The Perfect Place for Us

Little Palm was the perfect place for us. Ann and Rik were wonderful hosts. They provided tips on the best places to go, were quick to reply to text messages and everything else we could have needed like beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and snorkel gear were provided. We loved the wrap around screened in porch and we spent many evenings having gatherings around the large porch dining room table. The drive to get to the house is easy as well as making it up the driveway (which was also easy to turn around in). We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful Paradise Perfection

We had an amazing stay here! Wonderful amenities, amazing kitchen, washer/dryer/clotheslines. The upstairs bathroom was pure bliss!!! Loved all the plants, the wildlife, the location was perfect!! Lots of kitchen supplies, nice notes regarding different items, so helpful. This is one of the nicest places we've stayed. Like living outdoors!!! So close to trail I actually ran there a couple times from the house. Not for everyone but I loved it. If you go to St John, this is a grade A, class A experience to rent.

Another great vacation on St. John

We always stay in Coral Bay, but this was our first time at Little Palm Villa. The house was perfect, had everything we needed for cooking (even sharp knives), great showers and comfy beds. The entire house including upstairs porch is screened in. The breeze was great and the numerous ceiling fans kept everything cool. Ann and Rik were super helpful answering questions about what was and wasn't going to be open on xmas eve and xmas, Joy (property manager) took us on a night snorkel (so fun). Highly recommend.

Wonderful Home Above Coral Bay

First...definitely spend most of your vacation time in VI on St. John's staying in Coral Bay. Quiet, peaceful, and close to the best beaches in USVI. Second, stay here. The house is spacious with 2 master bedrooms, one upstairs and the other downstairs, lots of dining space and comfy seating and a well thought out kitchen. The stars of the house are 2 large decks with great views of Coral Bay and with lots of seating upstairs and wonderfully cool breezes coming off the Bay. Finally, what makes it perfect are the hosts. Rik and Ann were very helpful and friendly.

Second time around!

It's our second time around so no needs to say much. The house now has solar power and water pump. A little hitcup with ice dispenser frozen but Joy took great care of us. There was sands on the sofar so we shook it off outside, no biggie but that's why there are a 4 for cleanliness. No laundry detergent either so we made do with hand soap 😁. Hope to go back again soon when we all gear up for the no see ums.

About the host

Hosted by Rik and Ann

Rik and Ann have owned a 65 ' charter boat doing week long charters in the Virgin Islands for 30 years and now live on a smaller sailboat when renting our house.

In the 90's we sailed our cruising boat to the South Pacific for 7 years and lived in New Zealand for 3 of those years before returning back to the Virgin Islands and chartering again.

When we travel our guests are in good hands with our friend Joy who knows the house and island as well as we do, and is nearby within hours if needed.

Why they chose this property

This is a unique house because of the openness and breeze. Having a screened in porch has allowed us not to have any doors leading onto the porch which gives the house an outdoor feeling and enhances the breeze. So you can spend more time enjoying the porch with that tropical feeling and views of the harbor and islands.
