An altogether lovely property. Beautiful living area and pool. Nice view. Plenty of kitchenware and the ice machine and secondary refrigerators were welcome surprises. The only discordant note and a WARNING. The beds are not queen size. I measured them at 56" and queens start, repeat start, at 60" in width. At 6'2", 200 lbs., this was an issue for me and my wife.

Beautiful View, great amenities!

The house is exactly what we needed to celebrate our anniversary. We had never stayed on Coral Bay side of the island. We were greeted each morning by a beautiful sunrise. We spent our days at Maho, Trunk, and Cinnamon beaches which were all very easy to get to. The kitchen is well stocked, so if you wish to cook you don't need to bring anything. Beach chairs, snorkels, towels, all provided. Nice gated property. Power Outages are common on St John, and this house has a backup generator which was amazing. Three couples could easily stay in the three bedrooms. In our case, it was more than sufficient for our family of four. We would highly recommend!

The host here, Emma, and the entire management company are, undoubtedly, some of the best on St. John. They are attentive and the directions provided to the home were spot on and even included a Google pin locator which really made it even easier to find. The home is unbelievable! Ice cold AC, a wonderfully apportioned gourmet kitchen with tons of elegant marble counter space and newer appliances. A very nice grill, a beautiful pool, and amazing landscaping attract many varieties of birds from white winged doves to bananaquits to the magnificent green throated hummingbirds!The bedrooms were very comfortable especially the upstairs bedroom which is where I slept. The cool breezes at this home will lull you to sleep at night with the windows open, it is magical. I had some of the best sleep there and long to return now that I am back home on the north coast of the USA. You can’t beat the location as well, nestled into the heart of Beautiful Coral Bay. It is known as Love City and it will not take you long to realize the folks who live here are some of the most genuine and caring people you will ever meet! Be sure to check out the very special event which is hosted right down the street on Thursday’s called Ms. Lucy’s. It is an outdoor music venue, right on the beach, hosted by local musicians and features a local made dinner and amazing bar. You can’t go wrong with Amarilla Villa! I will be back soon because it has become my new favorite villa on St. John. Enjoy! A

Stunning Views

Property was amazing. I rented it for my fiancés 50th birthday and invited two other couples. The house was plenty big enough, well maintained, and nicely appointed. The sleeping quarters are separate from the main living area and nice and private. The property was beautiful and the views spectacular. Another reviewer had said that the pictures don’t do the property justice and I agree. It’s far more beautiful than the photos. Only piece of advice is to input the Villa name instead of the street address into your GPS or you’ll likely be driving forever looking for it. I would definitely stay there again!!!!

Great place to stay

This villa was beautiful ! We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning . The only down side to our stay was the internet only worked when you were in the living room kitchen area (no bedrooms ) . If you add a booster it would be great but that would not stop us from renting here again. The view was great the home was everything they state and more .

We just recently ended our stay at Amarilla Villa and the house is what made our vacation complete. Waking up each day to the sunrise and enjoying the hot tub in the evening were bookends to our day. We used the kitchen for all,of our meals except two evenings when we dined out. Our lunches were mostly spent on the beach with our pre-made thermos of rum punches. Overall, Amarilla is a great place to stay and well worth the money spent. If you want a house on the beach then be prepared to pay the big bucks. If you want a house with a fantastic view along with solitude then this is your choice. (If you have children they will require adult supervision with the pool and hot tub.)
