoor shower was a nice perk! We also loved the wall of sliding doors in the main living area, expanding our living space, allowing us to take in the view. The breeze was continuous and kept the temps cool enough, so we didn't need to use the AC and kept bugs away! The location was perfect, high on a hill, providing views, privacy, and peace and quiet (except for the roosters and donkeys, but we didn't mind that!). It's about 15 minutes from all the popular beaches and a walk away from Rhumb Lines and Skinny Legs. We highly recommend Huis Aan Zee for your stay on St. John. We fell in love and left a piece of our hearts there! ##### Shannon R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bronwyn K.

We had an amazing and relaxing week at Huis Aan Zee, which started well ahead of time with excellent communication from Dave. Everything was well thought out and so, so comfortable from the king-sized bed, to the beautiful sofa outside to watch the sunrise from with a cup of coffee. The views are phenomenal, looking eastward to Tortola and southwest over coral bay. There is approximately a 270 degree view from the house. The plunge pool was perfect for a quick dip in the afternoon. We cooked in the kitchen and on the grill several nights while there, and that kitchen has everything that you could want. We did not realize that St. John doesn't really have a functional recycling program, so we were glad to not have to buy any bottled water. The fridge has a cold-water dispenser, so bring your insulated bottles. Our week started off with some VERY brisk trade winds, so we spent most of our time at the more sheltered bays and beaches. The beach chairs and cooler at the house were an awesome addition and made our beach trips that much better! Salt pond bay is only about a 3.5 mile drive south of town, and had some awesome snorkeling - we saw several turtles as well as some healthy elk horn coral on the right side of the bay - as well as the entrance to the Ram's Head trail hike. If you're up for the walk up the hill afterwards, it's a quick walk down to the bottom of the road to the excellent happy hour offerings or dinner at Rhumb Lines - we went there twice, and they sometimes have some phenomenal live blues music. The driveway does take a bit of getting used to as it is very steep, but it became part of the adventure. This house is so high up on the hill, which lets it catch the trade winds to keep it cool and offers the amazing views, which is definitely worth the switchback climb. We would be thrilled to come back and are already missing it! ##### Bronwyn K. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin H.

The view is incredible and the property was clean and well appointed. Communication was great and the host helped ensure we could watch the Super Bowl. ##### Kevin H.
