THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Coral Bay has a more laid back and less commercial vibe than Cruz Bay. We have a much slower, “no worries” attitude with locals and tourists alike so take your time, relax and enjoy everything and everyone. Island culture dictates the courtesy of starting any conversation with the locals, a simple Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening. Not to do so is considered incredibly rude. Good manners are still held dear to locals and goes a long way. Locals tend to be very conservative so please be respectful and do not wear your bathing suits in public except when you're on the beach or at a pool. LOCATION: Coral BaySide has a fabulous location in the “center” of Coral Bay. Dolphin Grocery Store is a 2 minute drive as is Crabby’s Watersports rentals, the Cocoloba shopping arcade and several great restaurants. Head in ANY direction & it’s a short drive to one mind boggling beach after another. You are also a very short drive to a number of the well-maintained National Park hiking trails. At the end of the day, enjoy Coral Bayview's Room Service delivered right to your deck for a private romantic dinner or head out to dinner in Coral Bay. Just a 1-5 minute drive in one direction are Aqua Bistro, Salty Mongoose and Wok On The Beach. 5 minutes in the other direction is Love City Cafe, Rhumblines, and the world famous Skinny Leg’s Bar and Grill for the absolutely best burgers in paradise. All of the above have designated parking. Check these local restaurants for their schedule of live music by local musicians and their summer closing schedules. During the season, Sundays on the Coral Bay side of the island are particularly special. A fantastic brunch is served at Miss Lucy’s waterside restaurant where you will find live Jazz music for Sunday brunch in season. While Coral Bayview is only a 1 minute walk to the main bus line, in order to make the most of your St. John vacation, we highly recommend renting a car and 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED. There are about 10 very small locally owned car rental business here on St. John to choose from or if you don't want to pay full price and want to save some money, we have a really nice Jeep 2 door hardtop (with soft roll back) Wrangler 4WD, see picture in our photo gallery, available for rent directly from your hosts at only $65.00 per day including insurance, 4 day minimum, with a $300.00 refundable cash damage deposit and a $50 cleaning fee. If you choose not to rent directly from us, we recommend Budget at the STT airport (NOT Havensight mall). If you rent at the STT airport, please note that the last Car ferry leaves STT at 6:30 PM. Plan to be at the car ferry dock by 5:30 PM. It’s at least a 30 minute drive from the airport to the car ferry so plan accordingly and leave yourself plenty of time so you don’t miss the last car ferry to St. John. Also the first car ferry to leave St. John on your departure to St. Thomas leaves St. John at 6:00 most days so you if you've rented your vehicle on St. Thomas and have an early departure flight you may find yourself pressed for time to make your flight. If you are not renting our vehicle we will provide you with driving directions from Cruz Bay to Coral Bayview. It’s a 30 minute easy drive from Cruz Bay over the island to Coral Bay and especially beautiful if you take the beach road through the National Park. Coral Bayview is located on a paved road with paved driveway and gravel parking area with designated guest parking space. PLEASE NOTE: 2 of St. John’s gas stations are located in Cruz Bay, on the other side of the island, and there is a new gas station mid-island on Centerline Road. Please always be mindful of your fuel gauge and never let your tank get below 1/4 full.
