Ultra-Private St. John Studio with Pool, Hot Tub & Stargazing/Bird watching Deck

A Place in the Sun at Papaya Moon Villa Estate
Perched on the breezy mountaintop of Upper Carolina, A Place in the Sun is a beautifully renovated, independent studio suite offering unmatched peace, tranquility, and privacy. Situated on a massive lot within a lush tropical island setting, this special property is one of the most private villa estates on St. John.
Inside, the casual Caribbean interiors are painted in bright island colors and furnished with comfortable wicker and rattan seating, offering a perfect, authentic island vibe.
Space & Comfort
• The Bedroom: Features a comfortable King bed and a unique platform daybed sitting room (Sleeps 2 comfortably).
• Natural Cooling: This suite faces both South and East, perfectly capturing the refreshing Caribbean trade winds so A/C is not necessary!
• Private Conveniences: Includes its own private, well-appointed bathroom and fully equipped kitchenette.
• Easy Access: Conveniently entered down a short staircase directly off the concrete paved road.
Spectacular Shared Amenities & Views
Guests enjoy over 1,000 square feet of shared exterior deck space with plenty of areas to lounge in total privacy or gather in a group:
• The Views: Panoramic vistas overlooking Hurricane Hole, the East End of St. John, and the British Virgin Islands.
• The Pool & Deck: Located just below on the lower level, featuring a sparkling swimming pool nestled in a beautifully landscaped garden setting with premium lounge furniture.

Great Birding & National Park Getaway

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views on the quieter side of the island. Property has lovely gardens, beautiful to see and very attractive to birds (one of our key interests). We saw 18 “life” species on the island, 14 of which we saw from the expansive deck. Hosts were very personable, with good recommendations on places to bird, eat and snorkel. It helped that they had snorkel equipment and beach towels for our use. Property was very clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Very fun trip, we highly recommend.

Amazing views of Coral Bay and the sunrise!!!

The views above Coral Bay are amazing from the deck and the sunrises over the BVI's from the hot tub with a cup of coffee are beyond description!! Ron and Sue were so accomodating from the time we arrived until our departure and were there to help us plan some activities and even dinner reservations. Truly a laid back location, but; all the beaches were still accessable in 15-20 minutes via the jeep and Cruz Bay was only 30 minutes if you are looking for more action.

World class views

Ron & Sue are long time 30+ year residents, with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Located just below the ridge line above Coral Bay, there were views of the entire East End, Norman Iskand, Peter Island and even Virgin Gorda. As Ron had communicated, despite its location a 4WD vehicle is absolutely not necessary to reach Papaya Moon. With a 4 week stay, this saved us more than 40% on the car rental during peak season. The very large covered deck space acts as a 2nd living space. There is a fully equipped kitchen with 2 burner stove & microwave. The ample closet space was perfect for a longer stay. There is great attention to detail in both the cleanliness of the unit and blends seamlessly into the surroundings landscaping. Great value.

Reviewing Paradise

We stayed at Papaya Moon for two weeks at the beginning of March 2025 in the “Place in the Sun” suite. Simply paradise. The mountaintop views and breezes are heavenly. It is a very private location, surrounded by Sue’s beautiful gardens and the natural beauty of the island. You have your option of lots of outdoor activities – swimming, kayaking, snorkeling in turquoise waters; hiking the many trails that range from challenging to easy-going strolls. Or you can relax on the deck and gaze at sea and sky every time you look up from your book. We’d call Coral Bay the quiet side of the island, in contrast to the busier beaches closer to Cruz Bay. Coral Bay has some good places to eat and hear music, and a pottery studio/gallery/gift shop with work by local artists. Ron and Sue are wonderful hosts. It was a pleasure to meet them and learn about their experiences on St. John and obvious devotion to their island community. All the amenities in the description are accurate – clean, well-equipped, wifi, nice little kitchen, etc. We were also able to take a look at the other suite, and it is equally lovely.— Cecilia V. & Carl F. 3/22/2025

