St. John Hotel Guide - Francis Bay hotels in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

"Just like the pictures. The views from the deck and house were amazing. Well equipped home, easy communication with host. Would definitely want to stay here again if/when we return to Coral Bay. "

"Easy check-in and great views! A nice, secluded location but still a short drive for beaches, restaurants, and shopping across the island"

"Kris is a phenomenal, helpful host and the villa is a treasure. Unbelievable views and wonderful nights above Coral Bay."

"We stayed at Bambooshay for 2 weeks in Feb/March 2026 and had the most amazing time. This homeIs perfect for a couple or a small family, or perhaps 2 couples, looking for a comfortable home, convenient to all that Coral Bay has to offer. We loved the convenience of one floor and the AC in the bedrooms, although we hardly used it as the home is perfectly situated to take advantage of cross island breezes. We also loved the book we found on the history of Bambooshay, and the story of the family’s rebuild after Irma. This home is perfection. The only feedback I have for the hosts would be to stock some foam type pillows for those of us that prefer a stiffer pillow. If that’s my only feedback, I think we’re doing pretty good. Amazing stay, thanks so much! "

"Spectacular view from a botanical paradise. Sue has created the most amazing setting with gorgeous plants in every direction- most nurtured from cuttings and now gloriously full grown. For anyone searching for a serene lush spot filled with remarkable growth all around: this is your place!"

"Amanda was so helpful, especially during an island power outage that lasted for many hours over approximately 2 ½ days. She supplied water, battery fans, and a large battery backup that enabled us to stay internet connected throughout. We’ve stayed here before: The property is very clean , well and comfortably furnished on the quiet side of the island. In short, don’t come here ‘cuz we want it all to ourselves!"

"Perfect place for a couple. Great location, magnificent views. We loved the location close to Francis bay and Maho. It’s tough to find a 1 bedroom stand alone villa this nice! "

"We had the best time at Island Stones!! The view was spectacular and our family enjoyed it so much! The kids had a blast in the game room and the pool/outdoor patio area was our favorite hangout. We will be staying again!"

"We loved the house! The road getting there was horrendous. We had ordered a Jeep from the rental company but they gave us a much bigger vehicle. By the end of the week we had gotten pretty good at navigating the washed out sections. We are not nightlife people so we loved being in Coral Bay and being closer to our favorite beaches."
