This location is amazing, and so are the hosts! We had an amazing time over the New Year holidays for 6 nights staying with Sue and Ron in the "A Place in the Sun" suite. If youre debating between this spot and somewhere else on St. John, forget the other place and stay here, even if it means spen

My husband and I stayed at Papaya Suite in November of 2021. This is by far the most unique and stunning property weve stayed at on St. John. Driving up to the villa on the well maintained paved roads was so easy, and its location is very convenient to some of the worlds best beaches on the North Sh

My husband and I recently spent 9 nights in suite papaya and had a fabulous trip. Communications with Ron/Sue were always prompt. Very detailed directions to the property given. Road is completely paved and easy to negotiate. The location is perfect as it is completely quiet and sits at the very end

5 stars all around. Owners Ron and Sue were wonderful and very knowledgeable about the Coral Bay side of the island. The unit had everything that I needed, was in great shape, and the views were nothing short of stunning. Not sure there is a better sunrise view anywhere on the island. The unit w

What a fantastic, quiet and beautiful place. The hosts were helpful and knowledgeable about the island, Its a great location for exploring, hiking, and close to many beaches. Very comfortable and plenty of room with the big open balconies.

A Place in the Sun is a perfect place for a couple to relax. Ron and Sue are wonderful hosts, happy to answer any questions and give plenty of local tips on restaurants, activities, and locations to snorkel, hike, or lay on the beach. The views from the villa are absolutely stunning--looking out to

I was on a solo trip to find some peace and quiet and Papaya Moon was the perfect place to stay. The home and grounds and beautiful and well maintained. My suite was spotless and well appointed with all I needed for the week (even beach chairs and a cooler). The view was breathtaking. I woke every m

We were blown away at the endless mountain views from the large covered deck of Papaya Moon Villa! It was hard to stop staring out at Coral Bay, Hurricane Hole, the east end of St. John and beyond to the British Virgin Islands! We felt like we were at a secluded tropical resort with papaya and palm

The views above Coral Bay are amazing from the deck and the sunrises over the BVI's from the hot tub with a cup of coffee are beyond description!! Ron and Sue were so accomodating from the time we arrived until our departure and were there to help us plan some activities and even dinner reser

Ron and Sue are excellent hosts and the views from the deck and hot tub are incredible!! This is a great place to relax and unwind away from the crowds, but only 15-20 minutes from most of the beautiful beaches!! A true gem with wonderful hosts!!!

We just came back from our stay at Papaya Moon and we can't wait to go back! The studio was spotless and had all the amenities (kitchen, beach chairs, cooler). The view was unreal and the two sliding doors open up to a huge wraparound deck. There is a jacuzzi and a pool! The view from the jac

This breathtaking property is something I hope my dreams remember daily. We had the most amazing vacation here. From the beaches within a short drive, to the hot tub and pool on property. The views, the sunrises and sunsets, A Place in the Sun is going to be my favorite place to visit from now on

We just spent 9 delightful days at Papaya Moon hosted by Ron and Sue. They are the ultimate hosts. Their beautiful home site includes tropical gardens, a pool, and a hot tub. Our suite, A Place in the Sun, is perfectly named. The studio is cheerful, efficient, and comfortable. The sun gently wake

The official greeter of the Papaya Suite is Thelma the dog, who welcomes you to the island and only charges in belly rubs. Ron and Sue were wonderful hosts who gave us the inside scoop on all the great local spots to enjoy the beauty of Coral Bay on the east side of the island. The Papaya Suite w

The house, the view, the location, the island just simply 5 stars. It was truly a great experience and thank you to the Yackel’s for opening their home to us. Will be returning soon!

Every detail on the property was meticulously crafted and well thought out. I enjoyed spending time on the huge deck taking in the island views and relaxing. Super private location with visiting deer every morning. No neighbors, no noise, no problems.

My wife and I stayed a Suite Papaya for eight nights and enjoyed every minute. The property has a great location and is very secluded high on the mountain side. The huge covered porches was our favorite part with outstanding views and very comfortable breezes, even in August. We did not get to me
