Anchorage Aweigh overlooking beautiful Coral Bay

Anchorage Aweigh is our exquisite 2 bedroom villa overlooking Coral Bay harbor. This adults only villa boasts a centrally located pool and large pool deck with picturesque views of Coral Bay, St John. Anchorage Aweigh villa is comprised of a main house with two master suites. Both bedrooms are located on separate floors and allow maximum privacy. The maximum number of guests at any given time is four. It is a tranquil and serene setting with spectacular views of Coral Bay harbor, mountains and the historical 250+year-old Moravian Church.

The villa has travertine marble floors, cable railing, air-conditioned bedrooms, outdoor stone showers, full kitchen, indoor/outdoor living and dining areas, a gas grill, and a pool that is all tiled. Appliances include a full-sized stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, microwave and dishwasher.

Please note our calendar is accurate and up to date.

The villa offers two equal king-sized bedrooms with gorgeous furniture. The mattresses are Serta memory foam with cooling gel. The upper bedroom is on the main level. It opens out to a screened-in covered porch. The bedroom is air conditioned. The bathroom has a granite vanity. Attached to the bathroom is an outdoor stone shower under an open air roof. The second king bedroom is located on the lower pool level, facing the harbor. It has the very same amenities as the upper bedroom. It has a covered porch facing the harbor, which is not screened-in.

The kitchen has blue pearl granite counters with an exquisite glass tile backsplash. It is filled with all of the amenities you will need to prepare many gourmet meals. There is an indoor dining table to enjoy should you decide to eat inside.

The living room has two love seats overlooking both the church and harbor. There is a 12' sliding glass door facing the harbor for you to enjoy the panoramic views. There is a flat-screened television with DVD/DISH in here as well.

The main house has an expansive wrap-around porch. We have an oversized sectional outdoor couch to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a dining table to enjoy meals alfresco. Sit and enjoy a cool drink on the breezy, covered porch while watching the sailboats bobbing on the harbor.

From the living room, the pool and lower bedroom are accessed through an indoor set of stairs.

Coral Bay is located on the quiet, mellow side of St. John. A 2-minute drive down the hill will bring you to a variety of shopping, restaurant and entertainment options. Beaches and the National Park hiking trails can all be found a short distance away.

You'll definitely want a rental car so you can take advantage of some of the most pristine views of the lush, tropical hillsides and aqua blue seas. The 'busy' town of Cruz Bay is a 20 minute drive away.


We have a gorgeous 10 x 20 mosaic tiled swimming pool overlooking the harbor, with a 600 sq. ft. pool deck and adjacent tropical garden. Part of it is shaded by a huge royal palm tree and part is under cover of a shaded porch.

Adjacent to the main house, yet completely separate, is our cottage. It is a one-bedroom unit that is our living quarters while we are in St. John part-time. The main house and cottage were designed with privacy in mind. As you can see in the photographs, both houses face in different directions.

As you can see from our reviews, Anchorage Aweigh has become a popular vacation destination. We hope that you will find our villa, and the island of St. John itself, a wonderful place for your holiday.

A fantastic stay
My friend and I had a fantastic stay at Anchorage Aweigh! The villa was clean and very comfortable. It was the perfect size for us. The view was amazing, and we loved sitting outside listening to the various animals. We went to different beaches early in the morning to avoid the crowds and then enjoyed the pool in the afternoons. The road to the villa and the driveway are very steep, but we quickly got used to it. I highly recommend this villa!

The Fabulous View
If you stay in Coral Bay, stay here! From the wonderful deck with a beautiful view of the bay, to the refreshing pool, our stay was sooo nice. The place it clean, the air conditioning in the bedrooms keep you cool, and the beds are comfortable. The location is just up a hill from Skinny Legs and Rhumb lines and Lime Out and a short drive to the North Beaches and Salt Pond Bay. You also may get some cute visitors around the property of goats and chickens. The pool off the lower level was lovely to float in for the days that you just want to hang out and relax. The management was very responsive. There were a couple of power outages on the Island and the management sent the times when aware. (Hopefully these are resolved). There are umbrellas, chairs and coolers provided for your days at the beaches. My twin daughters enjoyed having the downstairs bedroom near the pool. The driveway is a bit steep but you get used to it. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this house for your vacation.

Our Favorite Getaway
This was our second time staying at Anchorage Aweigh and it already feels like a home away from home. I could not imagine staying anywhere else while on island. The check in process was seamless, though, we have already been here before and knew how to navigate the switchbacks up to the house. I was able to do yoga on the deck overlooking coral bay and it was a dream. We enjoyed the pool and the nice cool bedrooms at night (power cooperated!). We love the 'noises' of Coral Bay (chickens, goats, frogs/crickets at night). Management was easy to communicate with and I would highly recommend anyone stay here!

Amazing Experience
Was our second time staying at this property and it was amazing as expected. Convenient to everything in Coral Bay, relaxing, and we'll appointed. The property is starting to show signs of age/use and some reinvestment definitely needs to be made in terms of the living room furniture, closet doors that are broken, paint touch up, etc. Would still highly recommend this property but hope to see some improvements before we visit again in the future.

