Coconuts: Indoor/Outdoor Living, Spa, Heated Pool & Privacy!

Located on Gifft Hill, 750 feet above sea level, Coconuts features a unique combination of panoramic ocean views, spectacular sunsets, extensive outdoor living and dining areas, and numerous high-end amenities. The ocean views are among the finest on St. John, and include up to twenty islands, stretching from French Cap in the south to Grass Cay in the north, and as far away as Vieques and Puerto Rico. Coconuts is known for its spectacular, year-round sunsets, and at night, the twinkling lights of St. Thomas beckon across the waters of Pillsbury Sound. The flat, hilltop location of Coconuts ensures complete privacy and gentle tropical breezes, as well as a flat driveway with ample room for several cars. The entrance is framed by large palm trees, and the grounds include a magnificent Flamboyant, gently sloping side and lower lawns, lush tropical landscaping, and mature fruit trees. The many restaurants and shops of Cruz Bay are only a ten minute drive away, all on newly paved major roads. Coconuts is fully air conditioned for your comfort, with whisper-quiet split A/C units.

The pool is solar heated, and at night, the pool light slowly changes colors, with its diffuse hues illuminating the courtyard. The seven-person hot tub is mounted flush with the main deck, and offers panoramic ocean and sunset views. The addition of wide, gentle stairs down to the new lower sundeck provides unobstructed “infinity deck” ocean views from the entrance, pool, and deck chairs.

Coconuts single-level floor plan consists of four hip-roofed buildings centered around the solar heated pool and interior courtyard, and connected by decks, covered walkways, and patio gardens.

Coconuts provides the ultimate in Caribbean indoor/outdoor living. Its outdoor living areas include an interior garden courtyard, the main pool deck with its large, built-in spa, the gazebo with its dining table, couch, chairs, and outdoor sound system, the new billiard porch with its pool table, outdoor kitchen and sound system, and a large lower sundeck with wrap-around bench seating. Unusual for St. John, Coconuts' grounds are flat and walkable, with large front and side lawns, gorgeous tropical landscaping, and mature fruit trees. An elegant and accurate brass sundial graces the ocean view lawn, and botanical plant labels identify many of the plantings.

Dining options are extensive, and include the great room table for six, the gazebo dining table for six, and granite counter dining for six by the outdoor kitchen. Dine in the gazebo, at a table with some of the finest ocean and sunset views on St. John.

Coconuts is among only a few St. John villas that offer two kitchens; a fully enclosed main kitchen with a breakfast bar for entertaining the chef, and a complete outdoor kitchen facing the view in the billiard porch. The outdoor kitchen includes a built-in 36 inch gas grill, Teppanyaki cook surface, dual side burners, hot water sink, fridge, illuminated bar, and granite counter dining for six.

The great room includes a high-definition 100 inch front projection system with a subwoofer, as well as a 42 inch flat screen TV. Use either to watch a movie from our extensive Blu-ray library, your favorite TV show or sporting event, or photos and videos taken during your visit to St. John. An HD-DVR allows you to record shows or games while you are at the beach, or out on the town.

Play a game of pool or table tennis in the new billiard porch, cook and entertain in the beautiful outdoor granite kitchen, enjoy the star-filled skies from the hammock deck, or simply relax in the gazebo, pool, and spa. Whatever you prefer, Coconuts is a truly remarkable villa for your visit to the beautiful island of St. John!

Coconuts has open access to the pool from any room, and accordingly presents an inappropriate safety risk for toddlers. Infants, as well as older children capable of holding their own in a 51" deep pool, are welcome.  Parents with young children should note that Coconuts' architecture is such that the master and guest bedrooms, and the great room with its loft bedroom, each have their own entries from the interior pool courtyard.  A couple with young children might prefer a villa where the bedrooms are accessed from the interior of a single structure.

Great house. Loved the Dutch pod design. Having 2 of the bedrooms separate from the main house allowed for privacy,with each having its own bathroom. The outside area was great. Having a pool,hot tub,pool table,kitchen and dining area. This is where we spent most of our time when we were at the house. The location was also great. Cruz bay is only a 10 minute car ride away with many beaches reachable within 25 minutes. We also discovered some great local places just minutes from the house. The people of St John couldn’t have been more friendly. We only had 2 small issues and the home owners resolved them within hours. We would definitely rent this house again.

Relaxing week at Coconuts
Incredible view! Even better than the pictures show! We spent a lot of time in the outdoor areas (kitchen, pool, hot tub, gazebo). Coconuts has many nice amenities, and there are detailed instructions where necessary. We used the burr grinder and coffee maker, the outdoor grill, the spa, and the pool table, and outdoor Bluetooth speakers. We used the 103” projector/screen to watch a DVD, and there is a Roku if you want to stream things. Kevin and Danielle were responsive to any needs/questions. We highly recommend Coconuts!

