Little Palm - a great place to feel at home

Ann and Rik have a truly special home and my sister-in-law and I completely enjoyed our stay. We’d head out early for snorkeling having been to nearly every north shore beach and more, then return home to relax and either stay in for the evening or head out for great local music! The house location made it easy to get everywhere on the island. I hope to return someday!!

Beautiful stay!

We had such a lovely stay! Every morning, we had coffee and read on the beautiful, breezy screened-in patio overlooking Coral Bay before heading out to explore the island. It was so relaxing. Our one week vacation felt much longer, in all of the best ways. Hosts were so very responsive and warm. Such a special place to stay!

Wonderful layout and view

This is a great place! The checkin process was clear and easy. The location is nice and quiet and off the road. The layout is as open and airy as it looks in the picture, and it is wonderful! Kitchen and bathrooms well-equipped for vacation usage. The two decks are massive and are perfect to soak in the beauty of Coral Bay. The drive to Coral Bay restaurants is very convenient. I would stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

This villa is the perfect place to stay in Coral Bay with a 5 min drive to dinner, the market and a couple beaches. The villa is clean and the perfect place to make your breakfast and enjoy morning coffee while watching the sun light up the bay below. Then pack up your lunch in the cooler provided by Ann and Rik along with 4 snorkel masks, noodles, beach chairs, towels and umbrella that you can take to your adventures and be at Trunk Bay or Maho Beach within 20 minutes. Little Palm is the perfect quiet villa to stay for a relaxing and exploring island vibe experience. Ann and Rik were great hosts by proving all we needed to know in advance with easy entry instructions and restaurant and market recommendations that did not disappoint. We're already planning our return trip! Thank you for sharing your little gem with us!

A Wonderful Tropical Experience

Our party of three adults loved the location and experience of renting a house on St. John in January, 2023. The house was clean and comfortable and contained everything needed for our visit. The appliances are up to date; the water was excellent; the wifi worked well. Mill Vista Road is paved up the hill from Highway 10.

Great place

Little Palm is very roomy with 2 levels and separate bedrooms. The upper screened deck is wonderful with a great view. Very relaxing. Location is convenient to everything on the island. If you like to snorkel Little Palm is central. 20 minutes max to the best locations. Don't miss the Windmill Bar when you visit St John. One of the best views anywhere. Highly recommend Little Palm if you appreciate a great value.

First screened in porch/balcony with no insects and the view of Coral Bay and town! All the basics for cooking and barbecuing needed. Ann was ever so responsive the morning after we arrived to help us access wifi and use TV. We broke coffee caraffe first morning and she was there by noon with a replacement.

The Perfect Place for Us

Little Palm was the perfect place for us. Ann and Rik were wonderful hosts. They provided tips on the best places to go, were quick to reply to text messages and everything else we could have needed like beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and snorkel gear were provided. We loved the wrap around screened in porch and we spent many evenings having gatherings around the large porch dining room table. The drive to get to the house is easy as well as making it up the driveway (which was also easy to turn around in). We would definitely stay here again!

This house is beautiful & the open concept is so relaxing! My teenagers commented multiple times how amazing the house was & that they’d never stayed anywhere like it!We found the house to be very well appointed. Everything that we looked for was available. There were written directions for the tv, the lights are labeled… definite attention to detail. There were plenty of fins and masks, a cooler, chairs. They’ve really thought of everything The hosts are super responsive. We had a slight challenge with the oven & they were available promptly with a solution. I think this house is best for families with teenagers or two couples traveling together. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with younger children here due to the house layout … the two rooms are are different floors and both floors have very large decks. Amazing for us, just a word of caution for families with younger kids. We REALLY enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back someday!

Open Air Livin'

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Rik and Ann. The house is very unique in the sense that it is completely open air while being protected from mosquitos because there is a screen that wraps around the entire house. Location was great and provided easy assess to both north and south shore beaches. Our only regret is that we did not get a chance to meet Rik and Ann because they seem like really great folks...next time! Lewis

Wonderful Home Above Coral Bay

First...definitely spend most of your vacation time in VI on St. John's staying in Coral Bay. Quiet, peaceful, and close to the best beaches in USVI. Second, stay here. The house is spacious with 2 master bedrooms, one upstairs and the other downstairs, lots of dining space and comfy seating and a well thought out kitchen. The stars of the house are 2 large decks with great views of Coral Bay and with lots of seating upstairs and wonderfully cool breezes coming off the Bay. Finally, what makes it perfect are the hosts. Rik and Ann were very helpful and friendly.
