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.

Loved Little Palm
My husband and I have been coming to St. John for many years. We love the Coral Bay side of the island, and we found that Little Palm offered us quick access to the beautiful beaches, hiking trails...and of course local favorites like Skinny Legs! We always bring food with us, so we enjoyed the BBQ and well equipped kitchen. We slept primarily in the lower master bathroom for the breezes...and the fans kept the temps nice. The highlight of this stay was sitting on the screened-in porch playing cribbage, reading, and relaxing while enjoying the harbor view. Highly recommend, and thank you Rik and Ann!

Nature Lovers Dream
Little Palm was the perfect get away for our family! My husband and two teens (13 and 16) loved waking up each morning to the birds and then hearing them call to each other in the evening. The open air house left us feeling like we were camping in a rainforest, in all the best ways. The view of Coral Bay was beautiful and we even had a rainbow one morning after a brief rain. There is only air conditioning in the upstairs bedroom, but despite visiting in June during a heat advisory, we didn't have any problems. The breezes kept the house comfortable and we all adjusted quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Little Palm. Ann and Rik were wonderful and so responsive. The house is fully stocked with snorkel gear, kitchen necessities (and I cooked a lot), shampoo, conditioner, and soaps. We plan to come back again!

Wonderful house, convenient location to Coral Bay!
We loved our stay at Little Palm! Gorgeous view from the veranda overlooking Coral Bay! The two bedrooms are comfortable and private from each other. It's great that they each have their own bathroom. St. John is not a very accessible place in general, but this house was perfect for my sister who has bad knees- no stairs at all from the driveway and everything she needed was on the upper level! The kitchen is well appointed and the hosts, Rik and Ann, were very thoughtful, kind, and responsive throughout our stay. Small touches, like repairing the beach chairs and providing a brush to keep sand out of the Jeep made a big impact and show how considerate and hospitable they are! I highly recommend this house, the only things I would keep in mind are: the house is positioned above a curve on route 10 so you may hear honking/cars occasionally (most of the time it was very peaceful though), noseeums are not completely thwarted by the screens so I definitely recommend bringing bug spray, and the lower bedroom has beautiful windows with heavy curtains, but light still comes in the door, so I was glad to have my sleeping eye mask with me. The magnificent views, convenient access to town/beaches, uv water filter, and comfort of the home made this a great choice for us! Thank you Rik and Ann for a wonderful stay!

A Wonderful Tropical Experience
Our party of three adults loved the location and experience of renting a house on St. John in January, 2023. The house was clean and comfortable and contained everything needed for our visit. The appliances are up to date; the water was excellent; the wifi worked well. Mill Vista Road is paved up the hill from Highway 10.

Great place
Little Palm is very roomy with 2 levels and separate bedrooms. The upper screened deck is wonderful with a great view. Very relaxing. Location is convenient to everything on the island. If you like to snorkel Little Palm is central. 20 minutes max to the best locations. Don't miss the Windmill Bar when you visit St John. One of the best views anywhere. Highly recommend Little Palm if you appreciate a great value.

Excellent place to soak up the island environment
The thing we loved about this place is that it's completely open air, with screens on the upper patio and windows and doors. This allowed us to be protected from mosquitos but be outside all the time! We did get a few noseeum bites while on the upper patio the first couple of evenings, but that seemed to stop happening after that. The noise from surrounding houses, traffic and Coral Bay was disruptive a few times, but overall tolerable for the tradeoff of feeling connected to nature. There were iguanas in the trees at eye level next to the patio that we saw nearly every day eating tree berries. Very cool. The house has everything you need to be comfortable and enjoy the island. (kitchen well stocked; towels, beach, and snorkeling gear, etc.) The temperature was pretty nice in the house since it would cool down nicely after sunset thanks to the openness to the outdoors. The house and furnishings are all operable and in good condition. Plenty of space and room to store your things. The fridge worked perfectly, which we have not always experienced on St. John, so that was appreciated! Rik and Ann were wonderfully kind, considerate, and accommodating. We felt at home and really enjoyed the feeling of being outdoors the whole time. Just the tropical time we wanted to have.

Great Stay, Super Hosts
Three of us spent a week here in November 2022. The villa is in a great location for accessibility to Coral Bay and the North shore beaches. It has everything we needed: Coolers, beach gear, beach towels, full kitchen, lines to dry clothes and towels , and much more. I didn’t read the listing close enough and discovered that the downstairs bedroom isn’t air conditioned, but the screened windows and ceiling fans kept us plenty cool at night. We got to meet Rik and Ann, and they are super nice and funny! Overall a great stay on St. John!

Easy to find, awesome view, true island living experience.
We were a little intimidated finding the property after traveling from Pennsylvania. The directions given to us we’re easy to from the car ferry to the front door. Amazing property, easy to park the Jeep right near the door. The house was very welcoming, clean and well furnished. My wife and I took the main floor and our teenage son had the lower level. We learned the first night to follow the trash rules or the ants will find your left overs and doughnuts. We loved the easy drive to the beaches and then the easy drive back to the house to rest. Great location between so many beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. We would certain stay here again while on St. John.

A great home from which to explore St. John
I quickly felt right at home at Little Palm. The house had everything we needed and we all had a wonderful time. The location was ideal for visiting all the beaches, both south and north shore. We spent our days snorkeling sites around the island and in the evening we would either drive into town for dinner or enjoy dining on the screened-in porch.

Perfect Home Base!
Little Palm was so perfect! The highlights were the open floor plan out to the porch, two comfortable bedrooms both accessed from inside the house, beautiful shower, and a nicely equipped kitchen...oh, and a wide driveway with very little incline. The wrap around porch on the main floor was heaven. Because it was screened in, we could be out there all afternoon or evening without being eaten alive by no-see'ums or mosquitos. The breeze out there was so nice - a perfect end to each day - gazing out over Coral Bay. The hosts were incredibly accessible and responsive. We could not have asked for better. One heads up - we had T-Mobile and the cell service was spotty - but we learned quickly that for that provider, this is the case all over the island. Let you people know they may not be able to reach you! We look forward to returning! Thank you Rik and Ann!!

Thank you Ann and Rik for the use of your lovely home. Everything was impeccable.

Just Perfect
Little Palm was a great place to escape and relax. We loved the screened in porch. It was great for meals and just being together and playing games. Rik and Ann were great hosts and when we ran out of laundry detergent, they quickly supplied us with more. We are yearly visitors to St. John and we always stay on the Coral Bay side because of the laid back vibes that we get on the quieter side of St John. I can't say enough about Little Palm and it's owners. It was perfect! Thanks Rik and Ann. Take Care, Jim
