House Or Rental
St. John Airbnb's
The main house will be located in Chocolate Hole, St John - we recommend booking close to Cruz Bay as Coral Bay is a roughly 20-25 minute drive to the main town. However, if you have no problems coming and going from Coral Bay, then feel free to stay in whichever beautiful part of the island you choose - you can't go wrong anywhere you decide. We also recommend coordinating with other wedding attendees to split larger Airbnb Villas to not only lessen the cost burden for lodging but also to get the most bang for your buck on an amazing Villa in tropical paradise. We have included a short list of Airbnb's available on the island here and if you are unable to access the list please text either Bradley or Ella to share to list with you directly. Please also text us directly if you would like suggestions on who to coordinate with for splitting Airbnb's, we have plenty of thoughts in mind for grouping amongst friends and family.
