This is a truly wonderful place to stay, and we had an amazing vacation. The property itself is beautifulâthe view from the deck is stunning (though slightly less private than the photos appear, but not a problem), the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, the king bed is comfortable, the outdoor shower is a fun touch, and we enjoyed all the wildlife around the property. The property manager was also wonderful and worked hard to make our stay enjoyable.That said, I think the listing details are a bit outdated and could use an update to better manage expectations. We switched to (and splurged on) this property specifically because the listing mentioned a heated saltwater pool in addition to a hot tub. In reality, there is a hot tub and a regular (unheated) pool. The pool also did not seem to be saltwater. While this didnât ruin our stay and is understandable, it was disappointing since the heated saltwater pool was a major factor in our decision and the higher price point. I personally didnât use the pool since it was a bit chilly for me, but my husband enjoyed a refreshing post-beach dip most days while I sat out and enjoyed the view with him. We realize now all we really need are those beautiful St. John beaches anyway.Overall, we loved staying here and would absolutely recommend it to others. If a heated pool isnât important to youâand you donât mind the adventurous (but totally manageable) drive up the switchbacksâyouâll have a fantastic time. Great location too.
SeaPalace is a beautiful spot in St. John (Coral Bay) with an unbeatable view, and we enjoyed our stay overall.What we loved:âąThe property was very clean.âąThe view is incredibleâabout as good as it gets.âąThe master bedroom A/C was cold and worked great.âąPaul, the property manager, provided first-class communicationâquick, clear, and helpful.What could be improved / clarified:âąThe listing described the unit as a two-bedroom, but we only had access to one bedroom.âąIt wasnât clear from the listing that the top and bottom floors are separate from one another.âąThe pool/spa jets and heater werenât working, and we werenât informed beforehandâwe only found out after reaching out to ask how to use them.Bottom line:Good value and I would recommend it, especially for the view and the cleanliness. I just think the listing and/or pre-arrival communication should address the bedroom access and the pool/spa status up front to avoid confusion.
Our stay was wonderful! It was adventurous, but also relaxing. Greg was great with communication, and Paul, the manager, was accommodating during our stay. We hope to visit the island again some day!
The stay and view was amazing and the property manager Paul was an absolute blessing. He made sure that all of our prayers were answered, he even took time out of his own day when he was around to talk me through a lot of the things to do around the island. Also gave us a huge insight on what we should look forward too from such things as restaurants gift shops ect. Amazing property with an amazing host/manager we will definitely look forward to coming back sometime.
Words cannot describe the beauty of this house, pictures do not do it justice. We had an amazing time celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary from snorkeling every single day driving around in our Jeep checking out the cute little restaurants and then relaxing at night watching the moon and enjoying the pool. We will definitely be back to this beautiful gem of a house. Definitely check out the Windmill Bar!! The most amazing views!!
Excellent stay. House was clean and fully stocked for our needs. We cooked dinner there every night and always had what was neede, even an extra propane tank for the grill. Greg was very responsive and Paul was very helpful and was immediately there when we needed him. The pool was great! the jacuzzi/ hot tub was warm, but never did warm up or turn on. The only thing i would say is bring bug spray if you get bit by bugs frequently, and bring a small fan. The bedrooms are air conditioned but the rest of the house is not and it was quite warm. We were there the last week of July. Other than that it was a wonderful stay.
Amazing week at Sea Palace. We are definitely a Coral Bay family and St.J is really just a magical place. It's our 2nd visit and stay on Sea Grape Hill and its tough to beat. Really preferred this location from our previous as offered cooling breezes and an super view of Hurricane Hole. Special shout out to prop mgr Paul for being very responsive and to our new best buddy Sebastian.
This is a beautiful home for your visit to St. John. The balcony and a pool overlooking to separate day views are unmatched. There were only two of us on the trip, but this home couldâve easily fit a larger group. We love the seclusion of the east side of the island well still being close enough to restaurants and he read access to North Shore beaches. I would highly recommend this rental.
Great property very convenient to Coral Bay and beaches. Paul was very helpful on arrival and throughout the trip. Great pool, very refreshing at the end of a day of beach or trails. Great views of the bay, and beautiful sunrise from the back deck.
It was a beautiful place to stay. We had everything we needed. Paul was an amazing resource and really knowledgeable about the island. There was an amazing breeze the kept us comfortable on the back deck and Maine part of the house, the mini split air conditioning in the bedroom worked perfectly to keep us cool in the bedroom at night! We will definitely return
We loved this house. There were thoughtful touches everywhere and a lot of amenities we appreciated. It was very homey and a good place to call home base. Some of the furniture could be updated and the hot tub is not a hot tub. It's a warm pool with soft jets. The property manager Paul was very prompt with advice and help. We would definitely stay here again!
This home is absolutely beautiful! We loved the spacious Lanai with the amazing views. This home was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for your trip, I have rented over 20 VRBO's and no other property comes close to offering what this home does. The property was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It was extremely nice to have a washer and dryer as well. The property manager, Paul, lives near by and is a great guy and is super helpful as he has lived on island for quite some time. If you are looking for a great experience in a peaceful community look no further!
