My husband & I came to St. John and stayed at Anchorage Aweigh to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. It was an absolute dream come true. The house was perfect: private, just the right size for 2, with a spectacular view of Coral Bay and all the amenities we could wish for. We love to cook so we made good use of the gourmet kitchen and gas grill. The outdoor shower was awesome with the little window to see the harbor and the beautiful rock and shell detail. We loved the view of the Moravian Church from the second floor balcony and were delightfully surprised when the church bells rang out Sunday morning. It was really entertaining watching all the local goings-on in the town below as well as the goats in the morning and the donkeys in the afternoon from our “birds-eye” view. Sitting on the swing in the evening with a drink listening to music from Sputniks drifting up the valley to our balcony was such a treat. We swam in the gorgeous pool every morning and every evening – a very, very nice way to cool off after exploring the island. It was wonderful coming back to our own little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay or the crowds at Trunk Bay. The pictures of the property are truly representative - no smoke and mirrors here. Anchorage Aweigh is a piece of heaven on earth and we are going to make this our anniversary spot for many years to come. What wonderful memories we have made and will continue make on beautiful St. John. Thank you Scott and Patricia for sharing your home on St. John with us. We absolutely loved it!
P.S. We agree with the other guest who commented that it is a tough call... Should we highly recommend it or keep this little jewel quiet?... But we have to be honest and give it our highest recommmendation. |

| We just got back from an amazing week at Anchorage Aweigh. The villa was perfect and everything we could have wished for for our wedding week in St John. It was impossible to capture the scope of the stunning views on camera and I can't think of anything better than the outdoor shower. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedroom stunning. Lounging in/around the picture perfect pool was excellent and we had to shoo the goats away before they started eating the flowers! We loved being in Coral Bay and we'll definitely be coming back. |

| What a treasure! I hate to even write a review because I want to keep this little piece of heaven a secret! Everything about this place is wonderful. Very well furnished. Here's a list of things the owners are kind enough to supply; a small cooler for the beach, ice packs for the cooler, two beach chairs with shoulder straps and pouch for carrying towels etc, coffee grinder, coffee pot, one pool float, wine opener, full kitchen supplies, Wi-Fi, beach towels, and grill. I could go on and on. The property manager and the owners have thought of every detail to make your trip the best ever. Love the salt water pool! The views are so wonderful. The owners and property mgr are very helpful and will respond very quick to any questions. The place has a neat story so read their blog. Enjoy! |

| My husband and I stayed at Anchorage Aweigh the last week of October 2009. The villa was beautiful, with picture-perfect views of Coral Bay. It was filled with amenities like a fully appointed kitchen, air-conditioned bedroom, wraparound porches, pool and outdoor shower. The pictures hardly do justice to the beauty of the villa and surrounding views! The on-island property manager was extremely helpful in getting us settled and answering questions. Anchorage Aweigh was the perfect base for our travels around the island. |

| this small villa was like a home away from home for us. the pool is a perfect oasis after a day out hiking or on the beach. the owners have done a great job in furnishing the place and provide practically everything you need. getting to the house (and up the driveway!) is always an adventure in itself, and we love the quietness of coral bay. although secluded enough, we liked that there were bars and restaurants just down the hill if we felt like eating out. finally, we very much enjoyed the sounds of the wildlife around the house: frogs, birds, and even the goats grazing in the field below! we'd love to come back! |
