Over the Rainbow an alluring 3-bedroom villa that remains exceptionally peaceful, private and scenic. The home consists of three connected buildings – a great room and two bedrooms on the ground level with a third bedroom on the upper level. The buildings are built in a u shaped design with a tiled garden courtyard and dining area in the middle, bordered by native stone walls. You park below the villa and ascend a stone stairway up to the courtyard, where you enter the great room or any of the 3 a/c bedrooms. The great room features 16′ x 8′ screened glass doors that open to an intimate pool, sundeck and gazebo, all with spectacular views of the south coast of the National Park. Past guests frequently tell us that they’re amazed by the peacefulness and beauty of this divine setting. The two new (2019) equally sized master bedrooms/baths are in a 2-story building with interior stairs. Both of these bedrooms have private west facing decks that capture afternoon sun and memorable sunsets, while the upper bedroom has a second deck with east facing sunrise views.
Over the Rainbow is located on the border of the National Park in Reef Bay, in an exceptionally peaceful and unspoiled setting that is as private today as it was in 1991. This villa is blessed with magnificent 260 degree views, including the “Big Sur” like shoreline of the National Park, miles of blue Caribbean Sea, lovely sunrises over Reef Bay and the glow of sunsets behind Fish Bay. Reef Bay Beach is a usually deserted white sand beach that is a 10-15 minute hike from your villa. Reef Bay is St. John’s most “undiscovered” and virgin National Park beach where sea turtles still lay their eggs and romantic beach walks are very private affairs. A one mile hike along the shore brings you to a second beach at the head of Reef Bay while other trails take you on more challenging hikes through the National Park to Lameshur Bay, Bordeaux Mountain or Rams Head. It’s a four mile drive into Cruz Bay, all of which is on what passes on St. John for a paved road, but Reef Bay is well off the beaten path, so few tourists ever explore this beautiful and relatively unknown area of St John.
Living And Dining: Large screened glass doors on the east and west sides of the great house open to create a relaxing indoor-outdoor living area with romantic views and constant cooling breezes off Reef Bay. Terra cotta tiled floors, exposed beams and the pastel colors create a soothing interior while a rattan couch, loveseat and chair set insure comfortable seating. A 40" smart flat screen TV, stereo, and wireless internet provide the electronic entertainment. Dine inside at the glass and wicker table and chair set that seats 4, outside on the courtyard table also seating 4, or on the pool deck or under the gazebo also at a table seating four. Kitchen: The kitchen includes a 4-burner stove with oven, refrigerator-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, blender, coffeemaker, telephone and a suitable assortment of cookware and dinnerware. A washer/dryer and a BBQ grill are also included. Bedroom Details: Over the Rainbow has 3 a/c bedrooms and 3 baths. The lower level east facing guest bedroom has a king 4-poster bed and adjoining bath. The new lower master bedroom has 2 twins that open to a large private deck with views of Fish Bay and romantic sunsets. The upper level master bedroom and bath is accessed by interior stairs and has a king bed, adjoining bath, and two decks. One deck looks west to St. Thomas over Fish Bay, and a second deck has, oh so rare, sunrise and sunset (east and west) views.

Very Happy with Over the Rainbow
We had a wonderful week on St John and Over the Rainbow was a fantastic home to stay in. We loved the outdoor space. The views are gorgeous and there was always a breeze. The common room was comfortable for 6 adults. We prepared breakfast, lunch and few dinners with ease. The bedrooms are clean and had AC. As other reviews indicate, it is a further drive than other houses to beaches and town. It was fine for our family and made the trip feel more family oriented. I hope to come back!