Beautiful Surrounding / Crazy Roads
We enjoyed the location but the roads are so narrow and crazy! Hard at first to get used to driving on the left. Groceries very spendy it is more cost effective to go out to eat than making your own meals.

A Fantastic Property in Paradise
Everything about Anchors Aweigh exceeded our expectations. The location overlooking Coral Bay, St.John is breathtaking! We especially enjoyed the beautiful pool area and the multiple outdoor spaces on both levels. The well stocked kitchen made our meal preparation easy and enjoyable. The property managers checked in on us via text messages to make sure we had everything we needed. The photos on the listing are a100% accurate representation of the property. We had a great time!

What a great location!
What a great house with a beautiful view! Communication with both the owner and property manager was easy. We were met in Coral Bay and taken to the house on our arrival day. Had groceries delivered and they were put away for us House was great! We ate most of our dinners and all our breakfasts at the house on the porch. Could not ask for a better view! Pool was great after a day at the beach. Showers were awesome. Would definitely recommend Anchorage Aweigh.

Beautiful Villa in Coral Bay
The villa was beautiful and very well-kept. We loved the view of Coral Bay. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, the beds comfortable and the living room very nice. The pool was beautiful. There were many sitting areas in the outdoor living spaces, which we loved. We were met by the property manager and escorted to the villa when we arrived, which was perfect because otherwise we would not have found the place on our own. Though a bit scary, we felt comfortable with the steep and curvy hill to the villa after about a day. We suggest that you get your groceries at Starfish Market in Cruz Bay. This had the best selection of all of the markets. All in all a great stay.

The house was exactly as described, clean with amazing views and in a perfect location. We were close to restaurants and grocery but yet it was a super private location. Kara, the property manager was fantastic as well. We are definitely coming back to St John and when we do we will be staying here again.

Breathtaking Idealic View
The villa was most comfortable. The covered decks allowed awesome views of Coral Bay and mountains. The drive up was a bit of a challenge because of the switchbacks but we are used to St.John drives after 10 plus years visiting there. We met the very nice owner since he was in his private house nearby. Our villa was completely private. Everything you need for a day at the beach was provided. Sean on island manager very responsive for our need with assistance with tv remote.

Love every minute!!!
The property manager was great at communicating. When we got off the ferry, grabbed the jeep and hit the grocery store, we let them know we were heading that way, they met us at the welcome to Coral Bag sign and we followed them to the house. They gave us the rundown. When the wifi stopped working one day, we sent a text and they were on it- it wasn’t in their control. The house views are to die for! Definitely need bug spray outside, but that is everywhere. The house had everything we needed. We did learn it is best to have one person shower at a time and don’t run other water, but that is the life of cisterns for water and everywhere on the island. We cooked most nights. We loved being remote. Don’t expect nice restaurants close, but Skinny Legs at the bottom of the hill had great burgers. We loved being close to little lamshur bay for snorkeling and went twice! Definitely need a 4wd for the island. Being close to dockside dingny was nice for going to Ine Out to eat. Everything we needed was close but other than grabbing more snacks, drinks and things to cook, we were set. Highly recommend!!

Worth the drive!
We loved staying at Anchorage Aweigh! The drive to Coral Bay from Cruz Bay seems long at first, but we quickly got used to it. The road/driveway to the house involves some steep ridgebacks, but it ended up being worth it for the view. We were escorted up the hill when we arrived, which helped. We loved seeing the goats on the road near the house and woke up to them outside our window on a couple of occasions. The pool was really clean and very nice! The house is incredibly spacious and the bedrooms were cooled nicely (which gave a reprieve from the summer heat). We would stay at this villa again.

St John Get Away
Stayed at property May 10th thru May 18th. Beautiful home with everything you need for a great vacation. Kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances and utensils, pots/pans you would need. The view cant be beat overlooking Coral Bay. Open the sliding doors in the living room and let the breeze in. Bedrooms had ice cold air conditioning. Close to 3 different grocery stores and a number of restaurants within a 5 minute drive. Pool was fantastic. We especially appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers as we used them all week visiting the many beaches of St John. We were in constant contact with property manager on our drive to Coral Bay from Cruz Bay. Sean met us and guided us to the house. The drive up is very steep and twisting but the jeep we had, had no issues. After a few trips up and down you were good. Highly recommend this property. Would stay there again. 5 stars!!!

Perfect home base for the week
Anchorage Aweigh was the perfect home base for our week on St. John. Perfect for two couples as each level provided our own privacy. The wrap around porch offered the most beautiful views of Coral Bay to enjoy morning coffee and dinners. The pool was refreshing after a day in the sun and salt. We loved the “extra guests” around the property consisting of goats, iguanas, and birds. We loved everything about this quiet oasis. Pure paradise!

Great setting
Beautiful views, nice breezes, covered porch and pool area with shade and sun. Can’t beat it. Comfortable beds and well stocked. Owners home shares overall property but there are many private spaces. Owners were not there during our stay so there was total privacy. We have been going to St. John for several years and this was definitely among best villas we stayed in! We plan to return again next year.
