This vacation home places you within a short walk of Virgin Islands National Park and within a mile (2 km) of Saltpond Bay Beach. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a patio, and a dining area.
Overview: Whole home! Amazing sunrises! Located on the Coral Bay side of the island and less than a mile from Salt Pond Beach, Rams Head trailhead, and the Virgin Island National Park. This fabulous villa is a dream, built with the traditional Balinese post & beam style and featuring loads of authentic Balinese touches- including the windows and the giant conch shells on the wall (yes- they are real shells!) With over 1,500 sq ft of outdoor deck space and two dining spaces, so you can choose to dine inside or outside. 1 serene air conditioned bedroom featuring a king bed w/ luxury cooling TempurPedic mattress and 2 wonderful bathrooms with showers, you will feel right at home. If you are feeling adventurous, enjoy the outdoor shower upstairs. Or you may choose the spacious ensuite shower downstairs, with room for two. The living room offers additional space with a cozy queen sofa bed for extra comfort. Full Kitchen, parking for multiple vehicles, A/C in the bedroom, Starlink WiFi are just a few of the amenities provided. Kickback, relax, and enjoy the quiet side of St John and all our villa has to offer. 4 wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended. On-property washer/dryer available for guests staying 5 days+.
The Upstairs: Living Room: Enjoy a comfortable couch and loveseat and a UHD 4K smart TV with Roku and soundbar while listening to the waves in the beautiful open-air living space. We also have a handful of games, cards and binoculars for you to use while you are here. There is a dining table that seats up to 6 people when the embedded butterfly leaf is unfolded. There is a small table and chairs on the side of the dining area, perfect for coffee indoors or to use as a workstation if duty calls- you will LOVE the lighting-quick Starlink wifi for all your videocalls or movie streaming. The kitchen is quite fully stocked- we enjoy cooking, so it is complete- from pots & pans to whisks and spatulas, crock pot, coffee maker & coffee grinder (and wine opener, of course).
There is an upstairs bathroom with a large outdoor shower. It features more of the Balinese touches- including the outdoor entrance into the shower- quite a conversation piece, I promise!
The back deck is our crown jewel- you will love listening to and watching the ocean waves roll in- and the abundant ocean life visible from the deck, including rays, sharks, barracudas, happy pelicans and majestic frigatebirds all enjoying the abundance of fish schooling in the bay. On the deck you will find antique Balinese recliners (they are so comfortable) and an al fresco dining space for 4.
Downstairs: Once you go down the steps to the lower level, you will find the decking- and the views- continue. There is another wonderful space to lounge in the hammock and unwind as well as a quaint picnic table to enjoy a sunny lunch and look out over the terraced garden featuring bougainvillea, palm trees, pineapples, cacti and even a papaya tree.
Once you go into the master bedroom, you will be greeted by a large beautiful 4-post bed that supports a new KING TempurPedic luxury cooling mattress. From atop the bed, you will be able to look directly out onto the ocean. There is also a small coffee bar set-up downstairs (You are on vacation- Coffee should be just steps away!).
Walk through the Balinese double doors into the ensuite bathroom, featuring beautiful tile work and a view of the ocean while you unwind in the spacious shower.
This place is a gem- we look forward to hosting you and hope the memories you make here are as magical as this beautiful island we call home.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area.

Had a great stay at Folly View. The views are spectacular. Constant Easterly breeze kept temps very comfortable. WIFI was excellent. Road (Donkey Trail) is a little rough to get to property but DID NOT need 4 wheel drive. Definitely would stay again.

Enthralling, expansive views, relaxing ocean surf and seabird sounds, great week!
The Bali-flavored wood-carving esthetic and extremely thoughtful airflow design resulted in a relaxing, joyous, and restorative week for our first visit to St. John.Perhaps we were lucky that the prevailing winds from the East at 10-15 mph kept any and all bugs away, but also provided pleasing breezes both on the upper and lower porches and throughout the upstairs living space.We loved the beautiful gardens, Bali wood-carvings, quality tile flooring, solid window and door hardware, mood lighting, safety motion-sensor lighting for the stairs, and of course the incredible location and views of the St. John east end, BVI, and many other islands.We loved the well-appointed kitchen with excellent quality UV-filtered tap water. We grilled fresh fish that Ali at Calabash seasoned for us. Salt Pond Bay was only a few minutes away for great snorkeling, 4-wheel drive to nearby Lameshur Bays for more great wildlife and snorkeling.We experienced an earthquake at 2:58am May 4th - on our anniversary! (no damage). The solar battery backup system was needed to keep the fridge, some lights, and water running during island-wide rolling zone-scheduled power outages.The downstairs bathroom lighting could use improvement, and a mirror over the sink. The road to the house needs some smoothing - we really bounced around in our (necessary) jeep getting to and from the property.

Perfect Break from the Winter Blues!
Folly View was exactly what we were looking for! The views are so great. You can see Tortola and the East Side of Saint John while also enjoying the pelicans dive in the bay. The Salt Pond Beach is so close to the property and Corral Bay is a great little town for anything you might need. The home was well stocked with every kitchen item you might need and the beach supply shed has snorkel and beach gear needed for a day in the sun. I appreciated the quick responses I received from the owner and she was very accommodating. I was vey grateful that we had rented a Jeep as the driveway is rougher than I had anticipated but nothing a Jeep could not handle. One last thing, the outside shower was beautiful and the porches are huge and have very comfortable chairs. The picnic table and hammock area was appreciated by my children. The yard had beautiful cactus and palm trees to enjoy. Folly View is the place to book if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the views of the islands.
