Chose this property due to coral bay location and pool! This property did not disappoint! The pool was perfect and refreshing for our family post hot beach days. AC worked great. Very clean and perfect for my husband, two teens and I. Location is not too far from Coral Bay shops and restaurants- north shore beaches were not very far either. Definitely need a car for this property
This house was incredible. Great views, we enjoyed the more private side of the island. Perfect set up for a family of four. Everything was in great condition and worked perfectly. I highly recommend and would definitely return to St John and stay at Bananakeet.
The house was exactly as advertised. The view is spectacular! We are Coral Bay people and loved the houseâs proximity to Salt Pond Bay, the markets, Pizza Bar, Miss Lucyâs and the East End Beaches. The house was immaculate and very clean. The management team was top notch, but after check-in, we didnât need them for anything.
We canât wait to come back!
Enjoyed this property and will be back again. Loved the location - close enough to beaches and restaurants but far enough from everything. Very quiet and peaceful. Everyone with Antares was nice and helpful. They were responsive to any questions we had. Loved it!!!
My family (two adults and 8 year old) child stayed at the home for a week in March and found the property to be outstanding. The pictures do not do it justice, the home was recently renovated including new appliances/grill and really feels bigger due to its upside-down arrangement. While there is air conditioning we didn't need it as the breeze coming through from its water adjacent location was amazing, as was listening to the waves. It also also has unobstructed views of the east end of St John all the way to Tortola. The rental hosts were easy to coordinate with and we found their app to be helpful. The location was quiet, perfect if you are looking to get away from busy Cruz Bay. Its also a quick drive to two fairly well stocked markets and 3-4 restaurants, including Skinny Legs. About 15-20 min drive over the hill to the beaches. We will be back!
Bananakeet is especially perfect for people familiar with St. John. We go to get away from the hustle and Cruz Bay has become very busy for us during high season.
We loved being able to relax far away from everything.
Plenty of beautiful nights out on the deck watching the birds and iguanas. The kitchen is perfectâover 8 days we only ate two meals not at the house. Check in was amazing and even with the farther location we had WiFi and cell reception almost our whole stay for work calls and emails. The pool is a fantastic retreat after a Ram Head hike.
Even if you get into town and want to buy groceries there, if you can hold off until you get into Coral Bay Calabash market is amazing and we got fresh bluefin tuna and the most amazing scallops for our last dinners. Overall it was truly excellent and would highly recommend this spot.
Note: you do need a car to be able to get around. The location is wonderful but it is definitely a drive from the ferries and coral bay doesnât have a lot of taxis.
Excellent stay on the quiet side of St. John! Wonderful location and very clean. Property manager was prompt and very responsive to any inquiries I had via email/text from the time of booking all the way through the checkout process. Highly recommend.
