Fish Bay

Second Wind sits on a south facing lot on the very edge of the National Park in Reef Bay, on the south coast of St. John. We were one of the first companies to offer rentals in this unspoiled neighborhood, and as of 2015 Reef Bay still remains a largely undeveloped and beautiful hideaway. From your villa it is about a 1-2 minute walk to the Reef Bay path and a 5 minute hike down to tranquil beach walks along the usually deserted white sands of Reef Bay Beach - one of the most private National Park beaches on St John. For hikers, a scenic 1 mile hike along the Reef Bay shoreline brings you to another white sand beach at the head of Reef Bay. There is also an old sugar mill here with a self guided interpretative tour. Another 1.6 mile National Park trail leads you to the turquoise waters, white sands and snorkeling at Lameshure Bay. Along the way, visit the petroglyphs and a partially restored old manor house. You can also take a more challenging 1.2 mile hike to the top of scenic Bordeaux Mountain. It's a 4 mile drive into Cruz Bay, all of which is on what passes on St. John for a mostly paved road, but Reef Bay is well off the beaten path, so few tourists ever explore this beautiful and relatively unknown area of St John.

Second Wind is a one level villa that consists of a great house in the center, and a bedroom cabana to the left (east) and the right (west) of the great house. The great house contains the living/dining/kitchen areas plus the bedroom/bath with king or twin beds. The two cabanas are master bedrooms/baths that are similar in size and appointments. Second Wind faces southeast and gets plenty of sun, with a spacious sun deck and also a large covered deck for relaxing in the shade, with plenty of deck furniture for both.

Welcome to Retreat, our luxury 2 bedroom ocean front villa located in the beautiful Island of St John in the USVI. The villa consists of three quietly elegant pavilions which center around a private garden courtyard on a hillside. It’s just a fifteen minute drive from many gorgeous restaurants featuring local and continental foods in Coral Bay. Stunning views of the bay and across Sir Francis Drake Passage to the magnificent island of Tortola encompass you as you approach The Retreat by road.

The front of each pavilion is a glazed rollup door, allowing the entire wall to open up to Caribbean breezes and the magnificent view. Just below the house, down a set of stairs and a private switchback trail, the stunning sandy beach provides a perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming or pure relaxation.
