We highly recommend this house!

This was our 4th trip to St John and 3rd time renting Moonswept. My husband and I have two young boys (9 & 11) and we all love our Spring breaks at Moonswept. We’d highly recommend this house to families with any age kids or 2 couples. The house and grounds are beautifully maintained and the view is breathtaking!! It is a great location with a short drive to many beaches and fun restaurants. The pool and jacuzzi allow for a lazy late afternoon swim after a day at the beach. We were so happy to see St John come back after the hurricanes in 2017 and all the residents are friendly and happy to see the tourists return to their amazing island.

Beautiful, tranquil location

Gorgeous view east of the British Virgin Islands, sunrises and just the expanse of the lovely Caribbean Sea. Spacious, quiet and well work the 800 foot trek up the mountain in four-wheel drive low. We also hiked it on foot for our daily exercise. We're repeat visitors. Love Moonswept!

Continues to be a wonderful place to stay

Moonswept Villa continues to be a wonderful place to stay, with incredible views toward the BVIs. Our 3rd stay at this property, ideal for 2 couples, equivalent master ensuite bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, pool, hot tub and seating inside & out for dining and relaxing. Very private, high above Calabash Boom, just beyond Coral Bay. Following the devastating hurricanes a year and half ago, the island of St John is making a huge comeback. The beaches are as beautiful as ever. The locals everywhere are very appreciative and grateful to have tourists returning.

What a delight to spend a week at Moonswept Villa!

“What a delight to spend a week at Moonswept Villa! Though the storms delayed our stay here for a year it was worth the wait. We four have been fortunate to travel often to some very special places but never have we stayed in such a beautiful and breathtaking spot. Heavenly. Terre and Garry thank you for sharing your special home. As we four also have owned destination rental homes we very much appreciate the care for your home and all the little accidentals (i.e. supplies) that you have here. It was also hard to leave your wonderful patio to go to St. John’s beautiful beaches!! Wishing you blessings and all the best for Moonswept. We look forward to our return.”

We had a wonderful stay, the views are spectacular

We had a wonderful stay at Moonswept. The views are spectacular, and the villa is beautiful, comfortable, and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the deck, with its hot tub, grill, and pergola -- a perfect place to relax. Excellent communication from the owners and the property manager regarding booking and arrival. We hope to return!

What an amazing two weeks we had here at Moonswept.

“What an amazing two weeks we had here at Moonswept. This is by far the most gorgeous, warm and welcoming place we’ve stayed on the island. Thank you so very much for the hospitality. We are looking forward to returning again for another long holiday break.” –

What a magnificent time we had on our 8th visit to your beautiful Moonswept!

“What a magnificent time we had on our 8th visit to your beautiful Moonswept! We never expected to enjoy it more than on previous visits but indeed we did! There is a sweetness and tranquility that is mystical in this spot and we feel so lucky to be able to share in it. This trip was transformative and healing in the perfect way that we needed. ”

My favorite spot in the universe

This was our 8th stay at this gorgeous house and it was one of our best. We are so relieved that our beloved Moonswept survived the hurricane! The island has recovered so quickly and its gracious and loving spirit is on full display! The owners, Terre and Garry are so wonderful and we are blessed to feel apart of their Moonswept family! The house is perfectly designed and elegantly cozy. Our favorite place to hang out is the pool area under the cabana looking out over the BVIs. I always pinch myself to see if I’m really there or simply dreaming about my favorite spot in the universe. Words are inadequate to convey how lovely it is!

Thank you for sharing Moonswept – the view is wonderful!

“Thank you for sharing Moonswept – the view is wonderful! We have visited the island many times although this is the first time we have stayed here, and we will definitely be back. Kelly was such great help, so friendly and professional for all out needs. Thank you for sharing your beautiful villa.”

“First time for us doing the “villa thing” and it was great. Moonswept was like staying in a mansion! The place is so well kept and fully stocked with everything we could want. I would highly recommend staying at Moonswept to anyone.”

The villa feels like home.

“We decided to try living the “Caribbean Life” by coming to St. John. We definitely made the right decision. Moonswept Villa offers the most stunning views. Between the gorgeous sunrises and moonrises were beautiful beaches, lots of sunshine and amazing peace and quiet. The villa feels like home. Thank you for supplying just about everything you need to live the “Caribbean Life”. Thanks to Kelly for always being there with answers to questions and recommendations. We truly enjoyed the privacy and the beautiful villa.” –

Amazing Week in St. John!

“It was our second visit to this very special villa. The villa itself is in just as good shape as it was pre double-hurricane from last year. The views are unmatchable and instantly transforming.

The villa is very comfortable for our 4 person family. Our boys loved the pool as did we. It does require a jeep for the switchback road to get up and down to the Coral Bay road but the road was also in fine shape. We can’t wait to go back.”

Hands down our favorite place to stay!

“Our second visit to Moonswept Villa – and it is hands down our favorite place to stay! The views from this beautiful home are outstanding and like watching a moving picture. Kelly and Brian are an awesome team, keeping Moonswept running smoothly and always quickly answered questions.”