A beautiful view of a secluded paradise

I'm not even sure where to begin, but the photos of this lovely villa definitely don't do it justice. From the amazing view of the entirety of Coral Bay, to the clean and modern decor of the suite, and even the amazing view of the stars in the night sky from the hot tub, everything about our trip on St John was made better by our stay at A Place in the Sun. Situated at one of the highest points in the Upper Carolina area of Coral Bay, the house was about a three minute drive off of the main road, the last one on the street. Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted by our hosts, Ron and Sue, where we were given a tour of the suite. I was immediately drawn to the amazing full wrap around porch that went around our suite, providing a lovely place to sit in the shade and take in the natural splendor of our surroundings. This view extended to our bed, allowing us to view the amazing sunrise without even having to get up. We mentioned to the owners our desire to do as much snorkeling and hiking as possible, and they were able to provide us a number of great suggestions for these activities, as well other places around the island that would be worth visiting. Throughout our stay Sue and Ron were incredibly friendly as well as helpful, making our stay even more special. Despite how much we enjoyed all our outings in St John, I was always happy to come back to our lovely villa, and can't wait for an opportunity to go back again.

Pros and Cons - wait for it!

Pros - so many to list and not sure where to start! Location - phenomenal! The view is second to none on this island. From every area of the property you have an incredible view to sit and enjoy. Property owners - I have never really engaged property owners in my prior stays with VRBO properties except to get checked in and to check out. Ron and Sue were a delight to interact with through out our week long visit. They gave us updates during the week about events or happenings on the island and so glad they did as we enjoyed each activity they mentioned. Accommodations - The room we stayed in is the East Side portion. Ron mentioned to me that a lot of people inquire about the East Side as the West Side always gets booked first and the reason is the West side has air conditioning. I think this is funny because I am a 7th generation native Floridian and cant fathom the idea of living without air conditioning, except when in the Islands of the Caribbean! If you are staying somewhere in the islands and the villa you are renting is not in a valley, book the East facing room and leave the windows wide open all week! The trade winds and that salt air will do wonders for you. The best part of this East facing room is - you can wake up every morning and watch the sunrise from your bed with a cup of coffee!!! Waking up like this allows you to make the most of every day while on vacation! Simply incredible!!! Now for the Cons - I wish I didn't have to leave!

We had a fabulous 6-night stay at Papaya Moon Villa. The villa is at the end of a road and tucked amid lush, tropical gardens. Our unit, A Place in the Sun offered sweeping views of the bay and the British Virgin Islands beyond. The unit was meticulously kept, clean and comfortable for the two of us. The deck was furnished with lounge chairs, side tables and a table for breakfasting. The unit was well-equipped for the week, and included everything we needed for beach trips: chairs, towels, coolers and snorkeling gear. The hosts were terrific! Sue was welcoming and generous with tips for where to go and what to do. During a rare downpour that kept us inside, she texted to check on us, and later came down with a bag of food from her own supply. We loved chatting with her during our stay and would definitely return to Papaya Moon.

Peaceful views and quiet

Beautiful location and a lovely open apartment that maximizes the sweeping views. Hosts were friendly and very helpful, while allowing privacy. The location is convenient, although out of the busy part of the island. Only complaint was the bed is a bit hard - could benefit from a mattress topper and all cotton sheets (just don't understand polyester sheets in a tropical climate).

Stunning retreat in the treetops

When my husband and I were looking for a relatively last-minute getaway, we felt so fortunate to have found Papaya Moon. It was a truly beautiful, quiet and complete package with luscious gardens and stunning views. The owners, Ron and Sue, were attentive and helpful for these first-time St John visitors. The unit had no AC, but the fans, trade winds and open windows with screens made it very comfortable. There were beach towels and a great beach bag waiting on is to use for the week. While we didn’t use the pool, we enjoyed the hot tub a few evenings and it was so nice to have access to both steps from the unit. Our only issues we had were some tiny sugar ants that kept coming in (an issue that happens all the time at the beach) and the proximity of the property to the main Cruz Bay area. If you are interested in dinner and/or drinks in the downtown in the evening, the drive back to the property is dark, curvy and a little nerve racking. We ended up arranging taxis two nights so we didn’t have to drive, and that was expensive, but worth it to us. However, if you want a peaceful retreat, and don’t have a desire to go to Cruz Bay much with excellent proximity to the beautiful north shore beaches, this is your place! We loved our stay and would love to come back.

Truly a beautiful property, inside and out. Secluded extremely private location with unbeatable views and still easily accessible to Coal Bay. The grounds are filled with beautiful flowers, fruit trees and native vegetation. The hosts were extremely helpful and clearly take great pride in the property. We will without a doubt be returning.