Epic Family Trip
For my 65th birthday I decided to take my family (2 adult daughters, their significant others, and my 7 year old granddaughter)to St John. I had spent a few weeks on St Thomas and St John in 1968. My daughters & I all work in the medical fields in very stressful jobs. Coconuts was the perfect place to kick back and relax! We took full advantage of the indoor and outdoor kitchens, the pool & jacuzzi. The bedrooms offer lots of privacy and individual AC units let us all keep as cool as we wanted. The views are incredible. There was absolutely nothing lacking. We highly recommend this beautiful oasis!! M Williams DVM

Wonderful Stay!
My family of 6 stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! We loved the view and outdoor entertaining area. We cooked all our meals outside on the cooktop and had the best time! The pool was nice and cool which was so nice to cool off in after a day of exploring the island. The hosts were so helpful anytime we had a question. We loved the location, very central to the beaches and to town. I would highly recommend this place!

An all-inclusive like experience!
We just returned from our stay at Coconuts and we are thrilled with the choice we made to stay at this lovely villa. The location is excellent - easy access to any of the beaches on the island and we went to many! The property is unique given its amount of land and location at the top of a hill. This provides a generally flat lot with an absolutely AMAZING view! And the landscaping is equally amazing with a lush garden of flowering plants and trees. The owners, Kevin & Danielle, have thought of just about everything you would want and have made it available - coolers, shade tent, chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear (though we brought our own), and even a vacuum to clean out the rental car before returning. Everything is well documented and in good working order. The AC units were more than sufficient to quickly cool rooms even on the hottest days. Water pressure was sufficient and the outdoor kitchen is a huge benefit. Hard to find anything to be critical about. The property is close to the road and dumpsters are nearby which means some noise from the road and frequent visits from the junglefowl and feral cat community. Neither of these things detracted from our stay, but are worth noting. Kudos to Kevin & Danielle. Great hosts, wonderful property, we would absolutely return to Coconuts!

We spent days at the beach utilizing the chairs, towels and floats they provided and spent most evenings in, cooking in the outdoor space and playing pool/table tennis and enjoying the view!

Amazing stay!
Our family (wife and I, four children ages 8-15) had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space, with the fantastic view across the water to St. Thomas. The pool, hot tub, and billiards table were all wonderful. We used the telescope at night to see the craters of the moon. Everything was in good condition and working order. Excellent communication from the owners as well. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to St. John, this is where we will stay.

I don’t think there is anything this property does not have. Everything about the villa was amazing. The views are breathtaking at all times of the day. It’s close to the grocery stores, the town, and the beaches! The outside grill and pool table were great to use while making dinner. I cannot recommend this place enough. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and responded promptly if I had any questions. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay that is relaxing, clean and close to everything look no farther! Also, the entire place is air conditioned which was great for the August heat!

Coconuts is a little slice of paradise!
We had the most amazing time in St. John, and a huge part of that was staring at Coconuts! I am going to try to summarize the highlights! 1. The property itself was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and a retreat all on its own! We loved how there were separated sleeping spaces for everyone in our party so everyone could have their space! The kitchen was well stocked. And the owners had every single thing we needed during our trip.. I.e. beach chairs, floats, snorkel gear, even down to shopping bags for grocery shopping. The outdoor living space and the stunning tropical vegetation was all a wonderful part of the experience. 2. AMMENITIES! Pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, pool table, ping pong, corn hole, hammock… to name some of our favorites! We hit up the beaches during the day and spent the afternoons at the Villa because it was an oasis by itself! 3. The owners, Kevin and Danielle, have so clearly done everything the can to make sure their guests’ experiences are wonderful. Their communication before and during the trip was above and beyond - with an incredible amount of information to help you plan your trip. Their attention to detail in everything made experience that much more enjoyable… from labeling light fixtures to providing detailed are instructions on how to use amenities. 4. The VIEW. That deserves a bullet point all on its own. We never tired of sitting and looking out over the islands. It is truly spectacular. 5. Location - while it was about a 15 minute drive to most beaches, we enjoyed being away from hustle and bustle and up on top of the island where the views were spectacular. We cannot wait to return to Coconuts. Already trying to plan our next trip!

Perfect St. John Villa!
Our stay at Coconuts was nothing short of idyllic! Kevin and Danielle were the perfect hosts and have created an island oasis for their guests. It felt as though we were staying at our own private resort! The view that greeted us each morning was breathtaking, and the sunsets in the evening were beautiful. We loved that it was centrally located on the island and provided easy, flat, off road parking. We spent our days hiking or exploring the beaches, then returned to Coconuts in the afternoons to rest and relax. We loved that there was plenty to do for the family such as swimming, napping on the hammock, playing pool or corn hole-Coconuts provided something for everyone! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to any friends visiting St. John.

Gorgeous property!
The property is as pictured. Danielle and Kevin were very helpful and made checking in very easy. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. The outdoor kitchen was really nice to cook in. I do recommend renting a car instead of relying on a taxi to get you to places. Most of the drivers didn't know the location or didn't seem to want to go up that way, so we had problems with scheduling a taxi to come get us. It's not in walking distance to town. It's about a 10 minute ride though so it wasn't long. Getting taxi along the beach side wasn't a problem, just from the property for us. Other than transportation problems, everything was great!