Moonswept is by far our Favorite

“We have been going to St. John for many years, staying on Coral Bay, and Moonswept Villa is our favorite house to stay in. This was our second time staying here, four in our party, and it was exactly as we remembered it. The views are unobstructed and gorgeous – even from the pool and hot tub. The house is all windows across the side facing the bay and it’s like watching a moving picture. Two master suites and lots of sitting and lounging areas make this a really comfortable house to stay in, it’s very spacious inside – you really want to live there forever! The kitchen is really nice with an island and has everything you need. The property manager, Kelly, was very quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. This was our favorite trip to St. John and so relaxing to hang by the pool and read. We did beach snorkel days, a power boat to Jost (the Finest Kind boat) and a beautiful sail on the Cimmaron. Aqua Bistro, Skinny’s and Indigo are all serving great food. But it was always wonderful to come back home to Moonswept and our view, sleep in their comfortable beds and wake up to coffee and the view again. We have stayed in five different houses on St. John, all nice, but Moonswept is by far our favorite. Hope to be back next year!”

Post Irma

“We have been coming to St. John for 6 years now. When Irma hit last year, we were devastated that we wouldn’t be able to make our annual trip in April. As time went on, we watched how quickly the island was recovering on social media so we booked our annual trip for 2018 at Moonsweept. We were the first to rent since Irma & I have to say the villa did not look that way at all. Everything was beautiful! The view is just amazing! We loved sitting in the living room, reading & looking out the windows with a gentle breeze as well as sitting by the pool. It was very private. Kelly was very attentive to any questions we had. We left very relaxed & thank Moonswept Villa for that!!! ”

Can’t beat this place!

“Moonswept is the ultimate St. John getaway villa! A huge upgrade from the late Maho Bay Campground (where we stayed 6 times) and more isolated than Upper Carolina (isolation on St. John is a good thing!). Everything you need in one place. Dave the caretaker is excellent, available, and tended to our every need. One level living was perfect for our multi-generational family. Like MacArthur, we shall return!”

Jon Snell
Swept Away

“4th time at Moonswept was phenomenal! Once again, the views were remarkable and indescribable. While the trip up and down Calabash Boom can be challenging, the reward is oh, so worth it! Villa was great as always! Dave keeps the villa in tip-top condition and it certainly shows. We hope our next visit will be two weeks as one week is not enough! Moonswept always gives us a serious case of villa gravity! We have so many plans to hit the beach and find ourselves unwilling to leave such a special place!

We would recommend for anyone wanting to truly get away from it all…”

Heavenly Week at Moonswept and Coral Bay

“We just came home from a most glorious week at Coral Bay and your beautiful Moonswept villa. As advertised, it has magnificent views and fresh breezes. It is beautifully appointed and laid out Our daughter and son-in-law, who are relative newlyweds, joined us for the week and they too loved it. They had been to the Maldives for their honeymoon last August and could not decide which was lovelier but were leaning toward St. John.

We were out and about every morning to a different beach with the chairs, umbrella, and cooler, then moved on at lunchtime, either to a little roadside lunch, or a picnic lunch at a different beach. Spent a day on a motorized double-hulled 26 footer visiting Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and many of the little islands that litter the waterways and which offer snorkeling or just pristine, empty beaches. There was a country music festival arriving for the weekend with a preliminary build up at Jost Van Dyke which was noisy, fun and a bit wild. We looked in on it but left quickly as noise and crowds we can have anywhere.

We cooked at the house four evenings enjoying the gas-fired grill as well as all the pots, pans, bowls, etc. that are part of the house. Ample towels also were wonderful as well as the washer/dryer. Wildlife was abundant with mongoose, donkeys, goats, iguanas, chickens and all the tropical fish and turtles. We saw a young deer venture into the water’s edge at sunset at Water Lemon beach to browse or just cool off.

Calabash Boom, the dirt road heading up the switchback to the villa, was easily negotiable with a four-wheel jeep but had to be taken at a slow pace.

Dave D, the caretaker, was not to be seen but was available for any questions we had. We pretty much navigated the island ourselves but he was most willing to help if we needed anything.

We loved our stay and are hoping to get back again.”

Jon Snell
Amazing View and a great place to stay

“This was our 3rd time to St. John and was our favorite place to stay. So many great extras in this house. We could tell that a lot of effort went into the planning and maintenance of this home. The beds were super comfortable, the breeze was wonderful (no AC needed), and the patio/pool area was exceptionally well planned. We loved sitting out under the stars in the hot tub. It was so private and quiet we slept with the windows open every night.

The view is amazing!!! Pictures don’t do it justice. I could sit in the chase lounge all day and watch the clouds change the lighting on the east end of St. John, Tortola, and many other islands beyond.

The house had everything we needed to enjoy our trips to the beach including coolers, very nice beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach towels.

The kitchen was very well stocked, and we enjoyed cooking in the evening after spending the day at the beach. The newly opened dolphin market just down the road was wonderful. It made packing lunches for the beach very easy.

If you have never been to St. John, the road up to the house may be a bit of a shock. A 4 wheel drive Jeep will help with the bumpy gravel road and incline. Dave was very helpful in finding our way up the first evening we arrived. While it was a bit of an adventure, it was not dangerous. I always felt safe on our drive up and down. The view, house, and privacy was well worth the journey.

Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home!”

Excellent Villa

“This was our second visit to Coral Bay and this house was even better than the first one we had rented last year. The location is high enough up to get spectacular views! The house, pool, and grounds are beautifully maintained by the caretaker (Dave). Wonderful house and location for my husband, 2 boys (5 & 7 years old) and myself. Would highly recommend this property to anyone interested in a quiet location with amazing views.”

A Little Piece of Heaven

“Well, we are not excited about leaving this little piece of heaven! What a wonderful, relaxing getaway from hectic work at home. Views, sounds, (lack of sounds), everything you could want. No doubt in our minds – we will be back!”
