Come enjoy all St. John, Virgin Islands has to offer in peaceful Coral Bay

Salty Kisses & Goodnight Wishes is a one bedroom (with AC), fully equipped, home on the peaceful side of St. John, in lovely Coral Bay.
Coral Bay’s bars, restaurants and small shops are just a few minutes down the road and the North Shore beaches are short 10-minute drive away. And if you are seeking a bit more excitement Cruz Bay is not far and we can even arrange taxi service if you would like to plan a carefree night on the “town”.
While you can always enjoy a gentle breeze and very few bugs the house also features ceiling fans and AC.
The bedroom has a luxurious queen size bed, DISH television and DVD player, and offers beautiful views of the lush green mountains from the slider doors that lead to the expansive deck.
The living room is inviting and offers a carefully curated library of books that tell you the story of St. John (fiction and non fiction) as well as a collection of games, birding books and binoculars to enjoy the daily feathered visitors. DISH television and DVD player and Bluetooth speakers allow you to play your own soundtrack for your stay in paradise.
The full kitchen has everything you could want including; microwave; dishwasher; coffee maker, toaster, blender; full sets of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, knives etc. unleash your inner chef if you are so inclined. Or enjoy the delicious selection of restaurants situated in Coral Bay.
The deck offers a lovely view of Coral Bay harbor and has a dining area as well as comfy outdoor sofa. In fact that is where we spend most of our time when we are there!
Private driveway and quiet neighborhood make this a perfect place to relax and let Love City recharge your soul.
WIFI provided and AT&T cell signal is excellent at the property.

A spectacular gem!
The accommodations were superb! Everything was as advertised, the view was spectacular, it was very comfortable and clean. The amenities were great. It had it all! The host was extremely responsive, and easy to reach. St. John’s doesn’t disappoint from the beaches, hiking, and shopping, and this spot is at the top of my list of places to return to.

Great Hosts
We had a great time staying at Amanda’s. The house was very clean, the beds comfortable, and the sheets were amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed to cook dinner for us. She is extremely accurate with the description of the listing and the intricacies of Island life. The power went out for two days during our stay, but Amanda was very communicative before hand and prepared us with water flashlights and a battery operated fan. I’ve never had a more communicative host that made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Ideal location and accommodations
If you’re a couple looking for something other than a traditional hotel, this is the place. Amanda picked us up at the Ferry bc we were renting her Jeep, which I highly recommend. She then gave us a tour of great places to see on our way to the house-also fantastic and helpful. The views were out of this world. Whether you were on the patio or laying in bed. Mountain View, sea view-check check. The space was just right. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare a full meal. Bedroom was a great space with views and sliding doors to patio. Bathroom had double sinks and gorgeous shower. Living room had couch and chairs, books, brochures on every possible thing to do. It was all very well thought out and it’s clear that Amanda knows how to make the whole experience trouble free. Here’s all the “extras” that aren’t obvious til you need them: -Bluetooth speakers-nice ones! -battery powered fans just in case -flashlights-just in case -board games/playing cards -beach towels -coolers -beach chairs -beach umbrella -outdoor furniture on deck -gallon of drinking water in the fridge! One last thing. We ran over a nail and it punctured a tire of the Jeep. Amanda took care of it quickly (thanks Ernie) and we were back on the road to the beaches. We would stay again and plan to!! 10/10!!!

Perfectly peaceful place in Coral Bay!
We had a great time at Amanda's place. Everything was very clean, super quiet and very peaceful. Plenty of deck space to enjoy the wonderful views of the valleys and the bay. The AC was a super plus for us and made the stay very comfortable. House had alot of interesting reading material about St. John and the neighboring islands. Everything we needed to make the stay completely comfortable. Absolutely would stay there again. Thank you!

Perfect peaceful stay
The home is very well taken care of, and clean as can be. AC is a real treat on the island and was well appreciated! The host has taken care of all the comforts of home. All the furniture is very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need, and the patio has great views of Coral Bay. I also rented the jeep from her and it was very clean and provided a great way to get around to the North beaches and running into town. This is a great central location between Coral Bay and the best beaches! The beach supplies were fantastic to make our beach trips more comfortable. Very thoughtful. Host is great at responding quickly to any questions you may have during your stay! About the host—she is so gracious and kind—bending over backwards to help make sure our stay was as smooth as possible after some unexpected changes in travel plans. I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to a friend.

Perfect getaway!
This place is a little gem on St. John! It had absolutely everything we needed-from beach chairs and bags to suntan lotion and bug spray. It is on the quiet side of the island, which I love, and close to the restaurants in Coral Bay and some of our favorite North Shore beaches. The home was super clean, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning is a huge plus. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The villa is roomy, very comfortable, and is very well stocked with everything you need at home or the beach. It was perfect for the two of us for 10 days. The location is also excellent if you like to split time at Coral Bay beaches or north shore beaches. Amanda is an excellent and very attentive host. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Home with an Amazing View
We loved staying at Salty Kisses and Goodnight Wishes. The house is exactly as shown in the listing and even better in person. The host is easy to communicate with and the house has maps, books, and information about the restaurants and services on the island. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The bed, linens, and towels are incredibly comfortable. This was our first visit to the island and our friends who visit each year are in awe of this home.and its amenities.

