Banana Sweet Top! 2 BEDROOM!! Hot Tub and Tesla back up power!

Welcome to Banana Sweet in beautiful Coral Bay with its laid-back shops, restaurants and music scene. This is a spacious, open floor plan apartment for 4. We added a hot tub and we are positioned with views overlooking the Carolina Valley and Hurricane Hole. You can’t beat the location which is a short 5 minute drive to Coral Bay and 10-15 minutes to the beautiful North Shore beaches. We offer a very comfortable property at a reasonable price. The bedrooms are accessed from inside the house, so no need to go outside to get to a bedroom.

This house is on the upper level, which is also ground level, and includes a living/dining/ kitchen space as well as 2 good sized bedrooms. There is a large outdoor deck as well for dining and enjoying the view both day and night.

There is a lower level apartment with a private entrance that could also be available depending on your needs. Be prepared for a short drive up our hill some of the road is gravel and some is cement. 4WD is not required but good ground clearance can be helpful.

Banana Sweet has everything you need for a great stay. It’s spacious, the view is fabulous and the house is fully outfitted. We enjoyed the hot tub! The drive up is rough and a little challenging but not unusual in Coral Bay.

We loved the house! The road getting there was horrendous. We had ordered a Jeep from the rental company but they gave us a much bigger vehicle. By the end of the week we had gotten pretty good at navigating the washed out sections. We are not nightlife people so we loved being in Coral Bay and being closer to our favorite beaches.

Beautiful Spot

We very much enjoyed our stay at Banana Sweet. The place was clean and comfortable, the views from the deck panoramic, and the hosts were helpful and well organized. Coral Bay is a very cool spot and there is endless places to explore. Great trip! Thank you!

Snorkeling Trip

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was exactly as described & very clean, new & nicely decorated. Kitchen well supplied. We enjoyed the outdoor deck. The drive from the main road is pretty rough but we were in a Jeep, so we were ok & knew that before. We enjoyed exploring the entire island. We would stay here again.

Nice house, bad location

Banana Sweet is a really cute house. They have done a great job making the inside very nice and charming; however, the location is one of the worst on the island and my husband and I have been coming to St. John for years. The house is located just above an old junk yard and down the street from the dumpsters, both of which have attracted homeless people, making the location feel unsafe. Additionally, we expect the roads to require 4WD on the island, however, the road up to Banana Sweet is about 75% unpaved and incredibly rocky. Many would not feel comfortable with this drive and this is mentioned nowhere in the description. We would not stay here again.

Stay last week

The house was very nice, had most everything needed except the coffee pot did not work, so we just used the French press. Unfortunately we did not check and were unaware that only bedrooms had air conditioning!! During the day the common areas of the house were so hot one could not remain in house much less cook anything! Also, down the hill from the house is garbage dump which smelled horribly and even at times could be smelled at top of hill where house is located! As for the road up the hill to the house, it is terrible and not much more than a horse trail with very large rocks and deep trenches! Don’t even try the road if not in a jeep! And pray you don’t meet another vehicle coming the other direction! If the house were in a different location and had A/C in common areas I would definately stay again. However, with the issues I have mentioned I would not stay again!

Just amazing!

This was the second part of our trip to the islands and it was our favorite despite rain. Do not hesitate to book this property. It was the BEST property I have ever rented. Things to know: 1) the view is indescribable, pictures do not begin to compare to the beauty of the property inside and out, and we enjoyed just sitting on the balcony and listening to the birds and feeling the breeze. Even my 17 year old did. Even when it down-poured it was enjoyable. Loved the hummingbirds! 2) the place was so well equipped and the kitchen was amazing! It truly felt like home. 3) I panicked when they didn’t send an address to me in advance and thought I’d been taken. The reason is that an address will NOT help you at all. They truly need to lead you to the property. You WILL need a jeep or other 4WD vehicle with good clearance. Just get the jeep-you will regret it if you don’t. Everyone gets one here and for a good reason. I have pictures of the parking lots full of jeeps. Don’t skip this one. 4) bring your own snorkel gear which will be way less expensive and much more convenient especially since many of the bays don’t have rentals on this island. It’s not like st Thomas. 5) everything shuts down early in coral bay. Not a party town-go elsewhere if that’s what you want. We did St Thomas first and that was fun too-different. This is quiet natural beauty. 6) we are outdoorsy hikers. This was our favorite island of the three. Felt very safe too.

Bliss at Banana Sweet

My wife and I chose Banana Sweet for our honeymoon on St. John, and we couldn’t have been happier. We were in the lower unit which gave us plenty of privacy, and the owner has taken great care to create a modern and clean rental. They have snorkel gear, beach chairs, and coolers; which was great since we didn’t have to spend time and money finding a place to rent them to us. We had great views of the valley and Coral Bay! And there are some great restaurants, Skinny Legs, Rhumb Lines, and Love City Cafe a short drive away. Highly recommend renting a dinghy to get lunch on Lime Out on the water. It is only accessible by boat, and definitely a memorable experience! There is an awesome breeze that flows through the apartment. The unit has AC, but honestly you shouldn’t need to use it. We enjoyed having the windows open and listening to all the jungle life and feeling the cool breeze instead while sleeping at night. In short, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend staying at Banana Sweet! We can’t wait to come back!