Just what I was looking for
Great place (exactly like the online photos) with great amenities- beach chairs, cooler, etc. I took advantage of renting the jeep which was a great way to get around the island. As a solo traveler, it was much appreciated to be met at the ferry after a day of traveling and then drive back to the villa. Communication was great as well.

Just perfect
My husband and I stayed 6 nights and loved our time in Salty Kisses and Goodnight Wishes. We chose Amanda's place because it looked peaceful, is on the quiet side of St. John, and is close to the best hiking and snorkeling areas. We absolutely made the right choice and would definitely stay there again. The rental was exactly as pictured and described. It was very clean, with amazing views from the inside and outside areas. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bedroom was large and comfortable. The road to the driveway was narrow and hilly, but all of the roads in St. John are! It was nice to be close to the main road. We could be just about anywhere within 20 minutes. We rented the Jeep from Amanda, which included transportation from and to the ferry dock. So easy! Amanda drove us along North Shore Road, pointing out the major sites and giving information about the area along the way. She also showed us the grocery markets and some of the other businesses in Coral Bay before arriving at the apartment. The Jeep was ideal for getting around the island; its maneuverability and size is really helpful in the tight parking areas and on the hilly, narrow roads. Communication with Amanda before and during our stay was fantastic. She answered promptly and was always very helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed meeting her and are so grateful that she chooses to share this amazing property with the rest of us!

We would love to come back someday.

Clean, easy to get to, quiet, and just right for 2 people. Owner lives downstairs but you'd never know that anyone is there...but she is there if you need anything, even a rental Jeep. We have stayed in 10 properties on St. John over a 25-year period, and this is our favorite. Hope to get back again soon.

The house is perched on a steep hill overlooking Coral Bay and the fun neighborhood (Skinny Legs restaurant). It’s just the right size for 2. Nice covered and uncovered deck. Well-equipped kitchen. Nice features such as a shower with stone walls. We rented the manager’s Jeep which was convenient. Amanda was great to work with and very accessible.

Lovely little villa
This was our first time in Saint John, and we were confident this place would be great — but it truly exceeded our expectations. Check-in was easy, the views were stellar (lush, green, iguanas in the treetops!), and the house was clean, cozy, and conveniently stocked with everything from beach floaties to a cooler to birding books and binoculars. Amanda was great. She let us know she was there if we needed anything, but also gave us plenty of space. It was a super special trip overall, and staying here was integral to the experience. We hope to be back again!

Had a great stay
The property was even nicer than we had imagined. It looked out over Coral Bay, and located a short drive from restaurants and the town. Also not far from the spectacular north shore beaches. Amanda was lovely, and was keen to make sure everything went well for us. For those unfamiliar with the area, this location is at the other end of St John from the main town of Cruz Bay and the resorts. A jeep is not essential, but get something with power and clearance because the major roads are narrow, steep, and are either winding upwards or plunging downwards. Fortunately, Amanda's house is comparatively easy to access. The views as you drive around are spectacular. Roads there are populated by "wild" donkeys, goats, deer, iguanas, occassional hermit crabs, and other jeeps, which are also on the wrong side of the road. Fun places to eat are close by, as are markets to buy food. These are not suburban supermarkets, however, and the prices reflect how far the food has to travel to get to you. The people are a lot of fun, and get pizza at the Salty Mongoose and hang out there. You will need insect repellant esp around sunset, because of the no-see-ums. And coral-friendly sunblock. The best coral snorkeling is probably at Hawksnest, and Maho beach has turtles if you snorkel out toward where the boats moor. You can rent snorkel fins and mask for about ten dollars a day at the dive shack.

Great location, but some quirky hang ups for us
The communication and check in process was great, and the location of this stay is wonderful for Coral Bay - very convenient. It was quite clean and nicely furnished, but we felt like the description wasn't entirely accurate for this listing, so it didn't meet our expectations. The water is not drinkable (and there was none provided), so it's a good thing we had time to make a grocery run before we came. Maybe it was just the time of year, but our stay was extremely hot! There was no breeze in the house at all during the day, and it took 5 hours for the AC to cool off the bedroom at night. Since the shower is technically considered "outdoor" because it's open to the outside air, you can't leave the bathroom door open at all because it's hot and muggy - which also makes getting ready very uncomfortable. Another quirk was the kitchen gas stove - it worked, but the ceiling fan above the stove keeps it from cooking evenly (and we couldn't find a switch to turn it off, so we had to manually get a chair and pull the chain). Before we figured out that was the problem, it took 20 minutes to cook scrambled eggs. We loved the look and style and convenience of the beach chairs/towels/etc. but overall this place was not what we were expecting based on the description.
